A process-based path collection method and system

technical field

The invention belongs to the field of information technology, and in particular relates to a process-based path collection method and system.

Background technique

Path selection is one of the commonly used functions in computer desktop systems, especially before file reading and writing operations, path selection and confirmation exist in many applications. Current operating systems are all multitasking systems, such as the popular Windows operating system, Linux operating system, etc.

In a multitasking system, different application programs developed for different application purposes are often difficult to cooperate with each other. OLE is the product of technical solutions for mutual cooperation between different application systems. At present, many application programs support OLE drag and drop. However, the sharing of the file path has been neglected all the time. For example, when the operator uses the file browser to find the correct file path, when using Word to create a new file and needs to save it, he needs to select the file saving path. If there are many path levels, Then you need to click to find and locate the path again in the file saving dialog box, which makes the user's operation very troublesome.

Among the existing public documents and systems, there is no system that is convenient for users to collect process paths and can customize common paths.

Detailed ways

The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

In this embodiment, the system runs under the Windows operating system platform.

As shown in Figure 1, a process-based path collection system is composed of a path collection device 11, a configuration manager 12, and a system hook device 13, wherein the path collection device 11 and the system hook device 13 are different according to different operating systems , there are differences in the system interface functions called. The path collection device 11 is used to collect the process information that the system is running through the API call interface of the system, and extracts relevant path information from the process. In addition, the path collection device 11 is also used to obtain the relevant configuration files from the configuration manager 12 After configuration, filter and sort the collected paths to generate a path list.

The configuration in the configuration file managed by the configuration manager 12 mainly includes the following two types: screening configuration and sorting configuration: this embodiment only reads the opened file browser path:

The relevant configuration is as follows:

<? xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"? >

<root>

<item id="1"name="opened browser"orderby="value">

<filterset>

<filter id="1-1"name="name filter"desc="filter process name"type="processname">explorer</filter>

<filter id="1-2"name="user filter"desc="filter current user type"type="username">currentuser</filter>

<filter id="1-3"name="path filter"desc="filter path type"type="pathtype">app</filter>

</filterset>

</item>

<item id="2" name="self-path definition" orderby="value">

<paths>

<path id="2-1"name="DataFilter project directory"desc="DataFilter project directory"type="phypath"value="D:\My

Solutions\DataRating\Code\DataFilter″>

<path id="2-1-1"name="test directory"desc="DataFilter test data directory"type="relpath"value="Test"/>

<path id="2-1-2" name="DataFilter data" desc="DataFilter project data file directory"type="relpath"

value="Data"/>

</path>

<path id="2-2"name="Everyone's desktop" desc="The corresponding directory of everyone's desktop"type="phypath"value="C:\Documents

and Settings\All Users\Desktop″>

</path>

</paths>

</item>

</root>

In the above configuration file, the Item node is the node used by the user for classification, and the filterset node indicates that the configuration of the filter contained below is applied to the current Item node. As described in the above configuration: the name of the id equal to "1-1" is "name filtering" and the type of the configuration item is "processname", that is, the process is searched according to the string matching expression "explorer" defined by the Text value in the node. Screening; id is equal to "1-2" and the name is "user filtering". The type of configuration item is "username", that is, according to the currentuser defined by the Text value in the node, it is determined that the user who started the process is the current user process; id is equal to "1 -3" The type of the configuration item named "path filter" is "pathtype", that is, the app defined according to the Text value in the node indicates the current application path of the acquisition process;

Item whose id is equal to "2" defines a user-defined path tree, where type equal to phypath indicates that the path recorded in the Value attribute corresponding to the Path node is a complete physical path, and type equal to relpath indicates a Path node The path recorded in the corresponding Value attribute is a relative path relative to the upper-level node, and its complete physical access path must be obtained after adding the path of the upper-level node.

In this embodiment, the processing flow chart of the process-based path collection method is shown in FIG. 2 , that is, the path collection device 11 first performs process collection and path extraction (step S21 ), wherein the extracted process results are displayed as shown in FIG. 3 .

The path collection device 11 then obtains the relevant configuration from the configuration manager 12. If the above Xml file shows the same content, implement step S22 to filter and sort the paths, and obtain the process name in the basis node according to the screening configuration in the Xml configuration file. It is "explorer", the starting user is the current user, and the id obtained from the corresponding process is equal to "1-3". The name is "path filter" and the type of the configuration item is "pathtype", which is the app representation defined according to the Text value in the node Get the current application path of the process;

The results of the screening are shown in Figure 4. That is, two paths are obtained after filtering, namely

"F:\Software\Office\Sample" path and "D:\My Works1" path.

Then generate the following path list (as shown in S23 in Figure 2) according to the configuration file:

<? xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"? >

<root>

<item id="1"name="opened browser"orderby="value">

<paths>

<path id="1-1" name="F:\Software\Office\Sample"desc="F:\Software\Office\Sample"type="phypath"

value="F:\Software\Office\Sample"/>

<path id="1-2"name="D:\My Works1"desc="D:\My Works1"type="phypath"value="D:\My Works1"/>

</paths>

</item>

<item id="2" name="self-path definition" orderby="value">

<paths>

<path id="2-1"name="DataFilter project directory"desc="DataFilter project directory"type="phypath"value="D:\My

Solutions\DataRating\Code\DataFilter″>

<path id="2-1-1"name="test directory"desc="DataFilter test data directory"type="relpath"value="Test"/>

<path id="2-1-2" name="DataFilter data" desc="DataFilter project data file directory"type="relpath"

value="Data"/>

</path>

<path id="2-2"name="Everyone's desktop" desc="The corresponding directory of everyone's desktop"type="phypath"value="C:\Documents

and Settings\All Users\Desktop″>

</path>

</paths>

</item>

</root>

Since there is a self-defined path in the configuration file (as shown in S24 in Figure 2), the path collected and screened by the path collection device 11, as shown in step S25 in Figure 2, is merged into the path whose corresponding id is equal to "1". Node Item.

Since the above-mentioned tree-like structured data nodes are generated by ID multi-level sorting, that is, the node ID is composed of the parent node ID plus a connection symbol, such as "-", plus the node in the same-level nodes The index numbers are arranged so that the IDs of all nodes will not be repeated.

The above-mentioned path list generated is shown in FIG. 5 , and here only the tree structure interface is listed, and it is also not difficult to realize the interface in the form of menu or list.

According to step S26 shown in FIG. 2 , the system is connected to the file saving window of the Windows operating system through the module system hook device 13 , and the screenshot of the interface is shown in FIG. 6 .

The selected "opened browser" text and icon shown in the figure are inserted into the navigation bar of the file saving dialog box through the system hook program 13. Select this icon, and a list of collected paths will pop up.

If the method in the above-mentioned embodiment is in a self-developed software interface, if the dialog box developed by it uses a self-developed file open and save dialog box, then it is not necessary to use the above-mentioned system hook device 13, but the current Windows operating system-related The development platform generally can directly call its API after the file opening and saving dialog controls are encapsulated. In this environment, the system hook device 13 is needed. Save dialog interface.

The present invention is a process-based path collection method and system. It is designed according to the technical idea of the present invention and the path selection of file operation is simplified according to this method, so that users can make full use of Its multi-tasking feature enables fast path finding between processes.
