Method and Apparatus for Storing Real-Time Text Messages

Abstract

A synchronization (“synch”) module may reside on a source computing platform and a destination computing platform. The synch module may be configured to operate as a source synch module or a destination synch module depending on which computing platform is a data source. As an data source or initiator, the synch module may be configured to transfer data, e.g., an archived message history, from a source computing platform to a destination computing platform. At the destination computing platform, the synch module may be further configured to convert the received archived message history to a specified data format, where the data format is predetermined by a user. The converted data, e.g., an archived message history, may then be stored in a pre-determined location by the synch module.

1 . A method for transferring data between a data source and a data sink, comprising:
 initiating a transfer of a message history data;   transferring said message history data in response to an establishment of communication channel;   converting received message history data to previously selected data format; and   storing converted message history data in a previously selected location.
