According to one embodiment, the operating system of the computing device 100 includes a bus module configured to perform the marking process 200 of the present invention for files. The bus module may establish a communication connection with one or more applications. It should be noted that, according to the method 200 for processing a file mark of the present invention, executed in a bus module of an operating system, a user can perform mark processing on a file in each application that establishes a communication connection with the bus module, classify and manage various files based on file marks, and after any application modifies an association relationship between a file and a mark, each application can obtain a latest association relationship between a file and a mark from the bus module, and provide the latest association relationship between a file and a mark to the user, so that the user can view or edit related types of files in an application classification manner.

FIG. 2 shows a flow diagram of a method 200 of mark processing a file according to one embodiment of the invention.

It should be noted that the computing device 100 includes a data storage device therein, and the bus module is communicatively connected to the data storage device and one or more applications, respectively.

A wide variety of files may be stored in the data storage of the computing device 100, and one or more files may also be stored in a folder in the form of an established folder. The file is, for example, a document, a picture, a video, etc., and the present invention is not limited to a specific type of file.

It should be noted that the method 200 for marking a file according to the present invention includes a marking process for a file and a marking process for a folder, that is, the file referred to in the description of the method 200 for marking a file according to the present invention may be implemented as a single file or as a folder including one or more files.

It should be noted that, based on the method 200 for processing a file mark of the present invention, a user can implement the mark processing on the file in one or more applications. Here, the marking process on the file is a process related to marking on the file, including marking the file, such as adding an association mark to the file, modifying a mark of the file, deleting a mark of the file, and the like; and sorting the files associated with the tags, such as acquiring or deleting the files corresponding to the tags, modifying the file names corresponding to the tags, and the like. In the specific implementation process, a user can mark files according to the use requirement, so that each file is associated with a corresponding mark. For example, a tag may be added to a file based on the type of file, the importance of the file, the priority of processing, and so forth. Therefore, the files are classified and sorted based on the file marks, and a user can conveniently and efficiently look up and process a plurality of files of the same type.

It should also be noted that the present invention is not limited to a specific kind of application establishing a communication connection with the bus module, for example, the application may include a file manager, an application for viewing videos, an application for viewing pictures, an application for editing documents, and the like, but the present invention is not limited to the types of applications listed above.

According to one embodiment, after a user initially adds a tag to one or more files (the current file does not have an associated tag) at an application request and establishes an association between the one or more files and the tag, the computing device 100 (bus module) may establish a file tag mapping table based on the association between each file and the tag and store the file tag mapping table in the data storage. Here, each entry in the file tag mapping table includes a file and a tag associated with the file. When the file tag is processed subsequently, for example, a tag is added to a new file or an associated tag of the file is updated or deleted, the bus module stores the association relationship between the new file and the tag in a file tag mapping table of the data storage device to update the file tag mapping table.

According to one embodiment, a bus module includes a bus interface, a tag processing component, and a data processing component. The marking processing component is connected with the data processing component, and the data processing component is in communication connection with the data storage device. And the marking processing component is in communication connection with one or more applications based on the bus interface. Here, the application establishes a communication connection with the bus module based on the bus interface and communicates with the tag processing component based on the bus interface by creating an interface object corresponding to the bus interface in the application and registering the interface object to the bus module via the bus interface. In this way, the application can subscribe to and receive messages broadcast by the tag processing component based on the bus interface based on the corresponding object path. And, the application may invoke the functionality of the tag processing component based on the bus interface to request the tag processing component to tag the file.

As shown in fig. 2, the method 200 begins at step S210.

In step S210, the tag processing component receives a tag processing request for a file by one or more applications, determines a target file, a tag associated with the target file, a processing type for requesting processing of the target file based on the processing request, and sends the target file, the tag, the processing type, and the processing type to the data processing component. Here, the one or more applications are applications that establish a communication connection with the bus module. The user may send a tag processing request for the file at any application communicatively coupled to the bus module to request tag processing components in the bus module to perform tag-related processing on the target file. The tag processing component may determine, based on a processing request by an application, a target file for which processing is requested, a tag associated with the target file, and a type of processing requested to process the target file.

It should be noted that the processing type of the file may be a marking process performed on the file, for example, a related mark is added to the file, a mark of modifying the file, a mark of deleting the file, and the like; or sorting the files associated with the tags, such as acquiring or deleting the file corresponding to the tag, and modifying the file name corresponding to the tag. That is, the marking of a file based on the method 200 of the present invention is the marking of a file, and it should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the specific types of processing for a file listed above.

After determining the target file requesting processing, the tag associated with the target file, and the processing type requesting processing of the target file, the tag processing component sends the target file, the tag associated with the target file, and the processing type to the data processing component for processing of the target file via the data processing component.

Subsequently, in step S220, the data processing component performs a marking process on the target file based on the determined process type. After the target file is marked, the association relationship between the target file and the mark may change, so the data processing component further updates the file mark mapping table in the data storage device based on the processed target file and the associated mark, and returns the update result of the file mark mapping table to the mark processing component.

According to the embodiment of the invention, the mark associated with the file comprises a plurality of marks, and each mark corresponds to one mark information. The data storage of the computing device 100 also stores a tag information list including a variety of tag information. The mark information includes, for example, a mark identification uniquely corresponding to the mark, and further includes information such as a mark name and a mark color. It should be noted that the sorting of files may be achieved by marking the files based on different marks, e.g. by associating the same mark to a plurality of files of each type, all files of that type may be processed synchronously based on the mark.

In one embodiment, the type of processing on the file includes updating a file flag, which includes adding a file flag, modifying a file flag. When the processing type is update file marking (add file marking, modify file marking), the target file may be marked according to the following method: the data storage device is queried as to whether new tag information corresponding to the update file tag is included in the tag information list (i.e., tag information corresponding to the new tag requested to be associated with the target file). And if so, associating the target file with a new mark, and updating the mark associated with the target file in the file mark mapping table. If not, the tag of the target file is not updated.

Specifically, when the processing type is to add a file mark, a new mark is added to the target file based on the new mark information, so as to associate the target file with the new mark. And when the processing type is the modification of the file mark, modifying the mark currently associated with the target file into a new mark based on the new mark information to realize the association of the target file with the new mark.

In one embodiment, before the target file associated tag is modified into a new tag, a method for modifying the target file tag is obtained, and then the target file associated tag is modified correspondingly based on the obtained method for modifying the target file tag.

According to one embodiment, when the processing type is to add a file tag, after a new tag is added to a target file, when a tag associated with the target file in a file tag mapping table is updated, it is first determined whether the target file is included in the file tag mapping table, and if not (indicating that the tag is added to the file for the first time), the target file and the associated new tag are added to the file tag mapping table to update the association relationship between the file and the tag recorded in the file tag mapping table.

Finally, in step S230, the tag processing component sends the update result of the file tag mapping table to each application, so that each application can obtain the association relationship between the updated file and the tag. In this way, when a user needs to view a file or edit the file during the application process, for example, the application may provide the latest association relationship between the file and the mark to the user, for example, the association relationship between the file and the mark is presented to the user in the application interface, so that the user may view or edit the corresponding file based on the association relationship between the file and the mark in a classified manner, which is convenient for the user to efficiently view and process multiple files of the same type.

In one embodiment, the application may be implemented as a video application, and associating corresponding tags with video class files may be implemented in each application based on the method 200 of the present invention, for example, associating a first tag with each movie class video file and associating a second tag with a literary movie class video. In this way, a user can conveniently view one or more movies-like videos classified into a category based on the first mark or view one or more literary and artistic movies-like videos classified into a category based on the second mark in the video application. It should be understood that movie-like video is associated with only the first mark; the literary film video file is associated with both the first tag and the second tag.

In one embodiment, the application may be implemented as a file manager, the file manager includes a tag management module, and an interface object corresponding to a bus interface of the bus module may be created in the tag management module, so that a communication connection between the application and the bus module is established based on the bus interface. It should be noted, however, that the present invention is not limited to a particular category of each application. The application may also be implemented as an application for viewing pictures, an application for editing documents, and the like.

According to one embodiment, the type of processing on the file further includes a delete file flag. Correspondingly, after determining the corresponding target file, the related mark and the processing type based on the marking processing request of the application to the file, the marking processing of the target file by the data processing component comprises the following steps: and deleting the mark currently associated with the target file.

According to one embodiment, the type of processing the file further includes obtaining or deleting the file corresponding to the token, modifying the file name corresponding to the token. Accordingly, after determining the corresponding target file, the related mark and the processing type based on the marking request of the application to the file, the marking processing of the target file by the data processing component comprises the following steps: acquire or delete target files (i.e., all target files corresponding to the tags), modify the names of the target files.

Furthermore, the type of processing on the file may also include modifying the name or color of the mark, obtaining all marks associated with the file, obtaining all marks that the present invention is adapted to provide.

In one embodiment, the operating system in the computing device 100 of the present invention may be implemented as a Linux operating system. However, the present invention is not limited to a particular type of operating system, and any type of operating system that can be configured to perform the method 200 of the present invention to implement the marking of files is within the scope of the present invention.
