Abstract

Disclosed is a terminal performing data synchronization with a server or another terminal. The terminal is capable of synchronizing at least one type of preset file with a server connected through a network. The terminal can comprise: a management unit which manages first synchronization information for identifying the at least one type of file among multiple files stored in the terminal; a transmitting and receiving unit which receives second synchronization information for identifying the at least one type of file stored in the server when the transmitting and receiving unit is connected through the server and the network; and a determination unit which determines whether synchronization is required between the terminal and the server by comparing the first synchronization information and the second synchronization information.
