Method and apparatus for selecting media files
First Claim
1. A method of transferring media files comprising:
- displaying a media file of the media files stored in a first storage location upon a device comprising a display and an input unit comprising a first key, a second key, a third key, a fourth key, and a fifth key;
determining whether one of the first key, the second key, the third key, the fourth key, and the fifth key of the input unit is selected;
rotating the presently displayed media file 90 degrees anticlockwise and processing the presently displayed media file when an input of the first key is received;
rotating the presently displayed media file 90 degrees clockwise and processing the presently displayed media file when an input of the second key is received;
directly processing the presently displayed media file when an input of the third key is received;
skipping the presently displayed media file when an input of the fourth key is received;
returning to a previously displayed media file and displaying the previously displayed media file when an input of the fifth key is received;
processing the presently displayed media file by at least of selecting it and storing it in a second storage location;
determining whether or not all the media files have been processed, whereinupon determining there is still an unprocessed media file, a next media file is displayed and foregoing steps are repeated until all the media files have been processed; and
upon determining there is no unprocessed media file and processing previously displayed media files comprised selecting them storing the selected media files in the second storage location.

Abstract
A method and an apparatus for selecting media files are provided. In the present invention, three keys are used for selecting a plurality of media files, wherein one of the keys is used for rotating and selecting a presently displayed media file, one of the keys is used for directly selecting the presently displayed media file, and another key is used for skipping the presently displayed media file. Complete select functions can be executed to a plurality of media files stored in any path by using foregoing three keys. The selected media files are stored in another path as being selected without spending time in actions such as moving, copying, and deleting, etc. Thus, the media file select operation is greatly simplified.
