Abstract

A method for notification and providing quick link of shared information synchronized to location includes the following steps. Shared information uploaded from one local client device is received. The shared information is synchronized and distributed to another local client device. A shortcut link containing a saving path for instantly activating the shared information synchronized in another local client device is provided and sent to the another local client device.

Claims

1. A method for notification and providing quick link of shared information synchronized to location, which is applicable to a cloud server, the method comprising:

(a) receiving shared information uploaded from a first local client device via a network;

(b) synchronizing and distributing the shared information to at least one second local client device on the networks, and designating a predetermined saving path through which the shared information is saved to the second local client device; and

(c) generating and sending a shortcut link to the second local client device, wherein when the shortcut link is triggered in the second local client device, the shared information is activated instantly.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step (c) further comprises:

obtaining contact information for contacting the second local client device according to a membership account ID of the first local client device; and

sending a message containing the shortcut link to the second local client device according to the contact information.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein a first stage folder of the saving path is named according to the membership account ID of the first local client device.

4. The method according to claim 2, wherein the contact information is an e-mail address, an account ID of an instant messaging software or a mobile phone number.

5. The method according to claim 2, wherein the step (c) further comprises:

writing background information of the first local client device and the shared information into the message.

6. The method according to claim 2, wherein the message is an e-mail, a message of an instant messaging software or a short message of Short Message Service.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein when the message is the e-mail, the shortcut link exists in a content of the e-mail or in an attached file of the e-mail.

8. The method according to claim 1, wherein the shared information is at least one file or a folder having at least one file.

9. The method according to claim 1, wherein after it is determined that the step (b) is completed, the step (c) is then performed.

10. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step (b) and the step (c) are performed simultaneously.

11. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step (b) further comprises:

after it is determined that the shared information is uploaded from the first local client device at a first time, the step (c) is then performed.

12. A system for notification and providing quick link of shared information synchronized to location, the system comprising:

a first local client device;

a second local client device; and

a cloud server, comprising;

a network interface unit for establishing a connection with the first local client device and the second local client device via a network;

a data synchronization module for synchronizing shared information from the first local client device to the second local client device via the network interface unit, and designating a predetermined saving path through which the shared information is saved to the second local client device; and

a shortcut link generator for generating a shortcut link according to the predetermined saving path,

wherein the shortcut link is sent to the second local client device via the network interface unit, and when the shortcut link is triggered in the second local client device, the shared information will be activated instantly.

13. The system according to claim 12, further comprising:

a message management module electrically connected to the network interface unit and the shortcut link generator for providing and sending a message containing the shortcut link to the second local client device via the network interface unit according to contact information of the second local client device.

14. The system according to claim 12 further comprising:

a membership database comprising a membership account ID of the first local client device, and the contact information of the second local client device chosen to be shared with information from the first local client device.

15. The system according to claim 14, wherein a first stage folder of the saving path is named according to the membership account ID of the first local client device.

16. The system according to claim 12, wherein the second local client device comprises:

a storage unit; and

an agent program module electrically connected to the storage unit for saving the shared information synchronized from the cloud server to the storage unit according to the saving path designated by the cloud server.

17. The system according to claim 12, wherein the contact information is an e-mail address, an account ID of an instant messaging software or a mobile phone number.

18. The system according to claim 17, wherein the message is an e-mail, a message of an instant messaging software or a short message of Short Message Service.

19. The system according to claim 18, wherein the shortcut link exists in a content of the e-mail or in an attached file of the e-mail.

20. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium with a computer program to execute a method for notification and providing quick link of shared information synchronized to location, wherein the method for notification and providing quick link of shared information synchronized to location comprises:

(a) receiving a shared information uploaded from a first local client device via a network;

(b) synchronizing and distributing the shared information to at least one second local client device on the network, and designating a predetermined saving path through which the shared information is saved to the second local client device; and

(c) generating and sending a shortcut link to the second local client device, wherein when the shortcut link is triggered in the second local client device, the shared information will be activated instantly.
