AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, users need to manually filter and delete images that are only used for a short period of time. This process is cumbersome and prone to accidentally deleting important images. Furthermore, it lacks intelligent image routing and automatic cleanup mechanisms.
By differentiating the storage attributes of images, they are categorized and stored in temporary or permanent storage areas, and an automated timed cleanup mechanism is introduced to achieve intelligent management and automated cleanup of images.
It reduces the user's workload, optimizes storage space utilization, and improves the efficiency of image management and user experience.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of data processing and human-computer interaction technology, specifically to a method, system, and electronic device for image splitting and temporary album management. Background Technology
[0002] With the widespread adoption of smart electronic devices, the number of photos taken and saved by users through mobile phones, tablets, and other devices has increased exponentially. Existing photo album management methods typically store all photos uniformly in the system album, lacking differentiated management based on the intended use of each image. When users have a large number of short-term photos (such as screenshots, temporary documents, shopping receipts, etc.), these images are mixed with permanently saved photos, leading to two technical problems: first, users need to manually filter and delete expired images one by one, a tedious and inefficient process; second, manual cleanup can easily result in the accidental deletion of important images, leading to a poor user experience. Current technology does not provide a solution that can intelligently distribute and store images according to their temporary or permanent nature, and automatically clean them up after a preset time. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention aims to solve the aforementioned problems in the prior art and provides a method, system, and electronic device for image distribution and temporary management. By differentiating the storage attributes of images and introducing an automated, timed cleanup mechanism, this invention achieves intelligent image classification and management, reduces the user's operational burden, and optimizes the storage space utilization of electronic devices.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A method for image distribution and temporary management includes the following steps: in response to a user's first operation command on a target image, the target image is categorized and stored in a preset temporary storage area or a permanent storage area; a timer is configured for the image stored in the temporary storage area, and the timer is set based on a preset cleanup duration; when the timer reaches the cleanup duration, the corresponding image is automatically removed from the temporary storage area; in response to a user's second operation command on an image in the temporary storage area, the remaining storage duration of the image is adjusted or it is transferred to the permanent storage area.
[0005] Furthermore, the method also includes: displaying image lists for temporary storage and permanent storage on the user interface respectively; and displaying images removed from the temporary storage area in the cleaned-up record area.
[0006] Furthermore, the method also includes: in response to the user's setting operation on the temporary storage area, receiving the default cleanup duration set by the user; when the user adds a new image to the temporary storage, configuring the default cleanup duration for the image.
[0007] Furthermore, the step of adjusting the remaining storage time of an image in response to a second operation command from the user for an image in the temporary storage area includes: receiving an extension operation command from the user for a specific temporary image; resetting the timer corresponding to the image and increasing the preset extension time.
[0008] Furthermore, the method also includes: displaying the remaining storage time of the image on the interface when the user views the temporary image.
[0009] Accordingly, the present invention also provides an image distribution and temporary management system, comprising: a storage module for classifying and storing target images into a temporary storage area or a permanent storage area according to user instructions; a timing module for configuring and timing the images in the temporary storage area; a cleaning module for automatically removing the corresponding images from the temporary storage area when the timer reaches a preset cleaning duration; and an interaction module for receiving user operation instructions and displaying corresponding interface information.
[0010] Accordingly, the present invention also provides an electronic device, including a processor and a memory, wherein the memory stores a computer program, and the processor executes the computer program to implement the steps of any of the methods described above. Attached Figure Description
