Method and system for producing file list on portable electronic device

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for generating a file list on a portable electronic device, comprising: step A) accessing at least one application or at least one file that can be opened by the application, and the application and the The file is opened via a first opening method or a second opening method; step B) writing the access records about each of the application programs and each of the files into a file list, and each of the access records Including the times of access and the ways of opening each of the applications and files; step C) when the times of access and the ways of opening of the applications and files meet a predetermined condition, the sorting the access records of the application programs and the files in the file list; and step D) displaying at least a part of the sorted file list on the screen of the portable electronic device. Produces better file listings and opens files more quickly and accurately.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method and system for generating a file list, in particular to a method and system capable of generating a file list on a portable electronic device for users to quickly select and open files. Background technique [0002] Various files (batch files, file files, executable files...) in general computers are stored in a tree-like hierarchical structure, so that users can classify different types of files , sorting, but with the increase of users or the increasing number of related files of the application program, it often takes a while to quickly and correctly find the desired files in the directory layer by layer. Words are quite inconvenient. [0003] In view of this, in the operating system of Windows system, refer to figure 1 , at the "File" of the "Start" menu, a so-called recently used file set (recently used files) will be generated, as shown by the arrow, that is, the files that the user has recently opened will be ...

[0005] However, as far as portable electronic devices are concerned, such as palmtop computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), mobile phones, etc., operating systems (such as window CE, palm OS) do not have built-in functions similar to "recently used file sets" or " Recently, the design of "file collection" is most commonly used. Due to the limited screen area of ​​portable electronic devices, users need to select multiple times, or even move the screen and look up and down to select the desired file. Take a handheld computer as an example. , the screen resolution has 240×240, 320×240, 320×320 and other modes. As far as the 320×240 mode is concerned, only about 12 files can be displayed on one screen. If the file is not in the menu, you may need to View three to five screens to find the desired file

[0006] In addition, due to the lightness, thinness, shortness, and smallness of portable electronic devices, their operation methods are also different from ordinary computers, and they cannot select and open files according to the mouse and keyboard.
