Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a file managing method for a digital apparatus, and more specifically, to a file managing method which establishes folders according to different file types in different operational modes and store files according to the file type into the different folders.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- As the information industry progresses, information-related products such as digital cameras and digital camcorders are increasingly used in daily life and conventional analog products are gradually being replaced by digital products. Take the digital camera as an example. Conventional film cameras utilize chemicals on a film to record images, which can be viewed after development. However, if a user wants to take pictures with special effects, the user is required to be skillful in controlling the stop, the shutter, as well as the lens and film development. These steps are difficult for an amateur. In contrast to conventional film cameras, digital cameras convert images into digital signals using a photosensor to directly store the image in a memory device. Digital cameras can also be connected to a computer system and store the images on the computer systems hard disk drive. The images can then be viewed on the screen or printed on a printer. In addition, the user can further process the images recorded by the digital camera using image processing software to produce special effects, which previously, with a conventional optical camera, could only be realized by a professional photographer. In some cases, the digital special effects could not be achieved using a conventional optical camera.
- Please refer to
FIG. 1 showing a front view of a conventionaldigital camera 10. Thedigital camera 10 includes alens 12 for capturing an object, anoptical viewfinder 14 for viewing the object, and ashutter button 16 for focusing and shooting. Please refer toFIG. 2 showing a rear view of the conventionaldigital camera 10. Thedigital camera 10 further includes anelectrical viewfinder 18 providing another option for viewing the object, which could be a liquid crystal display (LCD) or a low temperature polysilicon (LTPS) display, and a control button set 20 for image editing, browsing, and parameter settings. The difference between the conventionaldigital camera 10 and a conventional film camera is that thedigital camera 10 provides theelectrical viewfinder 18 for viewing the object or images captured instead of theoptical viewfinder 14 which is smaller in size. Additionally, the user can browse or delete images stored in the digital camera using theelectrical viewfinder 18. - Although digital cameras are becoming more popular every day, it is inconvenient to manage the captured images. This is especially true for up-to-date digital cameras that support various operational modes such as: still image capturing for image files (e.g. JPG, GIF, BMP etc.), motion picture capturing for motion picture files (e.g. AVI, MPG etc.), and recording for audio files (e.g. WAV, MP3 etc.). The present file managing method of the
digital camera 10 is to automatically give each image a file name every time thedigital camera 10 captures an image. The file name is a sequential number instead of a name given by the user, and different types of files will be saved in the same folder, such as DCIM folder according to the industry standard. Even if a folder having another name exists, thedigital camera 10 cannot open it. Please refer toFIG. 3 showing the captured images shown by theelectrical viewfinder 18 of the conventionaldigital camera 10 inFIG. 2 . Thedigital camera 10 has stored image files (DC001-DC003), motion picture files (DC004-DC006) and audio files (DC007-DC009) all stored in the same folder. In other words, the image files are unarranged and difficult to search. Whenever the user wants to find a specific type of file, the files must be searched one by one using the control button set 20, which causes time to be wasted. - Moreover, as compact information products such as digital cameras, digital camcorders, mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDA), and mp3 players become popular; data exchange between different types of apparatuses becomes necessary and must be improved. However, the file managing systems of different apparatuses are not always the same, preventing data exchange.
- It is therefore a primary objective of the present invention to provide a file managing method for a digital apparatus in order to solve the problems mentioned above.
- Briefly summarized, a file managing method for a digital apparatus includes (a) establishing a folder corresponding to a file type generated in an operational mode of the digital apparatus, and (b) storing a file according to its file type to the folder corresponding to the file type established in step (a).
- The present invention also discloses a digital apparatus with a plurality of operational modes. The digital apparatus includes a receiving module for capturing a file, a control module for switching the operational mode of the digital apparatus, a folder establishing module for establishing a folder corresponding to a file type generated in a specific operational mode of the digital apparatus, and a memory module for storing the file captured by the receiving module according to its file type to the folder corresponding to the file type established by the folder establishing module.

FIG. 4 showing a front view of animage capturing apparatus 30 according to the present invention, and toFIG. 5 showing a rear view of theimage capturing apparatus 30. Theimage capturing apparatus 30 can be a digital camera or a digital camcorder. Theimage capturing apparatus 30 includes alens 32 for capturing an image, anoptical viewfinder 34 for viewing the object, anelectrical viewfinder 36 which can be an LCD or an LTPS display for providing another option for viewing the object, and a control button set 38 for image editing, browsing, and parameter settings. Thecontrol button set 38 has ahot key 40 for browsing images stored in a folder for a specific file type or transmitting the images stored in the folder for the specific file type to other digital apparatuses when pressed. Theimage capturing apparatus 30 further includes anoperational mode button 42 for selecting the operation mode. - Please refer to
FIG. 6 showing a block diagram of theimage capturing apparatus 30. Theimage capturing apparatus 30 further includes an image capturingmodule 43 comprising alens 32 and aphotosensor 44 for converting optical signals received by thelens 32 into electrical signals. Thephotosensor 44 can be a plurality of charge coupled devices (CCD) or a plurality of complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) devices with the numbers of devices being directly proportional to the resolution of image. Theimage capturing apparatus 30 further includes arecording module 45 for receiving audio signals, acontrol unit 46 for processing the image signals from thephotosensor 44 and the audio signals from therecording module 45 as well as for controlling the operation of theimage capturing apparatus 30. Additionally, thecontrol unit 46 includes a folder-establishingmodule 47 for generating folders according to different file types under different operational modes. Theimage capturing apparatus 30 further includes amemory 48 for storing image files, motion picture files, and audio files. Thememory 48 can be a flash memory such as CF or SD card, a read-only memory such as an optical disk or a microdrive. A transmittingmodule 50 is included to transmit data using the USB or IEEE1394 wired protocols or else wirelessly through infrared or bluetooth™. - Please refer to
FIG. 7 showing a flowchart of the file managing method for theimage capturing apparatus 30 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The flowchart contains the following steps: - Step 100: Press the
operational mode button 42 to select the operational mode of theimage capturing apparatus 30. - Step 102: Establish a folder in the
memory 48 of theimage capturing apparatus 30 according to a file type corresponding to the operational mode selected inStep 100. - Step 104: Store files captured by the
image capturing apparatus 30 to the folder established inStep 102 according to the file type. - More specifically, the user can determine the operational mode by pressing the
operational mode button 42. The operational mode can be typical picture mode, motion picture mode, or recording mode. When the user determines the operational mode by pressing theoperational mode button 42, the folder-establishingmodule 47 of thecontrol unit 46 automatically establishes a folder in thememory 48 of theimage capturing apparatus 30 according to a file type corresponding to the operational mode selected inStep 100. For example, if the user selects typical picture mode by pressing theoperational mode button 42, the folder-establishingmodule 47 automatically establishes a folder for image files (such as JPG, GIF, BMP etc.) in thememory 48 of theimage capturing apparatus 30. If the user selects motion picture mode, the folder-establishingmodule 47 automatically establishes a folder for motion picture files (such as AVI, MPG etc.) in thememory 48 of theimage capturing apparatus 30. And if the user selects recording mode, the folder-establishingmodule 47 automatically establishes a folder for audio files (such as WAV, MP3 etc.) in thememory 48 of theimage capturing apparatus 30. Please refer toFIG. 8 showing the folders stored in thememory 48 of theimage capturing apparatus 30 corresponding to the different operational modes. Assume that the folder-establishingmodule 47 establishes a “My Picture Files” folder for typical picture mode, a “My Motion Picture Files” folder for motion picture mode, and a “My Audio Files” folder for recording mode in thememory 48 of theimage capturing apparatus 30. It is then able to store files to these corresponding folders. For example, DC001-DC003 are image files, DC004-DC005 are motion picture files, and DC007-DC008 are audio files. - The files generated by the
image capturing apparatus 30 can be image files in typical picture mode, motion picture files in motion picture mode, or audio files in recording mode, and these files are automatically classified and stored in folders corresponding to their file types by comparing file name extensions with the folder name. Theimage capturing apparatus 30 can also receive files from other apparatuses through the transmittingmodule 50. For example, if an image file (e.g. with a file name extension of JPG, GIF, BMP etc.) is received from a computer, theimage capturing apparatus 30 automatically saves the file to the “My Picture Files” folder. In the case of a motion picture file (e.g. with a file name extension of AVI, MPG etc.), theimage capturing apparatus 30 automatically saves it to the “My Motion Picture Files” folder. The folder name can be replaced by other names convenient for the user to classify files. If corresponding folders are not already established in thememory 48 when theimage capturing apparatus 30 receives files, the control module will automatically establish the corresponding folders in thememory 48 when theimage capturing apparatus 30 receives files, and will automatically classify and store the files to the corresponding folders. - When the user opens a file in a specific folder, the
control unit 46 uses corresponding applications to open the file in thememory 48 in the corresponding folder. For example, if the user wants to open DC001 inFIG. 8 , thecontrol unit 46 utilizes image browsing or editing applications to open DC001 according to the folder “My Picture Files”. In the case of DC004, thecontrol unit 46 utilizes image browsing or editing applications to open DC004 according to the folder “My Motion Picture Files”. And in the case of DC007, thecontrol unit 46 utilizes sound playing applications to open DC007 according to the folder “My Audio Files”. - A shortcut can also be set up by the
hot key 40 of theimage capturing apparatus 30. When the shortcut is executed, files in a specific folder will be transmitted to another digital apparatus. For example, a shortcut can be setup by thehot key 40 such that when thehot key 40 is pressed, all the image files in the “My Picture Files” folder will be transmitted to another digital apparatus such as a computer connected to theimage capturing apparatus 30. The files are transmitted by the transmittingmodule 50 using either a wired protocol such as USB or IEEE1394, or a wireless protocol such as infrared or bluetooth™. - Please refer to
FIG. 9 showing a block diagram of theimage capturing apparatus 30 transmitting files to acomputer 52 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Thecomputer 52 includes a receivingmodule 54 for receiving data from the transmittingmodule 50 of theimage capturing apparatus 30, acontrol module 56 for controlling the operation of thecomputer 52, and amemory module 58 for storing the data. Please refer toFIG. 10 showing a flowchart of the file managing method for theimage capturing apparatus 30 connected to thecomputer 52 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The flowchart includes the following steps: - Step 106: Press the
hot key 40 of the control button set 38 to transmit files in the folder corresponding to the shortcut stored in thememory 48 of theimage capturing apparatus 30 to thecomputer 52 through the transmittingmodule 50. - Step 108: After the
computer 52 receives the files from the transmittingmodule 50 using the receivingmodule 54, thecontrol module 56 automatically establishes a folder in thememory module 50 according to the type of the files transmitted in Step 106. - Step 104: Store the files received by the receiving
module 54 to the folder established in Step 108. - For example, if the
image capturing apparatus 30 transmits an image file (e.g. with a file name extension of JPG, GIF, BMP etc.) to thecomputer 52, thecomputer 52 receives the file through its receivingmodule 54. Thecontrol module 56 automatically establishes a folder corresponding to the image file, such as “My Picture Files” folder, in thememory module 58 and saves the file to the “My Picture Files” folder. And in the case of a motion picture file (e.g. with a file name extension of AVI, MPG etc.), thecomputer 52 receives the file through its receivingmodule 54, and thecontrol module 56 automatically establishes a folder corresponding to the image file, such as “My Motion Picture Files” folder in thememory module 58. The file is saved to the “My Motion Picture Files” folder. - Because the
computer 52 has a large memory capacity provided by a hard disk drive or an optical disk drive, it can provide other portable digital apparatuses, such as digital cameras, a means to store backup files. When the user connects theimage capturing apparatus 30 to thecomputer 52, since the file managing systems of theimage capturing apparatus 30 and thecomputer 52 are compatible, data exchange between the two devices is very convenient. - Please refer to
FIG. 11 showing the file managing method of theimage capturing apparatus 30 transmitting a file to thecomputer 52. If the user is going to transmit DC001 to thecomputer 52 for backup, DC001 will be automatically transmitted from the “My Picture Files” folder in thememory 48 of theimage capturing apparatus 30 to the “My Picture Files” folder in thememory module 58 of thecomputer 52. In other words, the transmitting end will transmit files automatically to corresponding folders of the receiving end, in order to classify the files according to their types. Similarly, if the user is going to transmit a file from thecomputer 52 to theimage capturing apparatus 30, the file will be automatically transmitted from the “My Picture Files” folder in thememory module 58 of thecomputer 52 to the “My Picture Files” folder in thememory 48 of theimage capturing apparatus 30. - Besides the
image capturing apparatus 30, other digital apparatuses applying the method disclosed by the present invention can also be used including portable digital apparatuses such as digital cameras, mobile phones, and digital camcorders. The present invention also provides file managing and transmitting method between these digital apparatuses. - In contrast to the prior art, the present invention provides a file managing method which establishes folders according to different file type of different operational modes and store files according to the file type into the different folders. In such a manner, files are stored in corresponding folders, so that the files are well classified instead of needing to be classified one by one as in the prior art. Moreover, according to the present invention, a user can exchange data simply using a hot key between different portable digital apparatuses with the same file managing system, so that the barriers due to incompatibility are solved. In addition, according to the present invention, a computer providing a larger storage capacity than the other portable digital apparatuses, such as a digital camera, provides the best means to store backup files. And since the file managing systems of the
image capturing apparatus 30 and thecomputer 52 according to the present invention are compatible, data can be smoothly exchanged between the two devices so that they can be well classified and managed. - Those skilled in the art will readily observe that numerous modifications and alterations of the method may be made while retaining the teachings of the invention. Accordingly, the above disclosure should be construed as limited only by the metes and bounds of the appended claims.
