Directory Calling Identifier for File Traversal
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing directory traversal solutions in file systems lack efficient differentiation between terminal requests, leading to complex directory calling data structures and poor traversal performance due to the inability to distinguish between traversal requests from different terminals.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that utilize a directory calling identifier to uniquely represent terminals, allowing for differentiated management and maintenance of directory entries by parsing directory traversal requests and sending specific directory entries to terminals, thereby optimizing directory traversal performance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If directory traversal requests from different terminals are not differentiated, then the system can maintain a simple processing mechanism, but the directory traversal performance deteriorates due to inability to optimize for specific terminal requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments directory traversal requests by introducing terminal-specific directory calling identifiers, allowing the system to divide and manage traversal operations for different terminals separately. This enables optimized processing paths for each terminal while maintaining overall system organization through the unified identifier mechanism.
2Loss of substance
If the system uses a unified directory calling mechanism for all terminals, then the data structure remains simple, but storage resource consumption increases due to redundant data maintenance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses directory calling identifiers as lightweight copies or references that uniquely represent terminal-directory relationships without duplicating entire terminal states or directory structures. This reference-based approach reduces storage overhead while enabling efficient terminal-specific directory entry management.
3Productivity
If the system implements fine-grained management of directory entries per terminal, then directory traversal performance improves, but the complexity of data structures increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces directory calling identifiers as intermediary elements that mediate between terminals and directory entries. These identifiers serve as a simplified interface layer that enables fine-grained terminal-specific directory management without directly exposing the complexity of underlying data structures to either terminals or the core file system management logic.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present application disclose a file directory traversal method, apparatus, device, and medium, and relate to the field of file system processing technology and cloud computing. The method may include: receiving a current directory traversal request of a terminal for a target directory; determining a directory calling identifier of the terminal by parsing the current directory traversal request; wherein, the directory calling identifier is used for uniquely representing the terminal under the target directory; determining a directory entry currently requested to be called by the terminal under the target directory, according to the current directory traversal request; and sending the determined directory entry to the terminal in accordance with the directory calling identifier.
