File synchronization method and electronic device using the method

Abstract

A file synchronization method and electronic device are provided. The file synchronization method is applied to an electronic device. An application is installed on the electronic device. Multiple files used for the application are stored in the local memory of the electronic device. The multiple files include the first state of the first state. A file, the electronic device is communicatively coupled with a network storage, the method includes: receiving a first instruction; running the application according to the first instruction, the first file is from The first state is converted into a second state; and the first file in the second state is written to the network storage using the first file system, so that the application installed on another electronic device can be based on all the files in the network storage. Run the first file described above. In the technical solutions of various embodiments of the present invention, application progress can be easily shared and synchronized without user participation, thereby improving the user experience.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of electronic technology, and more specifically, to a method for synchronizing files and an electronic device using the method for synchronizing files. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of mobile Internet and terminal electronic devices, users usually own multiple electronic devices at the same time. For example: a user may simultaneously own multiple portable electronic devices such as a mobile communication terminal, a tablet computer, and a notebook computer. In addition, users typically work on desktop computers at the office and on laptop computers when traveling. [0003] Users install their favorite or required applications on each electronic device, so as to use different electronic devices in different environments. As an example, a user installs the same game application (such as Angry Birds) on a mobile communication terminal and a tablet computer, and installs the same work...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Due to the lack of an effective data sharing mechanism between electronic devices, game progress often cannot be shared and synchronized between multiple devices

This leads to the level that the user may pass in his mobile communication terminal needs to be passed level by level on the tablet computer to continue his desired game progress, which greatly reduces the user experience of switching between electronic devices
