Media File Management via User-Defined Label Mapping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inefficiencies in managing large quantities of multimedia files on intelligent terminals, as existing retrieval methods, such as folder organization by date or file name, do not provide meaningful categorization or searching capabilities, leading to low media file management efficiency.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device provides a method to edit file information and mapping relationships for media files, allowing users to categorize and search based on user-defined labels and categories, and monitors specific applications, folders, or media file types for efficient management, avoiding unnecessary analysis and resource consumption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If multimedia files are sorted based on file creation date sequence or file name sequence in folders, then the files can be automatically organized, but the user cannot quickly find desired files and browsing becomes meaningless for understanding scenarios
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments file organization into multiple dimensions: traditional folder structure based on creation date is maintained, while adding user-defined tags and categories as separate organizational layers. This allows files to be divided and classified according to different criteria simultaneously, enabling both automatic organization and meaningful user-based retrieval without requiring a complete system overhaul
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces user-defined tags and categories as intermediary elements between the file system and the user. These tags act as mediators that connect files to user-specific classification systems, enabling efficient browsing by serving as intermediate indexes that bridge the gap between automatic file sorting and user understanding of scenarios
2Loss of information
If all multimedia files are analyzed and processed by the electronic device, then comprehensive file information can be obtained, but processing time increases and resource consumption rises
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by selectively processing only certain files or file attributes rather than analyzing all multimedia files comprehensively. The system extracts essential information from files while leaving detailed analysis for on-demand operations, reducing overall processing time while maintaining necessary information quality for file management operations
3Reliability
If the electronic device monitors all saved media files globally, then complete file tracking is achieved, but resource consumption and processing overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements local quality by applying different monitoring strategies to different files or file types. Rather than uniformly monitoring all media files with the same intensity, the system adjusts monitoring depth and frequency based on file characteristics, user preferences, and importance, thereby maintaining complete tracking reliability while optimizing resource allocation to match actual needs

AI summary
An electronic device receives a first user operation, where the first user operation is for saving a first media file; the electronic device displays a first window for the first media file based on the first user operation, where the first window is for providing a manner of editing file information of the first media file; the electronic device receives the file information of the first media file; and the electronic device saves the first media file, the file information, and a mapping relationship between the first media file and the file information.
