Abstract
The present disclosure describes a system and method to manage image file storage that includes a memory device to store instructions and at least one processing device to execute the instructions stored in the memory device to determine a blur indication or a burst characteristic for each of a plurality of files stored on a storage medium, automatically identify candidate image files to delete based at least in part on the blur indication or the burst characteristic, and delete at least some of the candidate image files based on receiving a delete indication.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a memory device to store instructions;
- and
- at least one processing device to execute the instructions stored in the memory device to:
- determine a blur indication or a burst characteristic for each of a plurality of files stored on a storage medium;
- automatically identify candidate image files to delete based at least in part on the blur indication or the burst characteristic;
- and
- delete at least some of the candidate image files based on receiving a delete indication.
A method comprising:
- determining, using a computing device, available storage capacity on a storage medium to store at least one file;
- determining, using the computing device, predetermined parameters for each of a plurality of files stored on the storage medium, the predetermined parameters including a blur indication or a burst characteristic of a corresponding file;
- identifying, using the computing device, a subset of the plurality of files to delete based on the predetermined parameters;
- causing, using the computing device, at least partial deletion of at least one of the subset of the plurality of files until the available storage capacity on the storage medium is sufficient to store the at least one file;
- and
- storing, using the computing device, the at least one file after the at least partial deletion.
A computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processing devices, cause the one or more processing devices to:
- measure available storage capacity on a storage medium to store at least one file;
- determine a blur indication or a burst characteristic for each of a plurality of files stored on a storage medium;
- automatically identify a subset of the plurality of files to delete based on the blur indication or the burst characteristic;
- delete at least a portion of the subset of the plurality of files until the available storage capacity on the storage medium is sufficient to store the at least one file;
- and
- store the at least one file after deleting the at least the portion of the subset of the plurality of files.
