The implementation of the server storage space 143 is not limited in this application.

Referring to fig. 3, a flowchart of a method for managing recently used files according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. The embodiment is illustrated by applying the method to a terminal in fig. 1 or fig. 2. The method may be performed by a predetermined application, the method comprising:

step 301, acquiring a target account logged in by a user;

the same user may use multiple terminals and log on to the server and each terminal using the same account to identify his or her identity using the account. Alternatively, the operating system in which one terminal exists on n terminals is provided with the most recently used directory. For example, there is a terminal using the Windows operating system, provided and maintained with the percent directory.

The target account is an account that the user logs in on the current terminal, i.e., an account that is logged in a predetermined application. The user can manually log in the target account in the preset application program, can also log in the target account in the preset application program by scanning the code through the mobile phone, and can also automatically log in the target account of the historical record by the preset application program after the terminal is started.

Step 302, synchronizing the recently used files of the target account used on n terminals, wherein n is a positive integer;

the most recently used file is at least one file obtained by sorting the used time from the current time from near to far. The usage time is the time when the user uses the file on the terminal. The service time comprises the following steps: the one of the creation time, the access time, and the modification time that is closest to the current time. The creation time is the time when the user created the file, the access time is the time when the user viewed or opened the file, and the modification time is the time when the user modified the file content of the file.

Step 303, displaying a viewing entry of the quick access floating window;

the quick access floating window is a user interface provided by a preset application program. The quick access floating window is used for displaying a quick access entry of at least one recently used file.

The view entry may be any one of an icon, shortcut, button, or menu bar.

Referring schematically to FIG. 4, the view portal 41 may be a clickable object element displayed on the desktop taskbar, with the word "documentary on the clickable object element.

Step 304, receiving a trigger signal on the viewing portal;

the trigger signal may be any one of a single click signal, a double click signal, a long press signal, or a slide signal.

Referring to fig. 4 schematically, the user may click on the view entry 41, and the terminal receives a click signal of the user on the view entry 41 as a trigger signal.

And 305, displaying a quick access floating window according to the trigger signal, wherein a quick access entry of the recently used file is displayed on the quick access floating window.

Optionally, the quick access floating window displays m quick access entries of the most recently used files in the order of the use time from near to far.

m is a preset value, such as 18 or 20. Alternatively, m is a value generated according to the file use frequency of the user, and the size of m has a positive correlation with the file use frequency.

Referring to fig. 4, after receiving the single click signal on the view entry 41, the terminal displays a quick access floating window 42 on the desktop, and a plurality of recently used documents are displayed on the quick access floating window 42. These recently used documents may be displayed in top-down order on the quick access floating window 42 in order of time of use from near to far.

In summary, in the method provided in this embodiment, the latest files of the target user on the n terminals are synchronized, and the quick access floating window is displayed on the current terminal according to the trigger signal, where one or more quick access entries of the latest files are displayed on the quick access floating window. The method and the device can enable the user to check the recently used files of the same target account on the n terminals on the current terminal, and achieve the 'carry-on' use effect of the recently used files. Even if the current terminal is not a terminal adopting a Windows operating system, the quick access floating window can be used to realize the quick access to the recently used files.

Since the same user may have multiple terminals: the method can be used for synchronizing the recently used files between at least two terminals. Any two terminals of the at least two terminals may be the same type of terminal or different types of terminals. Optionally, the operating system of one or more of the at least two terminals supports the most recently used directory, for example, the operating system of at least one terminal is a Windows operating system.

Referring schematically to fig. 5, a user has an office computer 51 and a home computer 52. The office computer 51 and the home computer 52 may both be computers using Windows operating systems, and both have a computer housekeeping program installed thereon and have the same target account number logged in.

Referring schematically to fig. 6, a user has an office computer 51 and a tablet computer 53. The office computer 51 is a computer using a Windows operating system, the tablet computer 53 is a computer using an IOS operating system, and both the computers are installed with a computer housekeeping program and log in the same target account. When a user modifies a document "three-day trip in taiwan, precious island" on the office computer 51, the computer manager program will automatically synchronize the document "three-day trip in taiwan, precious island" to the tablet personal computer 53, and the user can view and use the document at any time on the tablet personal computer 53.

Referring schematically to fig. 7, a user has an office computer 51, a tablet computer 53, a notebook 54 and a cell phone 55. The office computer 51 and the notebook 54 may be computers using Windows operating system, the tablet computer 53 is a computer using IOS operating system, and the mobile phone 55 is a mobile phone using Android operating system. The document management programs are installed on the terminals and the same target account is logged in. After the user modifies and renames the presentation document planning chart for products in 2017 on the office computer 51 to be the presentation document planning chart for products in 2018, the document management program synchronizes the presentation document planning chart for products in 2018 to the tablet personal computer 53, the notebook personal computer 54 and the mobile phone 55, and the user can use any one of the tablet personal computer 53, the notebook personal computer 54 and the mobile phone 55 to view and use the document again.

The first terminal is an office computer 51, and the second terminal is any one of the office computer 51, the home computer 52, the tablet pc 53, the notebook 54, and the cellular phone 55.

Referring to fig. 8, a flowchart of a method for managing recently used files according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. The embodiment is illustrated by applying the method to the computer system in fig. 1 or fig. 2. The method may be performed by a predetermined application, the method comprising:

step 801, a first terminal acquires a target account for user login;

the first terminal runs a preset application program, and a user can manually log in a target account in the preset application program, can also log in the target account in the preset application program by scanning a code through a mobile phone, and can also automatically log in a target account of a historical record by the preset application program after the terminal is started.

The preset application program acquires a target account number logged in by a user.

Step 802, a first terminal acquires data in a recently used directory of an operating system;

the recently used directory is used for recording data of the recently used files by the operating system according to the sequence of the use time. Taking the Windows system as an example, the most recently used directory is the Recent directory.

Since the actual storage path of the recently used file may be scattered in different storage locations, the Recent directory stores therein shortcuts of the recently used file, not the file itself of the recently used file.

The addition, deletion, modification, and renaming of shortcuts in the percent directory is maintained by the Windows operating system. The predetermined application program may read change information of all shortcuts of recently used items in the percent directory through an API interface provided by the operating system.

Optionally, after the predetermined application is started, the predetermined application reads all shortcuts in the percent directory in an enumeration manner. The predetermined application may also initiate a thread by which information is obtained about at least one of addition, deletion and renaming of shortcuts in the most recently used directory.

Referring to fig. 5 in combination, it is assumed that there are shortcuts of two documents "work plan in 2018" and "COM principle and application" in the percent directory, and the computer manager program in the office computer 51 acquires the shortcuts in the percent directory.

Step 803, the first terminal determines the latest file of the target account on the first terminal according to the data in the latest usage directory;

the predetermined application monitors the percent directory in the operating system.

The predetermined application program analyzes the shortcut in the percent directory to obtain source file information corresponding to the shortcut, and optionally, the source file information includes: at least one information of a file storage path, a file type, a file name, and a file size.

And the predetermined application program determines the latest file of the target account on the first terminal according to the source file information corresponding to the shortcut. Optionally, the predetermined application determines the m most recently used files of the target account used on the first terminal.

Referring to fig. 5 in conjunction, the recent usage documents of the target account number "white of small" used in the office computer 51, including work plan of 2018 and COM principle and application, are determined by the computer manager program.

Step 804, the first terminal uploads the recently used file to a server storage space corresponding to the target account;

and the first terminal uploads a plurality of recently used files to a server storage space corresponding to the target account. The last usage file includes file data and usage time. The service time comprises the following steps: the one of the creation time, the access time, and the modification time that is closest to the current time.

In a possible implementation mode, if the uploading is the first uploading, the first terminal uploads the m recently used files to the server in a full uploading mode; if the current uploading is the ith uploading, and i is larger than or equal to 2, the first terminal uploads the m recently-used files to the server in an incremental uploading mode, namely only newly-added recently-used files, newly-accessed recently-used files or newly-modified recently-used files are uploaded to the server in an incremental uploading mode.

The method comprises the steps that a first terminal sends an uploading request to a server, wherein the uploading request comprises: a target account number, file data of a recently used file, and a usage time of the recently used file. The target account can be replaced by a token, key or other identifier equivalent to the target account.

Referring to fig. 5, the computer manager program uploads the recently used documents "work plan in 2018" and "COM principle and application" to the server storage space corresponding to the target account.

Step 805, the server stores the recently used file of the target account to the server storage space corresponding to the target account;

the server receives an uploading request sent by the first terminal, and stores the recently used file of the target account to a server storage space corresponding to the target account according to the uploading request.

In a possible implementation manner, if the uploading is the first uploading, the server stores the m recently used files of the target account into a server storage space corresponding to the target account; and if the uploading is the ith uploading, and i is more than or equal to 2, the server performs incremental updating on the server storage space corresponding to the target account according to the uploading request.

Optionally, after the server updates the server storage space each time, the server generates an update time stamp or a file version number for the target account, where the update time stamp or the file version number is used to indicate the latest update time of the server storage space corresponding to the target account.

Step 806, the second terminal obtains a target account for the user to log in;

the second terminal runs a preset application program, and a user can manually log in a target account in the preset application program, can also log in the target account in the preset application program by scanning a code through a mobile phone, and can also automatically log in a target account of a historical record by the preset application program after the terminal is started.

Step 807, the second terminal downloads the recently used files of the target account used on the n terminals from the server storage space corresponding to the target account;

the second terminal and the first terminal are both terminals logged in with the target account. The second terminal and the first terminal may be the same terminal or different terminals. When the second terminal and the first terminal are different terminals, the operating system type of the second terminal may be a linux operating system, an Android operating system, or an IOS apple operating system, which is not limited in the present application.

For better understanding, as an alternative embodiment, the second terminal is illustrated as a home computer 52 shown in fig. 5. The computer manager program in the home computer 52 may synchronize the 2018 work plan and the COM principles and applications to the local.

The second terminal can download the latest files used by the target account on the n terminals from the server storage space corresponding to the target account at the synchronization time needing synchronization. The synchronization time needing synchronization includes but is not limited to: the method comprises the following steps that at least one of the initialization time of the operating system after starting, the starting time of a preset application program, the time when the preset application program is switched from a background to a foreground for running, the time when a view entry in the preset application program is triggered, the time determined by the preset application program at preset time intervals, the time when an update timestamp stored in the preset application program is earlier than an update timestamp in a server, and the time when a file version number stored in the preset application program is smaller than a file version number in the server.

The second terminal sends a downloading request to the server, wherein the downloading request comprises: a target account number. The target account can be replaced by a token, key or other identifier equivalent to the target account. Alternatively, the download request includes: and updating time stamps (or file version numbers) in the target account and the second terminal so that the server determines incremental synchronization data according to the difference of the updating time stamps between the terminal and the server and sends the incremental synchronization data to the second terminal.

Step 808, displaying a viewing entrance of the quick access floating window provided by a preset application program on the desktop task bar by the second terminal;

in the Windows operating system, the desktop taskbar (taskbar) refers to the strip display area located at the bottom of the desktop. Due to the high display hierarchy of the desktop taskbar, a user may quickly access a target file, application, or folder on the desktop taskbar.

Upon launching the predetermined application, the predetermined application may display a view portal on the desktop taskbar that quickly accesses the flyout.

The view entry may be any one of an icon, shortcut, button, or menu bar. As shown in FIG. 4, the view portal 41 may be a clickable object element displayed on the desktop taskbar. The clickable object element has "carry-on document" displayed thereon.

Step 809, the second terminal receives the first trigger signal on the viewing portal;

the first trigger signal may be any one of a single click signal, a double click signal, a long press signal, or a slide signal. Schematically in fig. 4, the first trigger signal is a single-click signal.

Step 810, the second terminal displays a quick access floating window according to the first trigger signal, and a quick access entry of a recently used file is displayed on the quick access floating window;

the second terminal displays a quick access flyout window 42, which quick access flyout window 42 may employ a list control to display quick access entries for the m most recently used files. The list control comprises m list items, and each list item corresponds to a quick entry of a recently used file. Optionally, the m list items are arranged in order of usage time from near to far.

Alternatively, the quick access entry may be a list entry in a quick access flyover window. When the list item is clicked, the user interface corresponding to the recently used file can be quickly started or called up. Each quick access entry may have at least one of a file name, a file type, a time of use, and an identification of whether synchronization has been performed displayed thereon.

Step 811, the second terminal receives a second trigger signal on the quick access entry of the target recently used file;

the second trigger signal may be any one of a single click signal, a double click signal, a long press signal, or a slide signal. Schematically in fig. 9, the second trigger signal is a single-click signal.

Step 812, the second terminal displays a user interface corresponding to the target recently-used file according to the second trigger signal;

the predetermined application program displays a file interface of a target recently used file on a desktop of the operating system. When the target recently-used file is a document, displaying a document interface of the document; when the target recently-used file is an application, displaying an application program interface of the application; and when the target recently used file is a folder, displaying a file display interface in the folder.

Illustratively, after a user clicks a "COM principle and application" file, a predetermined application program calls a word program, and the word program displays a user interface of the "COM principle and application".

In summary, in the method provided in this embodiment, the latest files of the target user on the n terminals are synchronized, and the quick access floating window is displayed on the current terminal according to the trigger signal, where one or more quick access entries of the latest files are displayed on the quick access floating window. The method and the device can enable the user to check the recently used files of the same target account on the n terminals on the current terminal, and achieve the 'carry-on' use effect of the recently used files. The user can view, access and modify on the second terminal even if the user was the most recently used file used on the first terminal.

According to the method provided by the embodiment, the view entry of the quick access floating window is displayed on the desktop task bar, so that the problems that the access level of the quick access interface on the Windows operating system is deep, and a user can open the file to be accessed through multiple steps can be solved, and the user can trigger the display of the quick access floating window on the desktop in one step.

According to the method provided by the embodiment, the quick access entries of the m recently-used files are displayed on the quick access floating window, and as the research finds that the recently-used files of most users are between 15 and 20 files, the quick access entries of about 20 recently-used files can be displayed on the quick access floating window, so that the users can quickly access the recently-used files of the users on different terminals.

In an alternative embodiment, the predetermined application determines that the file was recently used by monitoring the Recent directory. The step 803 may include the following steps 803a to 803e, as shown in fig. 10:

step 803a, reading shortcuts in the most recently used directory;

the predetermined application initiates a thread that monitors the percent directory through an API interface provided by the operating system. The API interface may be a ReadDirectoryChange function that may monitor modification, renaming, deletion, and creation of shortcuts in the Recent directory.

Since the actual storage path of the recently used file may be scattered in different storage locations, the Recent directory stores therein shortcuts of the recently used file, not the file itself of the recently used file. When a user creates, opens, modifies, and deletes a file, the shortcut in the Recent directory is also changed accordingly.

The predetermined application reads the shortcut in the percent directory. Referring to fig. 11 schematically, a file change detection module in a predetermined application reads 81 a shortcut in a Recent directory to obtain the shortcut in the Recent directory.

Step 803b, analyzing the shortcut to obtain first source file information, and generating a recent file queue according to a file corresponding to the first source file information;

and the file change detection module analyzes the shortcut in the percent directory to obtain first source file information. Each recently used file corresponds to respective first source file information, the first source file information including: at least one of a file name, a file type, a file storage path, a file size, and a usage time.

And the file change detection module reads m recently used files and stores the m recently used files into a recent file queue according to the first source file information.

Optionally, the file change detection module filters the first source file information according to a preset white list. The white list may include: at least one of a first whitelist of documents, a second whitelist of multimedia files, and a third whitelist of programming-related files is maintained.

Optionally, for each source file information, the file change detection module determines whether a file type in the source file information belongs to a white list; when the file type belongs to the white list, the file change detection module stores the file data corresponding to the file name into the latest file queue according to the file storage path, as shown in step 82 in fig. 11. For example, the file change detection module stores files with file types doc, xlsx, ppt into the latest file queue.

Optionally, m recently-used files are stored in the recent file queue, and more than m recently-used files are discarded.

Step 803c, reading a shortcut change message corresponding to the most recently used directory;

shortcuts in the percent directory will change continuously as the user uses it. The file change detection module can also read shortcut change information corresponding to the most recently used directory, and the shortcut change information comprises: at least one of newly adding a shortcut message, modifying a shortcut message, deleting a shortcut message, and renaming a shortcut message, as shown in step 85 of fig. 11.

Step 803d, analyzing the shortcut in the shortcut change message to obtain second source file information, and updating the latest file queue according to the file corresponding to the second source file information;

the file change detection module further performs any one of the following operations in the recent file queue according to the second source file information: adding a newly created recently used file, deleting a recently used file that has been deleted, modifying file data of the recently used file, modifying a use time of the recently used file.

Step 803e, the file in the recent file queue is determined as the recently used file of the target account on the current terminal.

Optionally, the file change detection module further adjusts 87 the file order of each recently used file in the recent file queue when there is a file change 86.

And step 804, uploading the recently used file to a server storage space corresponding to the target account.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 12, the file change detection module generates a file change list 88 based on the updated recent file queue, the file change list including only information of the recently used files that have been changed; the file change detection module sends a notification to the document upload management module indicating that a change 89 has occurred to the file in the recent file queue; the document uploading management module generates a file uploading queue 90 according to the file change list, and then calls a network disk SDK to upload the file 91; after the network disk SDK finishes uploading, an upload completion notification 92 is sent to the document upload management module, and the document upload management module notifies the UI module that the file has been uploaded 93, so that the UI module refreshes the upload state of the relevant recently used file.

In summary, in the method provided in this embodiment, the Recent directory is detected by the file change detection module, and when the recently used file is changed, the Recent file queue can be updated in real time, so that the recently used file can be uploaded to the server storage space of the target account in time, and timely synchronization between multiple terminals is achieved.

In an alternative embodiment, when the second terminal adopts a Windows operating system, the predetermined application program relies on a function interface provided by Windows to display a view entry of the quick access floating window on the desktop task bar.

Step 806b, loading the zone object plug-in through the shell process;

and after the Windows Shell process receives the registration of the preset application program to the Deskbands plug-in unit, the Shell process loads the Deskbands plug-in unit.

Step 806c, displaying a viewing entrance of the quick access floating window on the desktop task bar according to the loaded region object plug-in;

and the Windows Shell process displays a viewing inlet 41 of the quick access floating window 42 on the desktop taskbar according to the loaded Deskbands plug-in.

Step 807, receiving a trigger signal on the viewing portal through the zone object plug-in;

the desksides plugin receives this trigger when the user clicks on the view portal 41 on the desktop taskbar.

Step 808a, calling an application process of a preset application program through the zone object plug-in according to the trigger signal;

and after receiving the trigger signal, the Deskbands plug-in calls an application process of a preset application program.

And 808b, displaying the quick access floating window through the application process.
