Description

DATA PROCESSING METHOD, TERMINAL AND PRODUCT FOR

BACKING UP AND RESTORING DATA THEREOF

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] The application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201310323836.0, filed on July 29, 2013, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.

FIELD OF THE TECHNOLOGY

[0002] The invention relates to data processing technology, particularly to method, terminal and product for data processing to backup and restore data.

BACKGROUND OF THE TECHNOLOGY

[0003] When a system failure occurs, we need to reinstall the system. In this case, if we don't backup the installed software programs, the reinstalled the system will miss information. If we back up the software programs individually, the software programs will be fully recovered after the reinstallation.

[0004] In the prior art, a mirror image will back up a complete copy of all the installed software programs, files, and the personal data generated by the software program, such as the game progress and the chat history etc. So after reinstallation, when necessary, the complete mirror image may be used to recover the data and the software programs.

[0005] However, in practice, an individual backup cannot recover the personal data that are generated during the runtime of the software program. In addition, because a mirror image recovers the software programs and data all at once, the mirror image cannot perform data recovery selectively.

[0010] Based on the first example of the first aspect, after backing up the package and adding a BACKUP tag to the package, the method comprises: calculating, by the processor, a message digest value for the user-specified software program that runs normally; and sending, by the processor, the message digest value to a server so that the server can search the user-specific software program that matches the message digest value.

[0011] Base on the third possible example of the first aspect, the method further comprises: obtaining, by the processor, a normal software program which matches the message digest value corresponding to the user-specified software program from the server when an abnormal behavior of the user-specified software is detected.

[0014] According to the second aspect, in a first possible example of the terminal of the invention, the terminal further comprises: a receiving unit having one or more processors coupled with the memory that is used for receiving an instruction given by a user to back up the user-specified software program; a searching unit having one or more processors coupled with the memory that is used for finding the user-specified software program and the data that are relevant to the user-specified software program according to the instruction received by the receiving unit; a packaging unit having one or more processors coupled with the memory that is used for creating a package including the user-specified software program and the data that are relevant to the user-specified software program found by the searching unit; and a backing-up unit having one or more processors coupled with the memory that is used for backing up the package created by the packaging unit and adding the BACKUP tag to the package.

[0015] Based on the first example of the second aspect, in a second possible example, the searching unit is used for searching the user-specified software program and the data that are relevant to the user-specified software program based on a necessary relationship for running the user-specified software program according to a registry.

[0016] Based on the first or second possible example of the second aspect, in a third possible implementation, the terminal further comprises: a calculating unit having one or more processors coupled with the memory that is used for calculating a message digest value for the user-specified software program that runs normally; and a sending unit having one or more processors coupled with the memory that is used for sending the message digest value to a server so that the server can search the user-specific software program that matches the message digest value.

[0017] Based on the third possible example of the second aspect, in a fourth possible example, the obtaining unit is used for obtaining a normal software program which matches the message digest value corresponding to the user-specified software program from the server when an abnormal behavior of the user-specified software is detected by the detecting unit, and recovering the data that are relevant to the user-specified software program after the user-specified software program runs normally.

[0018] In a third aspect, the present disclosure provides a data processing product for backing and restoring data. The produce comprises: a non-transitory computer readable medium with processor executable instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to: obtain a user-specified backup package with a BACKUP tag; release a user-specified software program from the user-specific backup package; and recover the data that are relevant to the user-specified software program after the user-specified software program runs normally.

[0019] The examples of the present disclosure obtain a user-specified backup package with a BACKUP tag; release a user-specified software program from the backup package; recover the data relevant to the specified software program after the specified software program runs normally. Compared with the prior art, the data processing method of the present disclosure can recover the backup data selectively instead of a full recovery, and the efficiency of data recovery is thus improved.

[0038] The examples of the present disclosure provide a data processing method for backing up and restoring data, which may selectively recover the data so as to improve the efficiency of data recovery. The examples of the present disclosure also provide a corresponding terminal and produce. The details are described respectively in the following.

[0039] The technical solutions in the examples of the present disclosure are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the examples of the present disclosure. Apparently, the examples to be described are merely a part rather than all of the examples of the present disclosure. All other examples obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the examples of the present disclosure without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0040] Referring to Fig. 1 , according to one example of the present disclosure, the data processing method comprises the following steps. As shown in Fig. 1, Steps in Fig. 1 may be performed by one or more processors 1-10 to execute instructions stored in the memory 1-12.

[0041] Step 104: obtaining a user-specified backup package with a BACKUP tag.

[0042] The BACKUP tag could be a time-stamp. A time-stamp is an encrypted certificate which comprises 3 parts: (1) a digest of the document requiring a BACKUP tag, (2) the date and time stamp (DTS) when the document is received, (3) a digital signature of DTS.

[0043] The backup package in the examples of the present disclosure includes the user-specified software program and all the data relevant to the software program.

[0044] Step 105: releasing a user-specified software program from the user-specific backup package.

[0045] The user-specified software program in the examples of the present disclosure includes the operation data corresponding to the software program. The operation data includes data and data files that are required for the operation of the software program. The operation data may be data the software program needs to run or may be data generated as a result of running the software program. The operation data may also be part of the software program or external programs to support the running of the software programs. The document directory data may be generated during and after the installation of the software program.

[0046] Step 106: recovering the data that are relevant to the user-specified software program after the user-specified software program runs normally.

[0047] The data relevant to the specified software program in the examples of the present disclosure refers to the user data generated while a user runs the software program, for example, the game progress and the chat history etc.

[0048] Since not all the backup software programs may run normally, it should detect the condition of the specified software program first. If the software program runs normally, then it's allowed to recover the data relevant to the specified software program based on the data included in the backup package.

[0049] The examples of the present disclosure obtain a user-specified backup package with a BACKUP tag; release a user-specified software program from the backup package; recover the data relevant to the specified software program after the specified software program runs normally.

[0050] Compared with the prior art that may only make a full recovery, the data processing method provided by the examples of the present disclosure may selectively recover the backup data, so as to improve the efficiency of data recovery. [0051] Alternatively, based on the example illustrated in Fig. l, in an optional example of the method provided by the examples of the present disclosure, before said obtaining a user-specified backup package with a BACKUP tag, the method may also comprise:

[0052] Step 101 : receiving an instruction given by a user to backup the user-specified software program;

[0053] Step 102: finding the user-specified software program and the data that are relevant to the user-specified software program, and creating, by the processor, a package including the user-specified software program and the data; and

[0054] Step 103 backing up the package and adding the BACKUP tag to the package.

[0055] In the examples of the present disclosure, during backing up, the terminal doesn't need to back up all the software program and data, but just backup according to user's instructions. After receiving the instruction inputted by a user indicating to back up a specified software program, the terminal finds the specified software program and the data relevant to the software program, and creates a package which includes the specified software program and the data relevant to the specified software program, and backs up the package, then adds a BACKUP tag to the backup package.

Alternatively, based on the optional example illustrated in Fig. l, in another optional example of the data process method provided by the examples of the present disclosure, said finding the specified software program and the data relevant to the specified software program may comprise: searching the user-specified software program and the data that are relevant to the user-specified software program based on a necessary relationship for running the user-specified software program according to a registry.

[0056] In the examples of the present disclosure, the specified software program comprises the necessary driver such as driver or drivers that are required to run the program, and program data, and, the document directory data generated during and after the installation of the software program, such as the game progress and the chat history, etc. [0057] Alternatively, based on the optional example described above, in another optional example of the data processing method provided by the examples of the present disclosure, after said backing up the package and adding a BACKUP tag to the backup package, the method may also comprise: calculating a message digest value for the user-specified software program that runs normally; and sending the message digest value to a server so that the server may search the user-specific software program that matches the message digest value.

[0058] In the examples of the present disclosure, MD5( Message Digest Algorithm) could be used to calculate the message digest value of the data of the software program which runs normally. And send the message digest value to a server so that the server then searches the software program that matches the message digest value.

[0059] Actually, the directory data relevant to the specified software program may be sent along with the message digest value, in this way, the server may choose the operational data that match the message digest value according to the directory data.

[0060] Alternatively, based on the optional example described above, in another optional example of the data processing method provided by the examples of present disclosure, the method further comprises: obtaining a normal software program which matches the message digest value corresponding to the user-specified software program from the server when an abnormal behavior of the user-specified software is detected, recovering the data that are relevant to the user-specified software program after the user-specified software program runs normally.

[0061] In the examples of the present disclosure, when an abnormal behavior of the specified software program is detected, the terminal may obtain a normal software program from the server, wherein the normal software program is supposed to match the message digest value corresponding to the specified software program, and recover the data that are relevant to the user-specified software program after the user-specified software program runs normally. By this way, the method ensures the good recovery of the software program.

[0062] All steps of the method disclosed above are performed by using one or more processors 1-10 as shown in Fig. 1. [0063] For ease of understanding, referring to Fig. 2, an application scenario is provided as an example of the present disclosure to describe the process of the data processing method of the present disclosure. All steps shown in Fig. 2 are performed by one or more processors 2-10 to execute instructions stored in memory 2-12.

[0064] Step 200, a terminal receives an instruction given by a user to back up the user-specified software program.

[0065] Step 205, the terminal finds the user-specified software and the data that are relevant to the user-specified software, and creates a package including the user-specified software and the data.

[0066] Step 210, the terminal backups the package and adds the BACKUP tag to the package.

[0067] Step 215, the terminal calculates a message digest value for the user-specified software that runs normally.

[0068] Step 220, the terminal sends the message digest value to a server.

[0069] Step 225, the server searches the user-specific software program that matches the message digest value.

[0070] Step 230, the terminal obtains a user-specified backup package with a BACKUP tag.

[0071] Step 235, the terminal releases a user-specified software from the user-specific backup package.

[0072] Step 240, the terminal recovers the data that are relevant to the user-specified software after the user-specified software runs normally.

[0073] Step 245, the terminal obtains a normal software which matches the message digest value corresponding to the user-specified software from the server when an abnormal behavior of the user-specified software is detected, and recovers the data that are relevant to the user-specified software program after the user-specified software program runs normally.

[0074] Further, In Step 205, when the terminal finds the user-specified software and the data, the terminal may find documents to support the running of the user-specified software program according to the registry and the relevance of the documents for running the user-specified software program; and add the documents to the package for backing up.

[0075] In addition, Step 205, according a system log and the registry, the terminal may search a document directory that stores files generated from the running of user-specified software program and add the files as the part of the data for backing up.

[0076] Referring to Fig.3, the terminal may include various units. The units have structures with one or more processors 2-10 that execute instructions stored in memory 2-12. In an example of the present disclosure, the terminal comprises:

[0077] An obtaining unit 301 having one or more processors coupled with the memory that is used for obtaining a user-specified backup package with a BACKUP tag;

[0078] A releasing unit 302 having one or more processors coupled with the memory that is used for releasing a user-specified software program from the user-specific backup package that is obtained by the obtaining unit 301 ;

[0079] A detecting unit 303 having one or more processors coupled with the memory that is used for detecting if the user-specified software program released by the releasing unit 302 runs normally; and

A recovering unit 304 having one or more processors coupled with the memory that is used for recovering the data that are relevant to the user-specified software program after the detecting unit 303 confirms the user-specified software program runs normally.

[0080] In the example of the present disclosure, the obtaining unit 301 obtains a user-specified backup package with a BACKUP tag; the releasing unit 302 releases a user-specified software program from the backup package obtained by the obtaining unit 301 ; the detecting unit 303 detects if the specified software program released by the releasing unit 302 runs normally, the recovering unit 304 recovers the data relevant to the specified software program after the detecting unit 303 confirms the specified software program runs normally.

[0081] Compared with the prior art, the data processing method of the present disclosure may recover the backup data selectively instead of full recovery, so as to improve the efficiency of data recovery.

[0082] Based on the example illustrated in Fig.3, referring to Fig.4, in another example of the present disclosure, the terminal also comprises:

[0083] A receiving unit 305 having one or more processors coupled with the memory that is used for receiving an instruction given by a user to back up the user-specified software program;

[0084] A searching unit 306 having one or more processors coupled with the memory that is used for finding the user-specified software program and the data that are relevant to the user-specified software program according to the instruction received by the receiving unit 305;

[0085] The searching unit may find documents to support the running of the user-specified software program according to the registry and the relevance of the documents for running the user-specified software program, and add the documents to the package for backing up. Also, the searching unit may according a system log and the registry, search a document directory that stores files generated from the running of user-specified software program and add the files as the part of the data for backing up.

[0086] A packaging unit 307 having one or more processors coupled with the memory that is used for creating a package including the user-specified software program and the data that are relevant to the user-specified software program found by the searching unit 306; and

[0087] A backing-up unit 308 having one or more processors coupled with the memory that is used for backing up the package created by the packaging unit 307 and adding the BACKUP tag to the package.

[0088] All units in Fig. 4 have structures with one or more processors 4-10 that execute instructions stored in memory 4-12.

[0089] Based on the example illustrated in Fig. 4, in another example of the terminal of the present disclosure, the searching unit 306 is used for searching the user-specified software program and the data that are relevant to the user-specified software program based on a necessary relationship for running the user-specified software program according to a registry. [0090] Based on the example illustrated in Fig. 4, referring to Fig. 5, in another example of the terminal provided by the examples of the present disclosure, the terminal 30 further comprises:

[0091] A calculating unit 309 having one or more processors coupled with the memory that is used for calculating a message digest value for the user-specified software program that runs normally; and

[0092] A sending unit 310 having one or more processors coupled with the memory that is used for sending the message digest value to a server so that the server may search the user-specific software program that matches the message digest value.

[0093] All units in Fig. 5 have structures with one or more processors 5-10 that execute instructions stored in memory 5-12.

[0094] Based on the example illustrated in Fig.5, in another example of the terminal of the present disclosure, the obtaining unit 301 is used for obtaining a normal software program to execute, which matches the message digest value corresponding to the specified software program from the server when an abnormal behavior is detected by the detecting unit 303, and recovering the data that are relevant to the user-specified software program after the user-specified software program runs normally.

[0095] Referring to Fig. 6, it shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the terminal according to one example of the present disclosure. The terminal may be used to implement any data process method mentioned above. Specifically, the terminal 1200 may comprise a RF (Radio Frequency) circuit 110, a storage device 120 including one or more computer readable storage medium which may be either transitory or non-transitory, an input unit 130, a display unit 140, a sensor 150, an audio circuit 160, a Wifi (wireless fidelity) module 170, a single core or multi-core processor 180, a power supply 190 etc. One skilled in the art may understand that the structure illustrated in Fig 6 doesn't make any limitation to the terminal.

The storage device 120 may be used to store software programs and modules, the processor 180 performs all kinds of functions and processes data by executing the software program and module stored in the storage device 120. The storage device 120 mainly comprises an area for programs and an area for data. Wherein the area for programs may store the operating system, and application programs having at least one function (such as audio playback or image playback, etc); the area for data may store the data created while using the terminal 1200 (such as audio data, phone book, etc). Besides, the storage device 120 may include high speed random access memory, and nonvolatile memory as well, such as at least one disk storage device, flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state memory. Correspondingly, the storage device 120 may also include a memory controller, so that the processor 180 and the input unit may visit the storage device 120.

[0098] A product may be formed based on the storage device 120. The product may comprise: a non-transitory computer readable medium with processor executable instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to: obtain a user-specified backup package with a BACKUP tag; release a user-specified software program from the user-specific backup package; and recover the data that are relevant to the user-specified software program after the user-specified software program runs normally.
