Abstract

The present invention provides a cloud-storage-based file processing method and system. The method includes: a cloud server receiving a trigger request from a mobile terminal and the trigger request is a cloud processing task request triggered by the mobile terminal; the cloud server performing a corresponding processing operation according to the trigger request; and, when the trigger request is an uploading request, selecting a file which needs to be uploaded from the cloud server's cloud storage space and transferring the selected file to a target website. According to the present invention, by using the cloud server on behalf of a user to carry out the file processing operations, such as downloading and uploading, it helps the user completing the online file sharing process, prevents the file uploading and downloading processes from being affected by the network access condition and the mobile terminal's hardware quality, and saves the user the data volume of the mobile terminal throughout the process.

Dependent claims

A cloud-storage-based file processing method, comprising:

receiving, by a cloud server, a trigger request from a mobile terminal, wherein the trigger request is a cloud processing task request triggered by a webpage displayed in a browser of the mobile terminal;
identifying, by the cloud server, the cloud processing task request;
determining whether the cloud processing task request is a downloading request for downloading a corresponding file from a down-load target website to the cloud server's cloud storage space, or an uploading request for uploading a corresponding file from the cloud server's cloud storage space to an upload-target website;
when the trigger request is a downloading request from the mobile terminal,
jumping, by the browser, from the webpage to a download confirmation page where the user views related information of the corresponding file to be downloaded and selects a saving folder in the cloud server's cloud storage space,
downloading, by the cloud server, a corresponding file from the download-target website specified in the downloading request, and
saving, by the cloud server, the corresponding file to the saving folder in the cloud server's cloud storage space without saving the corresponding file locally on the mobile terminal,
wherein the download-target website is hosted on a server other than the cloud server;
and
when the trigger request is an uploading request from the mobile terminal,
selecting, by the mobile terminal, a file to be uploaded from the cloud server's cloud storage space, wherein the selected file is the corresponding file from the download-target website specified in the downloading request and saved by the cloud server, and
transferring, by the cloud server, the selected file to the upload-target website specified in the uploading request, wherein the upload-target website is hosted on a server other than the cloud server.

9 more elements

a cloud storage module configured to store files;
a task identifying module configured to identify the cloud processing task request triggered by the mobile terminal to determine whether the cloud processing task request is a downloading request for downloading a corresponding file form a down-load target website to the cloud server's cloud storage space, or an uploading request for uploading a corresponding file from the cloud server's cloud storage space to an upload-target website;
a cloud download module configured to, when the trigger request is a downloading request from the mobile terminal,
send an instruction to the browser of the mobile terminal to jump from the webpage to a download confirmation page where the user views related information of the corresponding file to be downloaded and selects a saving folder in the cloud server's cloud storage space,
download the corresponding file from the download-target website specified in the downloading request, and
save the corresponding file to the saving folder in the cloud storage module without saving the corresponding file locally on the mobile terminal,
wherein the download-target website is hosted on a server other than the cloud server;
and
a cloud uploading module configured to, when the trigger request is an uploading request from the mobile terminal,
select a file to be uploaded specified in the uploading request from the files saved in the cloud storage module,
wherein the selected file is the corresponding file from the download-target website specified in the downloading request and saved in the cloud storage module, and
transfer the selected file to the upload-target website specified in the uploading request, wherein the upload-target website is hosted on a server other than the cloud server.

10 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, wherein the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores software applications for executing a cloud-storage-based file processing method, the method comprising:

receiving, by a cloud server, a trigger request from a mobile terminal, wherein the trigger request is a cloud processing task request triggered by a webpage displayed in a browser of the mobile terminal;
identifying, by the cloud server, the cloud processing task request;
determining whether the cloud processing task request is a downloading request for downloading a corresponding file form a down-load target website to the cloud server's cloud storage space, or an uploading request for uploading a corresponding file from the cloud server's cloud storage space to an upload-target website;
