The location where the actual parking may be located is not far from the date of the appointment. In order to avoid forgetting the location of the car, the car may not be found on the return journey. Therefore, after parking the car, we will use the mobile phone to bring the nearest one. The house number was taken to facilitate the temporary parking.

Although the above methods bring a lot of convenience to life, such photos and videos that are recorded as trivial things will be scattered in the photo album of mobile phones over the years, and because the size of the photos follows the user's pursuit of camera pixels. The increase, thus making the storage space of the mobile phone easier to consume because of taking photos and videos. If you do not pay attention to it, the storage space may be exhausted, and the mobile device experience may not be smooth or even download or install new. The application, or the inability to capture fleeting images, must first delete some unimportant photos, videos to make room available to capture and miss many precious images, but due to time constraints, it is possible I didn't think it was an important photo when I performed the delete action. I didn't think it was a commemorative photo but it was irreparable. Therefore, find an effective way to manage photos to avoid the phone storage space being exhausted by too many unnecessary photos and videos, and to prevent users from accidentally deleting more important photos in a hurry. This is an important issue today. .

In view of the prior art, existing users have rarely arranged the multimedia files in the years, so that the storage space is exhausted and the use is inconvenient, and the present invention discloses a system and method for managing multimedia files by using association relationships. The system for managing multimedia files by using the association relationship disclosed in the present invention is applied to a mobile device, comprising: an input module for receiving an input instruction; and a shooting module for capturing a multimedia file according to the input instruction; The storage module is configured to add a multimedia file to a time stamp, analyze the multimedia file of the storage module to obtain an association relationship, and then use the association relationship to manage the multimedia file.

The system and method disclosed by the present invention are different from the prior art in that the present invention adds a time stamp to a multimedia file when capturing a multimedia file, and analyzes a plurality of multimedia files to obtain an association relationship. When the remaining storage space is lower than the set threshold, the deletion or removal of the multimedia files can be immediately performed according to the grouping formed by the time stamp in the multimedia file and its associated relationship, thereby reducing the storage space of the mobile device. Opportunity.

Through the above technical means, the present invention can achieve the technical effect of using the association relationship to manage multimedia files.

The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments, so that the application of the technical means to solve the technical problems and achieve the technical effects can be fully understood and implemented.

The invention can actively detect whether the device has turned on the shooting function, and actively reminds the user before taking the shooting, and provides the user with the rating or time stamp of the captured multimedia file on the device performing the invention.

Please refer to "FIG. 1", which is a system block diagram for managing multimedia files by using the association relationship, and is applied to a mobile device 100, such as a smart phone or a personal digital assistant. PDA), PDA phone and touch phone, including: input module 110, the specific implementation can be a touch screen or a physical button, such as volume button, home button, open key... Etc., as a function of the shutter button or the focus button for photographing, the time stamp setting screen can also be displayed on the screen for the user to set the time for retaining the file when completing the multimedia file shooting, or to display a rating screen. Therefore, the touch screen is also used as the display module 180.

As shown in FIG. 2, this is a schematic diagram of the rating of the present invention. Taking the photographing as an example, the photographing module 120 performs a photographing action according to an input instruction of the input module 110, and the display screen is displayed in addition to the photographing. In addition to the captured image 210, a rating setting area 220 is also displayed at the edge of the screen, for example, represented by a star symbol or a circle symbol. When the user thinks that the photo is only used for short recording, it can be set in the rating setting area 220. A solid star symbol to indicate that the photo is not of high importance. Similarly, the rating setting area 220 can also be used as the setting time stamp 230. Setting a solid star means that the photo is only reserved for one month, please refer to " FIG. 3 is a table corresponding to the rating and time stamp of the present invention, which is stored in the storage module 140 of the mobile device 100. For example, the storage module 140 can be a flash memory (memory RAM) and a memory. Memory card, Solid State Drive (SSD), or Electronically Erasable and Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM), by reading pairs The corresponding relationship set in the table is used to add a corresponding time stamp 230 to the captured image 210. In the setting of "Fig. 3", when the user feels that the photograph taken is highly collectible, after the shooting is completed, To set an evaluation for five solid stars, the system will add a permanent time stamp 230 to the photo. It should be noted that the above embodiment is for illustrative purposes only, and the user can modify the corresponding according to his own needs. A table, such as a solid star, may correspond to retaining the photo for 2 months, and so on.

The control module 130 in the mobile device 100 can be a central processing unit (CPU) or a microprocessor. When the multimedia file is stored in the storage module 140, a time stamp 230 is added to the file, and the time mode is used. The group 160 calculates the time to reach the time set by the time stamp 230. If the user only sets 2 stars, the control module 130 will execute the photo after the time of 2 months from the photo establishment time. In addition, the control module 130 can also perform analysis according to the multimedia file in the storage module 140. For example, in addition to adding the file creation time and time stamp 230, the multimedia file can also be self-positioning module 150, such as Europe. Galileo, a satellite signal developed by the GLONASS (Global Navigation Satellite System)... developed by the former Soviet Union to obtain a target position in a photo. Through the coordinate position and shooting time, it may be known that the user is already abroad, and may be traveling or For the travel activity, when the user has set a rating of 5 stars for a few photos taken in the area, the control module 130 can It is a very important photo to take photos taken at similar time and place. The photos of the other similar time and place can be grouped through the relationship between the location and time, and the relationship can be used to manage these multimedia files. For example, the rating of 5 stars is automatically given.

In addition, the system for managing multimedia files by using the association relationship further includes a network module 170, specifically, for example, CDMA2000, Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), Wireless communication transmission technology such as 802.11b/g/n, TDS-CDMA or Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) is implemented. When the time limit of the multimedia file has reached the set time, the control module 130 can further move the matching multimedia file to the cloud hard disk provided by Google through the network module 170, or the OneDrive provided by Microsoft. In this way, the mobile device can be used to save the user's operation, and the user can set the less important multimedia file to the cloud space for a period of time until the cloud space is exhausted. At this time, the folder for storing the multimedia file uploaded by the mobile device 100 may be emptied.

Please refer to "FIG. 4", which is a flowchart of a method for adding a time stamp to a multimedia file as a management basis. First, when the user wants to perform the shooting operation, the user selects a shooting mode in the touch screen of the mobile device 100 as in the conventional operation mode, and presses the camera button or the virtual shutter button on the screen. Taking a photo (step 410), after the shooting is completed, a time stamp may be set for the captured file according to the result of the shooting or the purpose of use (step 420). For example, the user may just use the electronic record as a payment record. For the function, you can set the photo to 3 stars, and the system will add a time stamp of 230 for the photo. Generally, the time stamp 230 can be set to the interchangeable image file of the photo (EXIF, In another embodiment, the user shoots the same target for the same scene within 5 to 10 minutes while traveling, but in order to obtain the best effect, it is continuous due to multiple shooting angles. The plurality of similar photos are taken, and the control module 130 obtains a similarity association for the plurality of multimedia file analysis in the storage module 140 (step 430).

As shown in FIG. 5, this is a schematic diagram of grouping multimedia files according to the present invention. For example, the time of image recognition and photo shooting can be used to estimate that the group 50 is a collection of photos for continuous shooting of the same target by the user. Photo 500 is a photo of the user having a rating or time stamp 230, and the photos 50a~50n may be works that the user thinks are less satisfactory. After grouping by the similarity relationship, the photos 50a~50n can be The control module 130 automatically sets a time stamp 230 with a short retention time; in addition to the time when the photo is created, the user can also obtain the latitude and longitude of the location at the time of photographing via the positioning module 150, and the control module 130 According to the comparison of the remaining photos, it can be known that the group 51 is a collection of photos taken by the user during the trip abroad, because the coordinate value display is not in the country area where the usual shooting is performed, if the user has targeted some of them The photo 510 is evaluated, and the same photos 51a~51n are set as the group 50 to set a time stamp 230 with a shorter retention time, or the group 51 is When the rating is set by the user, the photos of the entire group 51 are sorted into the same folder for management (step 440), for example, the folder name can be automatically named by the system [photographed in Shanghai in August 2016]. When the user has not read the photos in the [Photographed in Shanghai in August 2016] folder in the past six months, the user can be prompted whether the photos in the folder can be uploaded to the cloud space for saving. Alternatively, if the similar photos 50a to 50n are attached photos of the photo 500 and the user has not read them again, the photos 50a to 50n may be directly deleted to facilitate efficient use of the space of the mobile device 100 (step 450).

Please refer to "FIG. 6", which is a flowchart of a method for managing multimedia files by using association relationships. When the storage space of the mobile device 100 is lower than the set threshold (step 610), for example, the user can set the threshold to be 500 Mb, which means that when the remaining space is less than 500 Mb, the system will operate as The swap space of the temporary storage of the memory data is insufficient, thereby generating frequent data access and reducing system performance. At this time, the control module 130 reads the time stamp 230 or the association relationship previously added in the multimedia file (step 620). To manage the deletion or removal of the multimedia file in the storage module 140, before the user is prompted to let the user know that some multimedia files are about to be deleted (step 630), and the execution of the deleted file action is performed. The user can select more than the remaining space to the user, but if the user chooses not to delete, the control module 130 moves the multimedia file according to the time stamp 230 or the associated condition to the cloud space (step 640). Whether the file is deleted or moved, when the action is completed, the display module 180 needs to display a prompt message to notify the user, so that the user can continue Shooting operation, or the user can have enough space to install the new application (step 650).

In summary, it can be seen that the difference between the present invention and the prior art is that the present invention adds a time stamp to a multimedia file when capturing a multimedia file, and analyzes multiple multimedia files to obtain an association relationship, when the remaining storage of the mobile device When the space is lower than the set threshold, the deletion or movement of the multimedia files can be immediately performed according to the grouping formed by the time stamp in the multimedia file and its associated relationship, thereby reducing the chance of the storage space of the mobile device being exhausted. . Through the above technical means, the present invention can achieve the technical effect of using the association relationship to manage multimedia files.
