Abstract
A system and method is provided for optimizing a SyncML slow sync between a proprietary client and server. When a slow sync is detected, the client and server can depart from the normal SyncML protocol and process summary data without having to compare all items on a field-by-field basis.

1-15. (canceled)
A computer-implemented method for optimizing a slow synchronization between a client and a server, comprising:
- receiving, by the client and from the server and responsive to the server receiving a synchronization package having missing or corrupt synchronization anchors, a request to initiate a slow synchronization process;
- and
- sending, by the client and to the server, a slow synchronization package, wherein
- the server determines from the slow synchronization package whether the client is designated proprietary,
- the server processes and only upon the client being designated proprietary, the slow synchronization package, and
- the slow synchronization package includes only summary data related to documents stored at the client.

A computer hardware system configured to optimize a slow synchronization between a client and a server, comprising:
- the client including at least one processor configured to initiate the following operations:
- receiving, by the client and from the server and responsive to the server receiving a synchronization package having missing or corrupt synchronization anchors, a request to initiate a slow synchronization process;
- and
- sending, by the client and to the server, a slow synchronization package, wherein
- the server determines from the slow synchronization package whether the client is designated proprietary,
- the server processes and only upon the client being designated proprietary, the slow synchronization package, and
- the slow synchronization package includes only summary data related to documents stored at the client.
