FILE TRANSFER APPARATUS AND FILE TRANSFER METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240214446 titled 'FILE TRANSFER APPARATUS AND FILE TRANSFER METHOD
The patent application describes a file transfer apparatus that checks for duplicate file names before transferring files to a destination.
- The apparatus identifies if any file in the transfer destination has the same base name as a file to be transferred.
- If duplicate files are found, the apparatus changes the base name of the duplicate file(s) to avoid conflicts.
- The apparatus then transfers all files to the destination without any duplicate files present.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in file transfer applications to prevent overwriting of files with the same name. - It can be implemented in cloud storage services to ensure data integrity and prevent data loss.
Problems Solved: - Eliminates the risk of accidentally overwriting files with the same name during file transfers. - Prevents data loss and confusion in file management systems.
Benefits: - Ensures data integrity by avoiding duplicate files in transfer destinations. - Simplifies file management processes by automatically resolving naming conflicts.
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced File Transfer Apparatus for Data Integrity This technology can be utilized in cloud storage services, file sharing platforms, and data backup solutions to streamline file transfers and enhance data management capabilities.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the apparatus determine if there are duplicate files in the transfer destination? 2. What are the potential implications of using this technology in large-scale file transfer operations?
Original Abstract Submitted
a file transfer apparatus is disclosed. the apparatus determines whether or not a first file whose base name is same as a base name of any file that in a transfer destination exists in a plurality of files to be transferred each of which has a file name including a base name and an extension. in a case where it is determined that the first file(s) exist in the plurality of files to be transferred, the apparatus collectively changes the base name of the first file(s), and transfers the plurality of files to be transferred to the transfer destination in a state in which no first file exists in the plurality of files to be transferred.
