Browser memory release method and device

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for freeing the memory of a browser. The method for freeing the memory of the browser comprises the following steps that when a browser memory freeing request is detected, all access pages of the browser are obtained; the proportion values of all the access pages are calculated according to historical access times and historical page focus characteristics; all the access pages are ranked according to the proportion values, and the access page with the smallest proportion value is freed till the memory of the browser is smaller than a preset threshold value. The invention further discloses a device for freeing the memory of the browser. According to the method and device for freeing the memory of the browser, when the browser memory freeing request is detected, the proportion values of the access pages are calculated according to the historical access times and the historical page focus characteristics, then the page which is most suitable for being eliminated is screened out, the number of the pages which are eliminated is reduced, the possibility of recovery of the eliminated pages is lowered, waiting time is shortened for a user when historical access pages are switched, and the efficiency of having access to the pages is improved.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the computer field, in particular to a method and device for releasing memory of a browser. Background technique [0002] Through the browser on the terminal device, you can access multiple window pages at the same time to obtain the information you need. However, terminal browser products use browser controls to access a web page, which will occupy a certain amount of memory, so only a certain number of pages can be opened at a time. And the history pages visited will also be saved for the user's next visit. In order to enable the browser control to access the page smoothly, sufficient memory must be guaranteed, so the memory must be released in time. In the prior art, when the memory reaches a critical value, the historical access time comparison algorithm is used to calculate the earliest part of the historical access page, and part or all of the browser control memory of the page is released. [0003] The above memory r...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] The above memory release scheme may release the focus page of the non-focus window, causing the user to wait for the page to be restored when switching windows, so pages that cannot be released quickly and efficiently occupy memory
