FILE ACCESS METHOD, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18467015 titled 'FILE ACCESS METHOD, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes a method for accessing files on electronic devices. Here are the key points:

  • The method involves two electronic devices - a first device and a second device.
  • The first device receives a trigger operation from the second device, which is performed by a user on a sandbox file in a shared interface.
  • Upon receiving the trigger operation, the first device sends an access request to the second device.
  • The second device receives the access request and determines mapping information for the sandbox file based on the request.
  • The mapping information includes a mapping file corresponding to the sandbox file, the path of the mapping file, and a correspondence between the path of the mapping file and file index information of the sandbox file.
  • The second device sends the mapping information back to the first device.
  • The first device receives the mapping information and can directly access the sandbox file based on the mapping information.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Collaborative file sharing and editing between multiple electronic devices.
  • Remote access to files stored on different devices.
  • Seamless integration of files across different platforms and operating systems.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Simplifies the process of accessing files on different devices.
  • Eliminates the need for manual file transfers or syncing between devices.
  • Provides a unified interface for accessing files across multiple devices.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved efficiency and convenience in accessing and sharing files.
  • Enhanced collaboration capabilities between users on different devices.
  • Reduced complexity and potential errors in file management across devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure relates to file access methods. In one example method, a first electronic device receives a trigger operation performed by a user on a sandbox file in a shared interface sent by a second electronic device, and sends an access request to the second electronic device. The second electronic device receives the access request, and determines mapping information corresponding to the sandbox file based on the access request, where the mapping information includes a mapping file corresponding to the sandbox file, a path of the mapping file, and a correspondence between the path of the mapping file and file index information of the sandbox file. The second electronic device sends the mapping information to the first electronic device. The first electronic device receives the mapping information, and may directly access the sandbox file based on the mapping information.
