Abstract
In a file management method of an electronic device, multi-touch operations on a touch screen of the electronic device is detected in real-time. File attributes of operating objects of the electronic device that are selected by a multi-touch operation are acquired, and a file type is determined for each of the operating objects according to the file attributes of each of the operating objects, wherein the file type is a file or a folder. The operating objects are managed according to the file type of each of the operating objects.
Claims15
A computerized method for managing files of an electronic device comprising a touch screen, the method comprising:
- detecting multi-touch operations on the touch screen in real-time;
- determining a duration of time of a multi-touch operation on the touch screen when the multi-touch operation is detected, and determining if the duration of time is equal to a predetermined time period;
- acquiring file attributes of operating objects of the electronic device that are selected by the multi-touch operation when the duration of time is equal to the predetermined time period;
- determining a file type for each of the operating objects according to the file attributes of each of the operating objects, wherein the file type is a file or a folder;
- and
- managing the operating objects according to the file type of each of the operating objects.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a touch screen;
- at least one processor;
- a storage system;
- and
- one or more programs stored in the storage system and being executable by the at least one processor, the one or more programs comprising:
- a detection module operable to detect multi-touch operations on the touch screen in real-time, determine a duration of time of a multi-touch operation on the touch screen when the multi-touch operation is detected, and determine if the duration of time is equal to a predetermined time period;
- an acquisition module operable to acquire file attributes of operating objects of the electronic device that are selected by the multi-touch operation when the duration of time is equal to the predetermined time period, and determine a file type for each of the operating objects according to the file attributes of each of the operating objects, wherein the file type is a file or a folder;
- and
- an execution module operable to manage the operating objects according to the file type of each of the operating objects.
A non-transitory storage medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions capable of being executed by a processor of an electronic device, cause the electronic device to perform a file management method, the method comprising:
- detecting multi-touch operations on a touch screen of the electronic device in real-time;
- determining a duration of time of a multi-touch operation on the touch screen when the multi-touch operation is detected, and determining if the duration of time is equal to a predetermined time period;
- acquiring file attributes of operating objects of the electronic device that are selected by the multi-touch operation when the duration of time is equal to the predetermined time period;
- determining a file type for each of the operating objects according to the file attributes of each of the operating objects, wherein the file type is a file or a folder;
- and
- managing the operating objects according to the file type of each of the operating objects.
