Abstract

A file acquiring method and device. The method includes detecting, by a mobile terminal, an updated extended storage medium, where the updated extended storage medium includes at least one file; when an instruction is received, acquiring, by the mobile terminal, stored file information according to the instruction; and acquiring, by the mobile terminal from the updated extended storage medium according to the stored file information, a file matching a first file, and using the file as a file corresponding to the instruction, where the first file is a file selected from an extended storage medium that has not been updated, where the file information is used for guiding the mobile terminal to acquire, from a partition of the extended storage medium, the file matching the first file, and use the file as the file corresponding to the instruction.

Claims

1. A file acquiring method for a terminal having a partition of an extended storage medium comprising:

detecting, by the mobile terminal, an updated extended storage medium, wherein the updated extended storage medium comprises at least one file;

acquiring, by the mobile terminal, stored file information according to an instruction when the instruction is received; and

acquiring, by the mobile terminal from the updated extended storage medium according to the stored file information, a file corresponding to the instruction by determining whether there is a file in the updated extended storage medium matching a first file,

wherein the first file is a file selected from a non-updated extended storage medium, and

wherein the file information is used for guiding the mobile terminal to the partition of the extended storage medium to determine whether there is a file in the updated extended storage medium matching the first file for acquiring the file corresponding to the instruction.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprises using a file matching the first file as the file corresponding to the instruction when there is the file in the updated extended storage medium matching the first file.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the method further comprises using a file that meets a predetermined condition as the file corresponding to the instruction when there is not a file in the updated extended storage medium matching the first file.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein before detecting, by the mobile terminal, the updated extended storage medium, the method further comprises:

receiving an instruction of a user;

setting a file, in the non-updated extended storage medium, as the first file; and

storing file information of the first file,

wherein the file information of the first file is used for guiding the mobile terminal to acquire, from the partition of the extended storage medium, a file matching the first file.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the stored file information comprises a file path and a file name of the first file.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the stored file information further comprises a uniform resource identifier, and wherein the uniform resource identifier is associated with the file path and the file name of the first file.

7. The method according to claim 3, wherein when there is not the file in the updated extended storage medium matching the first file, using the file that meets the predetermined condition as the file corresponding to the instruction comprises:

acquiring attribute information of the at least one file in the updated extended storage medium;

acquiring a degree of matching between the at least one file and the first file according to a preset rule; and

using a file, a degree of matching between which and the first file is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, in the at least one file as the file corresponding to the instruction.

8. The method according to claim 3, wherein when there is not the file in the updated extended storage medium matching the first file, using the file that meets the predetermined condition as the file corresponding to the instruction comprises:

acquiring attribute information of the at least one file in the updated extended storage medium;

acquiring a degree of matching between the at least one file and the first file according to a preset rule; and

using a file, a degree of matching between which and the first file is the highest, in the at least one file as the file corresponding to the instruction.

9. The method according to claim 7, wherein the instruction received by the mobile terminal comprises an instruction of generating a ringtone, wherein the file corresponding to the instruction comprises a music file corresponding to the ringtone, and wherein acquiring attribute information of the at least one file in the updated extended storage medium comprises acquiring at least one of a language, a style, an album, an artist, and a data size of a music file in the at least one file in the updated extended storage medium.

10. The method according to claim 7, wherein the instruction received by the mobile terminal comprises an instruction of displaying a desktop, wherein the file corresponding to the instruction comprises a picture file corresponding to the desktop, and wherein acquiring attribute information of the at least one file in the updated extended storage medium comprises acquiring at least one of a style, a subject, and a data size of a picture file in the at least one file in the updated extended storage medium.

11. A mobile terminal having a partition of an extended storage medium, comprising:

a display unit;

a memory; and

a processor coupled with the memory,

wherein the processor is configured to;

detect an updated extended storage medium, wherein the updated extended storage medium comprises at least one file;

acquire stored file information according to an instruction in response to receiving the instruction; and

acquire, from the updated extended storage medium according to the stored file information, a file corresponding to the instruction by determining whether there is a file in the updated extended storage medium matching a first file,

wherein the first file is a file selected from a non-updated extended storage medium, and

wherein the file information is used for guiding the mobile terminal to the partition of the extended storage medium to determine whether there is a file in the updated extended storage medium matching the first file for acquiring the file corresponding to the instruction.

12. The mobile terminal according to claim 11, wherein when there is a file in the updated extended storage medium matching the first file, the processor is configured to use the file matching the first file as the file corresponding to the instruction.

13. The mobile terminal according to claim 11, wherein when there is not a file in the updated extended storage medium matching the first file, the processor is configured to use a file that meets a predetermined condition as the file corresponding to the instruction.

14. The mobile terminal according to claim 11, wherein before the updated extended storage medium is detected, the processor is configured to:

receive an instruction of a user;

set a file, in the non-updated extended storage medium, as the first file; and

store file information of the first file,

wherein the file information of the first file is used for guiding the mobile terminal to acquire, from the partition of the extended storage medium, a file matching the first file.

15. The mobile terminal according to claim 11, wherein the stored file information comprises a file path and a file name of the first file.

16. The mobile terminal according to claim 15, wherein the stored file information further comprises a uniform resource identifier, and wherein the uniform resource identifier is associated with the file path and the file name of the first file.

17. The mobile terminal according to claim 13, wherein the processor is configured to:

acquire attribute information of the at least one file in the updated extended storage medium;

acquire a degree of matching between the at least one file and the first file according to a preset rule; and

use a file, a degree of matching between which and the first file is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, in the at least one file as the file corresponding to the instruction.

18. The mobile terminal according to claim 13, wherein the processor is configured to:
