FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 respectively show a flowchart of a copy and paste method 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method 200 is adapted to be executed in an operating system of a computing device (the aforementioned computing device 100). Specifically, the operating system 105 includes a copy processing module 150, and the copy processing module 150 is configured to execute the copy and paste method 200 of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the method 200 includes steps S210-S230. It should be noted that steps S210 to S230 are performed. According to the copy and paste method 200 of the present invention, combining and pasting of multiple times of copied data can be realized in both the single copy mode and the combined copy mode.

In step S210, multiple copying operations of the user are continuously received, and the data blocks of each copying operation are respectively mapped to corresponding indexes on the clipboard based on the copying sequence.

It should be noted that the clipboard is located in the kernel of the operating system. The data block of the copy operation is the data block in the memory where the copy operation is performed. After each copy operation of the user is received, the data block of each copy operation can also be marked for subsequent pasting. It should be noted that the copying sequence refers to the time sequence of copying operations.

FIG. 4 shows a schematic diagram of the correspondence between the data blocks of each copy operation and the indexes on the clipboard according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4 , the time line corresponding to the higher-order data block is closer, and the corresponding index is newer. For example, the latest replicated data block 5 corresponds to the latest index 1.

In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3 , in the single copy mode, after each copy operation from the user is received, an index is added to the clipboard, and the data blocks of this copy operation are added to the clipboard. Map to the newly added index.

It should be noted that in the single copy mode, the user can continuously perform multiple copy operations, and, for each copy operation performed by the user, the data blocks corresponding to each copy operation are added to the clipboard based on the copy sequence. , and map the data block of the latest copy operation to the newly added index on the clipboard, so as to map the data block of each copy operation to the corresponding index on the clipboard. The record of the previous copy operation will not be cleared when the next copy operation is performed.

Subsequently, in step S220, a combined index is generated based on the plurality of indexes. Here, the data corresponding to the combined index is a plurality of data blocks corresponding to the plurality of indexes.

Finally, in step S230, the multiple data blocks corresponding to the multiple indexes are pasted based on the combined index.

In one embodiment, in the single copy mode, after completing multiple copy operations, the user can invoke the clipboard interface when a paste operation is required. Arousing the clipboard interface indicates that the copy operation is completed, and the paste operation is entered.

Specifically, in the single copy mode, steps S220 to S230 can be implemented according to the following methods:

In response to the user's request for evoking the clipboard interface, the clipboard interface is displayed, and the index corresponding to the data block of each copy operation is displayed on the clipboard interface. In one implementation, the user may invoke the clipboard interface by pressing a predetermined shortcut key. The predetermined shortcut key may be implemented as ctrl+alt+v, for example, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

Subsequently, a request from the user to select and combine multiple indexes on the clipboard interface is received, and a combined index is generated based on the selected multiple indexes, and the combined index corresponds to multiple data blocks corresponding to the multiple indexes selected by the user. Here, when a combined index is obtained based on a combination of multiple indexes, the data blocks corresponding to the multiple indexes are correspondingly mapped to the combined index, which is equivalent to modifying the mapping relationship between the data block and the index.

Finally, multiple data blocks corresponding to multiple indexes selected by the user can be combined and pasted based on the combined index, so as to realize a single unified paste of the data blocks copied multiple times, so as to provide the integrated memory data to the calling application for downloading. one-step processing.

It should be noted that the index corresponding to the data block of each copy operation performed in step S210 may be displayed on the clipboard interface. The multiple indexes selected by the user on the clipboard interface may be a part of the indexes on the clipboard interface, or all the indexes on the clipboard interface. That is, the user can select a part of the indexes or all indexes on the clipboard interface and request to combine them into a combined index, so as to paste multiple data blocks corresponding to the multiple indexes selected by the user based on the combined indexes.

Figure 5 shows a schematic diagram of a shear panel interface according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 5, each item on the clipboard interface includes an index corresponding to a data block of a copy operation, and each index includes the data type (file or text) of the data block of the copy operation, the time of the copy operation, etc. information. The user can select multiple indexes by performing a frame selection operation or a multi-selection operation on the multiple indexes on the clipboard interface.

In addition, as shown in Figure 5, the clipboard interface also provides a "group" control, a "clear" control, and a "select all" control. After the user selects multiple indexes through the multi-selection or box-selection operation, the user can click the "combine" control to realize the combination of the selected indexes to generate a combined index. For example, after selecting the first index (file) and the second index (text) on the clipboard interface, the first index and the second index can be combined to generate a combined index by clicking the "combination" control to generate a combined index. The data types in the index include file and text.

In addition, according to the copy and paste method of the present invention, it is also possible to enter a combined copy mode to perform a copy operation. As shown in FIG. 3 , before performing multiple copy operations, if a user-triggered request for entering the combined copy mode is received, the combined copy mode can be entered. In this way, data copied multiple times can be combined and pasted in combined copy mode.

In one embodiment, step S210 may be implemented according to the following method: in response to a request to enter the combined copy mode, enter the combined copy mode. Subsequently, multiple copy operations of the user are received, and the data blocks of the multiple copy operations are mapped to the same composite index on the clipboard based on the copy order. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, after entering the combined copy mode, a combined index is first added to the clipboard, and then (before exiting the combined copy mode) after receiving each copy operation from the user, based on the copy The sequence of operations maps the data blocks of each copy operation to the same composite index on the clipboard, respectively. In this way, after exiting the combined copy mode, a combined index is automatically generated, and the combined index corresponds to multiple data blocks of multiple copy operations, so that in step S230, multiple copies in the combined copy mode can be directly based on the combined index. The multiple data blocks of the operation are combined and pasted to realize a single unified paste of multiple data blocks of multiple copy operations.

In one implementation, the user can trigger entering the combined copy mode by pressing a predetermined key combination, that is, the user can enter the combined copy mode in response to a user request to enter the combined copy mode triggered by the predetermined key combination. Here, the present invention does not specifically limit the predetermined key combination. For example, the predetermined key combination can be implemented as Ctrl+Shift+c.

In one embodiment, after completing multiple copy operations, the user may request to exit the combined copy mode by pressing the predetermined key combination again. At this time, the combined index corresponds to the data blocks of multiple copy operations performed in the combined copy mode.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, in the combined copy mode, after each copy operation is received, the data blocks of each copy operation can also be accumulated (accumulated to the data blocks of the previous copy operation) to obtain accumulated data. piece. In this way, after exiting the combined copy mode, the final accumulated data block corresponding to the combined index can be obtained. When the user exits the combined copy mode and pastes, the accumulated data block can be directly pasted based on the combined index, so that the integrated data block can be directly pasted. The memory data is provided to the calling application for further processing.

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing the corresponding relationship between the accumulated data block and the index on the clipboard according to an embodiment of the present invention. For example, as shown in Figure 6, in the latest combined copy mode, the accumulated data blocks corresponding to the latest combined index 1 include data block 5 and data block 4, and the accumulated data blocks corresponding to combined index 2 include data block 3 and data block 3 2.

It should be pointed out that after exiting the combined copy mode, when the user performs the copy operation again, the data block of the copy operation is no longer mapped to the combined index in the previous combined copy mode, but a new single copy operation. The data block corresponds to the latest index 1 on the clipboard. However, the combined index (combined index 1) in the previous combined replication mode is changed to combined index 2.

It should be noted that, in the combined copy mode, if only one copy operation is performed, the corresponding combined index only corresponds to the index of a single data block.

According to an embodiment, in step S210, receiving multiple copy operations may specifically be implemented as: receiving multiple copy operations performed on files and/or texts in one or more directories. That is to say, the multiple copying operations in the present invention may include copying operations performed by the user in one or more directories, and the user may switch to another directory to continue the copying operation after each copying operation. The copy operation may be a copy operation of a file in a directory, or a copy operation of text (including text content in the file, description information of the file, etc.). The files may include, for example, one or more of text files, video files, picture files, and presentation files.

According to one embodiment, after completing multiple copy operations, the user can perform a paste operation under the target path. Specifically, in step S230, after receiving the user's paste operation under the target path, the operating system pastes the corresponding multiple data blocks under the target path based on the combination index. It should be pointed out that the target path may correspond to any directory (folder) in the file manager, and may also correspond to a directory in an application scenario such as a web page or a network disk. In addition, the target path can also correspond to the content area in the file.

For example, in an application example, in the process of writing a text file or a presentation file, when a user needs to insert a video file, a picture file and the description information (text) of the file into the written file, he can copy the files to be inserted separately. and the description information of the file (such as file name), after the copy operation is completed, the paste operation can be performed in the text file or the presentation file, and the file and text can be pasted in a single unified manner, thereby realizing the purpose of simplifying the operation.

In an implementation manner, the user can trigger the paste operation by pressing the paste shortcut key or clicking the paste function option. That is, the operating system may receive a paste operation triggered by a user receiving a paste shortcut key or clicking a paste function option. Here, click the paste function option to trigger the paste operation. Specifically, you can right-click the mouse to call up the menu page, and click the paste function option in the menu page to trigger the paste operation; you can also click the application in various applications. Provides the paste function option to trigger the paste operation.

It should be noted that the present invention does not specifically limit the paste shortcut key, for example, in an implementation manner, the paste shortcut key can be implemented as Ctrl+v.

Specifically, in the single copy mode, the combined index corresponds to multiple data blocks corresponding to multiple indexes selected by the user on the clipboard interface. Therefore, after receiving the user's paste operation under the target path, based on The combined index pastes multiple data blocks corresponding to multiple indexes selected by the user under the target path.

In the combined copy mode, the combined index corresponds to multiple data blocks of the multiple copy operations in step S210, so after receiving the user's paste operation under the target path, the multiple data blocks in step S210 are copied based on the combined index Multiple data blocks (cumulative data blocks) of the copy operation are pasted under the destination path.

According to one embodiment, the user can trigger each copy operation by pressing the copy shortcut key or clicking the copy function option. That is to say, in step S210, multiple copy operations triggered by the user based on the copy shortcut key or click on the copy function option may be received. Here, click the copy function option to trigger the copy operation. Specifically, you can call out the menu page by right-clicking the mouse, and click the copy function option in the menu page to trigger the copy operation; you can also click the application in various applications. Provides the copy function option to trigger the copy operation.

It should be noted that the present invention does not specifically limit the copy shortcut key, for example, in an implementation manner, the copy shortcut key may be implemented as Ctrl+c.

According to an implementation manner of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3 , before executing the copy and paste method 200 of the present invention, the operating system first determines whether the user triggers entering the combined copy mode (whether a request to enter the combined copy mode is received), that is, Determines whether a user request to enter combined replication mode has been received. If it is not triggered to enter the combined copy mode, the copy and paste method 200 is executed according to the specific implementation in the single copy mode. Specifically, in the single copy mode, after each copy operation is received, an index is added to the clipboard respectively, and the data block of the copy operation is mapped to the newly added index. After the copy operation, the user can directly perform the paste operation under the target path. In this case, the data block of the latest copy operation will be directly pasted into the target path based on the corresponding index. In addition, the user can invoke the clipboard interface through a predetermined shortcut key, and then multiple indexes can be selected and combined on the clipboard interface. After receiving a request from the user to select and combine multiple indexes on the clipboard interface, a combined index is generated based on the multiple indexes selected by the user. Next, the user can perform a paste operation under the target path, and after receiving the user's paste operation, paste the corresponding multiple data blocks (that is, multiple data blocks corresponding to multiple indexes selected by the user) based on the combined index, In this way, the data blocks of multiple copy operations are uniformly pasted into the target path.

If it is determined to enter the combined copy mode, the copy and paste method 200 is executed according to the specific implementation in the combined copy mode. Specifically, in the combined copy mode, in response to a request to enter the combined copy mode, the combined copy mode is entered. Next, a combination index (combination index 1) is added to the clipboard, and after each copy operation is received in the combined copy mode, the data block of the copy operation is mapped to the combination index on the clipboard, Accumulate the data blocks of the copy operation (and the data blocks after the last copy operation) to obtain the accumulated data blocks. In this way, for multiple copy operations in the combined copy mode, multiple data blocks of multiple copy operations can be mapped. to the same composite index on the clipboard. After multiple copy operations, the user can request to exit the combined copy mode, and can perform the paste operation under the target path. After receiving the user's paste operation, the multiple data blocks of multiple copy operations are pasted based on the combined index. In this way, the data blocks of multiple copy operations are uniformly pasted into the target path.

According to the copy and paste method of the present invention, combining and pasting of multiple times of copied data can be realized in both the single copy mode and the combined copy mode. Among them, in the default single copy mode, the data blocks of each copy operation of the user are respectively mapped to the corresponding indexes on the clipboard, and after the user wakes up the clipboard interface, the data blocks of each copy operation are displayed on the clipboard interface. The index corresponding to the data block of the copy operation, the user can select multiple indexes on the clipboard interface to perform the paste operation. By combining the multiple indexes selected by the user into a combined index, based on the combined index, the One data block for a single unified paste. In addition, the user can enter the combined copy mode. In the combined copy mode, by mapping the data block of each copy operation of the user to the same combined index on the clipboard, when the paste operation is performed, multiple Copy multiple blocks of data for a single unified paste. In this way, according to the copy and paste method of the present invention, unified paste of memory data of multiple copy operations can be realized in multiple modes, thereby reducing the number of copy and paste operations, reducing the tedious steps of switching applications or interfaces back and forth, and improving User efficiency.

In addition, according to the copy and paste method of the present invention, the user can perform copy operations on files and texts at the same time during multiple copy operations, thereby realizing unified pasting of files and texts, and further simplifying user operations.
