Browser Process Optimization via Resource Occupation Visualization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current browsers are inefficient in optimizing performance due to poor web page design and excessive resource occupation, leading to slow running speeds, which existing solutions like expanding virtual memory or stopping background services do not effectively address.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that obtain and display resource occupation information of browser and system processes, allowing users to perform optimization processing by closing unnecessary processes and freeing memory, thereby accelerating browser speed.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users open more web pages and applications to increase functionality, then the browser's versatility improves, but the running speed deteriorates due to excessive resource occupation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses visual color coding (red, yellow, green indicators) to represent different levels of resource occupation by processes. This allows users to quickly identify which processes are consuming excessive resources without needing to analyze numerical data, enabling fast optimization decisions that restore browser speed while maintaining necessary functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an optimization program as an intermediary between the user and browser processes. This program automatically detects resource occupation levels, identifies problematic processes, and provides optimization recommendations, bridging the gap between user intent to maintain speed and the actual state of resource consumption
2Speed
If users manually manage browser processes to improve speed, then running speed may improve, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to complex management requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The optimization program operates autonomously to detect, analyze, and identify processes that are consuming excessive resources. It automatically generates optimization recommendations without requiring users to understand process management concepts, making the speed optimization process simple while maintaining effectiveness
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the optimization program continuously monitors resource occupation levels and provides real-time recommendations to users. This feedback loop allows users to make informed decisions about which processes to optimize, balancing speed improvement with operational simplicity
3Quantity of substance
If existing solutions like expanding virtual memory are used to address slow browser speed, then memory capacity increases, but the root cause of excessive resource occupation by processes remains unaddressed
Solution Approach 1:
The optimization program proactively identifies processes that are consuming excessive resources before they cause significant performance degradation. By detecting and addressing resource occupation issues in advance, the system prevents browser slowdowns rather than merely compensating for them with additional memory capacity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and isolates the problematic element (excessive resource occupation by specific processes) from the overall system. By identifying and targeting individual processes that consume disproportionate resources, the solution addresses the root cause directly rather than applying a general remedy like expanding virtual memory

AI summary
The invention discloses a method and apparatus for optimizing the running of a browser. The method comprises: obtaining information of browser processes at the browser side and their first resource occupation information; obtaining information of currently running processes of a computer system where the browser is located and their second resource occupation information through a browser interface; loading and displaying information of at least a part of processes which meet a preset resource occupation optimization setting in the obtained information of the browser processes and information of the currently running processes of the computer system where the browser is located and/or their resource occupation information at the browser side; and according to an optimization instruction triggered by a user, performing process optimization processing to the displayed at least a part of processes. By the invention, resource occupation situations of all processes to be optimized can be presented to a user, thereby facilitating the selection of the process optimization processing by the user, and then the optimization processing is performed to the process selected by the user, to increase the running speed of the browser.
