Memory freeing method and device

Abstract

The invention discloses a memory freeing method and device and belongs to the technical field of terminals. The method comprises the steps that progresses are established for application programs, wherein the progresses at least comprise a background running progress and a temporary progress, the background running progress occupies a first memory, and the temporary progress occupies a second memory; if a terminal is in a screen lock state, whether the temporary progress meets a memory freeing condition is judged; if the temporary progress meets the memory freeing condition, the temporary progress is shut down so that the second memory occupied by the application program can be freed. According to the memory freeing method and device, when the terminal is in the screen lock state, the second memory occupied by the application program is freed according to judgment of whether the temporary progress of the application program meets a memory freeing condition or not, the memory is freed according to the memory freeing condition under the condition that normal running of the application program is not affected, and implementation is flexible.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of terminals, in particular to a memory release method and device. Background technique [0002] With the popularization and development of terminal technologies, users have increasing demands on terminal functions. In order to realize multiple different functions, multiple different application programs need to be installed on the terminal. When the application program is running, it needs to occupy part of the memory of the terminal. Therefore, once multiple applications are running at the same time, the available memory of the terminal will be greatly reduced, and the performance of the terminal will be reduced. In order to solve the above problems, a memory release method is proposed. [0003] The existing method for realizing memory release is as follows: when the application program is running, use a third-party process management tool to receive the user's command to close a certain process ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] When the existing technology implements the method of memory release, it needs to rely on the user to close the process to release the memory, which is not flexible enough in implementation, and when the running process is forcibly closed, it may accidentally close the process that is processing important tasks. process, affecting the normal operation of the application
