20150317372 | CORE DATA SYNCHRONIZATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS - To synchronize data between a remote database and a local object-graph-and-persistence-framework, a synchronization framework receives messages from the local object-graph-and-persistence-framework indicating that a locally-managed object has been retrieved from a local datastore and instantiated or that the locally-managed object has been created, modified, or deleted. When the synchronization framework determines that the message was instigated by a local user's activity (as opposed to a background synchronization process), the synchronization framework synchronizes the locally-managed object with the remote database. | 11-05-2015 |

By storing all the user's relevant information in the cloud, this information may be accessed anywhere and may be used to configure a large number of different devices according to the user's settings. | 11-12-2015 |
20150331924 | SYNCHRONIZING ENDPOINT DATA STORES HAVING DISPARATE SCHEMAS - Synchronizing data between multiple endpoint data stores that have disparate schemas is accomplished in a manner that reduces complexity. Each endpoint data store has an associated local schema that orders data into one or more fields.

A virtual schema is generated based on a set-intersection of the local schemas. The virtual schema maps a field in one local schema to a field in another local schema. Data is synchronized between the endpoint data stores using the virtual schema. | 11-19-2015 |

The rules relate to efficiently managing the storage limitations on both the device and the cloud space as needed. Original media files and their cached versions can be dynamically assigned to be automatically deleted from the user device in favor of being uploaded to the cloud space, as device storage space becomes limited. These media files and their cached versions can be automatically re-downloaded from the cloud space to the user device when a user or application requires them. | 12-03-2015 |
