Abstract

The present invention discloses an electronic device, a storage medium and a method for transferring a file. The method for transferring the file includes: submitting a file segment to be transferred to a target device to a transferring queue in a main process; waiting for an interrupt signal; monitoring whether the main process produces upload traffic during a preset time period, and if the main process does not produce the upload traffic during the preset time period, sending out an interrupt request which comprises information that the main process does not produce the upload traffic during the preset time period; stopping waiting for the interrupt signal when a response from the target device or the interrupt request are received.

Claims

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a storage system;

at least one processor;

one or more programs stored in the storage system and executed by the at least one processor, the one or more programs comprising;

a submitting module that submits a file segment to be transferred to a target device to a transferring queue in a main process;

a delay module that waits for an interrupt signal;

a first monitoring module that monitors whether the main process produces upload traffic during a preset time period;

if the main process does not produce the upload traffic during the preset time period, the first monitoring module sending out an interrupt request which comprises information that the main process does not produce the upload traffic during the preset time period;

a second monitoring module that triggers the delay module to stop waiting for the interrupt signal when a response from the target device or the interrupt request are received.

2. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the second monitoring module further determines that transferring of the file segment is failed when the interrupt request is received.

3. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein execution of the first monitoring module ends after the first monitoring module sends out the interrupt request.

4. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein if the response from the target device is received, the second monitoring module further determines whether the file segment is received by the target device according to the response;

if the file segment is not received by the target device, the second monitoring module determining that transferring of the file segment is failed.

5. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the second monitoring module triggers the first monitoring module to stop monitoring whether the main process produces upload traffic during the preset time period when the response from the target device is received.

6. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the first monitoring module is executed in a monitoring process that is different from the main process.

7. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the first monitoring module further prompts users that the file is being transferred if the main process produces the upload traffic during the preset time period.

8. The electronic device of claim 1, further comprising:

a third monitoring module that monitors whether a communication network that connects to the electronic device and target device is disconnected;

if the communication network is failed, the third monitoring module triggering the delay module to stop waiting for the interrupt signal, triggering the first monitoring module to stop monitoring whether the main process produces upload traffic during the preset time period, and determining transferring of the file segment is failed.

9. A method for transferring a file, the method comprising:

step (a);

submitting a file segment to be transferred to a target device to a transferring queue in a main process;

step (b);

waiting for an interrupt signal;

step (c);

monitoring whether the main process produces upload traffic during a preset time period, and if the main process does not produce the upload traffic during the preset time period, sending out an interrupt request which comprises information that the main process does not produce the upload traffic during the preset time period;

step (d);

ending the step (b) when a response from the target device or the interrupt request are received.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the step (d) further comprises:

determining that transferring of the file segment is failed when the interrupt request is received.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein the step (c) ends after the interrupt request is sent out.

12. The method of claim 9, wherein the step (d) further comprises:

if the response from the target device is received, determining whether the file segment is received by the target device according to the response;

if the file segment is not received by the target device, determining that transferring of the file segment is failed.

13. The method of claim 9, wherein the step (d) further comprises:

ending the step (c) when the response from the target device is received.

14. The method of claim 9, wherein the step (c) is executed in a monitoring process that is different from the main process.

15. The method of claim 9, wherein the step (c) further comprises:

prompting users that the file is being transferring if the main process produces the upload traffic during the preset time period.

16. The method of claim 9, further comprising:

monitoring whether a communication network that connects to a electronic device and target device is disconnected after the step (b);

if the communication network is disconnected, ending the step (b) and step (c), and determining transferring of the file segment is failed.

17. A non-transitory storage medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions capable of being executed by a processor of an electronic device, cause the electronic device to execute a method for transferring a file, the method comprising:

(a) submitting a file segment to be transferred to a target device to a transferring queue in a main process;

(b) waiting for an interrupt signal;

(c) monitoring whether the main process produce upload traffic during a preset time period, and if the main process does not produce the upload traffic during the preset time period, sending out an interrupt request which comprises information that the main process does not produce the upload traffic during the preset time period;

(d) ending the step (b) when a response from the target device or the interrupt request are received.

18. The storage medium of claim 17 wherein the step (d) further comprises:

determining that transferring of the file segment is failed when the interrupt pending request is received.

19. The storage medium of claim 17, wherein the step (c) ends after the interrupt request is sent out.

20. The storage medium of claim 17, wherein the step (d) further comprises:

if the response from the target device is received, determining whether the file segment is received by the target device according to the response;

if the file segment is not received by the target device, determining that transferring of the file segment is failed.
