ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR GENERATING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT FILE IN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17874223 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR GENERATING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT FILE IN ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device that manages metadata of image files and a file system. When a request is made to detect information about an image file, the device reads the file and detects the information. If the image file does not have any metadata, the device generates capture date and time information for the file and stores it in the file system and a database.
- An electronic device manages metadata of image files and a file system.
- When a request is made to detect information about an image file, the device reads the file and detects the information.
- If the image file does not have metadata, the device generates capture date and time information for the file.
- The generated capture date and time information is stored in the file system and a database.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be used in digital cameras or smartphones to automatically generate and store capture date and time information for image files without metadata.
- It can be applied in image editing software to automatically assign capture date and time information to image files that lack metadata.
Problems Solved
- The technology solves the problem of image files without metadata by automatically generating and storing capture date and time information for such files.
- It eliminates the need for manual entry of capture date and time information for image files without metadata.
Benefits
- The device simplifies the management of image files by automatically generating and storing capture date and time information.
- It ensures accurate and consistent capture date and time information for all image files, regardless of whether they have metadata or not.
- The technology saves time and effort by eliminating the need for manual entry of capture date and time information.
Original Abstract Submitted
According to various embodiments, an electronic device may comprise: a memory including a database (DB) configured to manage metadata of an image file and a file system, a display, and a processor configured to: based on identifying a request for detection of information about the image file, read the image file and detect the information, based on identifying that the image file whose information is detected is a first image file not storing metadata, generate final modification time information about the first image file stored in the file system as capture date and time information about the first image file, store the generated capture date and time information, as file information about the first image file managed in the file system, and store the capture date and time information stored as the file information about the first image file in the file system as the capture date and time information about the first image file in the DB.
