[0027] In the embodiments of the present application, the term "plurality" refers to two or more than two, and other quantifiers are similar.

[0028] The following is a detailed description of the file merging method provided by the embodiment of the present application through some embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The file merging method provided by the embodiment of the present application is executed by an electronic device, and the electronic device mentioned in the embodiment of the present application includes but is not limited to a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a computer, a wearable device, etc.

[0029] Figure 1 The following is a flowchart of a method for merging files provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method for merging files includes the following steps:

[0030] Step 100: When the triggering condition for file merging is met, a file merging page is displayed, and recommended files and link structures are displayed on the file merging page;

[0031] It is understandable that, when the triggering condition for file merging is met, the file merging function is triggered, the file merging page is entered, and the recommended files and link structure are displayed on the file merging page.

[0032] The recommended files are files that can be merged and are recommended by the electronic device.

[0033] The link structure refers to the structure required for merging files. Optionally, the link structure is a tree structure, including at least one node. By default, there is only one root node, and the user can choose to add child nodes, or add sibling nodes to non-root nodes. Long press a node to select the target file. You can also drag files from the recommended files to the node. Optionally, the link structure includes a root node and multiple child nodes, where the child node can also be a forked node. A forked node can connect several sub-links. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a link structure provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0034] The file merging page is a page that can realize the file merging function.

[0035] Optionally, the file merging in the embodiment of the present application refers to linking files with an associated relationship through a pointer linked list, and therefore, the file merging page may also be referred to as a pointer linking page.

[0036] Optionally, the triggering condition for satisfying file merging includes at least one of the following:

[0037] Receiving a first preset operation on a target file;

[0038] The number of times the second preset operation is performed on the target object in the preset time period exceeds the first preset threshold;

[0039] The number of newly added files of the same type and with similar file names in the target application exceeds a second preset threshold;

[0040] Optionally, the electronic device receives a first preset operation on the target file, and the first preset operation includes a long press operation. In the folder where the target file is located, long press the target file, and a merge file function option will appear. The user selects merge file to enter the file merge page.

[0041] It should be noted that the first preset operation may also be other operations that can cause the merge file function option to appear.

[0042] Optionally, the second preset operation includes a screenshot, a screenshot, or a photo operation. When the electronic device detects that the number of second preset operations performed on the target object in the preset time period exceeds the first preset threshold, the file merging function is triggered and the file merging page is entered. For example, when the electronic device detects that the user has taken more than two screenshots or photos in a row in a certain period of time, a prompt message appears to remind the user that the same type of files obtained by continuous screenshots, screenshots, or photos can be merged, and the user enters the file merging page after selecting confirmation.

[0043] Optionally, when the electronic device detects that the number of newly added files of the same type and similar file names in the target application exceeds a second preset threshold, the file merging function is triggered and the file merging page is entered. For example, when a user receives multiple pictures at one time, a prompt message appears to remind the user that they can be merged, and the user enters the file merging page after selecting confirmation.

[0044] Optionally, the recommended file is determined according to source information of the target file, a file of the target object obtained based on the second preset operation, or a newly added file of the same type and similar file name in the target application.

[0045] Optionally, the electronic device recommends files having the same source information as the target file, for example, recommends files originating from the same target application.

[0046] Optionally, the electronic device uses the file of the target object obtained based on the second preset operation as a recommended file, for example, uses images obtained by continuous screenshots, screenshots or photos taken by the user over a period of time as recommended files.

[0047] Optionally, the electronic device recommends newly added files of the same type and similar file names in the target application, for example, recommends multiple pictures received by the user at one time, wherein the similarity of the file names refers to the degree of similarity between the file names exceeding a third preset threshold.

[0048] Step 101: Receive a first input from a user regarding the recommended file and link structure.

[0049] Optionally, the first input includes at least one of the following:

[0050] An operation of selecting at least one file among the recommended files and dragging the at least one file to a child node of the link structure;

[0051] An operation of adding a description to at least one sub-link at a bifurcation node of the link structure;

[0052] An operation of performing a third preset operation on a node in the link structure and selecting at least one file from the recommended files or through a file manager portal;

[0053] Optionally, after entering the file merging page, recommended files and link structures will be displayed, and the user will be prompted to select at least one of the recommended files and drag the at least one file to a child node of the link structure, thereby filling the link structure with files.

[0054] Optionally, the user may perform a third preset operation on any node in the link structure. For example, the third preset operation may be a long press operation, and select a file from the recommended files or through a file manager portal to add it to the node.

[0055] Optionally, the user can add a description for at least one sub-link at the bifurcation node of the link structure. Taking the screenshot tutorial of stock account opening as an example, there are 2 sub-links after the information is submitted. The user can fill in the two sub-links at this bifurcation point: click this node if the review is successful; click this node if the review fails. The bifurcation node is a blank page when browsing, and the above two descriptions are displayed separately. Clicking different descriptions will lead the user to different branches.

[0056] Step 102: Generate a link file in response to the first input, wherein the link file is generated after updating the link structure based on the recommendation file.

[0057] It is understandable that the link construction of the link file in the embodiment of the present application is completed by the user adding tree nodes, the nodes are files, and the relationship between the nodes is the link relationship between the files. It should be noted that the user formulates the pictures required for this file merger by selecting or dragging on the file merger page, and can adjust the order of the front and back by dragging each picture item. After the user completes the relevant operations, the electronic device generates a link file.

[0058] Optionally, the link file is stored in a file manager.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present application, when the triggering conditions for file merging are met, a file merging page is displayed, and recommended files and a link structure are displayed on the file merging page; a first input from a user regarding the recommended files and the link structure is received, and a link file is generated in response to the first input, thereby merging similar files with an association relationship or a continuity relationship into one file, which can greatly shorten the time required to find files and improve file search efficiency.

[0060] Optionally, the method further comprises:

[0061] Hide the source files corresponding to the files in the link file.

[0062] It is understandable that the files selected by the user can be linked together through the pointer, and after the linking is completed, only the linked pointer file is displayed to the user, and the source file is selectively hidden. In this way, the user can use the file more concisely and clearly in the future.

[0063] Optionally, an operation of selecting a file in the link file by a user is received, and the file selected by the user is displayed as a link entry icon of the link file.

[0064] Optionally, when the triggering condition for file merging is met, before displaying the file merging page, the method further includes:

[0065] The files and their source information are stored in a globally linked database or data table.

[0066] Optionally, when saving a file through a third-party application, downloading and saving a file through other software, saving a screenshot file, etc., the source information of the file is also saved, such as a chat contact, a software download page, etc. The file and the source information of the file are saved in a global link database or data table in the form of an association relationship. Based on this global link database or data table, the file can be linked to the source page, and the source page can also be linked to the file.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, by establishing a global link database or data table, similar files with association or continuity relationships are merged into one file, which can greatly shorten the time required for finding files and improve file search efficiency.

[0068] Optionally, the method further comprises at least one of the following:

[0069] In a case where a page of an application operated by a user has a record in a global link database or a data table, receiving a first click operation on a link file displayed in a floating manner on the page of the application operated by the user, and displaying a file in the link file in response to the first click operation;

[0070] receiving a second click operation on the icon of the link file, and displaying the file in the link file in response to the second click operation;

[0071] receiving a third click operation on a child node in the link file, and displaying a file corresponding to the child node in response to the third click operation;

[0072] receiving a fourth click operation on a forked node in the link file, and displaying descriptions of different paths corresponding to the forked node in response to the fourth click operation;

[0073] A fifth click operation on the path at the forked node is received, and in response to the fifth click operation, files on the path corresponding to the fifth click operation are displayed.

[0074] Optionally, after the link file is generated, the electronic device receives a user input on the link file, and displays a file in the link file in response to the input.

[0075] Optionally, the user clicks the icon of the link file, the electronic device receives a second click operation on the icon of the link file by the user, and displays the file in the link file in response to the second click operation;

[0077] Optionally, the user clicks on the forked node in the link file, and the electronic device receives a fourth click operation on the forked node in the link file by the user, and in response to the fourth click operation, displays descriptions of different paths corresponding to the forked node;

[0078] Optionally, the user clicks on a path of a forked node, and the electronic device receives a fifth click operation of the user on the path at the forked node, and in response to the fifth click operation, displays the file on the path corresponding to the fifth click operation.

[0079] Optionally, in the case that a page of an application operated by a user has a record in a global link database or a data table, the user clicks on an operation of a link file displayed in a floating manner on the page of the application operated by the user.

[0080] It is understood that there are several ways to browse linked files:

[0081] In the case that a page of an application operated by a user has a record in the global link database or data table, the user can click on a link file displayed in a floating manner on the page of the application operated by the user to enter a preview page.

[0082] Optionally, the user directly enters the link file and performs a click operation to browse or preview the link file, including:

[0083] Click on the icon of the link file;

[0084] Click on the file at the forked node in the link file;

[0085] Click on the path at the fork node in the link file;

[0086] Click on the file at the child node in the link file.

Figure 3As shown, the user can slide to zoom in and out of the file, so that the user can preview the entire linked file without clicking on each individual file. The user can click on a node to enter the file corresponding to the node, and can click on the file to enter the next node. When entering a fork, the instructions of the two paths are displayed, and different instructions are clicked to enter different paths.

[0088] In the embodiment of the present application, by receiving the user's input on the link file and displaying the file in the link file corresponding to the input, the time required for finding the file can be greatly shortened and the efficiency of file browsing can be improved.

[0089] Optionally, the method further comprises at least one of the following:

[0090] receiving a second input of the link file from a user, and sending the link file in response to the second input;

[0091] receiving an operation of sharing a file corresponding to a node in a link structure corresponding to the link file, or an operation of sharing files corresponding to the node and all child nodes of the node, and sending the file;

[0092] An operation of sharing a file corresponding to a link in a link structure corresponding to the link file is received, and the file corresponding to the link is sent.

[0093] Optionally, users can share the linked file.

[0094] Optionally, the user shares the entire link file. The electronic device receives a second input from the user on the link file, and sends the link file in response to the second input;

[0095] Optionally, the user shares a file corresponding to a node in the link structure corresponding to the link file, or shares files corresponding to the node and all child nodes of the node. The electronic device receives the operation of sharing a file corresponding to a node in the link structure corresponding to the link file, and sends the file corresponding to the node.

[0096] Alternatively, the electronic device performs a sharing operation on the files corresponding to the node and all the child nodes of the node, and sends the files corresponding to the node and all the child nodes of the node.

[0097] Optionally, the user shares a file corresponding to a link in the link structure corresponding to the link file, and the electronic device receives an operation of sharing a file corresponding to a link in the link structure corresponding to the link file, and sends the file corresponding to the link.

[0098] Optionally, the electronic device receives an operation for selecting a sharing method, and in response to the operation, sends the relevant file in the sharing method.

[0099] Optionally, the user can directly share the file in the file manager in the same way as sending a normal file. When sharing, you can choose to send it as a PDF or original file. The PDF content is the same as the preview.

[0100] When previewing, users can long press a node to share it. When sharing, they can choose whether to send the files corresponding to all child nodes of the node together, and then choose whether to send it as PDF or original file type.

[0101] When there are too many links and the user only wants to send a certain link, he can slide to select the mode (which can be entered by clicking an option), then draw a curve along the path he wants to send, and then click Share. When sharing, the files corresponding to all covered nodes can be sent.

[0102] In the embodiment of the present application, by receiving the user's sharing input for the link file and sending the related link file in response to the sharing input, the time required for finding the file can be greatly shortened and the file sharing efficiency can be improved.

[0103] Optionally, the file in the embodiment of the present application can be a picture or a video, or other types of files. Take the file as an example of a video. When saving a video through a third-party application, downloading and saving a video through other software, saving a screen recording file, etc., the source information of the video is saved at the same time, such as the chat contacts of the third-party application, the download page of the software, etc. The source information and the video information are saved in a global link database or data table in the form of an association relationship. Through this database or data table, you can link to the source page through the video, and you can also link to the video through the source page. The production of video file links receives the user's first input of the recommended video and the link structure, and generates a link video in response to the first input; when the user browses the linked video, a GIF picture can be displayed at the node, the video content can be dynamically displayed, and the video playback page can be clicked to enter the video playback page. After the playback is completed, the next node of the link can be automatically played, that is, the effect of synthesizing multiple videos into a single video in a certain order can be achieved in a fast way.
