Synchronizing events between mobile devices and servers

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions that, if executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform a method for method for synchronizing events between a server and a mobile device, the method comprising:

• detecting an event to be synchronized from a source system to a target system, wherein the source system is one of the server or the mobile device;
• deducing activities that occurred in order to create the detected event on the source system, wherein the deducing comprises examining the detected event;
• reading data records corresponding to the deduced activities;
• creating packets of operations needed to recreate the deduced activities on the target system by determining if a subset of the deduced activities do not need to be recreated on the target system, wherein the determination is based on a chronology of the deduced activities, wherein the target system is one of the server or the mobile device;
• queuing the packets of operations and data records for the mobile device if it is determined that the target system is the mobile device and it is determined that the mobile device is offline;
• repeating the queuing until it is determined that the mobile device is online;
• and
• receiving event synchronization results at the server after the queued packets of operations have successfully executed on the mobile device, wherein the event synchronization results include at least a synchronization status and a unique record identifier identifying the event.

A system capable of synchronizing events between a mobile device and a server, the system comprising:

• a server;
• a detection module configured to detect, at the server, an event to be synchronized from a source system to a target system, wherein the source system is one of the mobile device or the server;
• a deduction module configured to deduce activities that occurred in order to create the detected event on the source system, wherein the deducing comprises examining the event;
• a retrieval module configured to read data records corresponding to the activities deduced by the deduction module;
• an encapsulation module configured to create packets of operations needed to recreate the deduced activities on the target system by determining if a subset of the deduced activities do not need to be recreated on the target system, wherein the determination is based on a chronology of the deduced activities, wherein the target system is one of the server or the mobile device;
• a determining module configured to determine whether the mobile device is offline;
• a queuing module configured to queue the packets of operations and the data records if it is determined that the target system is a mobile device and is determined that the mobile device is offline;
• and
• a receiving module configured to receive event synchronization results after the queued packets of operations have successfully executed, wherein the event synchronization results include at least a synchronization status and a unique record identifier identifying the event.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer usable medium having computer program logic recorded thereon for enabling a processor to synchronize events between a plurality of mobile devices and a plurality of servers, the computer program logic comprising:

• instructions for enabling a processor to determine whether there is an event to be synchronized from a source system to a destination system, wherein the source system is either one of the plurality of mobile devices or one of the plurality of servers;
• instructions for enabling a processor to indicate to the instructions that there is an event to be synchronized if it is determined that there is an event to be synchronized from the source system;
• instructions for enabling a processor to deduce activities that occurred in order to create the event on the source system, wherein the deducing comprises examining the event;
• instructions for enabling a processor to create packets of operations needed to recreate the deduced activities on the target system by determining if a subset of the deduced activities do not need to be recreated on the target system, wherein the determination is based on a chronology of the deduced activities;
• instructions for enabling a processor to save the event to be synchronized in a request cache, wherein the request cache is accessible from the target system, wherein the request cache includes at least a unique record identifier identifying said event;
• instructions for enabling a processor to determine whether said one of the plurality of mobile devices is offline;
• instructions for enabling a processor to queue synchronization of said event for the target system if it is determined that the target system is said one of the plurality of mobile devices and it is determined that said one of the plurality of mobile devices is offline;
• and
• instructions for enabling a processor to receive synchronization results after said event has been synchronized on the target system, wherein the synchronization results include at least a synchronization status and the unique record identifier identifying the event.
