SYNCHRONIZE CALENDAR AND PHONE BOOK

In everyday life, access to an updated calendar and details of friends and business colleagues is greatly appreciated. To be truly mobile, users must be able to carry their important information with them. Equipping mobile phones with Personal Information Manager (PIM) programs like calendars, to-do lists and address books gives users access to their most important data any- where and anytime. The information is kept updated by synchronizing with the information at the office or at home. The growing use of groupware SW such as Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes means that more and more meetings are booked electronically in daily business life.

The user can save up to 200 appointments and tasks in the calendar, depending on the size of each item. These can be kept up to date with the user’s other calendars and agenda programs on a PC or on a PDA or on the internet. The hierarchical phone book is also easily updated in the same way.

Synchronize With Local Calendar And Phone Book

Open standard

Communication with almost any groupware or office program, since

 

the synch method complies to the open standard IrMC 1.1, as specified

 

by the Infrared Data Association, reference http://www.irda.org. IrMC

 

1.1 brings together the following standards:

 

vCard 2.1 for address book information

 

vCalendar 1.0 for appointment and to-do information

 

ObEx (Object Exchange) protocol version 1.0, for data exchange

Bluetooth wireless technology, infrared or cable

The T39 synchronizes using the same protocol, regardless of connec- tion type. It connects via Bluetooth wireless technology, infrared or cable. The cable is connected either directly to the phone or to the desktop charger.

Automatic synch

When infrared or Bluetooth wireless technology is switched on in the

 

phone, the synch process starts automatically, as soon as the phone is

 

within range of a compatible port on a PC or handheld device (a suit-

 

able synchronization program must be running on the device).

Intelligent process

A synchronization engine performs the task of synchronizing. For local

 

synchronization the synchronization engine is an application running

 

on the desktop computer. The synchronization engine compares,

 

updates and resolves conflicts to make the information in the phone the

 

same as in the computer.
