Managing digital files in an electronic device
First Claim
1. A method for managing files of a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
- entering a setting mode configured to receive a location identifier corresponding to an input key of an input unit of the mobile terminal;
receiving a first input via a first input key of the input unit in the setting mode;
associating a first file location for saving a file with a first location identifier in response to the first input received via the input unit;
detecting selection of a first file from a displayed file list;
detecting a second input received via the input unit when the first file is selected;
adding the selected first file to the first file location associated with the first location identifier in response to the detected second input which corresponds to the first location identifier;
detecting selection of a second file from the displayed file list;
receiving a third input via the input unit when the second file is selected;
generating a new file location in response to the third input which does not correspond to a specific location identifier associated with a specific file location; and
adding the selected second file to the new file location.

Abstract
A file management method of a mobile terminal, the method including entering a mode configured to receive a file identifier, detecting the file identifier via an input device, associating the file identifier with the a file location in the mobile terminal, and detecting a selection of at least one file from a displayed file list, wherein the selected at least one file is accessible from the file location when an input value matches the file identifier. A mobile terminal for adding files includes a memory unit for storing a plurality of files and a file identifier set to correspond to a specific input signal, a display unit for displaying a list of files and file identifiers, the list comprising all or a specific category of the plurality of files and file identifiers, an input unit for selecting at least one file from the displayed file list and generating a specific input signal corresponding to the file identifier of the selected at least one file, a transceiving unit for communicating with a terminal, by sending and receiving files, and a controller for adding the selected at least one file to a file location associated with the specific input signal.
