Web Browser Scripting Worker Threads Parallel Execution

The patent segments the single-threaded event handler execution into multiple independent worker threads. Each worker thread can execute time-consuming operations independently without blocking other operations. The root script remains on the main thread while worker scripts handle computational tasks, I/O operations, or rendering in parallel, thus resolving the blocking issue while maintaining simple event handler semantics within each thread.

The patent transitions from a single-threaded sequential execution model to a multi-threaded parallel execution model by adding a temporal dimension. Instead of executing operations one after another in a single thread, the system creates multiple threads that can execute operations simultaneously, effectively adding a time dimension to the execution model and eliminating blocking.

The patent implements self-service by allowing worker scripts to automatically manage their own execution and communication. Each worker script receives tasks through a standardized message queue interface and executes them independently without requiring manual splitting or complex bookkeeping. The system provides automatic task distribution and result collection mechanisms that eliminate the need for manual operation division while maintaining performance.

The patent creates a universal worker script framework that can handle various types of operations (computational, I/O, rendering) through a common message queue interface. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for separate bookkeeping mechanisms for different operation types, as all operations use the same standardized communication protocol, thereby reducing overhead while maintaining efficiency.
