ACCESS TO A FILE SYSTEM WITH SEMANTIC INDEXING
A method for enabling the user of an application running on an information processing system to access a set of files organized into a directory tree, by means of an element of a human-machine interface comprising means of browsing within said tree from an initial position to a final position, wherein said initial position is determined based on a correlation between first semantic information provided by the application and second semantic information associated with the directories.
1 . A method for enabling the user of an application running on an information processing system to access a set of files organized into a directory tree, by means of an element of a human-machine interface comprising means of browsing within said tree from an initial position to a final position, wherein said initial position is determined based on a correlation between first semantic information provided by said application and second semantic information associated with said directories.
2 . A method according to claim 1 , wherein said initial position maximizes said correlation.
3 . A method according to claim 1 , wherein said second information is determined in a prior step of analyzing said tree.
4 . A method according to claim 1 , wherein said prior step is triggered periodically.
5 . A method according to claim 3 wherein said prior step is triggered by a change within said tree.
6 . A method according to claim 1 , wherein said second information associates keywords and weights.
7 . A method according to claim 1 , wherein said second information associates keywords, weights, and file types.
8 . A method of saving an open document within said application consisting of using the method according to claim 1 , choosing a file name, and saving said open document in said final position.
9 . A method of saving according to claim 1 , wherein said first semantic information is determined by analyzing the content of said document.
10 . A method of inserting a file attached to an e-mail consisting of using the method according to claim 1 and of choosing a file from among those present in said final position.
11 . A method of inserting according to claim 1 , wherein said first semantic information is determined by analyzing the content of said e-mail.
12 . An information processing device implementing a method according to claim 1 .
13 . A human-machine interface that has means adapted to implement a method according to claim 1 .
14 . A software application comprising means of, whenever implemented on an information processing device, executing the method according to claim 1 .
