Wireless intelligent portable-server system (WIPSS)

A sync-seeking system, comprising:

• a central server that stores a central-server copy of shared data and can accumulate central-server changes to said central-server copy;
• a first portable server that stores a first-portable-server copy of said shared data and can accumulate first-portable-server changes to said first-portable-server copy;
• and
• a second portable server that stores a second-portable-server copy of said shared data and can accumulate second-portable-server changes to said second-portable-server copy,
• wherein said central server and said first portable server engage in peer-to-peer communication, via at least one wireless network, to exchange any central-server changes that have been accumulated by said central server and any first-portable-server changes that have been accumulated by said first portable server, and
• said central server and said second portable server engage in peer-to-peer communication, via at least one wireless network, to exchange any central-server changes that have been accumulated by said central server and any second-portable-server changes that have been accumulated by said second portable server,
• until said central server, said first portable server, and said second portable server each store a copy of synchronized data.

A method for synchronizing a central server and a portable server, said method comprising:

• said central server collecting central-server information for delivery to said portable server;
• said portable server collecting portable-server information for delivery to said central server;
• said portable server establishing a wireless connection with at least one wireless network;
• said central server and said portable server establishing a logical connection via said at least one wireless network;
• and
• said central server and said portable server engaging in peer-to-peer communication, via said logical connection, wherein said central server transfers said central-server information to said portable server and said portable server transfers said portable-server information to said central server.

A sync-seeking system, comprising:

• a portable server that stores a first-portable-server copy of first original data and a second-portable-server copy of second original data and can accumulate first-portable-server changes to said first-portable-server copy and second-portable-server changes to said second-portable-server copy;
• a first central server that stores a first-central-server copy of said first original data and can accumulate first-central-server changes to said first-central-server copy;
• and
• a second central server that stores a second-central-server copy of said second original data and can accumulate second-central-server changes to said second-central-server copy,
• wherein said first central server and said portable server engage in peer-to-peer is communication, via at least one wireless network, to exchange any first-central-server changes that have been accumulated by said first central server and any first-portable-server changes that have been accumulated by said portable server until said first central server and said portable server each store a copy of first synchronized data that corresponds to said first original data as modified by said any first-central-server changes and said any first-portable-server changes, and
• said second central server and said portable server engage in peer-to-peer communication, via at least one wireless network, to exchange any second-central-server changes that have been accumulated by said second central server and any second-portable-server changes that have been accumulated by said portable server until said second central server and said portable server each store a copy of second synchronized data that corresponds to said second original data as modified by said any second-central-server changes and said any second-portable-server changes.
