File Management Device Presuming Naming Rules
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing file management systems lack an efficient method to automatically assign meaningful and consistent file names to data files based on their content and context within folders, leading to disorganization and difficulty in file retrieval.
Innovation Solution
A file management device and method that analyzes data files, presumes naming rules based on file names and attributes, and assigns file names according to these rules, using a database to register and apply naming rules to folders, enabling automatic and context-based file naming.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual file naming is used, then file names can be customized according to user preference, but it requires significant user intervention and time
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically analyzes file contents and generates appropriate file names without requiring user intervention. The file management device extracts keywords from file data, references naming rules from the database, and autonomously assigns file names, allowing the system to serve itself rather than relying on manual user input
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-registers multiple naming rules in the database before actual file naming occurs. These naming rules are prepared in advance based on file types, folders, and content characteristics, so that when files need naming, the appropriate rules are already available for immediate application, eliminating the need for real-time decision-making by users
2Productivity
If automatic file naming is implemented, then file naming efficiency is improved, but consistency and meaningfulness of file names may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates user feedback into the naming process. When users manually modify automatically generated file names, the system learns from these corrections and adjusts future automatic naming decisions. This feedback mechanism ensures that automatically named files maintain consistency with user preferences and organizational standards while preserving the efficiency benefits of automation
Solution Approach 2:
The system extracts meaningful keywords and characteristics from file contents, metadata, and contextual information. By separating the essential naming elements from the overall file data, the system can generate consistent and meaningful file names that reflect the actual content and purpose of each file, rather than using generic or random names
3Adaptability or versatility
If naming rules are stored in a database, then file naming becomes systematic and reusable, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The database structure is designed to store naming rules that can be universally applied across multiple file types, folders, and scenarios. A single naming rule entry can serve multiple purposes by referencing different file type groups, folder hierarchies, and content characteristics, allowing the same database structure to handle diverse naming requirements without requiring separate storage mechanisms for each case
Data Source
AI summary
The present invention provides a file management device that makes it possible to assign a file name according to a user's preference. There is provided a file management device includes: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and the processor configured to: presume a naming rule of the file names based on file names of data files present in a folder; register the naming rule, presumed by the rule presuming section, in a rule storages section in association with the folder; and assign a file name to a data file according to a naming rule associated with a folder in which the data file is present among the naming rules stored in the rule storage section.
