Abstract: A data storage method is provided, which is applicable to a computer device having a RTC (real-time clock) unit and a memory card access unit. The method includes the steps of: (1) accessing the RTC unit for obtaining a time value of a particular date when the computer device receives a data storage request from the memory card access unit; (2) determining if a memory unit of the computer device performs data storage operation on the particular date; if no, setting an identification value to be 1 and going to step (4); if yes, obtaining an identification value of the latest processed folder of the particular date and going to step (3); (3) adding 1 to the identification value; and (4) using the time value obtained from the RTC unit and the identification value from step (2) as a folder name for data from the memory card access unit.

Abstract: A electronic file classification and storage system and method is proposed, which is designed for use to transfer a collection of files of various formats from a file source to a destination storage unit, and which is characterized by the capability of classifying these files based on their respective formats and then store these files in corresponding format-specific folders in the file management system of the destination storage unit. This feature allows the user to more easily and quickly find a file of a particular format in the file management system of the destination storage unit, and since files of the same format are stored in one specific folder, it allows the user to more efficiently and structurally manage the files in the file management system of the destination storage unit.
