Adaptive computer directory and file selection

摘要

A computer system has a hierarchical directory system in which a user's patterns of use are analyzed when the user calls a file access routine such that the system tracks which directories and files are accessed most frequently by the user e.g. when in a particular application. The system can then display to the user a list of files or directories in order of most likely use. The user can select period of time, minimum duration of access, file type, and weightings, as parameters in the analysis.
