SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ORGANIZING FILES BASED ON A UNIQUE IDENTIFICATION CODE

摘要

A system for determining a time that a file was created and associating an ID with the file based on the file creation time is disclosed. The system adjusts the creation time by a time zone offset. In the case of image files, the file creation time may be based on information associated with the image: (1) by the camera that took the picture (exchangeable image file data); (2) when the photo was last modified in memory (file modification time data); (3) based on the raw date and time the photo file was created (file date-time data); and (4) when the photo was imported onto a client device. The system may rename the file with this adjusted creation time to create a standardized name. As a result, the standardized name provides a filename nomenclature that is based on the actual or estimated time of when the file was created.

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving by a processor of a content management system, from a client device, a plurality of files, each file having respective associated data including a file name; creating by a processor of the content management system, a standardized name for each file based on a creation time for the corresponding file; determining by a processor of the content management system, that more than one of the received plurality of files have duplicate standardized names; and adding by a processor of the content management system, a modifier to each standardized name for the duplicate standardized names, wherein each modifier is based on the associated data of the file for which it modifies.
