PATHNAME RECOMMENDATIONS WHEN SAVING, RENAMING OR MOVING FILES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240126720 titled 'PATHNAME RECOMMENDATIONS WHEN SAVING, RENAMING OR MOVING FILES
Simplified Explanation
The computer-implemented method described in the abstract involves saving, renaming, or moving a file based on real-time context data and meta-data. The method includes generating a suggested pathname for the file using the context data and presenting it to the user for approval.
- Real-time context data and meta-data are used to suggest a pathname for saving, renaming, or moving a file.
- The user is enabled to edit and approve the suggested pathname before finalizing the action.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in file management systems, cloud storage services, collaboration platforms, and IoT devices.
Problems Solved
This technology streamlines the process of saving, renaming, or moving files by providing contextually relevant suggestions for file paths.
Benefits
The method saves time for users by offering personalized suggestions for file paths based on real-time context data, improving efficiency and organization.
Potential Commercial Applications
This technology could be utilized in software applications, cloud storage services, and collaboration platforms to enhance user experience and streamline file management processes.
Possible Prior Art
Prior art in this field may include file management systems with basic auto-suggest features for file paths, but the use of real-time context data to generate personalized suggestions is a novel aspect of this method.
Unanswered Questions
How does this method handle conflicts in suggested file paths?
The abstract does not mention how the method resolves conflicts if the suggested file path already exists or overlaps with another file. This aspect of the process would be important to understand for practical implementation.
Can users customize the real-time context data used to generate suggestions?
It is not clear from the abstract whether users have the ability to customize or prioritize certain types of context data for generating file path suggestions. This customization feature could be valuable for users with specific preferences or requirements.
Original Abstract Submitted
a computer-implemented method for saving, renaming, or moving a file includes receiving a request to save, rename or move a file, determining real-time context data and meta-data for the file in response to receiving the request to save, rename or move the file, generating a suggested pathname using the real-time context data and presenting the suggested pathname to a user. the suggested pathname may include a folder or directory name and a filename. the method may also include enabling the user to edit and approve the suggested pathname. examples of context data include a password hint for the file, storage attributes for the file, collaboration data for the file, calendar data for the user, a file naming policy for an organization, real-time iot data, and a topic determined from content within the file. a corresponding system and computer program product for executing the above method are also disclosed herein.
