Description

Temporary file occupation storage method, client and computing device

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of computers and the Internet, in particular to a temporary file occupation storage method, a client and computing equipment.

Background

Mailbox clients are important office software for enterprises and individuals. In the business logic of the mailbox, a large number of temporary files need to be stored, for example, the temporary files need to be stored in scenes of storing drafts, importing mails and the like. After the temporary file is stored, the mailbox background processing is waited, and the temporary file is deleted after the corresponding processing is finished in the background. The time when the mailbox background finishes processing and the time when the temporary files are deleted are not determined, and the deletion is performed according to the sequence of the temporary files in most cases. It should be noted that the temporary files are named in a predetermined format including numbers, for example, the name of the first temporary mail is 100001.eml (the name of the format is hereinafter referred to as "number name"), the name of the second mail is 100002.eml, and so on. When the stored temporary file is not deleted, the digital name is in a position occupying state; when the previously stored temporary file is deleted, the number name used by the previous temporary file is in a vacant state.

For example, when the first mail named 100001.eml is deleted, the number name 100001.eml is in a vacant state, and from the program internal logic, when a new temporary file is stored next time, it is desirable that the new temporary file can still be named 100001.eml, and it is not desirable that the number in the mail name is increased indefinitely.

If the above naming is to be implemented, according to the prior art solution, every time a new temporary file is stored, it is checked in order, starting from the first digit, i.e. it is checked 100001,100002 in turn whether it is occupied. When there is a digit in the empty state, a new temporary file is named based on the number pair of the empty so as to insert the new temporary file. However, with this scheme, when the number of temporary files to be stored is large, for example, more than 1 ten thousand, the efficiency of searching for empty spaces is significantly reduced, resulting in a long time required for storing each temporary file.

Therefore, a temporary file occupying storage method is needed to improve the storage efficiency of the mailbox on the temporary file and solve the problems in the technical scheme.

A "modulated data signal" may be a signal that has one or more of its data set or its changes made in a manner that encodes information in the signal. By way of non-limiting example, communication media may include wired media such as a wired network or private-wired network, and various wireless media such as acoustic, Radio Frequency (RF), microwave, Infrared (IR), or other wireless media. The term computer readable media as used herein may include both storage media and communication media.

Of course, computing device 100 may also be implemented as part of a small-form factor portable (or mobile) electronic device such as a cellular telephone, a digital camera, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a personal media player device, a wireless web-watch device, a personal headset, an application specific device, or a hybrid device that include any of the above functions. And may even be implemented as a server, such as a file server, a database server, an application server, a WEB server, and so forth. The embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

In an embodiment consistent with the invention, computing device 100 is configured to perform a temporary file placeholder storage method 200 consistent with the invention. The application 122 of the computing device 100 includes a plurality of program instructions for executing the temporary file placeholder storage method 200 of the present invention, and the program instructions can be read and executed by the computing device 100, so that the computing device 100 executes the temporary file placeholder storage method 200 according to the present invention.

In one embodiment, the application 122 of the computing device 100 includes a client 300 therein, and the client 300 contains program instructions for executing the temporary file placeholder storage method 200 of the present invention, such that the temporary file placeholder storage method 200 of the present invention may be executed at the client 300. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the specific kind of client 300.

In one embodiment, client 300 may be implemented as a mailbox client, for example.

FIG. 2 shows a flow diagram of a temporary file placeholder storage method 200, according to an embodiment of the invention. Temporary file placeholder storage method 200 is suitable for execution in a computing device (e.g., computing device 200 described above), and may be specifically executed at client 300 of computing device 200.

In one embodiment, client 300 may be implemented as a mailbox client, however, a client performing method 200 of the present invention is not limited to a mailbox client.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment according to the present invention, the temporary file may be stored based on a numerical name in a predetermined format, and specifically, when the client 300 stores the temporary file, the temporary file may be named by using a currently unoccupied numerical value, so that the file name of the temporary file is the numerical name, and the temporary file is stored in a corresponding location based on the numerical name. In this way, as for the plurality of temporary files that have been currently stored, the plurality of temporary files are stored in an arrangement based on the order of the respective numerical names.

As shown in fig. 2, the method 200 begins at step S210. In step S210, a request from a user is received, and one or more target temporary files to be saved are determined according to the request from the user. According to the embodiment of the present invention, when storing the target temporary file, it is necessary to search the numerical name of the vacant position (i.e., the numerical name corresponding to the currently unoccupied numerical value) to name the target temporary file, as the numerical name of the target temporary file, so as to store the target temporary file based on the numerical name.

In one embodiment, when a user requests to save a draft mail or requests to import a mail, it may be determined that a corresponding target temporary file needs to be saved. Specifically, in response to a request of a user to save a draft mail, determining the draft mail as a target temporary file to be saved; or, in response to a request for the user to import the mail, the imported mail is determined as a target temporary file to be saved.

Subsequently in step S220, a current detection value is determined based on the first further value.

It should be noted that, according to the technical solution of the present invention, when looking up the numerical name of the empty state, it is checked in a step-by-step manner whether the numerical value is occupied by the currently stored temporary file, and the numerical value to be checked is called a detection numerical value. Here, by checking the number name used by the currently stored temporary file, it may be determined whether the detection value is occupied by the currently stored temporary file according to whether the number name of the currently stored temporary file includes the number name corresponding to the detection value, and if the number name includes the number name corresponding to the detection value, it indicates that the number name corresponding to the detection value is in an occupied state; if the number name corresponding to the detection value is not included, the number name corresponding to the detection value is in a vacant state, and the vacant number can be used for naming the target temporary file to serve as the number name of the target temporary file, and enabling the target temporary file to be inserted into a corresponding position in the current temporary file to be stored based on the number name.

In addition, in the embodiment according to the present invention, a plurality of step values may be set according to a requirement for actually storing the temporary file, and the first step value is a one-step value according to a case where the temporary file is first checked and no empty bit is checked. It should be noted that the first step value is determined according to the number of temporary files currently stored by the client 300, and the present invention is not limited to a specific value of the first step value.

In one embodiment, the first step value is 10ⁿWherein n is not less than 1 and n is an integer. For example, the first step value may be 10,100,1000 … ….

For example, when the first step value is 100, the detected value is detected once per step of 100, that is, each detected value determined based on the first step value is increased by 100 on the basis of the last detected value. The current detected value is determined based on the first step value, i.e. the sum of the last detected value and the first step value is determined as the current detected value.

Subsequently, in step S230, it is checked whether or not a numerical name corresponding to the currently detected numerical value is included in the numerical names of the currently stored temporary files.

If a number name corresponding to the currently detected value is included, it may be determined that the number name corresponding to the currently detected value is occupied, and values between the currently detected value and the last detected value are considered to be occupied here. In this case, step S240 is performed. In step S240, a next detected value is determined based on the current detected value and the first further value, and it is checked whether a number name corresponding to the next detected value is included in the number names of the currently stored temporary file until it is checked that the number name corresponding to the detected value is in a vacant state and is unoccupied (i.e., until it is checked that the number name corresponding to the next detected value is not included in the number names of the currently stored temporary file). Here, the next detected value may be determined by the sum of the current detected value and the first further value.

If the number name corresponding to the current detected value is not included (indicating that the number name corresponding to the current detected value is in a vacant state and is not occupied), step S250 is performed. In step S250, it is determined that at least one target value exists between the last detected value and the current detected value. The target value is an unoccupied, empty-state value, so that the number name corresponding to the target value can be used by the target temporary file. It is understood that at least the current detected value may be used as the target value, and the number name corresponding to the current detected value may be used by the target temporary file.

According to one embodiment, if the number name corresponding to the currently detected value is not included in the number names of the currently stored temporary file (the number name corresponding to the currently detected value is in a vacant state, unoccupied), the next round of checking is also performed by performing the following steps:

first, a secondary detection value is determined based on the sum of the last detection value and the second step value. Here, in order to distinguish the detection value determined based on the first step value, the detection value determined based on the second step value is referred to as a secondary detection value. It should be noted that the second step value is a small two-step value set with respect to the first step value, and here, the present invention is not limited to a specific numerical value of the second step value. In one embodiment, the first step value is ten times the second step value, e.g., the first step value is 100 and the second step value may be 10.

Furthermore, whether the number name corresponding to the secondary detection value is included in the number names of the currently stored temporary files is checked, that is, whether the secondary detection value is occupied is checked. For example, in one embodiment, the last detection value is 100101 and the current detection value is 100201, then the current round of checking actually checks whether there is a null value between 100101 and 100201. In this embodiment, the secondary detection value determined based on the previous detection value and the second step value is 100111, that is, it is checked whether 100111 is occupied. In addition, in another embodiment, in the checking process based on the second step value, the second step value can be set to 1 according to the actual situation, that is, all the values between 100101-100201 are detected.

If a number name corresponding to the secondary detection value is included, it may be determined that the secondary detection value is occupied, a next secondary detection value is determined based on a sum of the secondary detection value and the second step value, and it is checked whether a number name corresponding to the next secondary detection value is included in the number names of the currently stored temporary file until it is checked that the number name corresponding to the secondary detection value is in a vacant state and is unoccupied (i.e., until it is checked that the number name corresponding to the next secondary detection value is not included in the number name). It should be noted that, based on the first step value being 10 times the second step value, in the current round of checking based on the second step value, 9 secondary detection values are generated at most, and the checking is performed 9 times.

And if the number name corresponding to the secondary detection value is not included (the number name corresponding to the secondary detection value is in a vacant state and is not occupied), determining that at least one target value exists between the last detection value and the secondary detection value, so that the target temporary file is named and stored based on the determined target value. It is understood that at least the secondary detection value may be used as the target value, and the number name corresponding to the secondary detection value may be used by the target temporary file.

Finally, in step S260, the target temporary file is named based on the determined target value, that is, the target temporary file is named as the numerical name corresponding to the target value, so that the target temporary file can be stored in the corresponding location based on the numerical name corresponding to the target value.

In one embodiment, the temporary file is an eml file and the predetermined format for the numerical name is xxxxxx. Wherein XXXXXXX represents a number. Thus, the corresponding numerical name may be combined based on the numerical value and the file suffix ". eml".

In one embodiment, the test is started with the value corresponding to the first numerical name (initial value), i.e., the initial value is taken as the first tested value. Before performing step S220, an initial numerical value is first determined, and then it is checked whether a numerical name corresponding to the initial numerical value is included in the numerical names of the currently stored temporary files. If included (indicating that the initial value is occupied), then a second detected value is determined further based on the sum of the initial value and the first step value, if the second detected value is also occupied, then a third detected value is determined … … further based on the sum of the second detected value and the first step value, and so on.

For example, the first further value is 100, the first numerical designation is 100001, eml, and the first numerical designation corresponds to an initial value (first test value) of 100001. Then, the second detected value is 100101 and the second detected value is 100201.

It should be noted that, for the case that a plurality of target temporary files need to be stored simultaneously, that is, when a plurality of target temporary files are included, after determining a target value, it may be continuously checked whether consecutive numerical values subsequent to the target value are occupied (that is, it is checked whether a numerical name corresponding to the consecutive numerical values subsequent to the target value is included in the numerical names of the currently stored temporary files), and if not occupied, the plurality of target temporary files may be sequentially named as the target value and a numerical name corresponding to one or more numerical values subsequent to the target value, so that the plurality of target temporary files may be stored in adjacent locations based on the numerical names corresponding to the consecutive numerical values. In addition, the whole checking process does not need to be executed on each target temporary file, and occupation storage time of a plurality of target temporary files is saved.

It should also be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned two-step value setting process of performing two-step search, and in some embodiments of the present invention, a multi-step value may be set, that is, based on the second step value, further checking may be performed based on the third step value, so that the range of the target value may be gradually narrowed, and the vacancy value at the front of the ranking may be found as much as possible.

Fig. 3 shows a schematic diagram of a client 300 according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 3, the client 300 includes a receiving module 310, a checking module 320, and a storing module 330, which are connected in sequence. Client 300 may be implemented, for example, as a mailbox client, although the invention is not limited to a particular category of client 300.

The receiving module 310 is configured to receive a request from a user, and determine a target temporary file that needs to be saved. The checking module 320 determines a current detection value based on the first step value and checks whether a number name corresponding to the current detection value is included in the number names of the currently stored temporary files. If so, determining a next detected value based on the current detected value and the first further value, and checking whether a number name corresponding to the next detected value is included in the number names of the currently stored temporary files. If not, it is determined that at least one target value exists between the last detected value and the current detected value. The storage module 330 names the target temporary file based on the determined target value so as to store the target temporary file based on the number name corresponding to the target value.

It should be noted that the receiving module 310 may specifically execute the step S210 of the method 200, the checking module 320 may specifically execute the steps S220 to S250, and the storing module 330 may execute the step S260. Here, the specific execution logic of the receiving module 310, the checking module 320, and the storing module 330 is as described in the foregoing description of the method 200, and is not described herein again.

According to the temporary file occupation storage scheme, the unoccupied number names can be quickly found in a stepping retrieval mode, and the temporary file is named based on the unoccupied number names, so that the temporary file is occupied and stored. Therefore, when the number of temporary files stored in the mailbox is large, the efficiency of searching the vacancy can be obviously improved, and the occupied storage time of the temporary files is saved.
