Description

Object selection method and system thereof

The invention relates to an object selection method, in particular to a method for selecting randomly arranged objects in a folder under certain conditions when using a computer or a smart phone.

Object selection is a common and necessary feature when using a PC, tablet, or smartphone, such as selecting a photo or other file in a folder. Most of the current methods of selecting objects are done by single check box, select all or radio box, but if the selected objects are arranged in the folder, they are not continuous. The selection is more troublesome. The disadvantages of the above three methods are as follows: Check box: If there are many files, no matter whether the files to be selected are continuous, you need to input multiple times to select 50 files among 100 files. For files, it takes 50 inputs.

Select all: When 50 files are selected from 100 files, 50 unselection inputs are required after all selections.

Radio box: You need to group in advance, that is, you need to group 50 files before you can select them. If you change the filter condition, you need to regroup to achieve the same effect, but the screening conditions are sometimes difficult. Defined through the system.

It can be seen from the above that when the object selection is performed, when the conditions for selecting objects are complicated, and the objects to be selected are not continuously arranged in the folder, the current selection method cannot be selected through a simple operation, therefore, The inventor believes that there is a need to propose a new method of selection.
