Description

Storage Processing Method, Device and Terminal Technical Field 5 The present disclosure relates to communication field, and in particular to a storage processing method, device and terminal. Background Many terminal manufacturers develop on Android system due to open source 10 nature of Android, such that for the storage of a terminal (for example, a mobile phone), the mobile phone virtualizes a part of storage space as an internal memory card by using a built-in Flash, and adds mount points in the peripheral to support a T card inserted by users as an external memory card. However, the original design of the Android system, the users is not allowed 15 to insert the external memory card for extension, namely there is a mode without external storage mode, since the capacity of its Flash reaches 16G or more which generally can meet user needs, but its drawback is higher purchase cost, and when the storage space is full, the capacity of the mobile phone is not able to be extended any more. That is to say, when capacity of the internal memory card is too high, 20 this will directly increase the purchase cost of users; and when its capacity is not too high and the internal memory card is a main memory card, namely the internal memory card is preferred, many applications will be stored in the internal memory card, thereby resulting insufficient space. In a mobile phone supporting the external memory card, users are allowed to 25 insert the external memory card. In order to reduce cost of the mobile phone, the Flash with lower capacity is used, users themselves can consider whether to add the external memory card. When adding the external memory card, there exists a problem that whether the internal memory card or the external memory card is preferred. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a storage structure for that the internal 30 memory card is preferred in the related art, and as shown in Fig. 1, when the internal 1 PN50368 memory card is preferred, because the Flash itself has not a bigger capacity, this easily causes insufficient space for the internal memory card, and many applications are not able to be installed in the mobile phone; Fig.2 is a schematic diagram of a storage structure for that the external memory card is preferred in the related art, 5 and as shown in Fig.2, when the external memory card is preferred, the capacity of the mobile phone will be extended extremely, but after the external memory card is removed, many installed applications are not able to work normally. However, in the solution of that the external memory card is preferred, after the external memory card is removed and when a third party application is being 10 installed or accessing data, the Andriod standard API(s) will be called so as to obtain the existing state of the main memory card, and when the main memory card does not exist, this will cause the function abnormal or unusable, thereby displaying a pop-up tip to inform users. Therefore when the external memory card is the main memory card, namely the external memory card is preferred, serious problems 15 might occur due to the nonexistence of the external memory card caused by that the external memory card is uninstallable. Therefore, there exists a problem of lack of storage space in the related art when a terminal does not use the external memory card, and a third party application is not able to be used normally when the external memory card 20 originally used by the terminal is removed, thus affecting the user experience.

It should be noted that the embodiments and the characteristics of the embodiments can be 15 combined with each other if no conflict is caused. In the embodiment, a storage processing method is provided, and Fig.3 is a flowchart of the storage processing method according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, and as shown in Fig.3 the flowchart comprises the following steps: 20 step S302, a storage space of an internal memory card of a terminal with a storage space of an external memory card are integrated into one unified storage space; step S304, the terminal storage processing is performed according to the integrated unified storage space. 25 Compared to a fact in the related art that the internal memory card and the external memory card can only be used separately, through the above steps, the storage space of the internal memory card of the terminal with the storage space of the external memory card are integrated into one unified storage space, not only solves a problem in the related art that there is a lack of storage space in the related 30 art when a terminal does not use the external memory card, and a third party 7 PN50368 application is not able to be used normally when the external memory card originally used by the terminal is removed, thus affecting the user experience, but also this operation is simple, to a certain degree increases the storage capacity of the main memory card of the terminal, and improves the use experience of the user. 5 The storage space of the internal memory card of a terminal with the storage space of the external memory card are integrated into the unified storage space can be implemented by using the following method: a same file storage path for the internal memory card and the external memory card is established; the storage space of the internal memory card with the storage space of the external memory card are 10 integrated into the unified storage space according to the same file storage path. In this way, the files under the folders with a same file name in the internal memory card and the external memory card may be integrated into one unified folder, and this provides great convenience for users to find files; when finding a file, the users only needs to check in the file under the integrated unified folder that it belongs to, 15 not needing checking it respectively in the internal memory card and the external memory card. There are many processing methods for performing the terminal storage processing according to the integrated unified storage space, for example in one method, when the size of a file to be stored exceeds the size of the storage space of 20 the internal memory card, the file to be stored is needed to be stored in the external memory card, and when the size of the file to be stored does not exceed the size of the storage space of the internal memory card, the file to be stored is stored just in the internal memory card. Thus the file to be stored is stored preferentially in the internal memory card, which ensures that the stored file can also be used normally 25 when there is no external memory card. When there is not enough storage space in the internal memory card, the file is stored automatically to the external memory card, and the case that the file is not able to be stored due to a lack of internal storage space will not occur. Because this process is completed automatically within the terminal without the manual operation of the user, not only some 30 unnecessary troubles are reduced for users, but also the problem of storing files is 8 PN50368 solved conveniently and quickly. As another example, performing the terminal storage processing according to the integrated unified storage space can also be: a memory card that is able to integrally store a file to be stored is determined; the file to be stored is stored into 5 the determined memory card. This not only ensures the integrity of the file to be stored, but also after knowing the size of the file to be stored, the terminal will assign storage location for the file to be stored based on the size of the file to be stored, and the file to be stored can be stored in one of the internal memory card and the external memory card which has enough storage space, and when the storage 10 space of the both memory cards are enough, the storage location can be assigned at random, which may ensure the uniform distribution between the storage spaces of the internal memory card and the external memory card, so as to avoid the case that one memory card has more storage content but the other one has less storage content, thereby increasing the running speed and improving the user experience. 15 For another example, performing the terminal storage processing according to the integrated unified storage space can further be: whether a ratio of the remaining storage space of the internal memory card to the remaining storage space of the external memory card is less than a predefined value is judged; when a judgment result is that the ratio of the remaining storage space of the internal memory card to 20 the remaining storage space of the external memory card is less than the predefined value, a file to be stored is stored into the internal memory card; when the judgment result is that the ratio of the remaining storage space of the internal memory card to the remaining storage space of the external memory card is not less than the predefined value, the file to be stored is stored into the external memory card. The 25 predefined value can be defined in advance, and can also be generated by the system according to a ratio of the size of the storage space of the internal memory card and the size of the storage space of the external memory card, and because the storage spaces of the internal memory card and the external memory card for each terminal are different, the predefined value is not uniquely determined. In this 30 method, the size of the remaining storage spaces in the internal memory card and 9 PN50368 the external memory card can also be adjusted appropriately to avoid an extreme storage distribution between the two cards, thereby balancing the remaining storage spaces of the two cards. In another aspect, performing the terminal storage processing according to the 5 integrated unified storage space can also be: the proportions of the storage space of the internal memory card and the external memory card to the unified storage space are determined; the file to be stored is stored according to the determined proportions. In this way, the file to be stored can be divided into two parts for storage, with one part of the file to be stored being placed in the internal memory 10 card and the remaining part being placed in the external memory card. Some files needing a larger storage space can be stored in two memory card, which relieves the pressure on the internal memory card and external memory card, and also plays a positive role in well running of the terminal, thereby improving the user experience. In this embodiment, a storage processing device is further provided, and the 15 device is used for realizing the above embodiments and example implementations, which are already stated and will not be described in detail.

Regardless of whether there exists the 15 external memory card or not, it gives to users an effect that there exists a memory card, and solves a focused problem in the market that a third party application is not able to be used when the external memory card is used as a main memory card and the external memory card undergoes the hot-plugging actions, thereby greatly improving the efficiency and experience of using the memory card for users. 20 Aiming at the drawbacks in the related art on setting that the internal memory card is preferred or the external memory card is preferred in a terminal (mobile phone) storage, a total solution for the mobile phone storage is provided in this embodiment. The embodiment of the present disclosure refers to the mobile phone storage under Android platform, and the content in the external memory card is 25 seamlessly integrated into the whole mobile phone storage. Because these two storage spaces are completely consistent logically, the internal and external memory cards can be combined into one memory card logically, such that only one storage space is always present to the user when the user browses by the mobile phone or the computer. When the user inserts an external T card, the storage space can be 30 increased automatically, while the user removes the external T card, the storage 13 PN50368 space can be reduced automatically. Fig.11 is a storage structure diagram according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and as shown in Fig.11, the main memory card is in the existing state all the time, and the internal memory card and the external memory card are integrated. The installing of applications are 5 protected from whether the external memory card is inserted or not, thereby finally realizing whether to extend the mobile phone storage or not is controlled by the users, and improving the user experience. In the method for extending adaptively the storage of the mobile phone provided in this embodiment, only one storage space is displayed on the interface, 10 regardless of the computer side or mobile phone side, thereby avoiding a fact that the internal memory card and the external memory card are displayed when the user browses from the computer side or the mobile phone side, which resulting that the user does not know in which of the internal memory card and the external memory card he can find a file; when checking the capacity of the mobile phone, only the 15 sum of capacity of the internal and the external memory cards is displayed; and when checking files on a file manager, only one peripheral exists. Files under the same paths in the internal memory card and the external memory card will be externally displayed together under one path, and files under different paths will be displayed independently. 20 Moreover, in the method for extending adaptively the storage of the mobile phone, as for the setting of storage content, when a third party application is installed, the folder generated will be placed in the internal memory card, thereby ensuring normal usage of the application without the external memory card; when the size of content of files in the folder of the third party application exceeds a 25 certain size, the folder is recursively copied to the external memory card, with the catalogue and name of the folder being unchanged, and then all files under the folder in the internal memory card are deleted. When other content is written, the other content is placed in the external memory card, such that the storage space in the internal memory card can be saved to the greatest extent, so as to install more 30 applications. However, when free space of a certain memory card is insufficient, 14 PN50368 the storage content will be placed in the other memory card, so as to ensure that a remaining space may be used when there is a remaining space for the integrated storage. It should be noted that, in addition to setting the storage content by using the above solution, other method can also be used to store a file, for example by 5 calculating a ratio of a remaining storage space of the internal memory card to a remaining storage space of the external memory card, and when this ratio is greater than a certain value, the file is stored in the internal memory card, while it is less than the certain value, the file is stored in the external memory card; or a few percent of the file to be stored is placed in the internal memory card, and the 10 remaining of the file is placed in the external memory card, and so on. In the method for extending adaptively for the storage of the mobile phone, during reading and writing the content, when there is a same path catalogue for the internal memory card and the external memory card, the internal memory card and the external memory card are accessed simultaneously, so as to prevent omission 15 during reading and accessing files. At the same time, administrative operations for files are performed according to the above setting of storage content. The method for extending adaptively the storage of the mobile phone, makes a third party application always return true when the application uses API (Application Programming Interface) of Android to access to the main memory 20 card, and which efficiently solves a bottleneck problem that a part of third party applications is not able to be used after the hot-plugging of the external memory card when the external memory card is used as a main memory card in current mid-and-low mobile phones, and therefore has great significance. Through the above embodiments and the example implementations, from the user's point of 25 view, regardless of whether the external memory card is inserted or not, each catalogue path in the file management is unique, but files under a folder is the sum of files under same catalogue of the internal memory card and the external memory card (when the external memory card has been mounted on the mobile phone), thereby making it convenience for the users to find and manage files; the remaining 30 space observed on the mobile phone is the sum of the remain spaces of the internal 15 PN50368 memory card and the external memory card (when the external memory card has been mounted on the mobile phone), this will immensely improve experience of user groups in checking the capacity of memory card and managing files. The example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below 5 in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
