Method, system and intelligent terminal for scanning files

The invention belongs to the field of an application technology for intelligent operating systems, and provides a method, a system and an intelligent terminal for scanning files. The method includes monitoring scanning broadcast signals transmitted by a kernel of an operating system; reading a preliminarily stored scanning configuration file corresponding to a current user according to the monitored scanning broadcast signals; and scanning external memory equipment according to a scanning path in the scanning configuration file and updating scanning result information to a scanning database corresponding to the current user. The scanning configuration file of the user is preliminarily stored, and the scanning path specified by the scanning configuration file is scanned. Compared with an existing complete system scanning mode, the method, the system and the intelligent terminal have the advantages that the scanning path can be flexibly set by the user, accordingly, the scanning time can be shortened, resources
