Detailed ways

In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the specific embodiments of the present application and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of this application.

In various scenarios where folders are used to store and manage files in groups, users may need to use files in multiple folders at the same time. For example, in a database system, when files in multiple folders need to be organized according to attributes such as application type, file type or file size, it is necessary to obtain the application type, file type or file size from multiple folders with the same or the same size. similar files, and perform subsequent processing on these files, such as deleting or migrating to a new storage location. For another example, in a common computer device, when files of the same type in multiple folders need to be used, it is necessary to obtain files of the same type from multiple folders, and perform subsequent processing according to these files. In the prior art, if a user needs to use files in multiple folders at the same time, the user needs to obtain the required files from each folder, which is cumbersome and inefficient.

In view of this technical problem, in some embodiments of the present application, the files in multiple folders are classified, and the folders containing files of the same type are transparently transmitted through visual association marks to reveal which folders each type of file is distributed in and What kind of files each folder contains; further, the visual association mark has an interactive function. By interacting with the visual association mark, you can get files of the same category from the folders that contain the same kind of files without going to the Obtaining files separately in each folder simplifies the operation of obtaining files and improves the efficiency of obtaining files, especially as the number of folders increases, the efficiency advantage of this method of obtaining files will become more obvious.

Before explaining the embodiments of the present application, the "folder" in the embodiments of the present application is explained first. In the embodiments of the present application, a "folder" is a broad concept, which is a management unit for storing and managing files, and each folder corresponds to a certain storage space. In addition, in different scenarios, a "folder" may have different names. For example, in a database system, a unit for storing and managing files is called a "file group". Whether it is a "folder" in a common computer device or a "file group" in a database system, both belong to the "folder" described in the embodiments of the present application.

In addition, the execution body of the embodiment of the present application may be a computer device, and the computer device may be a terminal device such as a desktop computer, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a smart phone, a wearable device, etc., or a conventional server, a cloud server, a cloud host, or a virtual center. , server arrays and other server devices, and may also be virtual machines (VMs), containers (Docker), etc. deployed in various server devices or terminal devices. The computer device is responsible for managing several folders, and these folders may be stored in a local storage medium of the computer device, or may be stored in a remote storage medium. Wherein, at least one file is stored in each folder, and the formats of these files may be the same or different. These files may include, but are not limited to, one or more of plain text files, image files, executable files, and the like.

FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a file acquisition method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 1, the method includes:

101. Acquire multiple folders to be searched, where the multiple folders are located in the same directory.

102. According to the categories of the files in the multiple folders, generate a visual association mark between folders containing files of the same type; wherein each type of file corresponds to a visual association mark.

103. Acquire files of the same category from folders containing files of the same type in response to an operation on the visual association mark between folders containing files of the same type.

In this embodiment, the computer device can acquire multiple folders to be searched. Optionally, the computer device may receive a search requirement submitted by a user, and the search requirement carries folder identification information. The folder identification information may include, but is not limited to, some characters of the folder name, the creation date of the folder, the latest modification date of the folder, the type and size of the folder, and other information. If the search requirement includes part of the characters in the folder name, the computer device can obtain multiple folders whose names include the part of the characters as the folders to be searched. For another example, if the creation date of the folder is included in the search request, the computer device may acquire multiple folders created on the creation date as the folders to be searched. That is, the computer device may determine multiple folders to be searched according to the folder identification information in the search requirement.

In this embodiment, optionally, multiple folders to be searched are required to be located in the same directory. Optionally, if multiple folders are originally in the same directory, no processing is required; if multiple folders are scattered in different directories, multiple folders can be copied to the same directory. The "same directory" here can be the directory where some folders are located, or the parent directory to which the directories where multiple folders are located, or a newly created directory. For a computer device, after multiple folders to be searched are determined, it can be determined whether each folder is in the same directory in combination with the maintained hierarchical relationship between the folders.

For example, if some of the multiple folders to be searched are subfolders under the A folder under the D drive, and another part of the folders are subfolders under the B folder under the D drive, you can set the B The subfolder under the folder is copied to the A folder as a subfolder of the folder to be searched, and the subfolder of the A folder can also be copied to the B folder as a subfolder of the folder to be searched, or the A folder and the B folder can be copied. The subfolders of the folder below the folder to be searched are copied to the D drive. You can also create a C folder under the D drive, and the A folder and the B folder will be used as the subfolders of the to-be-searched folder. are copied to the C folder, so that the multiple folders to be searched are located in the same directory.

As can be seen from the above, in the scenario of hierarchical management of folders, the multiple folders to be searched may include folders located in the same directory, or may include folders located in different directories. That is, the levels of the multiple folders to be searched may be the same or different.

Regardless of whether the multiple files to be searched are originally in the same directory, in this embodiment, multiple folders are required to be located in the same directory, so that multiple folders can be viewed simultaneously in the directory. Based on this, visual association markers can be generated between folders containing files of the same type based on the categories of files in multiple folders. It is worth noting that a folder containing similar files is generally two or more folders. In addition, the number of types of files of the same type contained in the two folders may be one type, or two types or more than two types. Among them, each type of file corresponds to a visual associated marker. If the number of categories of the same type of files contained in the two folders is one type, a visual association mark can be added between the two folders; if the number of categories of the same type of files contained in the two folders is two types Or two or more types, two or more visual association marks can be added between the two folders. A visual association marker between two folders that contains the same number of categories of files of the same type.

In this embodiment, the style of the visual association mark is not limited, and all visual mark styles are applicable to the embodiments of the present application. For the specific style of the association mark, refer to the examples given in the subsequent embodiments. In addition to the visualization feature, the association mark in this embodiment can also identify which files of the same type exist in which folders and which types of files exist. Further, the associated mark in this embodiment also has directivity and interaction functions. Wherein, the directivity means that the association mark can point to the corresponding category of files in the associated folders. Interactivity refers to allowing the user to perform interactive operations on the associated tags, and the interactive operation here mainly refers to the operation of obtaining certain types of files located in multiple folders issued by the user through the associated tags. For a computer device, files of the same category may be retrieved from folders containing files of the same type in response to user manipulation of a visual association marker between folders containing files of the same type.

In this embodiment, the files in multiple folders are classified, and the folders containing files of the same type are transparently transmitted through a visual association mark to reveal which folders each type of file is distributed in and which categories each folder contains. and other information; further, the visual association mark has an interactive function. By interacting with the visual association mark, the files of the same category can be obtained from the folders containing the same type of files, without the need to obtain each folder separately. file, which simplifies the operation of obtaining the file and improves the efficiency of obtaining the file. In particular, as the number of folders increases, the efficiency advantage of this file acquisition method will become more obvious.

FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of another file acquisition method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 2, the method includes:

201. Acquire multiple folders to be searched, where the multiple folders are located in the same directory.

202. Perform category marking on files in multiple folders; wherein the same or similar files have the same category marking.

203. Add a visual association mark corresponding to the same category mark between folders containing the same category mark according to the category marks of the files in the multiple folders; wherein, one kind of category mark corresponds to one kind of visual association mark .

204. Acquire files of the same category from the folders containing the same category tags in response to the operation on the visual association tags between the folders containing the same category tags.

In this embodiment, after acquiring the multiple folders to be searched, the files in the multiple folders are marked with a category, and a category mark is added to each file, and the same or similar files have the same category mark. According to different application scenarios, "same" or "similar" between files may have different definitions, which can be defined adaptively according to application requirements. Optionally, whether the files are the same or similar may be defined according to the content of the files. For example, if the content of the two files is the same or the similarity is greater than the set similarity threshold, the two files may be defined as the same or similar, otherwise, the two files may be defined as different and dissimilar. Optionally, whether the files are identical or similar can be defined according to the creation time of the files. For example, if the creation time of the two files is the same or the time difference is less than the set time difference threshold, the two files can be defined to be the same or similar, otherwise, the two files are defined to be different and not similar. Optionally, whether the files are the same or similar may be defined according to the application to which the files belong. For example, if two files belong to the same application or the same category of applications, it can be defined that the two files are the same or similar; otherwise, the two files are defined to be different and not similar.

After classifying the files in each folder, it is possible to identify folders that contain the same class label according to the class labels of the files in each folder, and between the identified folders that contain the same class label Adds the associated tag for the visualization corresponding to the category tag.

It is worth noting that if two folders contain the same category mark, a visual association mark is added between the two folders; if two or more types of labels are contained between the two folders For the same category tag, add two or more visual association tags between the two folders. Each visual associated tag corresponds to a category tag, that is, corresponds to a category of files. In turn, files of the same category may be retrieved from folders containing files of the same type in response to manipulation of the visual association markers between folders containing files of the same type.

In this embodiment, after obtaining the multiple folders to be searched, the files in the multiple folders can be classified as needed, and it is not necessary to classify the files in all the folders in advance. The file storage process has no impact, is compatible with existing file storage methods, and can be applied to file management scenarios using existing file storage methods.

The following describes the file acquisition process of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 with reference to the folder state diagrams shown in FIG. 3a-FIG. 3f.

Referring to Figure 3a, the computer device obtains 4 folders according to the folder identification information in the search requirement, namely folder 1, folder 2, folder 3 and folder 4, and needs to be obtained from these 4 folders at the same time Multiple similar files. As shown in Figure 3a, these 4 folders are located in the same directory.

Referring to FIG. 3b, the computer device can open the folder 1 in response to the user's operation of opening the folder 1; in the folder 1, the files in the folder 1 are classified according to the definition of similar files. In Figure 3b, there are 3 types of similar files, which are marked with circles, squares and triangles respectively, and the same type of similar files are marked with the same category. Similarly, folder 2, folder 3, and folder 4 can be opened, and the files in them can be classified according to the definition of similar files. For the convenience of description and distinction, the file categories represented by circles, squares and triangles are referred to as the first category, the second category and the third category, respectively. It is worth noting that the definitions of similar files are the same for folders 1, 2, 3, and 4, and the same category tags are used for similar files. For example, if there are files of the first type in folders 2, 3 and 4, the first type of files in folders 2, 3 and 4 are also marked with a circle; if there are files of the second type in folders 2, 3 and 4 files, the second type of files in folders 2, 3, and 4 are also marked with squares, and so on. In addition, as shown in Fig. 3b, in the same folder, the number of files of the same type may be one or multiple.

In this embodiment, the following assumptions are made: Folders 1-4 all contain files of the first category, and the category mark of the first category of files is a circle; folders 1-3 all contain files of the second category, The file's category marker is a square; folders 1, 3, and 4 contain a third category of files whose category marker is a triangle. Based on this assumption, continue to refer to Figure 3c.

Referring to Figure 3c, because folders 1-4 all contain the first type of files, and the category mark of the first type of file is a circle, so add an association mark corresponding to the circle mark between folders 1-4, that is, the real line; and because folders 1-3 all contain the second type of file, the category mark of the second type of file is a square, so add the association mark corresponding to the square mark between the folders 1-3, that is, the dash type Dotted line; for the same reason, because folders 1, 3, and 4 all contain files of the third type, and the category mark of the third type of file is a triangle, the associated mark corresponding to the triangle is added between folders 1, 3, and 4. That is, a dotted line. Among them, the dotted lines of the solid line, the dashed line and the dotted line are all displayed, which achieves the effect of visualization.

It should be noted that folders connected by the above-mentioned solid line, dashed dashed line, or dotted dashed line contain the same category mark. As shown in Figure 3c, there are both solid and dashed dashed lines between folders 1 and 2 and between folders 2 and 3, which means that folders 1, 2 and 3 all contain the first category files and the second type of files; similarly, there are both solid and dotted lines between folders 1 and 3 and between folders 3 and 4, which means that folders 1, 3 and 4 all contain the first Class I files and Class III files.

The solid line, the dashed line of the dash type or the dashed line of the dot type in Fig. 3c all have interactive functions. When a user needs to acquire a certain type of files from folders 1-4 at the same time, a file acquisition operation can be issued through the associated tag corresponding to this type of file. For example, as shown in Figure 3d, the user can select the solid line and drag it, then the computer device can copy or clip all the first type files contained in folders 1, 2 and 3 and place them on the target corresponding to the drag operation position, as shown in Figures 3e and 3f.

Optionally, as shown in FIG. 3f, after the user completes the file acquisition operation, the association marks between the folders may be hidden or disappeared, but not limited thereto. In addition, the user can hide the association marks between folders by setting the operation of hiding the association marks. Of course, the user can also display the associated markers between the folders by setting the operation of displaying the associated markers.

As can be seen from the above, the user only needs to click and drag the solid line to obtain multiple first-type files contained in folders 1, 2 and 3 at the same time, namely files 1, 2, 9, 10 and 11, without the need to Folders 1, 2, and 3 are opened one by one to obtain the first type of files contained therefrom, and the operation is simpler and more efficient.

In the file acquisition method provided by the embodiment of the present application, in addition to classifying the files in the multiple folders after acquiring the multiple folders to be searched, other methods can also be used, for example, in the storage file In the process, the files are marked with categories in advance, and then the file acquisition operation is performed based on the existing category marks of each file.

FIG. 4a is a schematic flowchart of still another file acquisition method provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 4a, the method includes:

401. When storing files in the maintained folder, perform category marking on the stored files, wherein the same or similar files have the same category marking.

402. When files need to be obtained from multiple folders, obtain multiple folders to be searched from the maintained folders, and the multiple folders are located in the same directory.

403. Add a visual association mark corresponding to the same category mark between folders containing the same category mark according to the category marks of the files in the multiple folders; wherein, one kind of category mark corresponds to one kind of visual association mark .

404. Acquire files of the same category from the folders containing the same category tags in response to the operation on the visual association tags between the folders containing the same category tags.

In this embodiment, the computer device maintains folders, and the number of the maintained folders is multiple. Wherein, step 401 describes the process of marking the stored files by category in the process of storing files in each maintained folder. Steps 402 to 404 describe the process of acquiring files of the same type from multiple folders at one time on the basis of step 401 by adding a visual association mark between folders containing the same category mark.

In this embodiment, in the process of storing files in the folders, the files are classified in advance, so that when multiple files of the same type need to be acquired from multiple folders, there is no need to further classify the files in the multiple folders. It is helpful to further simplify the file acquisition operation and improve the file acquisition efficiency by tagging the files by category.

It should be noted that, in the previous embodiment, multiple folders are required to be located in the same directory, the purpose is to simultaneously see multiple folders and the associated marks between the folders in the same directory, which is convenient for display and user operations. But not limited to this. For example, multiple folders can also be located in different directories. In this case, through a certain display method, for example, multiple folders can be mapped into virtual folders, and multiple mapped folders can be displayed simultaneously through one virtual directory. Virtual folders allow users to see multiple virtual folders and associated marks between virtual folders at the same time, and operate multiple folders through the associated marks between virtual folders. Of course, the virtual folder and the virtual directory are only an exemplary implementation, and any method that allows the user to see the association marks between multiple folders and obtain the same files from the multiple folders through the association marks are all applicable. applicable to the embodiments of the present application. In addition, in the previous embodiment, each type of file corresponds to one type of visual association mark as an example for description, but the number of visual association marks corresponding to each type of file is not actually limited. For example, each type of file can also use A variety of visual associated markers, as long as the associated markers used by different types of files can be distinguished from each other.

Based on the above analysis, an embodiment of the present application also provides a method for acquiring a file, as shown in FIG. 4b, the method includes the following steps:

41. Obtain multiple folders to be searched.

42. According to the categories of files in multiple folders, generate visual association markers between folders containing files of the same type.

43. Obtaining files of the same category from folders containing files of the same type in response to an operation on the visual association markers between folders containing files of the same type.

The embodiment described in FIG. 4b is similar to the previous embodiment, the difference is that: the embodiment shown in FIG. 4b does not limit whether multiple folders are located in the same directory, and does not specify the visual association mark corresponding to each type of file. The number is limited. For this part of the content, please refer to the previous paragraph, and will not repeat them here. In addition, for other content in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4b, reference may be made to the foregoing embodiment, and details are not described herein again.

In each of the above-mentioned embodiments, whether after acquiring the multiple folders, classifying the files in the multiple folders, or before acquiring the multiple folders, classifying the files in the process of storing the files in the folders Marking, the process of categorizing files is the same or similar, the only difference is the scope of the files being marked. In the following, after obtaining multiple folders, classifying the files in the multiple folders is used as an example to illustrate the manner of classifying the files.

Way 1: Add the same color to the same or similar files existing in multiple folders to categorize files in multiple folders. In Mode 1, the categories of files are mainly distinguished by color, the files of the same category are marked with the same color, and the files of different categories are marked with different colors.

In Mode 1, the specific marking method is not limited, and any marking method that can classify files by color is applicable to the embodiment of the present application. According to the different objects to be colored, the following is an example of the specific marking method of Mode 1:

Mode 1.1: Render the icons of the same or similar files existing in multiple folders into the same color, so as to classify the files in multiple folders. Combined with the folders shown in Figures 3a-3f and the files in the folders, assuming that folders 1, 2, and 3 contain the same or similar files, which are files 1, 2, 9, 10, and 11, respectively, then the The icons for files 1, 2, 9, 10, and 11 are rendered in the same color, such as red, to indicate that the five files belong to the same class of files. In addition, in folder 1, files 3 and 4 belong to the second category of files, then the icons of files 3 and 4 can be rendered into the same color, such as green, to indicate that the two files belong to the same category of files; similarly, In file 1, files 5 and 6 belong to the third type of files, then the icons of files 5 and 6 can be rendered into the same color, such as yellow, to indicate that the two files belong to the same type of files.

Mode 1.2: Render the names of the same or similar files existing in multiple folders into the same color to categorize files in multiple folders. Here "rendering the names of the same or similar files into the same color" can mean setting the font color of the names of the same or similar files to the same color, or adding the same color to the names of the same or similar files background color.

Mode 1.3: The icons and names of the same or similar files existing in multiple folders are rendered into the same color, so as to classify the files in multiple folders. In the above methods 1.1 and 1.2, either the icons of the same or similar files are rendered into the same color, or the names of the same or similar files are rendered into the same color. In mode 1.3, the icons of the same or similar files and Names are rendered in the same color.

Way 2: Add the same tag to the same or similar files existing in multiple folders to categorize files in multiple folders. In Mode 2, the categories of files are mainly distinguished by tags, the same category of files are marked with the same tag, and the files of different categories are marked with different tags.

In Mode 2, attributes such as the marking position, form, and style of the tag are not limited, and any marking method that can classify files by tags is applicable to the embodiment of the present application. According to the different labeling objects and labeling forms, the following is an example of the specific labeling method of Mode 2:

Method 2.1: Add the same graphic near the names of the same or similar files existing in multiple folders to categorize the files in multiple folders. In mode 2.1, the label is realized in the form of graphics. Wherein, the "same graphics" here may refer to the graphics having the same shape, the graphics having the same color, or the graphics having the same shape and color. Additionally, "near the name" may be an area relatively close to the file name, such as to the left, right, above, or below the name. Combined with the folders shown in Figures 3a-3f and the files in the folders, assuming that folders 1, 2, and 3 contain the same or similar files, which are files 1, 2, 9, 10, and 11, respectively, then the Add circular marks to the left of the names of files 1, 2, 9, 10, and 11. As shown in Figure 3b, in folder 1, files 1 and 2 belong to the first category of files, and a circle mark is added to the left of the names of files 1 and 2; files 3 and 4 belong to the second category of files, and the A square mark is added to the left of the name of 4; files 5 and 6 belong to the third category of documents, and a triangle mark is added to the left of the name of files 5 and 6. In addition, it should be noted that the shapes corresponding to the same files are not only the same in shape, but also in the same color. For example, in Fig. 3b, the circles are of the same color, for example, all are red; the squares are also of the same color, for example, all of green; and the triangles are also of the same color, for example, all of yellow.

Method 2.2: Add the same corner mark to the icons of the same or similar files existing in multiple folders, so as to mark the files in the multiple folders as categories. In Mode 2.2, the label is implemented in the form of a corner label. Optionally, numerical superscripts may be used, and for the same or similar files, the same numbers are used as superscripts. In addition, the superscript can also be an image or a graphic, and for the same or similar files, the same image and graphic are used as the superscript. Optionally, the position of the corner mark may be the upper left corner, the upper right corner, the lower left corner or the lower right corner of the icon, and of course it may also be other areas except the corners.

Way 2.3: Add the same image near the names of the same or similar files existing in multiple folders to categorize files in multiple folders. In Mode 2.3, the label is implemented in the form of an image. For files of the same class, you can add the same image near the names of these files to indicate that the files belong to the same class of files. For files of different categories, add different images near the names of these files to indicate that the files belong to different categories. "Near name" can be an area that is relatively close to the file name, such as to the left, right, above, or below the name.

It is worth noting that the above methods 2.1-2.3 can be used alone or in combination in any manner.

Way 3: Add the same suffix to the same or similar files existing in multiple folders to categorize files in multiple folders. In Mode 3, the categories of files are mainly distinguished by suffixes, files of the same category are marked with the same suffix, and files of different categories are marked with different suffixes. In Mode 3, the form of the suffix is not limited, and can be set flexibly according to requirements. Any suffix form that does not affect the normal opening and use of the file is applicable to the embodiments of the present application.

Method 4: Add the same outline to the icons of the same or similar files existing in multiple folders to categorize the files in multiple folders. In Mode 4, the categories of files are mainly distinguished by the outer frame, the same type of files are marked with the same outer frame, and the files of different categories are marked with different outer frames. Here, the "same outer frame" may mean that the shape of the outer frame is the same, the color of the outer frame may be the same, or the shape and color of the outer frame may be the same. The shape of the outer frame can be but not limited to: circle, square, rhombus, triangle, pentagon and so on. With reference to Figure 3a-3f, assuming that the first type of file can use a circular frame, then a circular frame can be added to the icons of files 1 and 2; the second type of file uses a square frame, then files 3 and 4 can be used. The icon of file 5 and 6 can add a square outline; the third type of file uses a triangle outline, and you can add a triangle outline to the icons of files 5 and 6.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned methods 1-4 can be used alone or in any combination.

In the above embodiments, it is necessary to add a visual association mark corresponding to the same category mark between folders containing the same category mark. Among them, a category marker corresponds to a visual association marker. There is no limitation on the corresponding relationship between the association mark and the category mark and the specific style of the association mark. The following is an example of the visual association markup:

Method a. Identify folders containing the same category tag according to the category tags of files in multiple folders, and add a connection line corresponding to the same category tag between the folders containing the same category tag. Different category tags correspond to different connection line. Generally speaking, there are multiple folders containing the same category mark. Of course, there may also be one folder. The embodiments of the present application focus on using multiple folders as an example for description.

As shown in Figure 3c, folders 1, 2, 3, and 4 all contain the first type of files. The category mark used by the first type of file is a circle, and the associated mark corresponding to the circle of the category mark is represented by a solid line. Solid lines are added between folders 1, 2, 3, and 4. In addition, folders 1, 2 and 3 all contain the second type of files, the category mark used by the second type of file is a square, and the associated mark corresponding to the category mark square is a short-line dashed line. A dashed line with a short line is added between. Folders 1, 3, and 4 all contain the third type of files. The category mark used by the third type of file is a triangle, and the associated mark corresponding to the category mark triangle is represented by a dotted line, then in folders 1, 3 and 4 Add a dotted line.

It can be seen from the above that, for any two folders, the two folders may contain one type of category mark, and may also be multiple types. In the case where two folders contain multiple category tags together, add an association tag corresponding to each category tag between the two folders. As shown in Figure 3c, between folders 1 and 2, an association mark corresponding to the category mark circle (ie, a solid line), an association mark corresponding to the category mark square (ie, a short-line dashed line), and a category mark triangle corresponding to associated markers (ie, dotted lines).

Mode b. Identify folders containing the same category tags according to the category tags of files in multiple folders, and add tags corresponding to the same category tags to the folders containing the same category tags, and different category tags correspond to different categories. Label.

In mode b, attributes such as labeling position, form, and style are not limited, and any labeling method that can associate folders containing the same or similar files through labels is applicable to the embodiment of the present application. According to the different labeling objects and label forms, the following is an example of the specific labeling method of mode b:

Mode b.1: Identify folders containing the same category mark according to the category marks of the files in the multiple folders, and add a corner mark corresponding to the same category mark on the icons of the folders containing the same category mark.

In mode b.1, the label is implemented in the form of an angle label. Optionally, digital superscripts, or images or graphics may be used as superscripts. The position of the corner mark may be the upper left corner, the upper right corner, the lower left corner or the lower right corner of the icon, and of course it may also be other areas except the corners. Among them, for different folders containing the same category mark, their icons will have the same corner mark. For a folder that contains multiple category tags, its icon will have multiple different corner tags.

Mode b.2: Identify folders containing the same category tags according to the category tags of files in multiple folders, and add graphics corresponding to the same category tags near the names of the folders containing the same category tags.

In mode b.2, the label is realized in the form of graphics. Wherein, one category mark corresponds to one kind of the same graphics, and the "same graphics" here may refer to the graphics having the same shape, the graphics having the same color, or the graphics having the same shape and color. Additionally, "near the name" may be an area relatively close to the file name, such as to the left, right, above, or below the name. Here, different folders that contain the same category tag will have the same graphic near their name. A folder that contains more than one category tag will have several different graphics near its name.

Mode b.3: Identify folders containing the same category tag according to the category tags of the files in the multiple folders, and images corresponding to the same category tag are located near the names of the folders containing the same category tag.

In mode b.3, the label is implemented in the form of an image. One class label corresponds to one image. "Near name" can be an area that is relatively close to the file name, such as to the left, right, above, or below the name. Here, different folders that contain the same category tag will have the same image near their name. A folder that contains multiple category tags will have multiple different images near the name.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned methods b.1-b.3 may be used alone or in any combination. Similarly, the above methods a and b can also be used alone or in combination.

Either way, after generating visual association markers between folders containing files of the same type, users can issue file-fetching operations through these interactive association markers. Considering that there may be multiple association tags between folders containing the same kind of files, for the convenience of description and distinction, the association tags that users need to operate are called target association tags, and the target association tags can be between folders containing similar files. An associated marker for any visualization that exists. Based on this, the user needs to perform a selection operation on the target association marker, select the target association marker, and then drag the target association marker until the target association marker is dragged to the target position and then release the target association marker. Wherein, the target location may be a certain location under the directory where the multiple folders are located, that is, the location to which the files of the corresponding category of the target association mark need to be moved. Wherein, the user's selection operation on the target associated mark may include but is not limited to: single click, double click, touch, mouse hover or long press, and the like. For the computer device, in response to the selection operation of the target association mark between the folders containing the files of the same kind, the files of the category corresponding to the target association mark can be selected from the folder containing the files of the same kind; The operation of dragging the associated marker to the target location will copy or paste the selected files in the folder containing the same files to the target location. It is worth noting that the copy method or the cut-and-paste method can be flexibly set according to the application requirements. If you need to keep these files in the original folder, you can use the copy method; if you don't need to keep these files in the original folder, you can use the cut-and-paste method.

It is worth noting that selecting the target association mark first, and then dragging the target association mark is an operation method to simultaneously obtain multiple files of the corresponding category of the target association mark from multiple folders containing the target association mark based on the target association mark. , not limited to this. For example, the user can also only perform an interactive operation with the target associated marker, for example, the target associated marker can be clicked, double-clicked or touched, and the computer device can respond to the single-click, double-click or touch operation of the target associated marker, from including the target associated marker. In the folder of similar files, select the files of the corresponding category associated with the target and copy or paste the selected files to the specified location. The designated location may be preset by the user, or may be the default location in the system.

Further, in order to improve the flexibility of the embodiments of the present application in the use process, in some optional embodiments of the present application, a setting function is provided for the user, allowing the user to hide or display the visual associated markers. In this way, after generating the visual association mark, if the user does not need to use the visual association mark to obtain multiple files of the same category from multiple folders at the same time, the user can issue the operation of setting the hidden association mark through the setting function, then the computer The device may hide the visual association marks between folders containing the same category marks in response to the user setting the operation of hiding the association marks. Of course, when the user needs to simultaneously obtain multiple files of the same category from multiple folders based on the visualized association marks, the setting function can also be used to issue an operation of setting and displaying the association marks, and the computer device can display the association marks in response to the user's setting. action to display the visual association tags between folders that contain tags of the same category.

Going a step further, after fetching a file of the desired category as needed, the category tag on the file can be retained or removed. Optionally, if the category tag on the file only needs to be used once and is no longer used in the future, it can be deleted; on the contrary, if the category tag on the file may be reused, it can be retained to avoid subsequent repeated use of the file. Category tagging to save resources.

According to the difference in product implementation of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present application, the implementation form of the above-mentioned setting function provided for the user will also be different, which will not be described in detail.

In one application scenario, there are multiple drive letters on the user's personal computer, each drive letter corresponds to several folders on the hard disk, and the user's personal photos and family photos are scattered in multiple folders. The names all contain the word "personal". In order to organize the storage space on the computer, users want to store their personal photos and family photos on an external mobile hard disk. As shown in Figure 5a, the user can use the search function on the computer to search for all folders containing the word "personal" in the name, and these folders will appear in the search result directory. It's worth noting that not all of these folders contain the user's personal or family photos. Also, to simplify the description, it is assumed that the files in the image format contained in these folders are only the user's personal photos and family photos. Then, the user marks the files in these folders by category, and marks the files in the image format and the files in the non-image format. After the category mark is completed, the computer will automatically identify the category mark contained in each folder, and add the corresponding visual association mark between the folders containing the same category mark. The user selects the associated tag corresponding to the file in the image format and drags the associated tag to the drive letter where the mobile hard disk is located. on the mobile hard disk. For users, only need to perform the above simple operations without entering each folder one by one, which can improve the efficiency of photo migration.

In another application scenario, a large number of files are stored in the database P1, and these files are scattered in different file groups according to file types. In order to provide more abundant and flexible data query and storage services to the outside world, it is necessary to migrate some files under the applications App ₁ to App _k from the database P1 to the database P2, and the database P2 provides data queries for these applications M ₁ to M _k . and storage services, where k is a positive integer representing the number of applications. This requires identifying files under applications App ₁ -App _k from a large number of file groups, migrating these files from database P1 to database P2, and storing these files on database P2 according to the application dimension. If the existing method is adopted, the user needs to filter multiple times in each file group, filter out the files under each application, migrate the files under each application to the database P2, and store these files from the application dimension. Cumbersome and inefficient. As shown in Fig. 5b, using the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, the files in each file group are classified according to the application to which the file belongs, and then a visual image is generated between these file groups containing files of the same application. Association mark; the user selects the association mark corresponding to each application in App ₁ -App _k and drags the selected association mark, the files belonging to each application in App ₁ -App _k can be combined from multiple file groups Migrate to database P2 and store in the file group corresponding to the corresponding application on database P2, so that files under each application can be quickly and efficiently migrated to database P2 and the purpose of storing and managing files from the application dimension is achieved.

It is worth noting that, in the foregoing embodiment, the technical solution of the present application is described by taking the acquisition of files of the same category from multiple folders as an example, but the technical solution of the present application can not only be used to obtain files of the same category from multiple folders.

In addition, the number of categories of records of the same type contained in the two databases may be one category, or two categories or more than two categories. Among them, different types of records correspond to different visual association markers. In addition to the visualization feature, the association mark in this embodiment can also identify which records of the same type exist in the database and which type of records are. Further, the associated mark in this embodiment also has directivity and interaction functions. Wherein, the directivity means that the association mark can point to the records of the corresponding category in each database to which it is associated. Interactivity refers to allowing the user to perform interactive operations on the associated markers, and the interactive operations here mainly refer to the operations issued by the user through the associated markers to obtain certain types of records located in multiple databases. For a computer device, records of the same category may be retrieved from a database containing records of the same type in response to user manipulation of a visual association marker between the databases containing records of the same type.

It is worth noting that the style of the association mark, the way of adding the association mark, and the category mark related to the record are the same as or similar to the foregoing embodiments, and reference may be made to the descriptions of the foregoing embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

In this embodiment, records in multiple databases are classified, and information such as which databases each type of records is distributed in and which types of records each database contains are transparently transmitted between databases containing records of the same type through a visual association mark ;Further, the visual association mark has an interactive function. By interacting with the visual association mark, the records of the same category can be obtained from the database containing the same type of records, without the need to obtain records from each database separately, which simplifies the acquisition of records. operation, which improves the efficiency of obtaining records. In particular, as the number of databases increases, the efficiency advantage of this record acquisition method will become more obvious.
