Patent attributes
A method for context-based synchronization of selected items in at terminal device based on at least one context-based profile and acquired context. A context-based profile is created, wherein each context-based profile includes context-based items that are weighted according their level of importance, and items in the terminal device that are to be synchronized are selected in association with the context-based profile. When the terminal device receives an instruction to perform a synchronization operation related to the terminal device, the terminal device acquires context, and stores the context in the terminal device. The context is compared with the context-based profile stored in the terminal device, and it is determined whether the results of the comparison satisfy a threshold. Synchronization of the selected items in the terminal device is performed automatically or manually based on the determination of whether the comparison between the context and the at least one context-based profile satisfies the threshold.
