[0009]

The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a medium group name file assigning method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The medium group name file assigning method according to the present embodiment has a file assigning function 1, a medium group name information registration / updating unit 2, a medium group name returning unit 3, a medium group name storage unit 4, and a medium group name designation file. It is composed of an assignment request 5 and a medium group name information registration update request 6.

Referring to FIG. 2, in the medium group name storage unit 4, a file name and a medium group name to which the file name belongs are stored in association with each other.

Next, the operation of the medium group name file assigning method of this embodiment having the above-mentioned configuration will be described.

When a file assign request 5 for designating a medium group name is made, the file assign function 1 calls the medium group name returning means 3.

The medium group name returning means 3 refers to the medium group name storage unit 4 to check whether the file name given in the file assign request 5 for designating the medium group name is stored in the medium group name storage unit 4. If it is determined that the file name is stored in the medium group name storage unit 4, the corresponding medium group name is returned to the file assigning function 1, and if not stored, nothing is returned.

When the medium group name returning means 3 returns the medium group name, the file assigning function 1 performs a file assigning process using the returned medium group name.

If nothing is returned from the medium group name returning means 3, the file assigning function 1 carries out a file assigning process with the medium group name given by the file assign request 5 specifying the medium group name.

On the other hand, the medium group name information registration update request 6
Then, the medium group name information registration update means 2
It is determined whether or not the file name given in the medium group name information registration update request 6 is stored in the medium group name storage unit 4 by referring to the medium group name storage unit 4, and the file name is stored in the medium group name storage unit 4 If not stored, the file name and the medium group name given by the medium group name information registration update request 6 are stored in the medium group name storage unit 4 in association with each other.

If the file name given in the medium group name information registration / update request 6 by referring to the medium group name storage unit 4 is stored in the medium group name storage unit 4, the medium group name information registration / updating means. 2 updates the medium group name stored in the medium group name storage unit 4 in association with the file name with the medium group name given in the medium group name information registration update request 6.

[0019]

As described above, according to the present invention, the correspondence relationship between the file name and the medium group name to which the file name belongs is stored in the medium group name storage section, and there is a file assign request for designating the medium group name. By searching the media group name storage section based on the file name specified at this time and assigning the file with the corresponding media group name, files such as system files are different from the current media group. Even in the case of shifting to (4), there is an effect that the file assignment process can be performed without changing the medium group name designated by the assignment of the file in the application program or the like.

Further, by providing the medium group name information registration / update means for registering information in the medium group storage unit or updating the stored information when a medium group name information registration update request is made, The media group name corresponding to the file name can be changed at any time.
