Abstract
A method of receiving a file including receiving a file and receiving at least one tag path associated with the file. The tag path has a lowest node and a highest node and each the node having a tag vector. The method also includes selecting at least one storage path for which a similarity between the tag vector of the lowest node and the tag vector of the highest node exceeds a predetermined threshold and storing the file under the storage path.
Claims13
Apparatus for receiving a file comprising:
- a receiving device configured for receiving a file and at least one tag path associated with the file, said tag path having a lowest node and a highest node, each said node having a tag vector;
- a path selection device configured for selecting at least one storage path from a plurality of candidate paths, wherein a similarity between the tag vector of the lowest node and the tag vector of the highest node in each tag path exceeds a predetermined threshold;
- and
- a storage device configured for storing the file under the storage path.
A method of receiving a file comprising the steps of:
- receiving a file;
- receiving at least one tag path associated with the file, wherein said tag path has a lowest node and a highest node, each said node having a tag vector;
- selecting at least one storage path for which a similarity between the tag vector of the lowest node and the tag vector of the highest node exceeds a predetermined threshold;
- and
- storing the file under the storage path.
Apparatus for transmitting a file comprising:
- a path obtaining device configured for obtaining a tag vector for each node in the path of a file and transmitted in a hierarchical tree structure, and generating a tag path for the file;
- and
- a transmitting device configured for transmitting the tag path and the file.
