MEMORY MANAGEMENT METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17928546 titled 'MEMORY MANAGEMENT METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Simplified Explanation:
The patent application describes a method for managing memory in electronic devices by monitoring the virtual memory usage of running applications and killing processes that exceed a certain threshold to prevent memory leaks.
- The method starts by providing virtual memory to an application.
- It then checks the virtual memory space occupied by the application while it is running.
- If the virtual memory space exceeds a certain threshold, the method checks the bitness of the process run by the application.
- Based on the bitness of the process, a process-killing operation is performed on the application to prevent memory leaks.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Monitoring virtual memory usage of running applications.
- Killing processes that exceed a certain threshold to prevent memory leaks.
- Checking the bitness of processes run by applications to determine memory management actions.
Potential Applications:
This technology can be applied in various electronic devices such as smartphones, computers, and servers to efficiently manage memory usage and prevent memory leaks.
Problems Solved:
This technology addresses the issue of memory leaks in running applications by monitoring virtual memory usage and taking appropriate memory management actions.
Benefits:
- Prevents memory leaks in running applications.
- Optimizes memory usage in electronic devices.
- Improves overall performance and stability of applications.
Commercial Applications:
Title: Memory Management Method for Electronic Devices This technology can be commercially used in software development, operating systems, and electronic device manufacturing industries to enhance memory management capabilities and improve the performance of applications.
Questions about Memory Management Method for Electronic Devices:
1. How does the method determine when to kill a process based on the bitness of the process? 2. What are the potential implications of preventing memory leaks in running applications?
Original Abstract Submitted
A memory management method and an electronic device are disclosed. The method includes: starting an application and providing virtual memory to the application; checking a space of the virtual memory occupied while the application is running; checking bitness of a process run by the application when the space of the virtual memory occupied is greater than a first threshold; and performing a process-killing operation on the application based on the bitness of the process run by the application. In the foregoing method, a specific application is checked and killed according to a preset policy by combining multi-dimensional information according to occupancy of virtual memory based on a memory exception occurring in a running application, so as to resolve a memory leak problem.
