Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 1, a schematic structural diagram of a file sharing system according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The file sharing system includes a first terminal 110, a second terminal 120, and a server 130. The first terminal 110 establishes a connection with the server 130 through a wired network or a wireless network, and the second terminal 120 establishes a connection with the server 130 through a wired network or a wireless network.

The first terminal 110 is a device having a data transceiving function, such as a smart phone. The first terminal 110 has a client installed therein, which is capable of transmitting and receiving files. For example, the client may be an instant messaging client such as a microblog client, a wechat client, a QQ client, a mailbox client, a short message client, and the like, and the file may be a picture, an audio, a video, a document, and the like. Optionally, the client may also be a file processing client, for example, when the file is a picture or audio or video, the client may be an album, a player, or the like; when the file is a document, the client may be a document editor or the like.

The second terminal 120 is a device having a data transceiving function, such as a smart phone. The second terminal 120 has at least one identical client installed in the first terminal 110, and the client in the second terminal 120 and the client in the first terminal 110 can communicate.

The server 130 is a background server of the client, and may be a server or a server cluster formed by multiple servers or a cloud computing center.

In the present invention, the first terminal 110 may share a file to the second terminal 120 through the server 130, and at this time, the number of the second terminal 120 is at least one; the second terminal 120 may also share files to the first terminal 110 through the server 130, in which case, the number of the first terminals 110 is at least one, and only one first terminal 110 and one second terminal 120 are illustrated in fig. 1.

Referring to fig. 2, a flowchart of a file sharing method according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, where the file sharing method may be applied to a client installed in the first terminal 110 shown in fig. 1. The file sharing method comprises the following steps:

step 201, when accessing the wireless local area network, sending the file to be shared to the server.

The Wireless local area network may be a WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) network or the like.

Step 202, receiving a sharing address fed back by the server according to the file, wherein the sharing address is a storage address of the file in the server.

The shared address may be a URL (Uniform Resource Locator), a two-dimensional code, or the like, and the form of the shared address is not limited in this embodiment.

When the client accesses the wireless local area network, the original file and the file name are sent to the server, the server stores the file and sends the storage address of the file to the client as a sharing address, the client reads the file name of the file, and a group of mapping relations are established for the file name and the sharing address in a local mapping table. The server also establishes a set of mapping relationships for the file name and the shared address in the server's mapping table. The mapping table comprises at least one group of mapping relations, and each group of mapping relations comprise the file name of a file and the sharing address of the file.

Step 203, receiving a sharing instruction for instructing to select a file for sharing.

The sharing instructions are for instructing the client to provide a selection entry for the file such that the user can select the file to be shared from the entry.

And step 204, if the mobile data network is currently accessed after the connection with the wireless local area network is disconnected, indicating the server to share the sharing address corresponding to the file name of the file.

The mobile data network may be a 2G (the second Generation) network, a 3G (the third Generation) network, a 4G (the fourth Generation) network, or the like.

When the files are stored in the client and the server, the client can select local files to share, and can also select files in the server to share; when a file in the client is deleted, the client can select a file in the server to share. The process of the client selecting the local file for sharing is as follows: the client selects a local file, searches a sharing address corresponding to the file identifier of the file from a local mapping table, sends the sharing address to the server, and instructs the server to share the sharing address. The process of selecting the file in the server for sharing by the client comprises the following steps: the client selects the file stored in the server, sends the file identifier of the file to the server, and instructs the server to search the sharing address corresponding to the file identifier from the mapping table of the server for sharing.

Optionally, when the client needs to share multiple files, the client shares each file in sequence, and the sharing process of each file is described in detail in the above description, which is not described herein again.

When a file is shared to at least one user, the client also needs to send a user identifier of the at least one user for receiving the file to the server, and the server determines each user according to the user identifier and then sends the shared address to each user; when a file is shared to at least one group, the client also needs to send a group identifier of the at least one group for receiving the file to the server, and the server determines users in each group according to the group identifier and then sends the shared address to each user; when the file is shared to the background space, the server determines each user with the authority of viewing the file, and sends the shared address to each user.

To sum up, in the file sharing method provided in the embodiments of the present invention, when accessing a wireless local area network, a client sends a file to be shared to a server in advance for storage, and receives a shared address of the file in the server, which is fed back by the server, and then, when the client needs to share the file in a process of accessing a mobile data network, the client only needs to instruct the server to share the shared address, and does not need to share the compressed file by using the mobile data network; in addition, the client directly indicates the server to share the sharing address without compressing the file, so that the time consumed by compressing the file can be saved, and the file sharing efficiency is improved; in addition, the client can send the original file to the server in advance, and the quality of the original file is higher than that of the compressed file, so that the quality of the shared file is improved.

Two methods of the client selecting local files for sharing and the client selecting server files for sharing are described below.

Referring to fig. 3, a flowchart of a file sharing method according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown, where the file sharing method can be applied to a client installed in the first terminal 110 shown in fig. 1, and the client selects a local file for sharing. The file sharing method comprises the following steps:

step 301, receiving a setting instruction, selecting a preset file set according to the setting instruction, and sending files which are not sent to a server in the preset file set to the server each time the wireless local area network is accessed.

The setting instruction is used to instruct the client to provide a selection entry of a local file set, so that the user can select the file set from the entry, where the file set selected by the user is referred to as a preset file set in this embodiment. And when the client accesses the wireless local area network, automatically sending files which are not sent to the server in the preset file set to the server. It should be noted that, when the user deletes a file in the preset file set, the file stored in the server is not deleted, and the user can delete the file stored in the server only when logging in the server.

After receiving a setting instruction, the client may display the collection names of all file collections in the terminal in the interface, and when receiving an operation of a user on a certain collection name, determine the file collection corresponding to the collection name as a preset file collection. Alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,

the client can also display the collection names of all file collections in the terminal in the interface, correspondingly display a switch control at the display position of each collection name, and determine the file collection corresponding to the collection name as a preset file collection when receiving the starting operation of a user on the switch control corresponding to a certain collection name; when receiving a closing operation of a user on a switch control corresponding to a certain collection name, not determining the file collection corresponding to the collection name as a preset file collection.

Optionally, the client may also display the collection names of the file collections to which the files with higher sharing probability belong in the interface, so as to reduce the number of the collection names displayed in the interface and improve the efficiency of the user in searching the collection names.

In implementation, please refer to the schematic diagram of the setting interface shown in fig. 4, and if fig. 4 illustrates that a wireless local area network is a WiFi network, please refer to the left diagram of fig. 4, an option of "file backup cloud under WiFi network" is displayed in a "general" interface of the client, and when the user clicks the option, please refer to the right diagram of fig. 4, set names of "photo", "rar file", and "doc file" are displayed in the "file backup cloud under WiFi network" interface of the client, and a switch control is correspondingly displayed on the right side of a row where each set name is located. For convenience of understanding, when the circle in the switch control is located on the right side in fig. 4, it indicates that the corresponding file set is the preset file set; the example that when the circle in the switch control is located on the left side, the corresponding file set is not the preset file set is described, and the preset file set at this time includes a "photo", a "rar file", and a "doc file". Of course, whether the file set is the preset file set may also be represented in other forms, and this embodiment is not limited.

Step 302, when accessing the wireless local area network, sending the file to be shared to the server.

And step 303, receiving a sharing address fed back by the server according to the file, wherein the sharing address is a storage address of the file in the server.

The shared address may be a URL, a two-dimensional code, or the like, and the embodiment does not limit the form of the shared address.

When the client accesses the wireless local area network, the original file and the file name which are not sent to the server in the preset file set are sent to the server, the server stores the file and sends the storage address of the file to the client as a sharing address, the client reads the file name of the file, and a group of mapping relations are established for the file name and the sharing address in a local mapping table. The server also establishes a set of mapping relationships for the file name and the shared address in the server's mapping table. The mapping table comprises at least one group of mapping relations, and each group of mapping relations comprise the file name of a file and the sharing address of the file.

In this embodiment, the file name may be generated directly by the client, or may be modified by the server after being generated by the client. This is because, assuming that the client shares the file a, deletes the file a, and shares the file b, and the file name of the file b is the same as the file name of the file a, the file name in the mapping table corresponds to two sharing addresses, which results in an error in file sharing. Therefore, the file identification distributed by the server is set as the file name, so that the uniqueness of the file name in the mapping table can be ensured, and the accuracy of file sharing is improved. Specifically, the client generates a file identifier for the file, and sets the file identifier as a file name of the file in the server. The server sends the file identification to the client, and the client receives the file identification fed back by the server according to the file; and setting the file identification as the file name of the file.

The determining mode of the client for the file which is not sent to the server in the preset file set is related to the generating mode of the file name, and the determining mode of the file is introduced below.

When the file name is directly generated by the client, the client may record the file name of the file that has been sent to the server in the preset file set, search for the file name that has not been recorded in the preset file set, and determine the file corresponding to the file name as the file that has not been sent to the server. Or, the client may record the time when the file is last sent to the server, search for files added to the preset file set after the time, and determine the files as files that are not sent to the server.

When the file names are generated by the client and modified by the server, the file names of the files which are sent to the server are modified into file identifiers, at this time, the file names of the files are the same as the file names in the mapping table, the client can search the file names which are included in the preset file set and are not included in the mapping table, and the files corresponding to the file names are determined to be the files which are not sent to the server.

In this embodiment, each time the client accesses the wireless lan, steps 302 and 303 may be executed; in addition, the client may perform

steps

302 and 303 multiple times in a process of accessing the wireless local area network once, which is not limited in this embodiment.

For convenience of understanding, the file identifier is taken as an ID for explanation, and it is assumed that the client first sends a file with a file name of 1 to the server, the ID fed back by the server is 8545023, and the sharing address is http:// xx.com/s/8545023. png; the client sends the file with the file name of 2 to the server, the ID fed back by the server is 4568222, and the sharing address is http:// xx.com/s/4568222. png; the client finally sends the file with the file name of 1 to the server, the ID fed back by the server is 6644323, the shared address is http:// xx.com/s/6644323.png, at this time, the mapping table established by the client is as follows, and each row of the mapping table is in a group of mapping relations.

ID	Cloud address
		8545023	http://xx.com/s/8545023.png
4568222	http://xx.com/s/4568222.png
		6644323	http://xx.com/s/6644323.png

Optionally, after receiving the setting instruction, the client may directly display an entry of the file to be shared, so that the client directly sends the file to the server, and then performs step 304.

Step 304, receiving a sharing instruction, displaying a preset file set according to the sharing instruction, and selecting a file from the preset file set.

The sharing instruction is used for instructing the client to provide an entrance of a preset file set, so that a user can select files to be shared from the entrance.

For example, when the file is a picture, the client provides the user with an entry of an album in which the user can select a picture to be shared.

After the client receives the sharing instruction, if the client can only select local files for sharing, the client can directly display a preset file set so that a user can select the preset file set; if the client can select local files to share, and can also select files of the server to share, at this moment, in order to clearly determine where the files need to be selected, the client can also display a first trigger control and a second trigger control after receiving a sharing instruction, when the client receives an operation of a user on the first trigger control, the client confirms that the local file selection instruction is received, and at this moment, a preset file set is displayed; when the client receives the operation of the user on the second trigger control, it is determined that the cloud file selection instruction is received, and at this time, the file in the server is selected for sharing, which is described in detail below.

In step 305, after the connection with the wireless local area network is disconnected, if the currently accessed mobile data network is the mobile data network, query information of whether to share the sharing address of the file is displayed.

The mobile data network may be a 2G network, a 3G network, a 4G network, etc.

When the client currently accesses the mobile data network, the client may directly share the sharing address of the file, i.e., execute step 307; or, in order to embody the friendliness of human-computer interaction, the client may also ask the user whether to share the shared address of the file, so as to save data traffic consumed in the process of sharing the file.

When the method is implemented, the client displays query information of 'whether the query information is sent in a form of a shared address or not on a selection interface of the file, so that data traffic is saved', and displays a 'yes' option and a 'no' option, when an operation of a user on the 'yes' option is received, it is determined that a confirmation instruction is received, and step 306 is executed; and when receiving the operation of the user on the 'no' option, compressing the file, transmitting the compressed file to a server by using a mobile data network, and sharing the compressed file by the server.

Step 306, when receiving a confirmation instruction indicating the sharing address of the shared file, triggering execution of step 307.

Step 307, searching a shared address corresponding to the file name in a local mapping table.

At this time, the client has already set the file identifier as the file name, and at this time, the client can directly read the file name.

And step 308, sending the sharing address to a server for sharing.

After the client transmits the shared address to the server, the server may share the shared address with the client, and at this time, the client displays the received shared address.

By setting the file identification as the file name of the file, the problem that the file sharing is wrong due to the fact that two sharing addresses correspond to the file name in a mapping table when the file names of two files in the client are the same is solved, and the effect of improving the accuracy of the file sharing is achieved.

When the client deletes the file in the local preset file set after sending the file to the server, that is, the file does not exist locally, the user cannot select the file even if the client provides the user with an entry of the preset file set, and then step 304 is replaced with step 309, and steps 307 and 308 are replaced with step 310, please refer to fig. 5.

Step 309, receiving a sharing instruction, obtaining a file list of the files stored in the server from the server according to the sharing instruction, and selecting the files from the file list.

After the client receives the sharing instruction, if the client can only select the file of the server for sharing, at the moment, the client can directly acquire a file list of the file stored in the server from the server so as to be convenient for a user to select; if the client can select local files for sharing or select files of the server for sharing, at this time, in order to clearly determine where the files need to be selected, the client can further display the first trigger control and the second trigger control after receiving the sharing instruction, and when the client receives an operation of a user acting on the first trigger control, the client confirms that the local file selection instruction is received, at this time, step 304 is executed; when the client receives the operation of the user on the second trigger control, it is determined that the cloud file selection instruction is received, and then step 310 is executed. The cloud file selection instruction is used for indicating a client to provide a selection entry of a file of the server, so that a user can select the file to be shared in the server from the entry.

When a file is selected, the client side can send a cloud file selection request to the server according to a cloud file selection instruction, the server sends a file list including file names of all files in the server to the client side, and the client side displays the received file list so that a user can select the file to be shared from the displayed file list. Or, because the user cannot intuitively determine which file is according to the file name, optionally, the server may further generate a thumbnail for each file in the server, send a file list including thumbnails of all files to the client, and the client displays the received file list, so that the user selects a file to be shared from the displayed file list.

Step 310, sending the file name to the server, and instructing the server to search the mapping table of the server for the sharing address corresponding to the file name, and sharing the sharing address.

The process of sharing the shared address by the server is described in step 308, and is not described herein again.

The client can also receive files shared by other clients besides sharing files to other clients, please refer to fig. 6, which shows a flowchart of a method for sharing files according to another embodiment of the present invention. The file sharing method comprises the following steps:

step 601, receiving a sharing address of a file shared by a server, wherein the sharing address is a storage address of the file in the server fed back by the server after other clients access a wireless local area network and send the file to be shared to the server, and the sharing address is pushed after the other clients receive a sharing instruction for instructing to select the file for sharing, and when it is determined that the current access is a mobile data network, the sharing address corresponding to the file name of the file is instructed to the server.

The process of sharing files by other clients is detailed in the embodiment shown in fig. 3, and is not described herein again.

Step 602, sending an acquisition request of a file corresponding to the shared address to the server.

When the client receives the operation of the user on the shared address, an acquisition request carrying the shared address is generated, and the acquisition request is sent to the server.

Step 603, receiving the file fed back by the server according to the acquisition request.

After receiving the acquisition request, the server searches a mapping table of the server for a file identifier corresponding to the shared address, and sends a file corresponding to the file identifier to the client.

Optionally, because the user cannot intuitively determine whether the file is interested according to the shared address, optionally, the server may further generate a thumbnail for each file in the server, send the thumbnail of the file to the client after receiving the acquisition request, and the client displays the received thumbnail. When the client receives the operation of the user on the thumbnail, the original file is requested from the server, and the server sends the original file to the client for displaying. Or, optionally, the server may also directly send the thumbnail of the file corresponding to the shared address to the client without sending the shared address to the client, and the client displays the received thumbnail. When the client receives the operation of the user on the thumbnail, the original file is requested from the server, and the server sends the original file to the client for displaying.

It should be noted that, after displaying the shared address, the client in the embodiment shown in fig. 3 may further perform

steps

602 and 603, that is, the client displays the shared file in the interface.
