  The file name management method of this example will be described below with reference to FIG. In the mobile phone device, the actual data is recognized by the file name “001” in the storage area 1. However, when trying to transfer this data to the outside of the mobile phone device, it is difficult to understand the file name as it is outside, so the data of the file name “001” is stored in the file name in the storage area 1 and in the storage area 2. Based on the unique information indicating the correspondence with the file name, the file name “sample” separately prepared in the storage area 2 is used, and the data such as the attribute or size of the actual data in the storage area 1 is used. A file called “sample / jpg” using the name “jpg” given based on the identification on the mobile phone device side by the unique information (for example, image data in JPG (Joint Photographic Coding Experts Group) format) The name is given, output to the outside, and stored in the memory area 21 of the output terminal.

  As described above, when transferring a file to the outside, data is output from a mobile phone device to a personal computer or printer via a cable such as a USB, or data is transferred to an SD card or a memory stick. This is the case when outputting to a recording medium for recording.

FIG. 2 shows a configuration example of the file name management system in this case. In the mobile phone device 100, the memory area 11, the information identification unit 12, the input / output unit 13, the control unit 14, A schematic configuration consisting of is shown.
The memory area 11 is, for example, a first storage area 1 that stores actual data managed by serial numbers or arbitrary rules, and a second storage that stores data of arbitrary file names that are scattered or managed in a table. It consists of area 2. The information identification unit 12 identifies the actual data in the storage area 1 using information in the header of the actual data file, and determines the file name for external output. The input / output unit 13 controls input / output of external data to the mobile phone device 100. The control unit 14 controls the overall operation of the mobile phone device 100 including file name management.

  Hereinafter, an operation example of the file name management system shown in FIG. 2 will be described. When the actual data recognized by the file name “001” in the storage area 1 is to be output to the external output terminal 200 in the mobile phone device, the information identifying unit 12 converts the actual data into the file name. Using the unique information stored in the header portion of the data “001”, unique information indicating the correspondence between the file name in the storage area 1 and the file name in the storage area 2, the attribute and size of the actual data, etc. Identify by unique information. As a result of the identification, if the data of the file name “001” is composed of image data in jpg format, and the file name “001” of the actual data corresponds to the file name “sample”, The information identification unit 12 determines the file name “sample · jpg” for external output using the file name “sample” corresponding to the actual data and the unique information name of the actual data.

  The input / output unit 13 outputs the content of the actual data of the file name “001” to the output terminal 200 based on the determined file name “sample jpg” for external output. Stores the transferred data in the memory area 21 with the file name “sample · jpg”. The control unit 14 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit), performs the above-described file name management process based on a stored program, and controls the overall operation of the mobile phone device 100.

  FIG. 3 shows another configuration example of the file name management system in this case. The memory area 11A, the information identification unit 12A, the input / output unit 13, and the control unit in the cellular phone device 100A are shown. 14 is shown. Among these, the components having the same reference numerals as those in the configuration example shown in FIG. 2 have the same functions, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted below.

  The memory area 11A is, for example, a first storage area 1A that stores actual data managed by serial numbers and arbitrary rules, and a second storage that stores data of arbitrary file names that are scattered or managed in a table. In addition to the area 2, a unique correspondence between the file name in the storage area 1 and the file name in the storage area 2, and the unique information storage unit 3 that stores unique information such as attributes and sizes of the actual data It has become. The information identification unit 12A identifies the actual data in the storage area 1A using the unique information in the unique information storage unit 3 and determines the file name for external output.

  Hereinafter, an operation example of the file name management system shown in FIG. 3 will be described. In the cellular phone device, when the actual data recognized by the file name “001” in the storage area 1 is to be output to the external output terminal 200, the information identification unit 12A has the file name “001”. Using the unique information stored in the unique information storage unit 3 for the actual data, the unique information indicating the correspondence between the file name in the storage area 1 and the file name in the storage area 2, and the attribute and size of the actual data It is identified by unique information such as. As a result of the identification, if the data of the file name “001” is composed of image data in jpg format, and the file name “001” of the actual data corresponds to the file name “sample”, The information identification unit 12A determines the file name “sample · jpg” for external output using the file name “sample” corresponding to the actual data and the unique information name of the actual data. The other operations are the same as those in the file name management system shown in FIG.

Next, loop processing at the time of all data transfer in the case of the file name management system of this example will be described. Now, for example, considering the case where the number of registered files in the memory is counted, if the file name is not particularly determined, it is necessary to repeat the following operation for all file names.
(1) Enter the file name.
(2) Check whether the file exists.
(3) Count if there is a file.

  However, as in the file name management system of this example, if the file name is managed by a serial number, for example, the registration management of the file name is performed sequentially, in ascending order or descending order using a loop statement of “for” on the source. Since it is only necessary to confirm the presence or absence of a file, the trouble of registering a file name each time can be saved, and therefore the number of registered files can be easily confirmed.

  The embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and even if there is a design change or the like without departing from the gist of the present invention. Included in the invention.
