Example Embodiment

[0019] In order to facilitate users to browse or manage stored multimedia files, a data type called metadata is first provided. The metadata is used to indicate related information of the multimedia file rather than the data of the multimedia file itself, wherein the related information is used to index or introduce the multimedia file in detail, so that the multimedia file can be effectively managed. The main feature of metadata is that it can flexibly and dynamically add, erase and replace the attributes of metadata according to the current needs of users.

[0020] In one embodiment of the present invention, metadata for the multimedia file may be established when the multimedia file is generated. Or after the multimedia file is generated, metadata is generated or modified. The generated metadata can be stored in header files or reserved sections of multimedia files, such as JPEG EXIF ​​header files. Alternatively, the metadata may be stored as a metadata file, and linking...

Abstract

The invention discloses methods and electronic devices for browsing, managing and storing multimedia files. The multimedia file has a plurality of pieces of attribute information for indicating corresponding characteristics of the multimedia file. The method for browsing the multimedia files comprises the following steps of: providing a browser comprising a user interface, wherein the user interface has a plurality of levels of hierarchical menus, each menu comprises at least one menu icon representative of a group of multimedia files with the same attribute information, and each menu icon can open the next menu or open and play a target multimedia file; if the menu icon for opening and playing the target multimedia file is started, playing the target multimedia file; and dynamically modifying, adding or deleting the attribute information according to the needs of a user. By the methods and the electronic devices, the user can effectively manage the multimedia files and easily browse the multimedia files, and in addition, can more easily store the multimedia files into the electronic devices.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for browsing and managing multimedia files, and more particularly, relates to a method and an electronic device for browsing and managing multimedia files with a dynamic attribute data structure. Background technique [0002] Currently, a large number of browsing technologies have been applied to various portable electronic products, such as digital cameras, mobile phones or portable media players (such as MP3 players). Taking a digital camera as an example, when a user uses a digital camera to take pictures of Mount Fuji, the traditional digital camera indexes the photos through a timestamp. The timestamp can indicate the time information when the pictures were taken or the order in which the pictures were taken. Also, traditional digital cameras store photos and time-stamp indexes in memory. Afterwards, when the user wants to browse the photos, he can browse the photos by searching the index on the tradition...
