Embodiment Construction

[0020]FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a computer network 100, comprising a first node such as a remote computer terminal 102 coupled via a communications channel 104 such as the Internet to a global server 106. The global server 106 is in turn coupled via a communications channel 108 such as the Internet to a second node such as a Local Area Network (LAN) 110. The global server 106 is protected by a global firewall 112, and the LAN 110 is protected by a LAN firewall 114.

[0021] The LAN 110 includes a system bus 126 coupling the LAN firewall 114 to an e-mail server 128 having an e-mail folder 138 containing e-mails, to a file server 132 having a file folder 142 containing files, to a calendar server 130 having a calendar folder 140 containing calendar data, and to a desktop computer 134 having a web browser 152 and a bookmark folder 144 containing bookmarks. It will be appreciated that the e-mail folder 138, file folder 142, calendar folder 140 and bookmark folder 144 or porti...

Abstract

A system transmits new workspace elements or new workspace element changes at a first memory store via an electronic network to a second memory store. The system includes a first memory store for storing workspace elements, a second memory store coupled via an electronic network to the first memory store for storing workspace element copies, an interface for receiving new workspace elements at the first memory store, and a general synchronization module for electronically transmitting copies of the new workspace elements via the electronic network to the second memory store.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is a Continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09 / 921,228, filed Aug. 1, 2001, which is a Continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09 / 666,877, filed Sep. 20, 2000, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,708,221, issued Mar. 16, 2004. The contents of these applications are incorporated in their entirety by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] This invention relates generally to computer networks, and more particularly to a system and method for using a global translator to synchronize workspace elements such as files across a computer network. [0004] 2. Description of the Background Art [0005] Data consistency is a significant concern for computer users. For example, when maintaining multiple independently-modifiable copies of a document, a user risks using an outdated version. By the time the user notices an inconsistency, interparty miscommunication or data loss may have already res...
