Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

As shown in fig. 1, which is a schematic flow chart of a network-based picture storage method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, the method may be applied to a server of a remote data center (for example, a cloud server providing data backup, a server of a public or home NAS system, and the like) and implemented by combining software running on the server, and a terminal may access the remote data center through a network to upload or download a picture.

Specifically, the method of the present embodiment includes the following steps performed by the server of the remote data center:

step S11: the method comprises the steps of storing pictures received from the associated terminal according to a preset rule, and generating picture records according to the summary information of the pictures, wherein the picture records comprise actual storage addresses of the pictures, so that the picture records can be used as an index item, and the corresponding pictures can be quickly acquired from the actual storage positions of the pictures through the index item. The summary information of the picture may specifically include a file name (for example, a name of a picture uploaded by an associated terminal may be used), a time of file creation, a location of file creation (for example, a GPS position when the picture is taken), and the like. In addition, the summary information of the picture may also be a presentation event (scene) of the picture, a presentation character, and the like, which are recognized by the AI method.

The associated terminal may be a smart phone, a smart tablet, a personal computer, etc., and may be connected to the server through the internet, a local area network, a communication network, or even a data line, etc., and upload the picture stored in the local area of the associated terminal through an application program running on the associated terminal. The pictures can be pictures shot, edited, drawn, downloaded from other devices and the like by the associated terminal. In an embodiment of the present invention, the remote data center needs to verify the associated terminal by an account name or the like, and the remote data center only receives the picture uploaded by the verified associated terminal, that is, one account corresponds to one user. Specifically, after the verification is performed by the remote data center, the associated terminal can upload the locally stored picture to the remote data center through instructions such as picture uploading or picture backup (file backup) in the application program; or the associated terminal can also send the picture to be uploaded to the remote data center together with the verification data. The verification process of the associated terminal and the remote data center, the operation of uploading the picture by the associated terminal, and the operation of receiving the picture by the remote data center can all adopt the conventional technologies in the field, and are not described herein again.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the remote data center may be a shared remote data center, and the shared remote data center may build a shared space for a plurality of different accounts (each account corresponds to one user, and the plurality of different accounts may correspond to a plurality of users of the same family, for example), and each account may upload pictures to the shared space through its associated terminal. The shared remote data center may classify the pictures uploaded by one or more terminals of each account, for example, each account has a total virtual directory in the shared remote data center, and the total virtual directory has a plurality of sub virtual directories, each sub virtual directory may correspond to each associated terminal in the plurality of associated terminals; or, the accounts share a total virtual directory in the shared remote data center, and the total virtual directory stores pictures uploaded by the users through the associated terminals.

As shown in fig. 2, the pictures received from the associated terminal may be stored in the corresponding storage area 21 through the file system of the server. The picture record contains some basic information of the corresponding picture and at least includes the actual storage address of the picture, i.e. the location of the picture in the file system of the server. In particular, the above-mentioned actual storage address may be a network link in the form of HTML (Hyper TextMarkup Language) for remote access. Further, the picture record may also include one or more of the following: file name (e.g., the name of a picture uploaded by the associated terminal may be used), time of file creation, location of file creation (e.g., GPS location at the time of photograph taking), etc. The operation of storing the picture by the server through the file system thereof and the operation of extracting the information from the picture to generate the picture record can adopt the conventional technology in the field, and the details are not described herein.

Step S12: the picture records are written into one or more virtual directories, and each virtual directory includes a plurality of subdirectories. And writing the picture record into the virtual directory, namely establishing the relation between the picture record and the related sub-directories in the virtual directory, namely forming a classification index of the picture by the virtual directory and the sub-directories thereof, so that the picture can be browsed and positioned quickly.

The virtual directory has no direct relation with a file system directory storing pictures in the server. Through the virtual directory, the association among the pictures can be more intuitively expressed. Particularly, under a part of the subdirectories of the virtual directory, subdirectories may be further included so as to facilitate classified browsing of pictures.

In particular, the virtual directory may correspond to an account name of the associated terminal, and each account name may include a plurality of virtual directories. For the same picture record, it needs to be written into all the virtual directories of the account name. These virtual directories may be created by the server according to default rules, e.g., for each account name, the server may create a time directory, a place directory, etc. by default. And the subdirectories of some virtual directories can be automatically generated according to the picture records, for example, for a time directory, each subdirectory corresponds to a time period, and if the creation time of the picture in the picture record is not within the time period range of the existing subdirectory, the server can automatically create a new subdirectory under the virtual directory.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the virtual directory may also be uploaded by the associated terminal, for example, when the associated terminal creates an account name or backups a local file in a server of the remote data center through an application program, the local picture directory is uploaded to the server of the remote data center, and the server of the remote data center generates the virtual directory according to the picture directory uploaded by the associated terminal.

The virtual directory may be created remotely by a user of the associated terminal, for example, the user may upload corresponding parameters of the virtual directory (including a name of the virtual directory, a name of each subdirectory, a reference of a picture recorded by each subdirectory, and the like) to a server of the remote data center through an application program in the associated terminal, so that the server of the remote data center may create the virtual directory according to the parameters corresponding to the virtual directory, and establish a connection between each picture record and the corresponding subdirectory according to the content of the picture record (corresponding to recording the picture under the corresponding subdirectory).

Step S13: and responding to the gallery downloading request of the associated terminal, sending the virtual directory to the associated terminal, and replacing the local picture directory of the associated terminal with the virtual directory. Each level of subdirectory in the local picture directory corresponds to each level of subdirectory in the virtual directory.

The associated terminal sending the gallery download request may be a new handset for the user to replace. Or, when the storage space of the old mobile phone of the user is insufficient, the local storage space can be increased by deleting the locally stored pictures and sending a gallery downloading request to the server of the remote data center to obtain the virtual directory again.

In particular, each picture record of the virtual directory may include a download instruction, so that after the virtual directory replaces the local picture directory of the associated terminal, when a user needs to browse a certain picture, the download instruction may be triggered by clicking or other similar operations, and the download instruction obtains the picture from the actual storage address of the picture in the remote data center for the user to browse. When the remote data center builds a shared space for a plurality of different accounts and the plurality of accounts have a total virtual directory in the remote data center, the total virtual directory is sent to the associated terminal according to a gallery downloading request of the associated terminal in the remote data center, and the total virtual directory replaces a local directory of the associated terminal, so that the associated terminal can acquire pictures uploaded by a current user and all associated users (namely users using the same shared space) of the current user, and the local storage resources of the associated terminal are basically not occupied.

According to the image storage method based on the network, the images are stored in the remote data center, and the virtual directory established by the remote data center is used for replacing the local image directory of the associated terminal, so that the newly replaced mobile phone (or the mobile phone with the images being emptied) can conveniently browse the images in the original mobile phone without transferring the original images to the local, and the storage space of the new mobile phone (or the mobile phone with the images being emptied) is greatly saved. Different from the existing mode of displaying pictures by a cloud photo album, the picture storage method based on the network saves the local storage space, and meanwhile, a user does not need to change the picture browsing habit, so that the picture storage method based on the network has better use experience.

In addition, the server of the remote data center may also periodically send updates of the virtual directory for the corresponding time period to the associated terminal. In this way, when the user has a plurality of associated terminals, the synchronization of pictures in the respective associated terminals can be realized.

In an embodiment of the present invention, in the step S11, generating a picture record according to the summary information of the picture includes:

the method comprises the steps of taking a picture received from an associated terminal as an original picture, and generating a thumbnail according to the original picture, wherein the occupied space of the thumbnail is smaller than or equal to a first preset value. The first preset value may be set as needed, for example, the first preset value may be a storage space corresponding to a pixel picture of 128 × 128 pixels, and a method for generating a corresponding thumbnail according to the picture may adopt a conventional technique in the art, which is not described herein again.

Accordingly, the picture records comprise thumbnails, i.e. when the virtual directory is transmitted to the associated terminal, a thumbnail of each picture is also transmitted to the associated terminal, which thumbnail is stored to the local storage space of the associated terminal and corresponds to the local picture directory. In the associated terminal, when a local picture directory is opened, a thumbnail of each picture under the directory is displayed. By browsing the thumbnails, the user can quickly acquire the general contents of each picture, and the browsing habit of the user is better met. Because the occupied space of the thumbnail is extremely small, when the thumbnail is stored in the associated terminal along with the virtual directory, the thumbnail does not occupy excessive local storage space of the associated terminal.

Because the pixels of the existing mobile phone camera are generally higher, the shot picture of the existing mobile phone camera is often more than 10Mbit, the size of the mobile phone screen is limited, and the display effect of the picture is basically the same after the picture reaches a certain pixel. In order to reduce the data amount of the interaction between the associated terminal and the remote data center, as shown in fig. 3, in an embodiment of the present invention, the step S11 stores the picture received from the associated terminal according to a preset rule, and specifically includes the following steps executed by a server of the remote data center:

step S111: and receiving the picture from the associated terminal, and taking the picture as an original picture. The associated terminal may upload the pictures to the remote data center by executing a file backup instruction or the like.

Step S112: and judging whether the occupied space of the original picture is smaller than a second preset value or not, executing the step S113 when the occupied space of the original picture is smaller than the second preset value, and otherwise executing the step S114.

Step S113: the original picture is stored directly according to the file system of the server, e.g. to the storage area 21 in fig. 2. Accordingly, only the actual storage address of the original picture is included in the picture record of the original picture.

Step S114: and generating a mirror image picture according to the original picture, wherein the occupied space of the mirror image picture is less than or equal to a second preset value, and the second preset value is greater than the first preset value. Specifically, the second preset value may be set as needed, for example, the second preset value may be 2MBit. The name of the mirror picture may comprise the name of the original picture, e.g. the name of the original picture in combination with a suffix or the like. The method for compressing the picture with larger storage capacity to form the picture with smaller storage capacity can adopt the conventional technology in the field, and is not described herein again.

Step S115: the original picture and the mirror picture are stored according to the file system of the server, for example, the original picture is stored in the storage area 21 in fig. 2, and the mirror picture is stored in the storage area 22 in fig. 2. Correspondingly, the actual storage address in the picture record comprises the storage address of the original picture and the storage address of the mirror image picture, and the default address of the downloading instruction in the picture record is the storage address of the mirror image picture.

In an associated terminal (i.e. an associated terminal downloading the virtual directory) in which the local picture directory is replaced by the virtual directory, when a corresponding thumbnail in the local picture directory is selected for browsing and no original picture or image picture corresponding to the thumbnail exists locally, the image picture corresponding to the thumbnail is downloaded locally by the associated terminal and displayed.

Because the size of the mirror image file is relatively large, the details of the picture can be presented clearly enough for a common mobile phone, and the browsing requirement of a user on the picture is basically met. By the mode, the picture browsing requirements can be basically met, meanwhile, the downloading flow and the downloading time of the picture are greatly saved, and the user experience is improved.

In particular, in the above-mentioned related terminal, once a certain image picture is downloaded locally, the image picture is stored locally in the related terminal in place of the corresponding thumbnail, so that the picture is not required to be downloaded from the remote data center when being browsed next time. In addition, when the user needs to browse the original picture, the user can obtain the original picture from the remote data center by modifying the default address in the picture record (for example, by clicking a specific operation button in the graphical user interface and the like). And after obtaining the original picture, replacing the thumbnail or mirror picture in the local storage device with the original picture so as to avoid subsequent repeated downloading.

In order to avoid repeated storage of pictures of the same content by the remote data center (for example, when the same picture is uploaded by the associated terminal for multiple times), as shown in fig. 4, in an embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned storing the pictures received from the associated terminal according to the preset rule includes the following steps performed by the server of the remote data center:

Step S116: and comparing the original picture received from the associated terminal with the pictures already stored in the remote data center, and executing step S117 when the similarity between the received original picture and the stored at least one picture reaches a preset threshold, otherwise executing step S118.

Specifically, the remote data center may compare the name, creation time, etc. of the original picture with pictures already stored to the remote data center. For example, when the name and the creation time of the picture stored in the remote data center are the same as those of the original picture, the similarity between the original picture and the picture stored in the remote data center is considered to reach a preset threshold.

Step S117: and storing the original picture to a second preset position. The second preset position is a storage position of the repeated picture, correspondingly, the virtual directory comprises a repeated picture subdirectory, and a user can delete the picture in the subdirectory when confirming that the picture is the repeated picture. Or, for the picture at the second preset position, the remote data center is automatically deleted after keeping the picture for a preset time (for example, 30 days).

In particular, in one embodiment of the present invention, to save the storage space of the terminal, the local picture is transmitted to the remote data center at the association terminal and is determined by the remote data center that the similarity with the stored picture reaches the preset threshold, and the remote data center may directly transmit the thumbnail of the picture to the association terminal, so that the association terminal replaces the original picture in the local gallery with the thumbnail, and the thumbnail refers to the picture with the similarity reaching the preset threshold at the remote data center. The original pictures of the local image library of the associated terminal are replaced by thumbnails, only the thumbnails are locally reserved, the thumbnails point to pictures which are stored in the remote data center and have the similarity reaching a preset threshold value, and when a user clicks the thumbnails, the associated terminal directly obtains the corresponding pictures from the remote data center according to the addresses of the thumbnails.

Step S118: and storing the original picture to a first preset position.

By the mode, the waste of the storage space of the remote data center can be avoided, and the storage resources of the remote data center are saved and improved.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the picture record includes position information extracted from summary information of the picture, for example, position information generated from GPS positioning information when a mobile phone takes a picture, and accordingly, the virtual directory includes a place directory generated according to user settings, a plurality of subdirectories of the place directory respectively correspond to a plurality of different places (for example, countries, cities, etc.), and the subdirectories may be generated according to user settings or generated according to position information in the picture record. The step S12 writes the picture record into one or more virtual directories, including: and acquiring the position information in the picture record, and writing the picture record into the subdirectory of the corresponding place of the place directory according to the position information.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the picture record includes a creation time of the picture extracted from the summary information of the picture, for example, a shooting time of the picture, and accordingly, the virtual directory includes a time directory whose sub-directories correspond to a plurality of different time periods (for example, years, months, etc.), respectively, and the sub-directories may be generated according to a setting of a user or generated according to a creation time of the picture in the picture record. The step S12 writes the picture record into one or more virtual directories, including: and acquiring the creation time of the picture in the picture record, and writing the picture record into the subdirectory of the corresponding time period in the time directory according to the creation time.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the picture record includes a presentation event (e.g., a tour, a party, a meeting, etc.) of a picture extracted from summary information of the picture, the presentation event may be generated by recognizing picture contents through AI, and accordingly, the virtual directory includes an event directory generated according to user settings, and a plurality of sub-directories of the event directory respectively correspond to a plurality of different events. The step S12 writes the picture record into one or more virtual directories, including: and acquiring a display event in the picture record, and writing the picture record into a subdirectory of a corresponding event of the event directory according to the display event.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the picture record includes a presentation character (e.g., family, friend, classmate, etc.) of the picture extracted from the summary information of the picture, the presentation character being generated by recognizing the picture contents through AI, and accordingly, the virtual directory includes a relationship network directory generated according to user settings, a plurality of subdirectories of the relationship network directory respectively corresponding to a plurality of different relationship circles (family, friend, classmate, etc.). The step S12 writes the picture record into one or more virtual directories, including: and acquiring display characters in the picture records, and writing the picture records into the subdirectories of the corresponding relationship circles of the character directory according to the display characters.

When the remote data center builds a shared space for a plurality of different accounts, and the plurality of accounts share a total virtual directory (corresponding to the shared space of the plurality of users in the remote data center) in the remote data center, because the users of the plurality of accounts can mutually view the virtual directory of the account of the other party, the situation can face privacy problem, namely, some pictures of the users do not want to be seen by others. In one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5, each virtual directory is used to store picture records of pictures uploaded by associated terminals of multiple users, and each virtual directory includes a shared directory and multiple privacy directories corresponding to the multiple users respectively (i.e. each user has one privacy directory), and each privacy directory includes a privacy condition; accordingly, the picture storage method of the network of the present invention further comprises the following steps performed by the remote data center:

step S111: and receiving the picture from the associated terminal, and taking the picture as an original picture. The associated terminal may upload the picture to the remote data center by executing a file backup instruction, and the remote data center needs to authenticate the associated terminal (for example, through an account) before receiving the picture, and confirm whether a user of the associated terminal is a user of the remote data center and a total virtual directory corresponding to the user.

Step S116': it is determined whether the received original picture satisfies the privacy condition, and step S117 'is performed when the original picture satisfies the privacy condition, and step S118' is performed when the original picture does not satisfy the privacy condition. The above-mentioned privacy conditions may be set in advance, or the privacy conditions may be generated by the remote data center by self-learning. For example, a picture created for a certain time period, a certain place, or a picture showing certain specific, people, scenes may be taken as the privacy condition.

In this step, the summary information of the original picture (for example, the creation time of the picture, the creation location of the picture, etc.) may be read, or the content displayed by the picture may be analyzed (for example, the scene displayed by the picture, the person displayed by the picture, etc. may be obtained by an artificial intelligence recognition method such as depth image recognition, etc.), the related information of the original picture may be obtained, and these information may be compared with the privacy conditions (the privacy conditions correspond to the privacy directory corresponding to the user of the associated terminal that sent the original picture). The reading of the summary information of the original picture and the analysis of the picture display content can adopt the conventional techniques in the art, and are not described herein again.

Step S117': and writing the corresponding picture record into the corresponding privacy directory. In this step, the picture record needs to be stored in the privacy directory corresponding to the user according to the account name used by the associated terminal that uploads the picture (i.e., the user of the associated terminal).

Step S118': and writing the corresponding picture record into the shared directory.

In step S13, when receiving a gallery download request from a user terminal, the remote data center transmits the shared directory and a private directory corresponding to a user of the associated terminal (the user is identified by an account name used by the associated terminal) to the requested associated terminal, and causes the associated terminal to replace its local picture directory with the shared directory and the private directory. By the mode, not only can the pictures of a plurality of users be shared, but also the privacy of different users is ensured. In addition, the pictures are directly and automatically classified according to privacy conditions through the remote data center, and a user does not need to carry out privacy setting operation on each picture at a terminal, so that the use experience of the user is greatly improved.

In an embodiment of the present invention, before the step S116', the following steps performed by the remote data center are further included: and creating the privacy condition of the corresponding privacy directory according to the instruction from the associated terminal.

Specifically, the application program associated with the terminal may provide the user with input of one or more privacy items through a graphical user interface or the like, such as a single person photo, a photo taken in a bedroom, a photo taken between 22 o 'clock and 6 o' clock of the next day, a photo including a parent or a child, a photo of a specific clothing, a photo with poor emotion, and the like, and the remote data center generates a privacy condition of a privacy directory corresponding to the relevant user according to the privacy items after receiving an instruction (e.g., a privacy setting instruction) including the privacy items.

In another embodiment of the invention, the summary information of the original pictures uploaded by the associated terminal includes privacy parameters, whether the corresponding picture is a privacy picture which is not desired to be shared is identified through the privacy parameters, and the user can modify the privacy parameters of each picture through the terminal. Accordingly, the network-based picture storage method of the present invention further comprises the following steps performed by the remote data center: and identifying the received picture, and generating the privacy condition of the corresponding privacy directory by self-learning according to the privacy parameters of the picture.

Specifically, after the remote data center receives the original picture, the original picture is identified, and if the privacy parameter in the received original picture is set to be not desired to be shared, the remote data center analyzes elements identified from the original picture, such as whether the element is a single picture, whether the element is a picture taken in a bedroom, whether the element is a picture taken between 22 o 'clock and 6 o' clock of the next day, whether the element is a picture including parents or children, whether the element is a picture of a specific dress, whether the element is a picture with poor mood, and the like, and then generates the privacy condition corresponding to the privacy directory of the user according to a preset rule. For example, the preset rule may be: setting a privacy weight value aiming at different display contents of the picture, if the picture which is set to be not desired to be shared contains corresponding contents, increasing the privacy weight value corresponding to the contents, and using the weighted sum of all the contents as a privacy condition by the remote data center, namely confirming that the picture meets the privacy condition when the weighted sum of the contents displayed by the picture which is not set to be not desired to be shared is greater than a preset value, otherwise confirming that the picture does not meet the privacy condition. Through the mode, the user does not need to set privacy parameters for each picture, and the remote data center continuously adjusts the privacy conditions according to the pictures which are set to be not wanted to be shared, so that the privacy conditions are more perfect.

In addition, the remote data center can also combine the two modes to generate the privacy condition: that is, before step S116', a privacy condition of the corresponding privacy directory is created according to an instruction from the associated terminal; and identifying the received picture in the process of storing the picture, and self-learning and updating the privacy conditions of the corresponding privacy directory by combining the privacy parameters of the picture.
