Description

Media file backup method and device and user equipment

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for backing up a media file, and a user equipment.

Background

The media refers to the representation form of information and the entity for storing and transmitting information, the common information media types include text, graphics, images, animation, audio or video, etc., and the specific form is film and television programs, online information, computer games or projection demonstration, etc. Various types of media correspond to media files, such as audio media files, video media files, picture files, and the like. In order to prevent the media files from being lost due to abnormal conditions such as damage of the storage carrier, backup of the media files is necessary.

For the backup of media files, there are two common methods in the prior art, one is manual backup, and a user queries files to be backed up by himself and then manually backs up the files by using a copy function. The other method is to use a Redundant array of independent Disks (RAID for short) technology to perform backup, where the RAID technology is to add a RAID chip and implement a RAID function through the RAID chip to implement backup of media files.

However, the manual backup method is completely dependent on the user's own behavior, which may cause file loss and poor file backup security due to the user forgetting or missing the backup easily, and is cumbersome to operate and not highly user-friendly; the RAID technology is adopted to backup the media files, although the safety of file backup can be better ensured, a RAID chip needs to be added, and the cost is higher.

Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for backing up a media file, which is performed by a user equipment, specifically, a media file backup device set in the user equipment, where the user equipment includes a first storage device and a second storage device, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit what types of the first storage device and the second storage device are, for example, the first storage device and the second storage device may be any one of the following storage devices: as shown in fig. 1, the method for backing up a media file provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

s11, the media files stored on the first storage device are scanned to determine whether the media files are marked with important file identifications.

It should be noted that, in this step, the scanned media file is at least one media file stored on the first storage device.

For example, in this step, the media file may include at least one of an audio media file, a video media file, and a picture file. The audio media file refers to a file storing sound content, such as a file with a format of MP3, CD, WAVE (·. WAV), WMA, RealAudio, and the like; the video media file refers to a file storing various dynamic image contents, such as files in the formats of WMV, AVI, MP4, RM/RMVB, kmv, and the like; the picture file is a file storing contents of various tangible things, for example, a file in a format of JPEG, TIFF, BMP, GIF, PNG, or the like.

Obviously, the media file may be other types of media files, and the present invention is not limited to this.

It is understood that, in order to ensure the security of the media files stored in the first storage device, the user marks important media files for which the user wants to save for a long time, which are important for the user, in the backup method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, before this step, i.e., the step S11, the user marks important file identifications. For example, the user device may provide an important file option for the media file, and the user may mark an important file identifier for the media file by selecting the option; for another example, the user equipment may receive an instruction that a user wants to mark a certain media file as an important file, and after receiving the instruction, the user equipment adds an important file identifier to the attribute information of the media file, that is, marks the important file identifier for the media file. Therefore, in this step, the user equipment can find the important media files through scanning, and then backup the important media files, thereby effectively ensuring the security of the media files.

Specifically, there may be three specific implementation manners in this step, which are as follows:

first, in an embodiment of the present invention, when receiving a scanning instruction of a user, and the scanning instruction indicates to scan a media file stored on the first storage device, a user device may scan the media file stored on the first storage device according to the scanning instruction of the user, to determine whether the media file is marked with an important file identifier; that is, this step can be performed according to the wishes of the user, and the user can issue the scanning instruction at any time according to the actual needs of the user. For example, the user device may provide the user with a function option to scan the media file, and this step is initiated when the user selects the function option.

Secondly, the user equipment may scan the media files stored on the first storage device according to a preset scanning period to determine whether the media files are marked with important file identifiers. The length of the preset scanning period is not limited, and may be set arbitrarily, for example, 1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks, one month, and the like, and the scanning period may be preset by the user or may be a default setting of the user equipment.

Thirdly, the user equipment can monitor the operation of the user on the media file stored in the first storage device in real time, and once the operation of the user on the media file stored in the first storage device is monitored and determined, the media file operated by the user is scanned to determine whether the media file operated by the user is marked with an important file identifier. The "operation" monitored by the user equipment may include that the user pastes a new media file into the first storage device, and the user opens the media file originally stored in the first storage device and then closes the media file, or the user modifies the content of the media file originally stored in the first storage device, or the user modifies the attribute of the media file originally stored in the first storage device, and the like, which is not limited in the present invention. For example, once the user device detects that the user has pasted a new media file into the first storage device, the user device will start scanning the new media file to determine whether the media file is marked with an important file identifier.

It will be appreciated that in one embodiment of the invention, the user equipment may perform scanning in at least two of the three ways described above.

It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the implementation manner of the step, and may be at least one of the above three manners, and may also be other scanning manners.

In this step, if the user equipment scans that the media files are marked with important file identifications, step S12 is executed, and the user equipment may not perform any processing for the media files not marked with important file identifications.

S12, if the media file is marked with the important file identification, obtaining the directory information of the media file.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the directory information refers to path information for storing media files on the storage device. For example, the directory information of a certain media file is "E: \ Beijing division \ research and development department 1\ communication group \ work \ courseware.

Specifically, the user equipment may read the attribute information of the media file marked with the important file identifier to obtain the directory information of the file, and certainly, the user equipment may also have other ways of obtaining the directory information.

And S13, backing up the media file to a second storage device according to the acquired media file directory information.

The second storage device may be provided with a special backup storage area, and in this step, the user device may backup the media file marked with the important file identifier to the backup storage area in the second storage device.

The method for backing up the media files comprises the steps of scanning the media files stored on the first storage device, backing up the media files to the second storage device according to the directory information of the files when the media files are marked with important file identifications, namely backing up the media files marked with the important media file identifications automatically, so that the important media files are marked only by a user, and manual copying and other operations of the user are not needed to complete the backing up, the complicated operation of backing up by the user is effectively simplified, the file loss caused by forgetting or missing of the user can be well avoided, the safety of the backing up is effectively ensured, the user experience is obviously improved, any chip is not needed, and the cost is effectively reduced.

It is understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, before the step S11, the user needs to mark the important file identifier for the important file that the user thinks, that is, the user equipment needs to mark the important file identifier for the media file according to the user' S requirement under the instruction of the user, and the following description describes in detail how the user equipment marks the important media file identifier for the media file.

Specifically, in the method for backing up a media file provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the method for marking an important media file identifier for the media file by the user equipment includes the following two types, but is not limited to the following two types:

one is as follows:

when a user needs to close a media file, the user usually clicks a close button of the media file, that is, issues a close instruction, and at this time, the user equipment may send an important file marking prompt to the user when receiving the close instruction of the user to the media file, for example, pop up a dialog box, which displays: whether to mark the important file identification for the file and to give option buttons of "yes" and "no" to ask, i.e. prompt, the user whether to mark the important file identification for the media file that he closed. If the user finds the file important, an important file mark marking instruction is sent according to the important file mark prompting, for example, a yes button in a dialog box is clicked to instruct the user equipment to mark the important file mark for the media file, after the user equipment receives the instruction, the important file mark is marked for the media file closed by the user, of course, if the user finds the file not important and does not need to mark, a no mark instruction can be sent according to the important file mark prompting, for example, a no button in the dialog box is clicked to instruct the user equipment not to mark the important file mark for the media file.

It can be understood that this manner is not limited to the case where the user closes the media file, but may also be implemented at other times, for example, when the user saves the media file, for example, after the user modifies a media file, the user usually clicks a save button or a pull-down menu "save option", that is, issues a save instruction, and the user equipment may pop up an important file marking prompt when receiving the save instruction of the user for the media file, so that the user performs the marking operation or does not perform the marking operation under the instruction issued by the user according to the important file marking prompt, which is not described herein again.

It should be noted that, for example, the user device may send the important document marking prompt to the user in the form of a pop-up dialog box to ask the user whether to mark, and the user selects yes if he wants to mark, and otherwise selects no. Of course, the prompting method of the user equipment is not limited to this method, and other methods are also possible.

The second step is as follows:

each time a user encounters a media file that the user considers important, the user can mark the important file identification for the media file by editing the media file. Specifically, the user will issue an editing instruction for the media file to the user equipment, in an embodiment of the present invention, the editing instruction may refer to any operation that the user wants to edit the media file, for example, an operation that the user clicks a right button on an icon of the media file, an operation that the user clicks any button in a toolbar or menu bar of the media file, and so on, when the user equipment detects such an operation of the user, a media file editing option corresponding to the user operation is displayed for the user, for example, a pull-down menu is popped up, the pull-down menu includes at least one editing option, an option marking an important file identifier is included in the displayed at least one editing option, the user marks the media file by selecting the option marking an important file identifier, that is, the user equipment receives a selection instruction of the option marking an important file identifier from the user, thereby marking the important file identification for the media file edited by the user according to the instruction.

For example, the user's editing instruction may be that the user clicks a left button to select a certain media file, then clicks a right button, and at this time, the user device displays an editing option menu including an "important file identifier" option, and then the user selects the option to mark the media file.

For another example, the user's editing instruction may be that the user clicks an editing button in a menu bar of a certain media file, the user device displays a pull-down option menu, which includes an "important file identifier" option, and the user selects the option to mark the media file.

It will be appreciated that in one embodiment of the invention, the user device may tag the media files with important file identifications in both of the above-described ways.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, before backing up the media files in the first storage device to the second storage device, the media files marked with the important identifiers need to be scanned first, and whether marking the media files with the important file identifiers is completed manually by the user is required. Therefore, how to perform important file identification on media files is important for users. In the embodiment of the invention, for the user, the two modes are simple to operate, so that the user experience can be obviously improved.

Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, a dedicated storage area may be disposed in the first storage device, which is referred to as a first backup storage area in the embodiment of the present invention, for storing the directory information acquired by the user equipment in step S12, that is, after step S12 and before step S13, the method may further include the following steps:

at this time, in step S13, specifically, the directory information placed in the first backup storage area is read, and the media file corresponding to the directory information is backed up on the second storage device according to the read directory information.

Further, in an embodiment of the present invention, the user equipment may backup not only the media files stored in the first storage device to the second storage device, but also the media files in the second storage device to the first storage device, that is, the method for backing up the media files provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include the following steps:

It can be understood that, for how to backup the media files on the second storage device to the first storage device, how to mark the media files on the second storage device, and the like, the same manners as those adopted in the process of backing up the media files of the first storage device to the second storage device are adopted, that is, the specific implementation process of backing up the media files on the second storage device to the first storage device is the same as the specific implementation process of backing up the media files of the first storage device to the second storage device, refer to the foregoing embodiments specifically, and are not described herein again.

It should be noted that, when the user equipment backs up the media files stored in the first storage device to the second storage device and also backs up the media files in the second storage device to the first storage device, a special storage area may be disposed in the first storage device, which is referred to as a second backup storage area in the embodiment of the present invention, and is used to store the media files backed up by the second storage device on the first storage device, at this time, the step of backing up the media files to the first storage device according to the directory information of the media files specifically includes:

It should be noted that, when the first storage device is provided with the aforementioned first backup storage area and second backup storage area at the same time, both may be the same storage area, that is, a special storage area is provided on the first storage device, and is used to store the directory information acquired in step S12, and also is used to store the media file backed up on the first storage device by the second storage device, of course, both may also be two storage areas that separately exist, which is not limited in this disclosure.

Further, in an embodiment of the present invention, after the step S13, if the first storage device is damaged or otherwise abnormal, the user needs to replace the first storage device, and the user may detach the first storage device from the user device and replace the first storage device with a third storage device, in which case, the file backup method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include the following steps:

Specifically, when the user checks that the first storage device cannot be used or the first storage device cannot meet the use requirement of the user, the user replaces the first storage device with the third storage device. When the user changes the third storage device and the user device recognizes the storage device, the storage device is found to be different from the first storage device, that is, it is determined that the user changes the first storage device to the third storage device, and the media files stored in the first storage device and originally backed up to the second storage device are synchronized to the third storage device.

Further, in order to further improve user experience, in an embodiment of the present invention, the file backup method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include the following steps:

detecting the working state of the first storage device;

if the first storage device is detected to be in an abnormal working state, the user device can send a storage device switching prompt to a user so as to prompt the user to switch the storage device; after receiving a storage device switching instruction of a user, the user device switches the first storage device into a second storage device according to the storage device switching instruction; the user equipment can also directly and automatically switch the first storage equipment to the second storage equipment.

Specifically, the user equipment detects the working state of the first storage device in real time or periodically according to a preset setting, and if the user equipment detects that the first storage device is in an abnormal working state, for example, a user cannot open a plurality of media files which can be opened originally on the first storage device, or cannot normally play after opening a plurality of media files on the first storage device, at this time, the user equipment switches the first storage device into the second storage device, so that the user opens the backup media files on the second storage device. The switching modes can be the following two types:

the method is that the user equipment sends a storage equipment switching prompt to a user to prompt the user to switch the storage equipment.
