Starfish Advances Patent Leadership in Wireless Data Synchronization Solutions.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 19, 2002 Starfish Expands Patent Portfolio to Include TrueResume(TM) Technology for the Recovery From Interrupted Communications During a Synchronization (1) See synchronous and synchronous transmission. (2) Ensuring that two sets of data are always the same. See data synchronization. (3) Keeping time-of-day clocks in two devices set to the same time. See NTP. Session Starfish Software Starfish was founded in 1994 by Philippe Kahn, best known for his invention of the camera phone and his most recent company Fullpower Technologies. The founding vision of Starfish was global synchronization and integration of wireless and wireline devices, which translated with the , a leading provider of end-to-end mobile infrastructure solutions for the wireless world, announced today that it has received its latest U.S. Patent and Trademark Office award, patent number US 6,477,545, relating to relating to relate prep → concernant relating to relate prep → bezüglich +gen, mit Bezug auf +acc recovery from a communication session failure during a synchronization session. The patent award further underscores Starfish's leadership in delivering advanced data synchronization Keeping data in two or more computers up-to-date so that each repository contains the identical information. Data in handheld devices and laptops often require synchronization with the data in a desktop machine or server. solutions. Using this patented technology, if some, but not all changes, are sent from one dataset to another, and then the communication link is lost, the changes that were already successfully transferred will be synchronized syn·chro·nize v. syn·chro·nized, syn·chro·niz·ing, syn·chro·niz·es v.intr. 1.

Anticipating the explosive adoption of handheld and wireless devices that synchronize and integrate information with desktops and servers over wireless and wireline connections, Starfish invented its TrueResume recovery technology to apply to the many mobile scenarios where an interruption in a data synchronization session may occur such as dropped wireless data calls when in transit or in low coverage areas or intermittent connections when moving in and out of wireless LAN A local area network that transmits over the air typically in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz unlicensed frequency band. It does not require line of sight between sender and receiver. Wireless base stations (access points) are wired to an Ethernet network and transmit a radio frequency over an area coverage areas. By not having to re-send the entire data set when reconnected, Starfish's patented TrueResume recovery technology provides for more accurate synchronization and quicker recovery resulting in better overall user experience. "Starfish has focused on developing the most advanced and robust platform for wireless synchronization solutions," said Gregg Armstrong, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Starfish. "The powerful combination of our patented Multi-Point Synchronization (MPS) and TrueResume recovery technology provides our TrueSync licensees with the most scalable, accurate and efficient synchronization solutions on the market, especially for wireless services." TrueResume technology is available today in Starfish's end-to-end TrueSync Server solutions that include TrueSync Plus software for PCs or TrueSync Wireless software for WinCE and PocketPC devices. US patent no. 6,477,545 is the latest addition to Starfish's portfolio of 39 issued and allowed patents, the most claimed by any synchronization solutions provider. These patents demonstrate Starfish's strong leadership position in the development of technology for synchronizing synchronizing, n a technique that a therapist uses to coordinate his or her breath with that of the client; builds trust and establishes relationship. data of all types.
