Abstract

A file processing method includes obtaining, by a mobile terminal, a first operation from a user, displaying a first file on a first screen of a first application, obtaining, by the mobile terminal, a second operation from the user on the first screen, displaying, in response to the second operation, the first file on a recycle bin screen of the first application, deleting, by the mobile terminal, a first data table, where the first file is invisible to the user on the recycle bin screen of the first application due to deletion of the first data table, obtaining, by the mobile terminal, a third operation from the user, and generating, in response to the third operation, a second data table, where the first file is visible due to existence of the second data table.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A file processing method implemented by a mobile terminal, the file processing method comprising:
obtaining a first operation from a user;
displaying, in response to the first operation, a first file on a first screen of a first application;
obtaining a second operation from the user on the first screen;
changing, in response to the second operation, a storage location of the first file from a first directory to a second directory to display the first file on a recycle bin screen of the first application, wherein the second directory is configured to store one or more files displayed on the recycle bin screen;
changing a filename of the first file from a first name to a second name, wherein the second name comprises a deletion time of the first file;
obtaining a target character string by encoding metadata of the first file using a preset coding scheme;
storing the target character string and the deletion time of the first file in correspondence in a binary file of the second directory;
deleting, after displaying the first file on the recycle bin screen, a first data table to remove the first file from view of the user on the recycle bin screen;
obtaining, after deleting the first data table, a third operation from the user; and
generating, in response to the third operation, a second data table to make the first file visible to the user on the recycle bin screen.

2. The file processing method of claim 1 , wherein before obtaining the second operation, the first file belongs to a first album of the first application, and wherein after generating the second data table, the file processing method further comprises:
displaying the first file on the recycle bin screen;
obtaining a fourth operation from the user on the recycle bin screen; and
displaying, in response to the fourth operation, the first file on a screen corresponding to the first album, wherein the first file belongs to the first album after obtaining the fourth operation.

3. The file processing method of claim 1 , wherein after generating the second data table, the file processing method further comprises:
displaying the first file on the recycle bin screen;
obtaining a fourth operation from the user on the recycle bin screen; and
deleting, in response to the fourth operation, the first file from the mobile terminal.

4. The file processing method of claim 1 , further comprising storing the metadata of the first file in the second data table, wherein the metadata comprises:
an original filename of the first file;
an original file identifier of the first file;
the deletion time of the first file;
a source storage path of the first file;
a current storage path of the first file;
a date taken time of the first file;
a picture orientation of the first file;
a cloud globally unique identifier of the first file;
a hash value of the first file; or
a cloud identifier of a source album to which the first file belongs.

5. The file processing method of claim 1 , wherein generating the second data table comprises:
determining the deletion time of the first file based on the second name;
determining a first target character string in the binary file that corresponds to the deletion time of the first file;
obtaining the metadata by decoding the first target character string using the preset coding scheme; and
generating the second data table based on the metadata.

6. A mobile terminal, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory coupled to the processor and configured to store instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the mobile terminal to:
obtain a first operation from a user;
display, in response to the first operation, a first file on a first screen of a first application;
obtain a second operation from the user on the first screen;
change, in response to the second operation, a storage location of the first file from a first directory to a second directory to display the first file on a recycle bin screen of the first application, wherein the second directory is configured to store one or more files displayed on the recycle bin screen;
change a filename of the first file from a first name to a second name, wherein the second name comprises a deletion time of the first file;
obtain a target character string by encoding metadata of the first file using a preset coding scheme;
store the target character string and the deletion time of the first file in correspondence in a binary file of the second directory;
delete, after displaying the first file on the recycle bin screen, a first data table to remove so that the first file from view of the user on the recycle bin screen;
obtain, after deleting the first data table, a third operation from the user; and
generate, in response to the third operation, a second data table to make the first file is visible to the user on the recycle bin screen.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 6 , wherein before obtaining the second operation, the first file belongs to a first album of the first application, and wherein after generating the second data table, the instructions further cause the mobile terminal to:
display the first file on the recycle bin screen;
obtain a fourth operation from the user on the recycle bin screen; and
display, in response to the fourth operation, the first file on a screen corresponding to the first album, wherein the first file belongs to the first album after obtaining the fourth operation.

8. The mobile terminal of claim 6 , wherein before obtaining the second operation, the first file belongs to a first album of the first application, and wherein after generating the second data table, the instructions further cause the mobile terminal to:
display the first file on the recycle bin screen;
obtain a fourth operation from the user on the recycle bin screen; and
display, in response to the fourth operation, the first file on a screen corresponding to a target album of the first application, wherein the first file belongs to the target album after obtaining the fourth operation.

9. The mobile terminal of claim 6 , wherein after generating the second data table, the instructions further cause the mobile terminal to:
display the first file on the recycle bin screen;
obtain a fourth operation from the user on the recycle bin screen; and
delete, in response to the fourth operation, the first file from the mobile terminal.

10. The mobile terminal of claim 6 , wherein the instructions further cause the mobile terminal to store the metadata of the first file in the second data table, and wherein the metadata comprises:
an original filename of the first file;
an original file identifier of the first file;
the deletion time of the first file;
a source storage path of the first file;
a current storage path of the first file;
a date taken time of the first file;
a picture orientation of the first file;
a cloud globally unique identifier of the first file;
a hash value of the first file; or
a cloud identifier of a source album to which the first file belongs.

11. The mobile terminal of claim 6 , wherein the instructions cause the mobile terminal to generate the second data table by causing the mobile terminal to:
determine the deletion time of the first file based on the second name;
determine a first target character string in the binary file that corresponds to the deletion time of the first file;
obtain the metadata by decoding the first target character string using the preset coding scheme; and
generate the second data table based on the metadata.

12. The mobile terminal of claim 6 , wherein the instructions cause the mobile terminal to gene
