Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate file management by batch-changing all files and directories for the unit of a directory under the control of the directory based on the information of user designation. SOLUTION: A resource E11 in a computer A11 is composed of files F11 and F12. An input means I11 receives the change information of the resource E11 from a user. A reading means R11 reads all the file names or directory names of the resource E11. Based on the change information received from the user, a changing means C11 changes the read file names or directory names. A managing means M11 manages the changed information (such as category name, used additional number, unchanged name, changed name and file identification) on a managing list X11. Further, the changing means C11 has functions for not only batch-changing the names but also successively accumulating the history of changes and restoring the change into desired level between the managing means M11 and the resource E11.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a technique for making it possible to collectively change the names and labels assigned to nodes and leaves in a tree structure for a data group having a multilayer tree structure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At the time of file operation (creation, change, copy, move), it is necessary to specify a unique file name under a directory and operate it. Conventionally, file names under a directory are systematized and changed collectively. Although there was a technique, when trying to revert the correction due to the circumstances after the change or a correction error, there was no history, so it was necessary to restore it with a lot of effort.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention makes it possible to easily restore a name to a past state by holding a record of corrections, for example, for a data management system having a tree structure. It is intended to be.

[0004]

According to the present application, for a data group having a multi-layered tree structure, names and labels assigned to nodes and leaves in the tree structure are managed based on category information and used. A tree structure pipe device provided with a name change means for collectively changing a plurality of leaf names in a node designated by a user based on a designated rule; FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the principle of the present invention for achieving the above object, wherein the names of nodes and leaves changed by means can be restored.

The computer A11 includes an input unit I11, a change unit C11, a read unit R11, a management unit M11, and a management book X.
11 is comprised. The resource E11 includes a file F11 and a file F12. Note that the file F11 and the file F12 may be normal files or directory files. According to the above configuration, the input unit I1
1 receives change information of the resource E11 from the user. The reading means R11 reads all the file names or directory names of the resource E11. The change unit C11 changes the file name or the directory name based on the change information received from the user for the read file name or the directory name. The management means M11 manages the changed information (category name, used serial number, name before and after change, file identification) in the management book X11.

[0006]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The outline of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The computer A11 includes an input unit I11, a change unit C11, a read unit R11, a management unit M11, and a management book X11. The resource E11 includes a file F11 and a file F12. According to the above configuration, the input unit I11 receives change information (directory name, category name, serial number, processing type, processing target, processing range) of the resource E11 from the user, and calls the reading unit R11. The reading means R11 reads all the file names (F11, F12) of the resource E11 and calls the conversion means C11. The changing means C11 reads the read file name (F1
1, F12) is changed based on the change information (category name, serial number) received from the user (category name +
And the management unit M11 is called. Change means C11
Renames files that do not fit in the category system under the directory. The management means M11 stores and manages the changed information (category name, used serial number, name before and after change, name after change, file identification) in the management book X11. The information in the management book X11 is displayed by the input unit I11 and is used by the change unit C11 as continuation information at the time of allocation. The file may be a normal file or a directory file.

[0007] The changing means C11 is composed of the managing means M11 and the resource E.
11 and has a function of sequentially adding not only a simple change but also a history of changes and restoring the change to a desired level. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the batch change of the present invention. Here, a description will be given of batch change of directory name (designating a directory as a target). It is assumed that the image directory of the resource (before change) E21 is input, the video is specified as the category name, 1 is specified as the serial number, and the names of all the directories under the image are changed (all the subordinates are specified in the range). The input means I21 uses the reading means R21 to read the directory names A1, A2, A3 and B2 under the image directory of the resource (before change) E21, and uses the change means C21 to read the resource (after change) E22. In this way, the directory names under the image directory are changed collectively so as to be video 1, video 2, video 3, and video 4. At this time, a management book X21 is created under the image directory by using the management means M21, and the correspondence between the directory names before and after the change is managed.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing resources to be collectively changed according to the present invention. Resource E31 is A (directory) is B
(Directory), C (directory) and F1 (file), B (directory) is composed of D (directory) and F2 (file), and C (directory) is E (directory) and F3 (file). ), And D (directory) is F4 (file)
And E (directory) is composed of F5 (file). In this configuration, when change information (directory name: A, processing target: directory, processing range: all subordinates) is specified, the resources to be processed are directories B, C, D, and E. Change information (directory name: A, processing target: directory, processing range:
If (omitted) is specified, the resources to be processed are B and C
Directory. Change information (directory name:
A, processing target: file, processing range: all subordinates) are specified, the processing target resources are F1, F2, F3, F
4, F5 file. When change information (directory name: A, processing target: file, processing range: omitted) is specified, the resource to be processed is only the file of F1.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing another example of the batch change according to the present invention. Here, the batch change of the file name (designating the file as the target) will be described. Resources (before change) E4
It is assumed that one image directory is input, a video is designated as a category name, and 1 is designated as a serial number, and the names of all files are changed. Note that a reading unit, a managing unit, and a changing unit are used, but are omitted in the description here. The input means I41 uses the reading means to read resources (before change) E4
1, the file name under the image directory, A1. JP
G, A2. GIF, B1. The JPG is read, and the file name under the image directory is changed to “1. JPG, video2. GI
F, video3. Batch change to become JPG. At this time, the management book X41 is created under the image directory by using the management means, and the correspondence between the file names before and after the change is managed.

[0010] By specifying 1 as an additional number, names are re-assigned to all files under the directory. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing another example of the batch change of the present invention. Here, a description will be given of the batch change of the file name (designating a file as a target). However, the difference from FIG. 4 is that the directory name before change already has a file name that has been categorized. By inputting the image directory of the resource (before change) E51, based on the information already managed,
Only file names that do not match the category are changed collectively. Note that a reading unit, a managing unit, and a changing unit are used, but are omitted in the description here. The input means I51 displays information (category name: video, additional number: 3) managed in the management book by referring to the management book X51 using the management means. At this time, since up to 2 is used as an additional number, 3 is displayed. The user simply changes the displayed information as needed (here, the displayed content is used as it is), and the input means I51 uses the reading means to read the image directory of the resource (before change) E51. Subordinate file names and images JPG, video2. GI
F, A3. The JPG is read, and the file name under the image directory is changed to the image 1. JPG, video2. 2. GIF, video JP
Batch change to G. At this time, the correspondence between the file names before and after the change is managed in the management book X52 under the image directory using the management means. In FIG.
Only files (A3.JPG) that do not conform to the category name system under the directory are subject to name assignment.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of restoration according to the present invention. Here, the restoration of the file name is explained.
Since the same restoration is performed for the directory, the description is omitted. By inputting the image directory of the resource (before restoration) E61 and selecting restoration, the file names under the directory are restored to the file names before batch change. The input means I61-a displays a restoration menu I61-b when the restoration is selected. Restore menu I61
In -b, the name after the change (the current file name) and the original name (the file name before the change) managed by the management book X61 are displayed, and the user selects the file name to be restored. Resource (Before Restoration) File Name and Image under Image Directory of E61 JPG, video2. GIF, A3. JPG
Is the video 1. Resources (after restoration) by JPG restoration request
The file name under the image directory is A as in E62
1. JPG, video2. 2. GIF, video JPG.
When restoring, a reading unit, a managing unit, and a changing unit are used, but are omitted. Restoration is used when restoring a file name that has been changed once and has meaning. For example, there are a file linked by HTML, a document file having a link relationship with a word processor, and the like.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a management book according to the present invention. Computer A71 has resources E71 and E72,
The resource E71 is stored under the management directory X7 under the directory of images.
1 exists, and the category number used in the video is 3
Manage that is used until. Based on this management information, the files under the image directory are the images 1. JP
G, video2. 2. GIF, video JPG. The resource E72 manages that the management book X72 exists under the directory of documents, and that the category number is used up to 2 in the document. Based on this management information, the files under the document directory are the documents 1. TXT, Document2. It indicates that it has been changed to TXT. ABC. TXT indicates a file created after the batch change, and becomes a target of the next batch change. FIG.
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a configuration of a management book of the present invention. Management book X8
1 is composed of category information X82 and file name information X83. The category information X82 manages category names and used serial numbers. The file name information X83 manages the original file name or directory name, the changed file name or directory name, and the file identification for identifying the directory name or the file name. Even if a batch change is made to the same file name or directory name, only the changed name is changed, and the original name is not changed by the batch change. This is so that the original file name or directory name can be restored regardless of how many times the file name or directory name is changed.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a change procedure of the present invention. In the description of this flowchart, S
The number following "" indicates a step number. [S91] A menu for inputting the batch change information is output.
