INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM FOR SETTING A NAMING RULE FOR A FILE NAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18378188 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM FOR SETTING A NAMING RULE FOR A FILE NAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes an information processing apparatus and a method of controlling it. The apparatus sets a naming rule for an image file and checks if the rule satisfies a predetermined condition. If the rule does not satisfy the condition, the apparatus warns the user. If the rule satisfies the condition, the apparatus generates a file name for the image file according to the rule and stores the file with the generated name.

  • The patent application is for an information processing apparatus and method.
  • The apparatus sets a naming rule for image files.
  • It determines if the naming rule satisfies a predetermined condition.
  • If the rule does not satisfy the condition, the user is warned.
  • If the rule satisfies the condition, the apparatus generates a file name for the image file.
  • The image file is stored with the generated file name.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology can be used in digital cameras or smartphones to automatically generate file names for captured images.
  • It can be applied in image editing software to enforce consistent naming conventions for saved files.
  • Online platforms or cloud storage services can utilize this technology to ensure organized file naming for user-uploaded images.

Problems Solved:

  • Inconsistent or arbitrary file naming for image files can lead to confusion and difficulty in managing and organizing them.
  • Users may forget to follow specific naming conventions, resulting in disorganized image files.
  • Manual renaming of image files can be time-consuming and prone to errors.

Benefits:

  • The apparatus automates the process of generating file names for image files, saving time and effort for users.
  • It enforces consistent naming conventions, ensuring organized and easily searchable image files.
  • The warning feature alerts users when the naming rule does not meet the predetermined condition, preventing potential issues with file organization.


Original Abstract Submitted

There is provided with an information processing apparatus and a method of controlling the same. The apparatus sets a naming rule for an image file and determines whether or not the set naming rule satisfies a predetermined condition. If it is determined that the naming rule does not satisfy the predetermined condition, the information processing apparatus warns a user. On the other hand, if it is determined that the naming rule satisfies the predetermined condition, the information processing apparatus generates a file name of the image file in accordance with the set naming rule, and stores the image file with the file name.
