Abstract

A mobile apparatus and method for processing files. The mobile apparatus includes: a file manipulation unit configured to receive a file operation request including a file path from an application; a file format discrimination unit configured to discriminate a file format from the file path; a file path changing unit configured to set a target file path based on the file format; and a file processing unit configured to process the operation request on the target file path.

Claims (36)

1 . A mobile apparatus to process files comprising:

a file manipulation unit configured to receive a file operation request including a file path from an application;

a file format discrimination unit configured to discriminate a file format from the file path;

a file path changing unit configured to set a target file path based on the file format; and

a file processing unit configured to process the operation request on the target file path.

2 . The mobile apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the target file path groups files by the file format.

3 . The mobile apparatus of claim 1 , the file format comprises a plurality of file types.

4 . The mobile apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the file format is selected from a group comprising an audio file, an image file, a static image file, a moving image file, an audio and moving image file, and a document.

5 . The mobile apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a file management application configured to set an attribute of the file path.

6 . The mobile apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a backup unit configured to back up a plurality of files by file format.

7 . The mobile apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the file format comprises an image file and the file format comprises at least one of file types selected from ANI, ANIM, APNG, ART, BEF, BMP, BSAVE, CAL, CIN, CPC, CPT, DPX, ECW, EXR, FITS, FLIC, FPX, GIF, HDRi, ICER, IONS, ICO/CUR, ICS, ILBM, JBIG, JBIG2, JNG, JPEG, JPEG 2000, JPEG-LS, JPEG-HDR, JPEG XR, MNG, MIFF, PBM, PCX, PGF, PGM, PICtor, PNG, PPM, PSD/PSB, PSP, QTVR, RAD, RGBE, SGI, TGA, TIFF, WBMP, WebP, XBM, XCF, XPM, Raw-type CIFF, DNG, ORF, Vector-type AI, CDR, CGM, DXF, EVA, EMF, Gerber, HVIF, IGES, PGML, SVG, VML, WMF, XAR, compound-type CDF, DjVu, EPS, PDF, PICT, PS, SWF, XAML, associated Exchangeable image file format (Exif), and Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP).

8 . The mobile apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the file operation comprises one or more of creating a file, opening a file, saving a file, reading a file, writing a file, setting an attribute of a file, setting a security parameter of a file, or a combination thereof.

9 . The mobile apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

when the file format comprises a file type, the target file path comprises the file path and a file-type-specific-directory path, and

when the file format does not comprise the file type, the target file path comprises the file path.

10 . A method for processing files comprising:

receiving a file operation request including a file path from an application;

discriminating a file format from the file path;

setting a target file path based on the file format; and

processing the operation request on the target file path.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the target file path groups files by the file format.

12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the file format comprises a plurality of file types.

13 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the file format is selected from a group comprising an audio file, an image file, a static image file, a moving image file, an audio and moving image file, and a document.

14 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising setting an attribute of the file path.

15 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising backing up a plurality of files by file format.

16 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the file operation comprises one or more of creating a file, opening a file, saving a file, reading a file, writing a file, setting an attribute of a file, setting a security parameter of a file, or a combination thereof.

17 . The method of claim 10 , wherein

when the file format comprises a file type, the target file path comprises the file path and a file-type-specific-directory path, and

when the file format does not comprise the file type, the target file path comprises the file path.

18 . A computer to process files including:

a file format discrimination unit configured to discriminate, in case of receiving a file processing request, whether the file has a file format;

a file path changing unit configured to change, in the case the file is discriminated to have the file format by the file format discrimination unit, a first file processing path included in the file processing request into a second file processing path; and

a storage unit configured to store the file in the second file processing path changed from the file path changing unit.

19 . The computer of claim 18 , wherein the second file processing path groups files by the file format.

20 . The computer of claim 18 , wherein the file format comprises a plurality of file types.

21 . The computer of claim 18 , wherein the file format is selected from a group comprising an audio file, an image file, a static image file, a moving image file, an audio and moving image file, and a document.
