All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
An electronic device described in the following embodiments includes but is not limited to a server (for example, a cloud server), or a terminal with a display panel, for example, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palmtop computer, a mobile Internet device, or a wearable device (for example, a smartwatch (such as an iWatch) or smart glasses). “Multiple” is used to describe at least two items, that is, two or more items.
Referring to
S201. The electronic device classifies, according to a preset rule, multiple multimedia files stored in the electronic device, to obtain at least a first multimedia file set, where the first multimedia file set includes icons that are respectively corresponding to multiple multimedia files meeting the preset rule.
Specifically, the electronic device classifies, according to the preset rule, the multiple multimedia files stored in the electronic device, to obtain one or more multimedia file sets. The one or more multimedia file sets include the first multimedia file set, and the “multiple” multimedia files include at least two multimedia files. There may be one or more preset rules. When there is one preset rule, the electronic device may obtain one or more multimedia file sets after classifying the multiple multimedia files stored in the electronic device. When there are multiple preset rules, the electronic device may also obtain one or more multimedia file sets after classifying the multiple multimedia files stored in the electronic device. For a multimedia file set, multiple multimedia files included in the multimedia file set have at least one common feature. Therefore, the multiple multimedia files in the multimedia file set are related to each other. The operation of classifying, by the electronic device, the multiple multimedia files stored in the electronic device may be automatically performed by the electronic device, or may be performed by the electronic device after the electronic device receives a classification instruction entered by a user. This is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention. The multimedia file includes but is not limited to a photograph, a picture, audio, a video, a document, and the like. The icon includes but is not limited to a thumbnail corresponding to the photograph, a thumbnail corresponding to the picture, an icon corresponding to the audio file, a picture corresponding to the video file, an icon corresponding to the document, and the like.
After the electronic device classifies the multiple multimedia files stored in the electronic device, multiple multimedia files included in a multimedia file storage area such as a gallery (including a cloud album (the multiple multimedia files are synchronized to cloud after being classified by a terminal, or the multiple multimedia files are directly classified in cloud), a local album, and the like) or a folder may be displayed according to a classification result. Therefore, a display manner of the multiple multimedia files in the multimedia file storage area such as the gallery or the folder may be optimized, so that the user finds a required multimedia file more quickly in a classified display manner.
It should be noted that, the first multimedia file set may be a folder, that is, after classifying the multiple multimedia files stored in the electronic device, the electronic device adds, to a folder for display by classification, icons that are respectively corresponding to multiple multimedia files belonging to a same classification, and the folder includes the icons that are respectively corresponding to the multiple multimedia files meeting the preset rule; or the first multimedia file set may be a set of the icons that are respectively corresponding to the multiple multimedia files meeting the preset rule, that is, after classifying the multiple multimedia files stored in the electronic device, the electronic device gathers, for display by classification, icons that are respectively corresponding to multiple multimedia files belonging to a same classification. There may be or may not be a classification indication line between two neighboring multimedia file sets. This is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention.
For example, the electronic device stores six photographs P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, and P6, and there is one preset rule. If the preset rule is that classification is performed according to months in which shooting is performed, the electronic device performs classification according to the preset rule to obtain two photograph sets: a photograph set 1 (including the photographs P1, P2, and P3) and a photograph set 2 (including the photographs P4, P5, and P6). The three photographs P1, P2, and P3 in the photograph set 1 are a photograph set meeting the preset rule. For example, all the three photographs are shot in January, 2015. The three photographs P4, P5, and P6 in the photograph set 2 are another photograph set meeting the preset rule. For example, all the three photographs are shot in March, 2015. The first multimedia file set in this embodiment of the present invention may be the photograph set 1 or the photograph set 2.
Optionally, the classifying, according to a preset rule, multiple multimedia files stored in the electronic device includes at least one of the following operations: grouping, into a multimedia file set according to generation time of the multimedia files, multiple multimedia files that are stored in the electronic device, that are generated on a same date of a same month in a same year, and whose generation quantity in a first preset time period meets a preset condition;
grouping, into a multimedia file set according to information about geographical locations at which the multimedia files are generated, multiple multimedia files that are stored in the electronic device and that have same geographical location information;
grouping, into a multimedia file set according to generation time of the multimedia files, multiple multimedia files that are stored in the electronic device and that are generated on a same date of a same month;
grouping, into a multimedia file set according to generation time of the multimedia files, multiple multimedia files that are stored in the electronic device and whose generation time points are in a second preset time period;
grouping, into a multimedia file set according to content of the multimedia files, multiple multimedia files that include one or more specified objects; or grouping, into a multimedia file set according to labels of the multimedia files, multiple multimedia files that are stored in the electronic device and that have a same label.
It should be noted that, the preset rule in this embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the foregoing six classification manners. A user may customize a rule. For example, for a photograph, multiple photographs stored in the electronic device may be classified according to a parameter such as an aperture, a shutter speed, a filter type, or a focal length. For a video, multiple videos stored in the electronic device may be classified according to a type of software used during recording, recording duration, a language used in the videos, or the like.
Specifically, in the first classification manner, the electronic device groups, into a multimedia file set, the multiple multimedia files (for example, continuously shot photographs or continuously recorded videos) that are generated on a same date and whose generation quantity in the first preset time period meets the preset condition. The first preset time period may be 15 consecutive minutes, two consecutive hours, three consecutive hours, or the like; the first preset time period may be at least 15 minutes, at least one hour, at least two hours, or the like; or the first preset time period may be a time period determined by using two specific time points, for example, 14:00:00-14:20:00 or 15:00:00-16:00:00. The preset condition may be: a quantity of multimedia files generated at each time point (hour-minute-second) in the first preset time period is greater than or equal to a first preset value, and the first preset value may be 5, 10, 15, or the like. Alternatively, the preset condition may be: a total quantity of multimedia files generated in the first preset time period is greater than or equal to a second preset value, and the second preset value may be 20, 30, 50, or the like. In an example of photographs, referring to
In the second classification manner, the electronic device groups, into a multimedia file set, the multiple multimedia files having same geographical location information. In an example of photographs, the geographical location information may be a shooting location. The shooting location may be classified according to administrative regions. For example, multiple photographs whose shooting locations belong to Guangdong are classified into a photograph set, and multiple photographs whose shooting locations belong to Zhejiang are classified into another photograph set; or multiple photographs whose shooting locations belong to Shenzhen, Guangdong are classified into a photograph set, and multiple photographs whose shooting locations belong to Hangzhou, Zhejiang are classified into another photograph set. Alternatively, the shooting location may be further classified according to districts and counties. For example, multiple photographs whose shooting locations belong to Futian District, Shenzhen, Guangdong are classified into a photograph set, and multiple photographs whose shooting locations belong to Nanshan District, Shenzhen, Guangdong are classified into another photograph set. Alternatively, the shooting location may be specific address information. For example, multiple photographs whose shooting locations belong to No. 1, First Street, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, Guangdong are classified into a photograph set, and multiple photographs whose shooting locations belong to No. 1, Second Street, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, Guangdong are classified into another photograph set.
Alternatively, the shooting location may be other geographical location information, for example, Shenzhen Shun Hing Square, Shenzhen Dameisha Beach Park, and Shenzhen University. Multiple photographs whose shooting locations belong to Shenzhen Shun Hing Square are classified into a photograph set, multiple photographs whose shooting locations belong to Shenzhen Dameisha Beach Park are classified into another photograph set, and multiple photographs whose shooting locations belong to Shenzhen University are classified into another photograph set. Alternatively, the shooting location may be classified according to GPS location information, and may be specifically longitude and latitude information. For example, multiple photographs whose shooting locations belong to 113° 46′-114° 37′ east longitude and 22° 27′-22° 52′ north latitude are classified into a photograph set, and multiple photographs whose shooting locations belong to 114° 42′-115° 22′ east longitude and 25° 26′-26° 17′ north latitude are classified into another photograph set. Alternatively, the shooting location may be classified according to a distance, and locations within a preset distance range are regarded as a same shooting location. For example, a preset distance is 20 kilometers, and multiple photographs whose shooting locations are within a range of 20 kilometers are classified into a photograph set. For a user, multiple multimedia files having same geographical location information are usually related to each other, and the user may associate a multimedia file in the multiple multimedia files having the same geographical location information with another multimedia file generated at a same geographical location. Therefore, this classification manner may provide the user with a search clue when the user searches for a multimedia file.
In the third classification manner, the electronic device groups, into a multimedia file set, multiple multimedia files that are generated on a same date or several same dates of different years. The different years may be M (M>2) consecutive years, or M (M>2) non-consecutive years. For example, on a same date (January 1) of two consecutive years (2014 and 2015), if a user shoots N (N>1) photographs (a quantity of photographs shot on Jan. 1, 2014 may be the same as or different from a quantity of photographs shot on Jan. 1, 2015, and this is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention), the electronic device considers that the date (that is, January 1) is special for the user, and the electronic device groups, into a multimedia file set, the photographs shot on Jan. 1, 2014 and the photographs shot on Jan. 1, 2015. On a same date (March 3) of three non-consecutive years (2012, 2013, and 2015), if the user shoots N (N>1) photographs (a quantity of photographs shot on Mar. 3, 2012, a quantity of photographs shot on Mar. 3, 2013, and a quantity of photographs shot on Mar. 3, 2015 may be the same or different, and this is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention), and records Q (Q>1) videos (a quantity of videos recorded on Mar. 3, 2012, a quantity of videos recorded on Mar. 3, 2013, and a quantity of videos recorded on Mar. 3, 2015 may be the same or different, and this is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention), the electronic device classifies, into another multimedia file set, the photographs shot on Mar. 3, 2012, the videos recorded on Mar. 3, 2012, the photographs shot on Mar. 3, 2013, the videos recorded on Mar. 3, 2013, the photographs shot on Mar. 3, 2015, and the videos recorded on Mar. 3, 2015. For the user, multiple multimedia files that are generated on a same date or several same dates of different years are usually related to each other, and the user may associate a multimedia file in the multimedia file set with other multimedia files generated together with the multimedia file on a same date or several same dates. Therefore, this classification manner may provide the user with a search clue when the user searches for a multimedia file.
In the fourth classification manner, the electronic device groups, into a multimedia file set, the multiple multimedia files generated in the second preset time period on a same date or different dates, that is, the electronic device groups, into a multimedia file set, the multiple multimedia files with a regular time period or time point. The second preset time period may be 07:45:00-08:00:00, 11:45:00-12:00:00, 17:45:00-18:00:00, or the like. In an example of photographs, if a user is accustomed to shoot food, a day may be divided by time periods. For example, multiple photographs whose shooting time points belong to the time period 07:45:00-08:00:00 are classified into a photograph set as morning photographs, multiple photographs whose shooting time points belong to the time period 11:45:00-12:00:00 are classified into another photograph set as noon photographs, and multiple photographs whose shooting time points belong to the time period 17:45:00-18:00:00 are classified into another photograph set as evening photographs. For the user, multiple multimedia files generated in a same time period on different dates are usually related to each other, and the user may associate a multimedia file in the multiple multimedia files generated in the time period with another multimedia file generated together with the multimedia file in the same time period. Therefore, this classification manner may provide the user with a search clue when the user searches for a multimedia file.
In the fifth classification manner, the electronic device classifies the multiple multimedia files having the one or more specified objects into a multimedia file set. The specified object includes but is not limited to a person, an animal, a plant, a building, or the like. In an example of photographs, the electronic device may perform image recognition on the photographs to determine an object included in each photograph, so as to classify multiple photographs having one or more specified objects into a photograph set. The electronic device classifies multiple photographs including Zhang San into a photograph set, and classifies multiple photographs including Li Si into another photograph set; or classifies multiple photographs including the Great Wall into a photograph set, and classifies multiple photographs including the Tiananmen into a photograph set. For a user, multiple multimedia files having a same specified object are usually related to each other, and the user may associate a multimedia file in the multimedia file set with another multimedia file that has a same specified object as that of the multimedia file. Therefore, this classification manner may provide the user with a search clue when the user searches for a multimedia file.
In the sixth classification manner, the electronic device classifies the multiple multimedia files having a same label into a multimedia file set. In an example of photographs, a user may manually add a label to each photograph, for example, friend, classmate, family, client, parent-child, furniture, scenery, fitness, shopping, food, travel, WeChat, or QQ. The electronic device classifies multiple photographs having a same label into a photograph set according to a label of each photograph. For example, the electronic device classifies multiple photographs having a same label “WeChat” (indicating that this type of photographs are shared to WeChat, for example, shared to a WeChat friend, or shared to WeChat Moments) into a photograph set, and classifies multiple photographs having a same label “QQ” (indicating that this type of photographs are shared to QQ, for example, shared to a QQ friend, or shared to Qzone) into another photograph set; or classifies multiple photographs having a same label “classmate” into a photograph set, and classifies multiple photographs having a same label “client” into another photograph set. For the user, multiple multimedia files having a same label are usually related to each other, and the user may associate a multimedia file in the multimedia file set with another multimedia file that has a same label as that of the multimedia file. Therefore, this classification manner may provide the user with a search clue when the user searches for a multimedia file.
It should be noted that, the electronic device or the user may perform priority sorting on the foregoing preset rules in advance. For example, the first classification manner is set to a first priority, the second classification manner is set to a second priority, the third classification manner is set to a third priority, the fourth classification manner is set to a fourth priority, the fifth classification manner is set to a fifth priority, and the sixth classification manner is set to a sixth priority. The priorities may be sorted in another sequence, and this is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention. Therefore, if a multimedia file meets at least two of the foregoing preset rules, the multimedia file is classified according to a preset rule with a highest priority. For example, if a multimedia file may be not only classified into a multimedia file set in the first classification manner, but also may be classified into another multimedia file set in the second classification manner, according to the priority sequence, the multimedia file is classified only in the first classification manner. Alternatively, the multimedia file may be separately classified according to all different preset rules that the multimedia file meets, so that the multimedia file is classified into at least two multimedia file sets. Therefore, the multimedia file appears at least two times in multimedia file storage areas such as a gallery and a folder. Alternatively, the foregoing preset rules may be presented on a display screen of the electronic device for selection by the user. After the user selects a preset rule, the electronic device classifies the multimedia file according to the preset rule selected by the user. Further, if the user does not select a preset rule in a preset period of time, the electronic device selects a preset rule with a highest priority by default according to the priority sequence, to classify the multimedia file. The preset period of time may be one minute, two minutes, three minutes, or the like. There may be a default preset period of time in a system, and the user may modify the preset period of time.
S203. The electronic device determines one or more multimedia files with a largest quantity of times of a historical user operation in the first multimedia file set as a coordinate file of the first multimedia file set.
Specifically, after the electronic device classifies the multiple multimedia files stored in the electronic device, the electronic device determines the one or more multimedia files with the largest quantity of times of the historical user operation in the first multimedia file set as the coordinate file of the first multimedia file set. The coordinate file is used as an iconic multimedia file of the first multimedia file set, and the user may associate the coordinate file with another multimedia file that is related to the coordinate file. Therefore, when the user searches for a multimedia file, the coordinate file may provide a reference for the user, so that the user quickly finds the required multimedia file based on the coordinate file. The historical user operation includes but is not limited to viewing, editing, sharing, marking, using, or the like. For a photograph or a picture, the editing includes but is not limited to: modifying a name, adding a frame, adding a scenario, adding an accessory, facial beautifying, splicing pictures, tailoring, or the like. For audio or a video, the editing includes but is not limited to: modifying a name, adjusting a sound effect, adding a special effect, subtitling, recording, editing, and the like. For a document, the editing includes but is not limited to: modifying a name, converting a format, editing content, or the like. The sharing includes but is not limited to: sharing to an instant messaging application or publishing to cyberspace, for example, sharing to a WeChat friend, sharing to a QQ friend, sharing to a Renren friend, sharing to a Weibo friend, sharing to a Tieba friend, sharing to WeChat Moments, sharing to Qzone, sharing to Renren, sharing to Weibo, or sharing to Tieba. The marking includes but is not limited to: adding a time mark, adding a character name mark, adding a location mark, editing a mark, deleting a mark, or the like. The using includes but is not limited to: splicing pictures, making a poster, adding to another file as a material, or the like. The electronic device records a quantity of times, of a historical user operation, corresponding to each multimedia file. If there is one multimedia file with the largest quantity of times of the historical user operation in the first multimedia file set, the electronic device determines the multimedia file with the largest quantity of times of the historical user operation as the coordinate file of the first multimedia file set. If there are multiple multimedia files with the largest quantity of times of the historical user operation in the first multimedia file set, the electronic device may select one or more multimedia files from the multiple multimedia files, and determine the selected one or more multimedia files as the coordinate file of the first multimedia file set. A quantity of coordinate files may be edited or selected by the user.
It should be noted that, for another multimedia file set other than the first multimedia file set, one or more multimedia files with a largest quantity of times of a historical user operation may be similarly determined in each multimedia file set as a coordinate file of the multimedia file set, or a coordinate file of each multimedia file set may be determined in another manner, and this is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention. The another manner includes but is not limited to: an earliest generation time, or a largest quantity of included characters (when a multimedia file is a photograph, a picture, a video, or the like). Alternatively, the another manner may be: the user manually selects a coordinate file of each multimedia file set other than the first multimedia file set. In addition, after the electronic device determines the coordinate file of the first multimedia file set, the user may cancel the coordinate file at any time, and manually select another multimedia file in the first multimedia file set as a coordinate file, so that a personalized requirement of the user is met.
It should be noted that, after the electronic device determines the coordinate file of the first multimedia file set, if the user performs a new operation on a multimedia file in the first multimedia file set, and learns, by statistics collection, that a quantity of times of a historical user operation on the multimedia file exceeds a previously determined quantity of times of a historical user operation on the coordinate file, the electronic device may re-determine the coordinate file. In this way, the electronic device may update the coordinate file in real time in a use process of the user, so that the user is always relatively impressed with the coordinate file.
Optionally, when the user performs an operation on any multimedia file stored in the electronic device, the electronic device records this operation of the user, and updates a quantity of times, of a historical user operation, corresponding to the multimedia file. The electronic device may create a historical operation recording table for each multimedia file, and the historical operation recording table may include a multimedia file name, a historical user operation name, a quantity of times of a historical user operation, and the like. Each time the user performs an operation on a multimedia file, the electronic device needs to update a quantity of times, of a historical user operation, corresponding to the multimedia file. When recording a historical user operation name corresponding to a multimedia file, the electronic device may record a historical user operation name of each time one by one according to a sequence of historical operations performed by the user on the multimedia file, or may summarize a same historical user operation, and collect statistics about a quantity of times of each historical user operation for record by classification. This is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention.
For example, the electronic device classifies six photographs P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, and P6 stored in a gallery, to obtain two photograph sets: a photograph set 1 (including the photographs P1, P2, and P3) and a photograph set 2 (including the photographs P4, P5, and P6). The first multimedia file set is the photograph set 1. A historical operation recording table recorded in the electronic device is shown in Table 1.
It can be learned from Table 1 that, for the photograph set 1, a photograph with a largest quantity of times of a historical user operation is P2, and therefore, the electronic device uses P2 as a coordinate file of the photograph set 1. For the photograph set 2, if the electronic device similarly determines a coordinate file according to a quantity of times of a historical user operation, the electronic device determines P4 with a largest quantity of times of a historical user operation in the photograph set 2 as a coordinate file of the photograph set 2.
Optionally, the determining a multimedia file with a largest quantity of times of a historical user operation in the first multimedia file set as a coordinate file of the target classification file includes:
if there are multiple multimedia files with the largest quantity of times of the historical user operation in the first multimedia file set, determine a middlemost multimedia file as the coordinate file of the first multimedia file set according to generation time of the multimedia files.
Specifically, if there are multiple multimedia files with the largest quantity of times of the historical user operation in the first multimedia file set, all quantities of times of the historical user operation are 0, or not all quantities of times of the historical user operation are 0. For the case in which all the quantities of times of the historical operation are 0, for example, if the first multimedia file set includes five videos, and all the five videos are not operated by the user, the electronic device may select a video with a middlemost generation time in the five videos (when there is only one video with the middlemost generation time) as the coordinate file of the first multimedia file set; or if there are multiple videos with a middlemost generation time, the electronic device may select any one of the multiple multimedia files as the coordinate file of the first multimedia file set. This is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention. In addition, the electronic device may select a video with an earliest or a latest generation time in the five videos as the coordinate file of the first multimedia file set. For the case in which not all the quantities of times of the historical operation are 0, for example, if the first multimedia file set includes five videos, and quantities of times of a historical user operation on the five videos are respectively 1, 0, 3, 3, and 3, the electronic device may determine all three videos with a largest quantity of times of the historical user operation as the coordinate file of the first multimedia file set, or the electronic device selects a middlemost video as the coordinate file of the first multimedia file set according to generation time of the three videos (when there is only one video with a middlemost generation time), or selects a video with a largest quantity of times of historical user editing (a largest quantity of times of historical using, a largest quantity of times of historical viewing, or the like) in the three videos as the coordinate file of the first multimedia file set, or selects any one of the three videos as the coordinate file of the first multimedia file set. This is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention.
S205. The electronic device performs special marking on the coordinate file to differentially display the coordinate file and another multimedia file in the first multimedia file set.

The electronic device may perform special marking on the coordinate file by highlighting the coordinate file in a multimedia file storage area such as a gallery or a folder, so that the user quickly browses through multimedia files, clearly sees the coordinate file when performing flick browsing on the multimedia files, and quickly finds a required multimedia file based on the highlighted coordinate file.
For example, referring to
Optionally, a specific manner of performing, by the electronic device, special marking on the coordinate file to differentially display the coordinate file and another multimedia file in the first multimedia file set may be:
hiding, by the electronic device under the coordinate file, the another multimedia file in the first multimedia file set other than the coordinate file, to differentially display the coordinate file and the another multimedia file in the first multimedia file set.
Specifically, the electronic device may perform stack display on multimedia files in the first multimedia file set, to display the coordinate file of the first multimedia file set at the top of a screen of the electronic device, and hide, under the coordinate file, the another multimedia file other than the coordinate file. This stack display manner may also be used for another multimedia file set other than the first multimedia file set, to display a coordinate file of each multimedia file set at the top of a screen, and hide, under the corresponding coordinate file, another multimedia file other than the coordinate file. This display manner can optimize a display effect in a multimedia file storage area such as a gallery or a folder, so that a screen of the storage area such as the gallery or the folder is more concise. The user may associate a directly displayed coordinate file with another multimedia file related to the coordinate file. If the coordinate file is related to a multimedia file for which the user needs to search, the user may view another multimedia file under the coordinate file by performing an opening operation, so that the user quickly finds the required multimedia file by using the directly displayed coordinate file. When the electronic device receives the opening operation performed by the user on the coordinate file, the electronic device displays the another multimedia file under the coordinate file. When the electronic device receives a viewing operation performed by the user on the coordinate file, the electronic device may directly output content information (displaying a photograph, displaying a picture, playing music, playing a video, opening a document, or the like) corresponding to the coordinate file without displaying the another multimedia file under the coordinate file, and then display the content information of the coordinate file by receiving the viewing operation performed by the user on the coordinate file, so that a requirement of the user for quickly viewing the coordinate file can be met, and coordinate file viewing efficiency of the user is improved. The viewing operation includes but is not limited to: single-tapping, double-tapping, triple-tapping, long-time pressing, short-time pressing, light touching, pressing by using a preset pressure value, sliding in a preset direction, sliding by using a preset pattern, a preset floating operation, a preset voice, or the like. The opening operation includes but is not limited to: single-tapping, double-tapping, triple-tapping, long-time pressing, short-time pressing, light touching, pressing by using a preset pressure value, sliding in a preset direction, sliding by using a preset pattern, a preset floating operation, a preset voice, or the like. Pressing duration of the long-time pressing is longer than pressing duration of the short-time pressing. For example, the pressing duration of the short-time pressing may be one second, and the pressing duration of the long-time pressing may be two seconds, three seconds, five seconds, or the like. The light touching may be 1 Newton pressing, or the like. The preset pressure value may be 2 Newton, 3 Newton, 5 Newton, or the like. The preset direction includes but is not limited to: a preset up direction, a preset down direction, a preset left direction, a preset right direction, or the like. The preset pattern includes but is not limited to: a triangle, a circle, a zigzag, or the like. The preset floating operation includes but is not limited to a preset mid-air gesture such as fist-clenching, hand-swinging, or thumb-up. For example, the preset voice may be “open”, “view”, or the like. In addition, the viewing operation needs to be different from the opening operation. For example, the viewing operation is a single-tapping operation, and the opening operation is a sliding operation along the preset right direction.
Optionally, the first multimedia file set is a folder, and an icon of the folder is an icon corresponding to the coordinate file. The user may learn, by using the coordinate file, whether a multimedia file for which the user wants to search is related to the coordinate file, and then find the required multimedia file by viewing the another multimedia file under the coordinate file. This helps the user quickly find the required multimedia file by using the coordinate file as a search clue.
It should be noted that, if there are multiple coordinate files in the first multimedia file set, any one of the multiple coordinate files may be selected to be displayed at the top of the screen of the electronic device, or a coordinate file is selected from the multiple coordinate files according to a preset selection rule, and the selected coordinate file is displayed at the top of the screen of the electronic device. The preset selection rule includes but is not limited to: an earliest generation time, a middlemost generation time, a latest generation time, random selection, or the like.
For example, referring to

S207. The electronic device adds, to the coordinate file, an icon marking the historical user operation.
Specifically, the electronic device may automatically add a mark to the coordinate file according to a generation time and geographical location information of the coordinate file, or a name, a quantity of times, a time, frequency, and the like of a historical operation performed by the user on the coordinate file. Alternatively, the user may manually add a label to the coordinate photograph, to enrich information about the coordinate file, and provide more clues for search by the user, thereby bringing convenience to the user. In an example of photographs, the electronic device may mark a coordinate photograph according to a shooting date, a shooting location, or the like of the coordinate photograph, so that the user can learn of detailed information such as the shooting date and the shooting location of the coordinate photograph by viewing an icon. Alternatively, if a schedule or a memo is created on the shooting date corresponding to the coordinate photograph, the coordinate photograph may be marked according to the created schedule or the created memo. Alternatively, if the coordinate photograph is shared to WeChat Moments, the coordinate photograph may be marked according to this sharing record. A display manner of the icon may be: displaying the icon on the coordinate photograph, for example, adding a graphic mark to the coordinate photograph in a corner mark form. Specific content (for example, a shooting date, a shooting location, a shooting parameter, and a sharing record) of the icon is displayed if the user moves a finger or a cursor to the graphic mark. Alternatively, a display manner of the icon may be that the icon is not displayed on the coordinate file, but if a cursor or a finger stays on the coordinate photograph for more than a preset period of time, a small window is popped up to display specific content of the icon. The preset period of time may be one second, two seconds, five seconds, or the like. Alternatively, a display manner of the icon may be that the icon is hidden under the coordinate photograph, and when receiving a preset operation performed by the user on the coordinate photograph, the electronic device displays the icon in an area of a current screen in a pop-up window manner, or switches a current screen to another screen to display the icon. When an operation such as tapping performed by the user on an icon is received, specific content of the icon is displayed. The preset operation includes but is not limited to: a stretch gesture operation, a pinch gesture operation, or the like, and the preset operation is different from the viewing operation and the opening operation.
It should be noted that, the electronic device may not only mark the coordinate file, but also may mark another non-coordinate file, so as to help the user learn of detailed information about each multimedia file more accurately, and quickly find a multimedia file required by the user.
