Intuitive file transfer method

摘要

An intuitive file transfer method transfers a selected file from a source device to a selected destination device based on intuitive operation of file transferring. The source device and the destination device are connected by a data transmission device. The source device and the destination device are both provided with a storage device and are both loaded with an intuitive file transfer program. After initialization, the source device and the destination device start the intuitive file transfer programs, which detect if a user uses a pointing device to select an object icon to be transferred in a display area of the source device. When the selected object icon is detected to be moved by the user through a predetermined pointing operation, source data associated with the selected object icon are transmitted through the data transmission device to the storage device of the destination device.

1. An intuitive file transfer method, which is adapted to transfer a selected file from a source device to at least one selected destination device, the source device being connected to the destination device through a data transmission device, the source device and the destination device each comprising a storage device and loaded with an intuitive file transfer program, the source device comprising a touch screen, the method comprising the following steps:
(a) after initialization, operating the source device and the destination device to start the intuitive file transfer programs thereof in connection with a display area of the touch screen, wherein the display area includes locations occupied by object icons and locations unoccupied by object icons; (b) detecting selection of an object icon to be transferred, which is associated with at least one source data stored in the storage device of the source device, in the display area of the touch screen by a user using a pointing device; (c-1) detecting movement of the selected object icon caused by a predetermined pointing operation carried out by the user, wherein the predetermined pointing operation comprises moving the object icon to an unoccupied location in the display area; (c-2) on detecting of the movement of the selected object icon caused by the predetermined pointing operation, operating the intuitive file transfer programs to generate a selection window showing a list containing a plurality of destination devices to allow for selection of a desired destination device among the plurality of destination devices by the user; (c-3) on the selection of the desired destination device, operating the intuitive file transfer programs to generate a dialog window for confirmation of transferring the source data associated with the selected object icon to the desired destination device by the user; and (d) operating the intuitive file transfer programs to transmit the source data associated with the selected object icon through the data transmission device to the storage device of the desired destination device.
