Home Screen File Card for Fast Access to Nested Files
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulty in quickly and accurately finding files stored in nested folders due to complex default paths, especially when using third-party applications, leading to poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
A file management method that displays a home screen card with file icons, allowing users to directly access frequently used files without navigating through storage paths, and includes a file addition floating ball for easy file addition to the card.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If files are stored in nested folders with deep default paths, then file organization and storage capacity are improved, but user accessibility and search efficiency deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the file access process by creating a home screen card that displays file icons directly on the home screen, separating frequently accessed files from the deep folder structure. This allows users to access files through the card interface without navigating through nested folders, thus maintaining storage organization while improving accessibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The home screen card acts as an intermediary between the user and the deep folder structure. Instead of directly accessing files through complex paths, users interact with the card interface which mediates file access, simplifying the operation while preserving the underlying storage hierarchy.
2Stability of the object's composition
If default file paths are deep with multiple nested folders, then file organization structure is improved, but user search time and operational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-selecting and displaying frequently accessed files on the home screen card. Users don't need to search through nested folders; the files are already prepared and visible on the card, reducing search time while maintaining the stable folder structure in the background.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a traditional file manager interface is used, then comprehensive file management capability is provided, but user experience and operation simplicity deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing different interfaces for different needs: the home screen card provides a simplified view for frequent files with large icons and direct access, while the full file manager remains available for comprehensive management tasks. Each interface has optimized qualities for its specific purpose.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adapts between two modes: a simplified card-based interface for quick access to frequent files, and the complete file manager interface for comprehensive management. The interface transitions smoothly between these states based on user interaction, providing appropriate complexity at the right moment.

AI summary
This application provides a file management method, a device, and a storage medium. In the method, a file frequently used by a user is added to a display card on a home screen for management, so that the user does not need to search a file management application step by step based on a storage path, and can directly tap a corresponding file icon on the home screen to open the file that the user wants to view. This is convenient and fast, and greatly improves user experience.
