Detailed Description
The objects and functions of the present invention and methods for achieving these objects and functions will be elucidated by referring to exemplary embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments disclosed below; this may be implemented in different forms. The essence of the description is merely to aid one skilled in the relevant art in comprehensively understanding the specific details of the invention.
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same reference numerals represent the same or similar components, or the same or similar steps.
FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a system framework diagram of an exemplary data expansion method according to one embodiment of the invention; referring to fig. 1, the method includes:
step 101: the capacity expansion program judges whether the program process of the capacity expansion program is started to run in the operating system of the intelligent terminal, and if the program process of the capacity expansion program is started, the step 103 is continuously executed; if the capacity expansion program has not been started in the operating system background, the program start is waited for according to step 102.
Step 103: judging the occupation condition of the CPU of the intelligent terminal after the capacity expansion program is started, if the occupation condition of the CPU is larger than a preset proportion value in the capacity expansion program, the CPU is in a busy state, and at the moment, the capacity expansion program waits for the CPU to enter an idle state according to the step 104 and then continues to execute the step 105; it should be noted that, judging the occupation condition of the CPU can also be judged by other modes, for example, when the intelligent terminal is charged and the mobile phone is in a black screen state, the mobile phone can be judged to be in an idle state at this time, and the occupation condition of the CPU is low; or in a specific time period, such as a time period from night to the next morning, can be used as a reference for judging the cpu occupancy.
Step 105: after the capacity expansion program is run, reading data types and attribute parameter information of related data from various source data stored in the intelligent terminal, wherein the data types are information for judging whether the source data are audio and video image data, executable files and the like, and the attribute parameter information is a characteristic value of the source data, such as information for resolution, frame rate and the like of video files; the expansion program will also hash the source data to perform a hash check on the source data, and proceed to step 106.
Step 106: the capacity expansion program reads log files of the program, and the log files record hash values, file types, attribute parameters and other information of various source data and compressed data stored in the intelligent terminal memory; the capacity expansion program compares the read related information with the source data to be compressed, judges whether to compress the source data, and if the source data is already compressed data or existing data, the capacity expansion program ignores the compression of the data according to the step 107; if the source data has not been compressed, step 108 is performed.
Step 108: the capacity expansion program further judges whether the source data need to be compressed according to the filtering rules in the capacity expansion program; the conditions of the filtering rule comprise setting the conditions of source data file format, source data file size, source data generation and storage time, source data attribute, whether the source data is data compressed by other compression programs and the like; the filtering rules may be one or more rules that are executed according to a specified logical relationship with each other, for example: if the rule sets that the video files meeting the conditions that the resolution is lower than 480p, the file generation time is half a year ago, the file size is lower than 2MB, and the file format is not in mp4 format are not compressed, executing step 109 when the capacity expansion program meets the video files meeting the conditions at the same time, and defaulting to not compress the source data files; if the source data does not satisfy the above conditions at the same time, step 110 is performed. It should be noted that, the setting of the filtering rule is only one implementation mode provided in the present application, but not the only limitation, and the setting of the filtering rule may be different according to the actual application needs.
Step 110: the expansion program selects a compression algorithm corresponding to the type of file according to the file type parameter of the source data obtained in step 105, and it should be noted that, among the compression algorithms built in the expansion program, there may be more than one data compression algorithm for the type of file, and the expansion program proceeds to step 111 after determining and selecting a compression algorithm suitable for the source data in combination with specific attribute parameter information of the source data.
Step 111: after the capacity expansion program determines a suitable data compression algorithm, further obtaining information such as a frame rate, a resolution and the like of the video file according to the specific attribute parameter information of the source data obtained in the step 105, which is also exemplified by the video file; the capacity expansion program automatically and intelligently judges and selects the proper configuration parameters of the compression algorithm according to the preset compression algorithm configuration parameters under the corresponding conditions or by using an artificial intelligent algorithm according to the specific parameter information of the source data, so that the specific configuration parameters of the compression algorithm are set, and the step 112 is entered.
Step 112: after the corresponding compression algorithm and configuration parameters suitable for the source data are selected in step 110 and step 111, the capacity expansion program performs a data compression work on the source data, generates compressed data for the source data, and proceeds to step 113.
Step 113: the capacity expansion program stores the compressed data file into a memory of the intelligent terminal, and deletes the source data file at the same time; or executing step 114, firstly, the dilatation program transfers the source data to a pre-designated network space or other storage area, and then deletes the source file after completing the data transfer work; therefore, the memory space is further saved, the effect of expanding the storage space of the memory is realized, and the data type of the compressed data file is not required to be completely consistent with the data type of the source data, and the file name of the compressed data file can be consistent with the source file.
Step 115: the capacity expansion program performs hash operation on the generated compressed data file to generate a hash value; storing the hash value of the source data, the data value after the source data is compressed, the file name, the file attribute parameter information and other data into a log file; and then proceeds to step 105 to continue the compression of the other source data files.
It should be noted that, when the capacity expansion program specifically runs, the steps 101 to 115 may change the execution sequence of the steps or add/delete specific steps according to specific situations, so long as steps 101, 105, 108, 110, 112 remain; the automatic compression work can be completely realized; the program types of the capacity expansion program comprise one or a combination of a plurality of program types of APP, SDK, applet, firmware program and system application embedded module which are installed in the intelligent terminal.
As shown in fig. 2, which is an interactive schematic diagram of the intelligent terminal and the capacity expansion software, the intelligent terminal includes a cpu201 and a memory 202, the memory 202 stores a capacity expansion program 203, and after the cpu201 retrieves the capacity expansion program 203 from the memory 202, the cpu starts to perform data compression on the source data in the memory according to the step settings in fig. 1.
