The technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

A mobile terminal implementing various embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to fig. 1. In the following description, suffixes such as "module", "component", or "unit" used to denote elements are used only for facilitating the explanation of the present invention, and have no specific meaning in themselves. Thus, "module" and "component" may be used in a mixture.

The mobile terminal may be implemented in various forms. For example, the terminal described in the present invention may include a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone, a smart phone, a notebook computer, a digital broadcast receiver, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a tablet computer (PAD), a Portable Multimedia Player (PMP), a navigation device, etc., and a stationary terminal such as a digital TV, a desktop computer, etc. In the following, it is assumed that the terminal is a mobile terminal.

The wireless communication unit 110 typically includes one or more components that allow radio communication between the mobile terminal 100 and a wireless communication system or network. For example, the wireless communication unit may include at least one of a broadcast receiving module 111, a mobile communication module 112, a wireless internet module 113, a short-range communication module 114, and a location information module 115.

The broadcast receiving module 111 receives a broadcast signal and/or broadcast associated information from an external broadcast management server via a broadcast channel. The broadcast channel may include a satellite channel and/or a terrestrial channel. The broadcast management server may be a server that generates and transmits a broadcast signal and/or broadcast associated information or a server that receives a previously generated broadcast signal and/or broadcast associated information and transmits it to a terminal. The broadcast signal may include a TV broadcast signal, a radio broadcast signal, a data broadcast signal, and the like. Also, the broadcast signal may further include a broadcast signal combined with a TV or radio broadcast signal. The broadcast associated information may also be provided via a mobile communication network, and in this case, the broadcast associated information may be received by the mobile communication module 112. The broadcast signal may exist in various forms, for example, it may exist in the form of an Electronic Program Guide (EPG) of Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB), an Electronic Service Guide (ESG) of digital video broadcasting-handheld (DVB-H), and the like. The broadcast receiving module 111 may receive a signal broadcast by using various types of broadcasting systems. In particular, the broadcast receiving module 111 may receive digital broadcasting by using a digital broadcasting system such as a data broadcasting system of multimedia broadcasting-terrestrial (DMB-T), digital multimedia broadcasting-satellite (DMB-S), digital video broadcasting-handheld (DVB-H), forward link media (MediaFLO @), terrestrial digital broadcasting integrated service (ISDB-T), and the like. The broadcast receiving module 111 may be constructed to be suitable for various broadcasting systems that provide broadcast signals as well as the above-mentioned digital broadcasting systems. The broadcast signal and/or broadcast associated information received via the broadcast receiving module 111 may be stored in the memory 160 (or other type of storage medium).

The mobile communication module 112 transmits and/or receives radio signals to and/or from at least one of a base station (e.g., access point, node B, etc.), an external terminal, and a server. Such radio signals may include voice call signals, video call signals, or various types of data transmitted and/or received according to text and/or multimedia messages.

The wireless internet module 113 supports wireless internet access of the mobile terminal. The module may be internally or externally coupled to the terminal. The wireless internet access technology to which the module relates may include WLAN (wireless LAN) (Wi-Fi), Wibro (wireless broadband), Wimax (worldwide interoperability for microwave access), HSDPA (high speed downlink packet access), and the like.

The short-range communication module 114 is a module for supporting short-range communication. Some examples of short-range communication technologies include bluetooth^TMRadio Frequency Identification (RFID), infrared data association (IrDA), Ultra Wideband (UWB), zigbee^TMAnd so on.

The location information module 115 is a module for checking or acquiring location information of the mobile terminal. A typical example of the location information module 115 is a GPS (global positioning system). According to the current technology, the location information module 115, which is a GPS, calculates distance information and accurate time information from three or more satellites and applies triangulation to the calculated information, thereby accurately calculating three-dimensional current location information according to longitude, latitude, and altitude. Currently, a method for calculating position and time information uses three satellites and corrects an error of the calculated position and time information by using another satellite. In addition, the location information module 115, which is a GPS, can calculate speed information by continuously calculating current location information in real time.

The a/V input unit 120 is used to receive an audio or video signal. The a/V input unit 120 may include a camera 121 and a microphone 122, and the camera 121 processes image data of still pictures or video obtained by an image capturing apparatus in a video capturing mode or an image capturing mode. The processed image frames may be displayed on the display unit 151. The image frames processed by the cameras 121 may be stored in the memory 160 (or other storage medium) or transmitted via the wireless communication unit 110, and two or more cameras 121 may be provided according to the construction of the mobile terminal. The microphone 122 may receive sounds (audio data) via the microphone 122 in a phone call mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, or the like, and is capable of processing such sounds into audio data. The processed audio (voice) data may be converted into a format output transmittable to a mobile communication base station via the mobile communication module 112 in case of a phone call mode. The microphone 122 may implement various types of noise cancellation (or suppression) algorithms to cancel (or suppress) noise or interference generated in the course of receiving and transmitting audio signals.

The user input unit 130 may generate key input data according to a command input by a user to control various operations of the mobile terminal. The user input unit 130 allows a user to input various types of information, and may include a keyboard, dome sheet, touch pad (e.g., a touch-sensitive member that detects changes in resistance, pressure, capacitance, and the like due to being touched), scroll wheel, joystick, and the like. In particular, when the touch pad is superimposed on the display unit 151 in the form of a layer, a touch screen may be formed.

The sensing unit 140 detects a current state of the mobile terminal 100 (e.g., an open or closed state of the mobile terminal 100), a position of the mobile terminal 100, presence or absence of contact (i.e., touch input) by a user with the mobile terminal 100, an orientation of the mobile terminal 100, acceleration or deceleration movement and direction of the mobile terminal 100, and the like, and generates a command or signal for controlling an operation of the mobile terminal 100. For example, when the mobile terminal 100 is implemented as a slide-type mobile phone, the sensing unit 140 may sense whether the slide-type phone is opened or closed. In addition, the sensing unit 140 can detect whether the power supply unit 190 supplies power or whether the interface unit 170 is coupled with an external device. The sensing unit 140 may include a proximity sensor 141 as will be described below in connection with a touch screen.

The interface unit 170 serves as an interface through which at least one external device is connected to the mobile terminal 100. For example, the external device may include a wired or wireless headset port, an external power supply (or battery charger) port, a wired or wireless data port, a memory card port, a port for connecting a device having an identification module, an audio input/output (I/O) port, a video I/O port, an earphone port, and the like. The identification module may store various information for authenticating a user using the mobile terminal 100 and may include a User Identity Module (UIM), a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM), a Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM), and the like. In addition, a device having an identification module (hereinafter, referred to as an "identification device") may take the form of a smart card, and thus, the identification device may be connected with the mobile terminal 100 via a port or other connection means. The interface unit 170 may be used to receive input (e.g., data information, power, etc.) from an external device and transmit the received input to one or more elements within the mobile terminal 100 or may be used to transmit data between the mobile terminal and the external device.

In addition, when the mobile terminal 100 is connected with an external cradle, the interface unit 170 may serve as a path through which power is supplied from the cradle to the mobile terminal 100 or may serve as a path through which various command signals input from the cradle are transmitted to the mobile terminal. Various command signals or power input from the cradle may be used as signals for recognizing whether the mobile terminal is accurately mounted on the cradle. The output unit 150 is configured to provide output signals (e.g., audio signals, video signals, alarm signals, vibration signals, etc.) in a visual, audio, and/or tactile manner. The output unit 150 may include a display unit 151, an audio output module 152, an alarm unit 153, and the like.

The display unit 151 may display information processed in the mobile terminal 100. For example, when the mobile terminal 100 is in a phone call mode, the display unit 151 may display a User Interface (UI) or a Graphical User Interface (GUI) related to a call or other communication (e.g., text messaging, multimedia file downloading, etc.). When the mobile terminal 100 is in a video call mode or an image capturing mode, the display unit 151 may display a captured image and/or a received image, a UI or GUI showing a video or an image and related functions, and the like.

Meanwhile, when the display unit 151 and the touch pad are overlapped with each other in the form of a layer to form a touch screen, the display unit 151 may serve as an input device and an output device. The display unit 151 may include at least one of a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), a thin film transistor LCD (TFT-LCD), an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display, a flexible display, a three-dimensional (3D) display, and the like. Some of these displays may be configured to be transparent to allow a user to view from the outside, which may be referred to as transparent displays, and a typical transparent display may be, for example, a TOLED (transparent organic light emitting diode) display or the like. Depending on the particular desired implementation, the mobile terminal 100 may include two or more display units (or other display devices), for example, the mobile terminal may include an external display unit (not shown) and an internal display unit (not shown). The touch screen may be used to detect a touch input pressure as well as a touch input position and a touch input area.

The audio output module 152 may convert audio data received by the wireless communication unit 110 or stored in the memory 160 into an audio signal and output as sound when the mobile terminal is in a call signal reception mode, a call mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, a broadcast reception mode, or the like. Also, the audio output module 152 may provide audio output related to a specific function performed by the mobile terminal 100 (e.g., a call signal reception sound, a message reception sound, etc.). The audio output module 152 may include a speaker, a buzzer, and the like.

The alarm unit 153 may provide an output to notify the mobile terminal 100 of the occurrence of an event. Typical events may include call reception, message reception, key signal input, touch input, and the like. In addition to audio or video output, the alarm unit 153 may provide output in different ways to notify the occurrence of an event. For example, the alarm unit 153 may provide an output in the form of vibration, and when a call, a message, or some other Incoming Communication (Incoming Communication) is received, the alarm unit 153 may provide a tactile output (e.g., vibration) to inform the user thereof. By providing such a tactile output, the user can recognize the occurrence of various events even when the user's mobile phone is in the user's pocket. The alarm unit 153 may also provide an output notifying the occurrence of an event via the display unit 151 or the audio output module 152.

The memory 160 may store software programs or the like for processing and controlling operations performed by the controller 180, or may temporarily store data (e.g., a phonebook, messages, still images, videos, etc.) that has been output or is to be output. Also, the memory 160 may store data regarding various ways of vibration and audio signals output when a touch is applied to the touch screen.

The memory 160 may include at least one type of storage medium including a flash memory, a hard disk, a multimedia card, a card-type memory (e.g., SD or DX memory, etc.), a Random Access Memory (RAM), a Static Random Access Memory (SRAM), a read-only memory (ROM), an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), a programmable read-only memory (PROM), a magnetic memory, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, and the like. Also, the mobile terminal 100 may cooperate with a network storage device that performs a storage function of the memory 160 through a network connection.

The controller 180 generally controls the overall operation of the mobile terminal. For example, the controller 180 performs control and processing related to voice calls, data communications, video calls, and the like. In addition, the controller 180 may include a multimedia module 181 for reproducing (or playing back) multimedia data, and the multimedia module 181 may be constructed within the controller 180 or may be constructed separately from the controller 180. The controller 180 may perform a pattern recognition process to recognize a handwriting input or a picture drawing input performed on the touch screen as a character or an image.

The power supply unit 190 receives external power or internal power and provides appropriate power required to operate various elements and components under the control of the controller 180.

The various embodiments described herein may be implemented in a computer-readable medium using, for example, computer software, hardware, or any combination thereof. For a hardware implementation, the embodiments described herein may be implemented using at least one of an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), a Digital Signal Processing Device (DSPD), a Programmable Logic Device (PLD), a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), a processor, a controller, a microcontroller, a microprocessor, an electronic unit designed to perform the functions described herein, and in some cases, such embodiments may be implemented in the controller 180. For a software implementation, the implementation such as a process or a function may be implemented with a separate software module that allows performing at least one function or operation. The software codes may be implemented by software applications (or programs) written in any suitable programming language, which may be stored in the memory 160 and executed by the controller 180.

Up to now, the mobile terminal has been described in terms of its functions. Hereinafter, a slide-type mobile terminal among various types of mobile terminals, such as a folder-type, bar-type, swing-type, slide-type mobile terminal, and the like, will be described as an example for the sake of brevity. Accordingly, the present invention can be applied to any type of mobile terminal, and is not limited to a slide type mobile terminal.

The mobile terminal 100 as shown in fig. 1 may be configured to operate with communication systems such as wired and wireless communication systems and satellite-based communication systems that transmit data via frames or packets.

A communication system in which a mobile terminal according to the present invention is operable will now be described with reference to fig. 2.

Such communication systems may use different air interfaces and/or physical layers. For example, the air interface used by the communication system includes, for example, Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) (in particular, Long Term Evolution (LTE)), global system for mobile communications (GSM), and the like. By way of non-limiting example, the following description relates to a CDMA communication system, but such teachings are equally applicable to other types of systems.

Referring to fig. 2, the CDMA wireless communication system may include a plurality of mobile terminals 100, a plurality of Base Stations (BSs) 270, Base Station Controllers (BSCs) 275, and a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) 280. The MSC280 is configured to interface with a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) 290. The MSC280 is also configured to interface with a BSC275, which may be coupled to the base station 270 via a backhaul. The backhaul may be constructed according to any of several known interfaces including, for example, E1/T1, ATM, IP, PPP, frame Relay, HDSL, ADSL, or xDSL. It will be understood that a system as shown in fig. 2 may include multiple BSCs 275.

Each BS270 may serve one or more sectors (or regions), each sector covered by a multi-directional antenna or an antenna pointing in a particular direction being radially distant from the BS 270. Alternatively, each partition may be covered by two or more antennas for diversity reception. Each BS270 may be configured to support multiple frequency allocations, with each frequency allocation having a particular frequency spectrum (e.g., 1.25MHz, 5MHz, etc.).

The intersection of partitions with frequency allocations may be referred to as a CDMA channel. The BS270 may also be referred to as a Base Transceiver Subsystem (BTS) or other equivalent terminology. In such a case, the term "base station" may be used to generically refer to a single BSC275 and at least one BS 270. The base stations may also be referred to as "cells". Alternatively, each sector of a particular BS270 may be referred to as a plurality of cell sites.

As shown in fig. 2, a Broadcast Transmitter (BT)295 transmits a broadcast signal to the mobile terminal 100 operating within the system. A broadcast receiving module 111 as shown in fig. 1 is provided at the mobile terminal 100 to receive a broadcast signal transmitted by the BT 295. In fig. 2, several Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites 300 are shown. The satellite 300 assists in locating at least one of the plurality of mobile terminals 100.

In fig. 2, a plurality of satellites 300 are depicted, but it is understood that useful positioning information may be obtained with any number of satellites. The location information module 115, which is a GPS as shown in fig. 1, is generally configured to cooperate with satellites 300 to obtain desired positioning information. Other techniques that can track the location of the mobile terminal may be used instead of or in addition to GPS tracking techniques. In addition, at least one GPS satellite 300 may selectively or additionally process satellite DMB transmission.

As a typical operation of the wireless communication system, the BS270 receives reverse link signals from various mobile terminals 100. The mobile terminal 100 is generally engaged in conversations, messaging, and other types of communications. Each reverse link signal received by a particular base station 270 is processed within the particular BS 270. The obtained data is forwarded to the associated BSC 275. The BSC provides call resource allocation and mobility management functions including coordination of soft handoff procedures between BSs 270. The BSCs 275 also route the received data to the MSC280, which provides additional routing services for interfacing with the PSTN 290. Similarly, the PSTN290 interfaces with the MSC280, the MSC interfaces with the BSCs 275, and the BSCs 275 accordingly control the BS270 to transmit forward link signals to the mobile terminal 100.

Based on the above mobile terminal hardware structure and communication system, the present invention provides various embodiments of the method.

Example one

An embodiment of the present invention provides a file display method, which is shown in fig. 3 and includes the following steps:

step 301, when the application program needs the terminal to display the files, a first type of files with collection identification information is obtained from the files stored in the server and/or the terminal.

The case that the application program needs the terminal to display the file may be: when a user needs to view (or use for another purpose) files in the server and/or the terminal during the application program usage process, the terminal is required to display the corresponding files.

Furthermore, a user can click a file display key of the application program and send a file display request to the terminal; and when the terminal receives the file display request, acquiring the first type of files with the collection identification information from the server and/or the terminal.

For example, when a first user needs to send a picture to a second user, the first user may click a picture display key of a social application program used by the first user, at this time, the social application program sends a picture display request to the terminal, and after receiving the picture display request, the terminal obtains and displays the picture with the collection identification information from the server and/or the terminal; after the pictures are displayed, the user can view the displayed pictures, select the pictures needing to be sent, then execute sending operation and send the selected pictures to the second user.

Alternatively, the file to be displayed may be an audio file, a video file, a photo, a folder, or a website of a webpage browsed by the application program.

In addition, each file stored by the server and/or the terminal corresponds to file information, and the file information may include information such as a name, a type, a size, a creation date, a modification date, or a collection identifier of the file. Further, the file information is stored in a global database.

It should be noted that the global database stores file information of all files in the server and/or the terminal, and when any one file in the server and/or the terminal is modified, the file information in the global database is modified correspondingly.

Further, the collection identification information may include a collection identification, and the collection identification may be 1 or 0. When the collection identifier is 1, the collection identifier information is set, that is, the user collects the corresponding file; when the collection identifier is 0, it indicates that no collection identifier information is set, i.e., the user does not collect the corresponding file.

Further, when the user wants to pay attention to a certain file or the user likes the file, the file is stored in the server and/or the terminal so as to realize collection of the file. For example, when a user finds that a picture displayed by a social application program may need to be used again in the process of using the social application program, the user can click a collection key in the application program to collect the picture to a server and/or a terminal so as to use the picture again.

In addition, it should be noted that, when the user collects files, the files may be saved in a folder corresponding to the application program, and collection identification information is set for the collected files; and meanwhile, file information of the collected files is stored in the global database, and meanwhile, collection identification information and other file information are set for the collected files in the global database, so that the files are not stored in the global database, and only the file information of the files is stored.

In addition, it should be noted that the user may also set collection identification information for the files already stored in the terminal through some functions in the terminal, so as to facilitate the files to be reused.

Optionally, the first type of file with the collection identification information may be acquired from the server and/or the terminal by the following steps:

the first step is to obtain first-class file information with collection identification information from all file information included in the global database.

When the files need to be displayed, the terminal inquires the information of each file in the global database and acquires the first type of file information including the collection identification information from the information of each file.

Illustratively, the global database is shown in table one, when a file needs to be displayed, the terminal queries four file information included in the global database, and obtains collection identifiers (sequentially marked as a first collection identifier, a second collection identifier, a third collection identifier and a fourth collection identifier) in the four file information, wherein the collection identifiers are 1, 0 and 0 respectively; because 1 represents that the collection identification information exists, and 0 represents that the collection identification information does not exist, the first collection identification and the second collection identification in the four collection identifications are judged to have the collection identification information; and determining the file information of the first collection identifier and the file information of the second collection identifier (the file information with the numbers of 1 and 2) as the first type of file information to be acquired.

Watch 1

And secondly, acquiring the first-class files from the server and/or the terminal according to each storage path included by the first-class file information.

After the first-class file information is obtained, each storage path in the first-class file information is obtained, and corresponding files are obtained from the server and/or the terminal according to each storage path to obtain the first-class files.

Illustratively, still taking the above example as an example, the acquired first-type file information is two file information numbered 1 and 2; respectively acquiring corresponding storage paths from the file information with the numbers of 1 and 2 to obtain two storage paths, namely' E: \ Picture "and" E: v audio "; and then acquiring corresponding files from the terminal according to the two storage paths to obtain a file 1 and a file 2.

Step 302, displaying the first type of file.

Alternatively, the first type of files may be displayed in the form of a menu or virtual folder.

After the first type of files are obtained, the first type of files are directly displayed in a menu or virtual folder mode, and the first type of files are not required to be displayed after the first type of files are copied; therefore, the operation step of copying files is reduced, and the display speed is improved; in addition, when the picture is not copied, the picture storage only occupies the storage space with the same size as the picture, and compared with the situation that the picture is copied to a single file in the prior art, the storage space of the terminal is saved.

In addition, it should be noted that, when a user needs to view a file, the user is more inclined to query the files collected by the user, so that when the terminal needs to display the files, the files collected by the user are displayed, so as to improve the convenience of the user in viewing the files.

In summary, the file display method provided in the embodiment of the present invention adds the file information of the collection identifier to the file information of the global database, and sets the collection identifier information for the collected files; when any application program in the terminal needs the terminal to display the file, the terminal can acquire the corresponding file from the server and/or the terminal according to the set collection identification information no matter whether the file needing to be displayed is the file collected by the application program; any application program in the terminal can display files collected by other application programs, so that the sharing rate of the files is improved; and when the application program in the terminal displays the collected files, the files to be displayed do not need to be copied into the corresponding folders of the application program, so that the operation step of copying the files is reduced, the operation convenience is improved, the files are not copied, the occupation of the storage space of the terminal is reduced, and the utilization rate of the storage space of the terminal is improved.

Example two

The embodiment of the invention provides another file display method, which adds a judging step before the step 301 in the first embodiment, wherein the judging step is used for judging whether a file display condition is carried when an application program sends a file display request to a terminal, and executing different operations according to a judging result. Referring to fig. 4A and 4B, the method includes the steps of:

step 401, when receiving a file display request, determining whether the file display request carries a file display condition.

The file display condition may limit the files to be displayed, such as a certain type of file, a file within a certain size range, and a file of a certain storage path that are required to be displayed. Illustratively, when the file display condition is "picture", it indicates that a file of a picture type is required to be displayed.

Optionally, whether the file display request carries a file display condition may be determined by the following method: the method comprises the steps that when a terminal receives a file display request sent by an application program, all information carried in the file display request is obtained; judging whether each piece of information comprises one or more pieces of file information, and if so, determining to carry file display conditions; if not, determining that the file display condition is not carried. For example, when the file display request carries information such as "picture", "audio", or "video", the file display condition is determined to be carried; when any information related to the file information is not carried in the file display request, it is determined that the file display condition is not carried.

Further, when it is determined that the file display condition is not carried, executing step 402; when it is determined that the file display condition is carried, step 404 is performed.

Step 402, when it is determined that the display condition of the file is not carried, acquiring a first type of file with collection identification information from the files stored in the server and/or the terminal.

For the content of the first type of file with the collection identification information obtained from the server and/or the terminal, refer to the related description in step 301 of the embodiment, which is not described herein again.

Step 403, displaying the first type of file.

For the content of displaying the first type of file, refer to the related description of step 302 in the first embodiment, which is not described herein again.

And step 404, acquiring the file display condition from the file display request when the file display condition is determined to be carried.

As can be seen from step 401, when the file display condition is determined to be carried, and the file display request includes related content such as file information, the terminal acquires the related content of the file information included in the file display request, that is, the file display condition is acquired. For example, the file display condition acquired from the file display request is "picture".

And step 405, acquiring the second type of files meeting the file display conditions from the server and/or the terminal according to the file display conditions.

After the file display condition is obtained, comparing the one or more file information with the file information in the global database because the file display condition is the one or more file information, and obtaining second-class file information which accords with the one or more file information from the file information included in the global database; and then acquiring the files from the server and/or the terminal according to each storage path included in the second type file information to obtain the second type files meeting the file display conditions.

Step 406, a third type file with the collection identification information is obtained from the second type file.

And after the second type of file is acquired, acquiring third type of file information with collection identification information from the second type of file information corresponding to the second type of file, and acquiring the file from the terminal according to each storage path included in the third type of file information to acquire the third type of file.

Of course, the execution sequence of step 405 and step 406 may be reversed, that is, the files with the collection identification information are obtained first, and then the files meeting the file display condition are obtained from the files with the collection identification information.

In addition, when the second-class file information is acquired in step 405, the step of acquiring the second-class file may not be executed, the third-class file information with the collection identification information is directly acquired from the second-class file information, and then the third-class file is acquired according to the third-class file information; so as to reduce the operation steps and improve the operation efficiency.

Step 407, displaying the third type file.

For the method for displaying the third type of file, reference may be made to the related contents of the first type of file displayed in the first embodiment, which is not described herein again.

Optionally, the second type of file may also be displayed while the third type of file is displayed.

Optionally, the third type of file is displayed in the form of a first menu or a first virtual folder; and displaying the second type of files in the form of a second menu or a second virtual folder. Therefore, the files collected by the user and the files not collected by the user can be displayed, so that the user can conveniently check or perform other operations on the displayed files, and the use convenience is improved.
