Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of this disclosure relate to the field of computer technology, and more specifically to an online editing method, apparatus, electronic device, and computer-readable medium based on a virtual desktop architecture. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing development of the internet, the demand for remote collaboration in the workplace is growing. In recent years, collaborative office systems have proliferated, with tools such as online spreadsheets, online documents, and video conferencing greatly facilitating remote collaboration. However, current tools and environments mostly only support online collaboration and editing capabilities for OA (Office Automation) software. They lack effective solutions for other software and work files, such as model files generated by 3D modeling software. Currently, there is no complete solution to this problem. Existing solutions either ignore the specific need or, in a SaaS environment, require users to manually download the model file, launch and open the 3D modeling software on their local computer, load the model file, edit it, and then upload the file back to the SaaS system.

[0003] While this solution achieves some of the goals indirectly, it presents several problems: 1. Users need to download model files locally, raising data security concerns and consuming significant computer storage space; 2. The variety of model file types necessitates the installation of various corresponding 3D modeling software on the user's computer. These software programs are numerous and generally have high hardware requirements, placing stringent demands on the user's computer software environment. Most 3D modeling software licenses are highly dependent on computer equipment; if a user changes devices, they need to transfer large amounts of model file data and repeatedly purchase and install the corresponding software; 3. The user operation is cumbersome, the process is lengthy and error-prone, resulting in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The summary portion of this disclosure is intended to provide a brief overview of the concepts, which will be described in detail in the detailed description portion.

[0020] This disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] refer to Figure 1The diagram illustrates a flow 100 of some embodiments of an online editing method based on a virtual desktop architecture according to the present disclosure. This online editing method based on a virtual desktop architecture includes the following steps:

[0022] Step 101: In response to detecting a user's request to select a target file in the virtual desktop architecture, mount a temporary disk in the virtual desktop architecture.

[0023] In some embodiments, in response to detecting a user's selection request for a target file in a virtual desktop architecture, the execution entity (e.g., a server) of the online editing method based on the virtual desktop architecture can mount a temporary disk in the virtual desktop architecture.

[0024] It is understood that online editing methods based on virtual desktop architecture can be executed by terminal devices or by servers. The executing entity of these methods can also include devices formed by integrating the terminal devices and servers via a network, or various software programs. Terminal devices can be various electronic devices with information processing capabilities, including but not limited to smartphones, tablets, e-book readers, laptops, and desktop computers. The executing entity can also be a server or software. When the executing entity is software, it can be installed on the aforementioned electronic devices. It can be implemented as multiple software programs or software modules to provide distributed services, or as a single software program or software module; no specific limitations are made here.

[0025] Specifically, the aforementioned virtual desktop architecture typically refers to Virtual Desktop Infrastructure. The target files mentioned above are usually used to represent the files selected by the user.

[0026] In some alternative implementations of some embodiments, in response to detecting a user's selection request for a target file in the virtual desktop architecture, the user is authenticated based on the selection request; in response to determining that the user has been authenticated, a temporary disk is mounted in the virtual desktop architecture.

[0027] As an example, the aforementioned execution entity can mount a temporary disk using the SMB protocol.

[0028] Step 102: Obtain the target file from the target database according to the above selection request, and put the target file into the temporary disk.

[0029] In some embodiments, the target file is obtained from the target database according to the selection request and placed in the temporary disk.

[0030] In some optional implementations of certain embodiments, based on the selection request described above, it is detected whether a temporary file identical to the target file exists on the temporary disk; in response to detecting a temporary file on the temporary disk, the target file version information of the target file and the temporary file version information of the temporary file in the target database are determined; in response to determining that the target file version information and the temporary file version information are inconsistent, the target file is obtained from the target database to replace the temporary file. Specifically, the target database typically refers to a Distributed File System (DFS).

[0031] Step 103: Determine the target application from the virtual desktop architecture based on the target file, and load the target file through the target application in the virtual desktop architecture.

[0032] In some embodiments, a target application is determined from the virtual desktop architecture based on the target file, and the target file is loaded in the virtual desktop architecture via the target application.

[0033] Specifically, the aforementioned target application typically refers to a virtual application pre-configured within the aforementioned virtual desktop architecture. This target application corresponds to an application capable of loading or opening the aforementioned target file.

[0034] In some optional implementations of some embodiments, in response to detecting a user closing the target application in the virtual desktop architecture, the target file in the temporary disk is detected; in response to detecting that the target file is inconsistent with the target file in the target database, the target file in the temporary disk is used as a modified file; a version log of the target file is generated and the target file in the target database is updated using the modified file.

[0035] Specifically, the version log typically includes a record of version changes for the target file, including: modification time, the user who performed the modification, and the file version history. As an example, the file version history could be a historical modified file of the target file (the historical modified file is used to replace the target file). As yet another example, the file version history could also be a thumbnail of a historical modified file.

[0036] In some optional implementations of some embodiments, in response to determining that the target file is placed in the temporary disk, the target file in the target database is locked; in response to detecting a selection request for the target file by another user in the virtual desktop architecture, a lock prompt interface is displayed.

[0037] Specifically, the aforementioned lock prompt interface includes a lock prompt and an unlock control. In response to other users' unlocking operations on the unlock control in the aforementioned lock prompt interface, the aforementioned execution entity can also close and save the temporary files of the aforementioned users in the target application; update the target file using the temporary files; and load the aforementioned target file for other users in the aforementioned virtual desktop architecture through the target application corresponding to the aforementioned target file.

[0038] One embodiment of the above-described embodiments of this disclosure has the following beneficial effects: it solves the problem that users cannot or are inconvenient to edit files on the Web. This method can be used in any business system without relying on computer configuration and computer applications. It only requires virtual software in a virtual desktop architecture to edit various files, thereby saving users' computer configuration and storage costs. In addition, users do not need to rely on mobile storage devices for data transfer, nor do they need to purchase various software. As long as users have network access, they can manage, create, edit, delete, etc., files through a browser anywhere, greatly reducing the software environment requirements of users' local computers.

[0039] It should be noted that the above embodiments are all implemented within the aforementioned virtual desktop architecture.
