Description

Multi-parameter computer file transfer system

The present disclosure relates to a computer file transfer system, in particular, to a multi-parameter computer file transfer system.

Generally, the cleaning method (housekeeping) of the computer file system is nothing more than setting a schedule, regularly screening the files in a certain directory or folder, and deleting or moving the files that have not been accessed for a period of time. (migrate) to secondary hard disk space, tape backup, etc. Although it is feasible to use the last access time of the file as a control parameter, it ignores other factors. Some important files (such as system files, program execution files) may be caused by the fact that the computer has not been shut down for a long time, or that the application program runs only once every long period of time. As a result, important files are moved or deleted by mistake, which affects the operation of the computer system.

On the other hand, due to few factors to be considered, the existing defrag technology only involves low-level disk volume movement, and cannot move and reorganize files at the operating system level. The optimization effect is still limited.

In order to solve the deficiencies of the prior art, the present disclosure provides a multi-parameter computer file transfer system, which includes a storage unit and a processing unit. The storage unit stores a computer file. The processing unit is communicatively connected to the storage unit, and is configured to calculate a moving score according to a plurality of attribute parameters of the computer file, wherein the attribute parameters are based on the size of the computer file and the storage space utilization rate of the storage location of the computer file , the creation time of the computer file, the time when the computer file was last accessed, and the probability of the computer file being accessed. According to the moving score and a threshold, it is judged whether to move the computer file.

It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are intended to provide further explanation of the disclosure as claimed.

In order to make the description of the present disclosure more detailed and complete, reference may be made to the accompanying drawings and the various embodiments described below, wherein the same numerals in the drawings represent the same or similar elements.

Please refer to FIGS. 1 and 2 , which are a schematic diagram of a multi-parameter computer file transfer system 100 and a flowchart of a multi-parameter computer file transfer method 200 according to an embodiment of the disclosure, respectively. As shown in FIG. 1, the multi-parameter computer file transfer system 100 includes a storage unit 110 and a processing unit 120, wherein the storage unit 110 stores a computer file, and the processing unit 120 is configured to execute as many as shown in FIG. 2 Steps S201 and S202 of the parameter computer file transfer method.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the multi-parameter computer file transfer system 100 is used to manage financial data file systems, such as banks, insurance companies, and stock exchanges that internally store customer data file servers.

In the financial industry, in order to meet the needs of customers, many financial services such as deposits, withdrawals, and remittances are open all year round, and the system for providing services is also continuously operating 24 hours a day. To maintain stability, the system needs to organize and reorganize the storage space on a regular basis. At this time, it may be a non-working day, and some files have no access records due to holidays, and the system will automatically delete them.

On the other hand, the business volume of the financial industry may increase sharply due to special events. For example, when the government implements the bailout plan, the volume of banking business suddenly increases. At the same time, the burden on the file system also increases, making the system due to the reduction of available storage space. The looser standard moves and deletes more files, resulting in unintended mishandling.

Banks or enterprises often need to exchange important information with external institutions such as stock exchanges, joint credit information centers, etc. If such information such as customer files and transaction records are lost, they may suffer huge losses and are of high value. High timeliness, so how to effectively utilize the limited storage space and provide a file transfer method and system with flexibility and functional expansion space is a very important issue.

In this embodiment, the multi-parameter computer file transfer system 100 and the multi-parameter computer file transfer method 200 help to improve the utilization efficiency of storage space and the reliability of file access in the financial data file system.

The processing unit 120 is configured to calculate a moving score according to a plurality of attribute parameters of the computer file. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the transfer fraction can be derived from the following equation:

Where Score is the transfer fraction, e is a natural constant, and a variable t can be obtained from the following formula 2:

where an is the attribute parameters, p _n is a plurality of attribute weights corresponding to the attribute parameters, and _m is the number of the attribute parameters considered in this calculation.

Step S201 further includes: wherein the attribute parameters are based on the size of the computer file, the storage space usage rate of the location where the computer file is stored, The time when the computer file was created, the time when the computer file was last accessed, and the probability of the computer file being accessed are calculated.

_In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a1 can be set as the size _of the computer file, a2 can be set as the storage space usage rate _of the location where the computer file is stored, and a3 can be set as the current time minus the computer file creation Time, a ₄ can be set to the current time minus the time when the computer file was last accessed, a ₅ can be set to 1 minus the probability of the computer file being accessed, and the attribute parameters a ₁ to a ₅ are all positive numbers .

In this way, when the size of the computer file is larger, the storage space utilization rate of the storage location of the computer file is higher, the creation time of the computer file is longer from the current time, and the time when the computer file was last accessed is longer than the current time. Or the lower the probability of the computer file being accessed, the larger the value of these attribute parameters.

According to the above formula 2, the attribute parameters a ₁ to a ₅ are respectively multiplied by their corresponding attribute weights p ₁ to p ₅ and then added to obtain the variable t, and these attribute weights can be adjusted according to the needs of users for different attributes. , when the value of these attribute weights is larger and is a positive number, the corresponding attribute parameter has a higher influence on the value of the variable t, and the value of the attribute parameters a ₁ to a ₅ and the value of the variable t are positive. related.

Referring to the above formula 1, it can be known that when the value of the variable t is positive, and the larger the value, the larger the value of the transfer score Score is, and is between 0 and 1.

It can be seen from the foregoing that the size of the computer file, the storage space usage rate of the storage location of the computer file and the moving score Score are positively correlated; and the creation time of the computer file, the time when the computer file was last accessed, and the time when the computer file was accessed The probability is negatively correlated with the moving score Score (in terms of the earlier the regular time of the computer time variable, the smaller its value).

It should be noted that when the user does not need to consider the factors represented by some of the attribute parameters in the attribute parameters a ₁ to a ₅ , the corresponding attribute weight can also be set to 0; The attribute parameter an and its corresponding attribute weight _{p n are} added to introduce more different factors to determine whether to move the computer file, and increase the flexibility of the multi-parameter computer file moving method and system.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, when step S202 is executed, the processing unit 120 determines whether to move the computer file according to the move score Score and a threshold. The threshold can be set as a number between 0 and 1, and when the transfer score Score is greater than the threshold and less than 1, the computer file is moved. As for the threshold, it depends on the needs of the user and the current status of the storage unit 110. For example, when the storage unit 110 has little remaining space and the user has urgent space requirements, the threshold can be lowered to move more files out of the storage unit. 110.

It should be noted that the computer file can be moved to other designated locations in the storage unit 110 , other storage spaces, or directly deleted from the storage unit 110 according to user requirements.

For example, the storage unit 110 includes at least two storage media, wherein a first storage medium is a disk (eg, a solid state drive) with a faster file access speed, and a second storage medium is a relatively faster file access speed Slow storage space (eg: traditional hard disk). Because the access speed of the first storage medium file is relatively fast, it stores frequently used or important computer files of financial institutions (for example: user's account information, transaction information, policy contract), so as to improve the efficiency of system operation; on the other hand , the price per unit capacity of the first storage medium is higher than that of the second storage medium, so the second storage medium is used to store less frequently used computer files to take into account the economic benefits. When the remaining space of the first storage space is reduced or insufficient, the multi-parameter computer file moving method 200 must be used to determine which computer files should be moved to the second storage medium among the computer files stored in the first storage medium.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, when step S202 determines to move the computer file, the processing unit 120 can move the computer file from the first storage medium in the storage unit 110 to the second storage medium, for example, from Solid state drives are moved to traditional hard drives for backup. Thereby, the available capacity of the first storage medium with faster access speed can be increased, and the storage space usage efficiency can be improved.

In another embodiment of the present disclosure, when it is determined in step S202 to move the computer file, the computer file can also be directly deleted from the first storage medium.

In other embodiments of the present disclosure, when it is determined in step S202 to move the computer file, the first storage medium may also be reorganized to increase the continuity of the files in the first storage medium by moving the computer file.

In other embodiments of the present disclosure, the computer file further includes a transferable parameter, and step S202 further includes determining not to transfer the computer file if the transferable parameter is not transferable. At this time, the movable score Score can be obtained from the following formula 3: [Formula 3]

Among them, a ₀ is the movable parameter, and the default value is 0. If the computer file is a non-movable file (for example: system file, program execution file or other important files), it can be set to 1. In this way, the transfer score Score of the unmovable file will be greater than 1, so it will not meet the condition that the transfer score Score is greater than the threshold and less than 1, and is moved by the processing unit 120 . On the other hand, when the moveable parameter a ₀ is 0, the calculation and determination mechanism of the foregoing embodiment can also be operated to determine whether the computer file should be moved.

It should be noted that the transferable parameter a ₀ can be set by the user, and the processing unit 120 can also set the computer file that meets certain conditions before executing the multi-parameter computer file transfer method. For example, you can set the transferable parameter a ₀ of a computer file that is known to be undeletable, such as dll, exe, etc., to be 1, then the computer file will not be moved by the multi-parameter computer file transfer method or system. Judgment that it needs to be moved.

The multi-parameter computer file transfer method and system proposed in this disclosure document has the technical characteristics of considering various computer files and storage space attributes, introducing a number of factors, and further judging whether or not to transfer the computer files. In addition to having more flexibility in the existing technology, it can also be applied to the cleaning and moving of operating system files, making the use of storage space more efficient.

Since the present disclosure has the above technical features, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the multi-parameter computer file transfer method and system are applied to a financial data file system. The user can manually set the file attribute parameters, such as setting the movable parameter a ₀ of the file containing a specific word in the file name to 1; or introduce other considerations, such as adding a new attribute parameter, so that the file in a specific folder can be moved. Files are less likely to be moved, etc., in order to meet the needs of financial data files with high value and high timeliness.

Although several embodiments are described above as examples, the multi-parameter computer file transfer system and multi-parameter computer file transfer method proposed in this disclosure can also be implemented by other systems, hardware, software, storage media or combinations thereof. Therefore, the protection scope of this disclosure should not be limited to the specific implementations described in the embodiments of this disclosure, but should be defined by the scope of the appended claims.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art to which this disclosure pertains that various modifications and changes can be made in the structure of the present disclosure without departing from the scope or spirit of the present disclosure. In view of the foregoing, the protection scope of the present disclosure also covers the modifications and changes made within the scope of the appended claims.
