  The partition determination unit 112 determines the partition set in the data processing apparatus 100. Specifically, the partition discrimination unit 112 discriminates between a partition set in advance as a predetermined storage destination and other partitions. In this embodiment, the partition A in the auxiliary storage device 14 is set as a predetermined storage destination. In addition, the partition determination unit 112 determines a partition that is a storage destination of the next data when a predetermined storage space that is set in advance becomes insufficient. In the present embodiment, the partition that is the storage destination of the next data is the partition B.

  In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the storage destination of the next data when the free space of the predetermined storage destination becomes insufficient is set in advance. That is, in this embodiment, when the free space of the partition A is insufficient, the partition B is set as the data storage destination.

  The storage determination unit 113 determines whether data can be stored in the predetermined storage location that has been set. Specifically, upon receiving a data storage instruction, the storage determination unit 113 detects the free capacity of the partition A and determines whether data can be stored in the partition A.

  The link generation unit 114 generates link data that is data indicating a data storage destination when the data is stored in a storage destination other than a predetermined storage destination. Specifically, when the storage determination unit 113 determines that data cannot be stored in the partition A, the link generation unit 114 generates link data to the partition B that is the storage destination of the next data. Note that the link generation unit 114 of the present embodiment may generate, as link data, for example, a data file name or the like to which an identifier indicating link data is added. The storage control unit 115 controls data storage and link data storage.

The data acquisition unit 126 acquires the substance of data from the storage destination traced by the link tracking unit 125.

  The link deletion determination unit 127 determines whether or not link data needs to be deleted. The link deletion determination unit 127 according to the present embodiment determines that deletion of link data is necessary when a predetermined process is performed in advance. The predetermined process is, for example, when the stored data is deleted after being read out, or when the stored data is recorded on another recording medium, and then an instruction to delete the data is received. The link deletion unit 128 deletes link data from a predetermined storage location when the link deletion determination unit 127 determines that link data needs to be deleted.

  The operation of the data processing apparatus 100 according to this embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. First, data storage according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the data storage unit 110 according to the first embodiment.

  When the data processing apparatus 100 receives a data storage instruction, the data acquisition unit 111 acquires data to be stored (S31). Next, the partition determination unit 112 determines a partition set as a predetermined storage destination (S32). That is, the partition determination unit 112 determines the partition A as a data storage destination.

  Next, the storage determination unit 113 detects the free capacity of the partition A and determines whether or not the data entity can be stored in the partition A (S33). In S33, when the free space of the partition A is sufficient to store the data to be stored, the storage determination unit 113 determines that the data can be stored in the partition A. Then, the storage control unit 115 receives this determination, stores the data in the partition A (S34), and ends the data storage.

  In S33, when it is determined that the free space of the partition A is insufficient and data cannot be stored in the partition A, the storage determination unit 113 determines the partition that is the storage destination of the next data (S35). . In this embodiment, the partition determination unit 112 determines that the partition B is the storage destination of the next data of the partition A.

  When the data storage destination is determined, the storage control unit 115 stores the data in the partition B (S36). Next, the link generation unit 114 generates link data indicating the partition B, which is the data storage destination (S37). When the link data is generated, the storage control unit 115 stores the link data in the partition A (S38) and ends the data storage.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, even when the user does not consider the free capacity of the partition A or the like, if the free capacity of the partition A is insufficient, the data is automatically stored in the partition B. In this embodiment, by storing link data in the partition A, a list of data can be easily created as will be described later.

  Next, data output in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the data output unit 120 of the first embodiment.

  The data output in the present embodiment includes, for example, a process for reading and displaying data stored in the auxiliary storage device 14, a process for recording the data stored in the auxiliary storage device 14 on another recording medium, and an auxiliary storage device 14 is a process of transmitting the data stored in 14 to an external device via a network or the like.

  When the data processing apparatus 100 receives an instruction to display a list of stored data (S401), the list creation unit 122 generates a list of data stored in the auxiliary storage device 14 (S402). The list creation unit 112 of this embodiment creates a list of the auxiliary storage device 14 using only the data stored in the partition A. In the partition A of the present embodiment, the link data corresponding to the data is stored even when the data is not stored in the partition A. Therefore, the list creation unit 122 performs auxiliary storage only by scanning the partition A. A list of stored data in the device 14 can be created.

  When the data list is created in S402, the display control unit 121 displays the list on the output device 12 (display) (S403). When receiving an instruction to select data to be output from the displayed list (S404), the entity determination unit 114 determines whether the selected data is data entity or link data (S405).

  If the data selected in S405 is a data entity, the data is stored in the partition A, and the data acquisition unit 125 acquires data from the partition A (S406). The data output unit 120 outputs the acquired data (S407), and ends the data output.

  In S405, when the selected data is link data, the link tracking unit 125 traces the data storage destination based on the link data (S408). In this embodiment, the link tracking unit 125 traces that the data storage destination is the partition B from the link data.

  When the data storage location is known, the data acquisition unit 126 acquires data from the partition B (S409). When the data is acquired, the data output unit 120 outputs the acquired data (S410). After the data is output, the link deletion determination unit 127 determines whether it is necessary to delete the link data (S411). If it is determined in S411 that deletion of the link data is unnecessary, the data output unit 120 ends the data output without deleting the link data.

  When it is determined in S411 that deletion of link data is necessary, the link deletion unit 128 deletes the link data of the data output from the partition A (S412). Then, the data output unit 120 ends the data output.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the user can store the data in the partition B having the free capacity without considering the free capacity of the partition A. Further, according to the present embodiment, since the link data of the data stored in the partition B is stored in the partition A, the user refers to the data stored in the partition B in the same manner as the data stored in the partition A. can do. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, data can be stored appropriately even when the user does not consider the data storage destination.

In the present embodiment, the auxiliary storage device 14 is described as being divided into two partitions, that is, the partition A and the partition B. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The auxiliary storage device 14 may be divided into three or more partitions. In this case, it is preferable that the order of the partitions serving as data storage destinations is set in advance. For example, when the data is divided into partitions A, B, and C, the predetermined storage location is partition A, the next storage location is partition B, and the next storage location is partition C.
(Second embodiment)
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The second embodiment of the present invention is an improvement of the first embodiment and differs from the first embodiment in that data is stored for each folder provided in the partition. Therefore, in the following description, the same code | symbol as the code | symbol used by description of 1st embodiment is provided to what has the function structure similar to 1st embodiment, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  FIG. 5 is a functional configuration diagram of the data processing apparatus 100A according to the second embodiment.

  The data storage unit 110A included in the data processing apparatus 100A according to the present embodiment includes a corresponding folder determination unit 116 and a folder creation unit 117 in addition to the units included in the data storage unit 110 according to the first embodiment. Further, the data output unit 120A of the present embodiment includes a list creation unit 122A. A plurality of partitions in the auxiliary storage device 14 of the present embodiment are provided with folders, respectively. In the following description of the present embodiment, the auxiliary storage device 14 is divided into the partition A1 and the partition B1, and the folder A and the folder b are provided in the partition A1. In addition, it is assumed that a folder a1 corresponding to the folder a in the partition A1 is provided in the partition B1 of the present embodiment.

  In the data storage unit 110A of the present embodiment, when data cannot be stored in a folder provided in the partition A1, the substance of the data is stored in a corresponding folder in the partition B1.

  The corresponding folder determination unit 116 determines whether or not a folder corresponding to the folder provided in the partition A1 exists in the partition B1. The folder creation unit 117 creates a corresponding folder in the partition B1 when there is no corresponding folder in the partition B1.

  In the data output unit 120A of this embodiment, the list creation unit 122A creates a list of folders specified in the partition A1.

  The operation of the data storage unit 110A of this embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the data storage unit 110A of the second embodiment.

  The processes in S601 and S602 in FIG. 6 are the same as the processes in S31 and S32 in FIG. 3 described in the first embodiment. When the data storage unit 110A determines the partition A which is a predetermined storage destination, the storage determination unit 113 detects the free space of the partition A1 and determines whether or not data can be stored in a specified folder in the partition A1. Is determined (S603).

  If it is determined in S603 that data can be stored in the folder in the partition A1, the storage control unit 115 stores the data in the designated folder in the partition A1 (S604), and the data storage is terminated.

  When it is determined in S603 that data cannot be stored in the partition A1, the partition determination unit 112 determines the partition B1 that is the storage destination of the next data (S605). Next, the corresponding folder determination unit 116 determines whether or not a folder corresponding to the folder specified in the partition A1 exists in the partition B1 (S606).

  The determination of the corresponding folder determination unit 116 will be described below.

  For example, when the folder specified in the partition A1 in S603 is the folder a, the folder a1 corresponding to the folder a exists in the partition B1. Therefore, the corresponding folder determination unit 116 determines that a corresponding folder exists. If the folder designated in the partition A1 is the folder b, there is no folder corresponding to the folder b in the partition B1. Therefore, the corresponding folder determination unit 116 determines that there is no corresponding folder.

  The corresponding folder in the partition B1 is, for example, a folder associated with the folder in the partition A1, and for example, a folder having the same folder name as the folder in the partition A1 may be used as the corresponding folder.

  If it is determined in S606 that the corresponding folder exists in the partition B1, the storage control unit 115 stores the data in the corresponding folder in the partition B1 (S607). Next, the link generation unit 114 generates link data indicating a data storage destination (S608). Specifically, the link generation unit 114 generates link data indicating a corresponding folder in the partition B1. When the link data is generated, the storage control unit 115 stores the link data in the designated folder in the partition A1 (S609), and ends the data storage.

  If it is determined in S606 that the corresponding folder does not exist, the folder creation unit 117 creates the corresponding folder in the partition B1 (S610). At this time, the folder creation unit 117 may create a folder having the same folder name as the designated folder in the partition A1. When the corresponding folder is created in S610, the data storage unit 110A executes the processing after S607.

  Next, the operation of the data output unit 120A of this embodiment will be described.

  The processing of the data output unit 120A of this embodiment is the same as that of the data output unit 120 of the first embodiment (see FIG. 4), but only the processing of the list creation unit 122A in S402 of FIG. 4 is the first embodiment. And different. Therefore, the process of the list creation unit 122A of the present embodiment will be described below.

  The list creation unit 122A of the present embodiment creates a list of data stored in the folder designated in the data list display instruction.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen on which a list of data stored in a folder is displayed. For example, when receiving an instruction to display a list of data stored in the folder a in the partition A1, the list creation unit 122A according to the present embodiment uses the file name of the data stored in the folder a and the link data. Create Therefore, in this embodiment, if only the folder a in the partition A1 is scanned, a list of data stored in the folder a can be created.

  In the example shown in FIG. 7, for example, when the data 3 stored in the folder a is selected as the output target data, the entity determination unit 124 determines that the data 3 is link data, and the link tracking unit 125 determines the data 3 Is stored in the folder a1 of the partition B1. In this case, the data acquisition unit 126 may scan only the folder a1 in the partition B1 and acquire the corresponding data.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, since data storage is managed for each folder, only the designated folder needs to be scanned when creating a data list and when outputting data. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, processing can be performed at a higher speed in addition to the effects achieved by the first embodiment.

In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, a plurality of partitions are described as being provided in the auxiliary storage device 14, but the present invention is not limited to this. Any of the plurality of partitions may be provided on an external recording medium that can be read by the data processing devices 100 and 100A. For example, when the data processing devices 100 and 100A are general computers, the partition A may be provided in the auxiliary storage device 14 and the partition B may be provided in an external recording medium. The external recording medium is, for example, an external hard disk, a magneto-optical disk, a DVD-RW (Digital Versatile Disk ReWritable), or the like.
