Abstract
There is provided a file management device includes: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and the processor configured to determine a naming rule for a file name to be assigned to an electronic file for a document, based on a format of the document; and determine the file name by using a character string included in the electronic file in accordance with the determined naming rule. The processor is further configured to store, with respect to an existing electronic file, naming rules relating to documents having a common format, in association with the format; and select, for an electronic file for a newly input document, a naming rule to be applied, from among the stored naming rules, based on a format of the electronic file.

A file management device comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory and the processor configured to:
- determine a naming rule for a file name to be assigned to an electronic file for a document, based on a format of the document;
- and
- determine the file name by using a character string included in the electronic file in accordance with the determined naming rule,
- wherein the processor is further configured to:
- store, with respect to an existing electronic file, naming rules relating to documents having a common format, in association with the format;
- and
- select, for an electronic file for a newly input document, a naming rule to be applied, from among the stored naming rules, based on a format of the electronic file,
- wherein the processor is further configured to:
- compare combinations of character strings in documents and compare positions of the character strings in the documents, to determine identity in format;
- and
- select a naming rule to be applied, based on the determination result of the identity in format, and
- wherein the processor is further configured to:
- select a plurality of naming rules, based on the determination result of the identity in format;
- determine a plurality of file names in accordance with each of the selected plurality of naming rules;
- and
- display the determined plurality of file names as candidate file names.
