Mobile Terminal Data Processing Sub-thread Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current data processing in mobile terminals, executed in the main thread, becomes tedious and time-consuming when handling large data requests, leading to UI thread jams and system instability, affecting user interface display performance.
Innovation Solution
Data computation is performed in a sub-thread, while data loading and display are handled in the main thread, employing a multithread working mode to improve efficiency and prevent UI thread jams.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If data computation is performed in the main thread, then data processing can be completed, but UI thread jam occurs and system stability deteriorates when handling large data requests
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the data processing task into two distinct parts: data computation (traversing, creating data objects, sorting) and UI operations (loading and displaying data). By separating these tasks into different threads - computation in sub-threads and UI operations in the main thread - the system avoids UI thread jams while maintaining processing capability, thus resolving the contradiction between productivity and reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces computation results as an intermediary data structure that bridges the sub-thread computation process and the main thread UI operations. This intermediary allows the computation thread to produce results independently without blocking the UI thread, enabling asynchronous data processing while preserving system stability and UI responsiveness
2Productivity
If data computation is performed in the main thread, then complete data processing is achieved, but user interface display performance deteriorates due to thread jam
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the processing pipeline into computation segment (in sub-threads) and display segment (in main thread). This segmentation allows data computation to proceed independently without blocking UI operations, ensuring both complete data processing and smooth UI display performance by eliminating thread contention
Solution Approach 2:
By running data computation in sub-threads while the main thread continues UI operations, the system maintains continuous useful action in both threads. The computation proceeds asynchronously without interrupting UI responsiveness, ensuring neither data processing completeness nor UI display performance is compromised

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses a data processing method, apparatus and mobile terminal. In the data processing method, the mobile terminal performs data computation in a sub-thread of the current program when a data request is received. The mobile terminal loads the requested data in the main thread of the current program based on the data computation results and displays the loaded requested data. The present disclosure ensures the smoothness of user interface threads, the stability of systems, and the display performance of user interfaces.
