OPERATION METHOD OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR FILE SEARCH, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240330339 titled 'OPERATION METHOD OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR FILE SEARCH, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE THEREOF
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes an electronic device that can receive a file, generate information based on the file's name, create an encrypted version of the file name, and store metadata related to the file in memory for future search purposes.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Communication interface for receiving files
- Processor to generate bit information based on file name
- Creation of a case insensitive (ci) filename
- Encryption of the ci filename
- Calculation of a hash value for the encrypted filename
- Recording of filename metadata in memory
- Search functionality based on filename metadata
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in file management systems, data encryption tools, and search algorithms for efficient file retrieval.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the challenge of searching for files based on case sensitivity in filenames, as well as providing a secure way to store and retrieve file metadata.
Benefits:
- Improved file search capabilities
- Enhanced data security through encryption
- Efficient file management and organization
Commercial Applications: Title: Secure File Management System This technology could be commercialized as a secure file management system for businesses, organizations, and individuals looking to streamline their data storage and retrieval processes.
Prior Art: Potential areas to search for prior art related to this technology include file encryption methods, file management systems, and search algorithms for file retrieval.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in file encryption techniques, data storage solutions, and search algorithms for file management systems.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the encryption process for the filename metadata ensure data security? 2. What are the potential limitations of using case insensitive filenames for file management systems?
Original Abstract Submitted
an electronic device in an example embodiment may include a communication interface configured to receive an original file, a memory, and a processor. the processor may generate bit information corresponding to uppercase and lowercase letters included in a filename of the original file. the processor may generate a case insensitive (ci) filename in which the filename of the original file is expressed by characters of a first type. the processor may encrypt the ci filename and may calculate a first hash value corresponding to the encrypted ci filename. the processor may record filename metadata including at least one of the encrypted ci filename, a length of the encrypted ci filename, the first hash value, and the bit information, in the memory. the processor may search for a target file to be found based on the filename metadata.
