Abstract

A controller of an information processing device displays, on a display, a display screen having a first display region that displays a list of files, and a second display region that displays an operation button; selects one or more files from among the displayed list of files; and in response to selection of the operation button after a file is selected, renames the file in accordance with additional information associated with the operation button.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An information processing device comprising:
a display; and a controller, wherein the controller
displays, on the display, a display screen having a first display region that displays a list of files, and a second display region that displays an operation button,
selects one or more files from among the displayed list of files, and
in response to selection of the operation button after a file is selected, renames the file in accordance with additional information associated with the operation button.

2 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the additional information includes an additional character string, and
wherein the controller renames the file such that the additional character string is added to a file name of the file.

3 . The information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein the additional information further includes an additional character string position, and
wherein the controller renames the file such that the additional character string is added to the file name at the additional character string position.

4 . The information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein the additional character string includes a suffix “-ed”.

5 . The information processing device according to claim 2 , further comprising an input assembly that inputs the additional character string,
wherein the controller sets, as the additional information, the additional character string input by the input assembly.

6 . The information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein the controller renames the file such that, each time the operation button is selected, a different additional character string is added to the file name.

7 . The information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein the second display region displays a plurality of operation buttons, each of the plurality of operation buttons being capable of being assigned a different additional character string.

8 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising a user authenticator that authenticates a user,
wherein the controller renames the file when a user authenticated by the user authenticator has a privilege to rename the file.

9 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein identification information identifying a user is stored in association with each of the files in the displayed list of files, and
wherein when the controller renames the file, the controller notifies a user associated with the file of renaming of the file.

10 . The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the additional information includes a plurality of additional candidate character strings, and
wherein the controller
further displays, in the second display region, a designation button used to designate the additional information, and
in response to selection of the designation button, designates one of the plurality of additional candidate character strings as the additional information.

11 . The information processing device according to claim 10 , wherein the designation button is displayed in association with the operation button.

12 . The information processing device according to claim 2 , further comprising an input assembly that inputs the additional character string,
wherein the controller stores, as an additional candidate character string, the additional character string input by the input assembly.

13 . The information processing device according to claim 10 , wherein the controller executes a process of editing and/or deleting one or more additional candidate character strings among the plurality of additional candidate character strings.

14 . A file processing method for an information processing device, comprising:
displaying, on a display of the information processing device, a display screen having a first display region that displays a list of files, and a second display region that displays an operation button; selecting one or more files from among the displayed list of files; and in response to selection of the operation button after a file is selected, renaming the file in accordance with additional information associated with the operation button.

15 . A non-transitory recording medium storing a program that, when executed by a computer including a display and a controller, causes the computer to execute:
displaying, on the display, a display screen having a first display region that displays a list of files, and a second display region that displays an operation button; selecting one or more files from among the displayed list of files; and in response to selection of the operation button after a file is selected, renaming the file in accordance with additional information associated with the operation button.
