Terminal Redundancy Estimation and Threshold-Based Cleanup
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for removing redundant information from terminals are inefficient, as users often lack awareness of actual redundancy values, leading to delayed cleanup and resource consumption through scanning processes, which slows down terminal performance.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that calculate an estimated redundancy value based on historical data, prompting users to remove redundant information when it reaches a threshold, thereby avoiding the need for scanning and conserving system resources.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If users perform scanning through an application program to acquire actual redundancy value, then redundant information can be accurately identified and removed, but system resources are consumed and user time is wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary estimation of redundancy values in the background without user intervention, using historical data and algorithms to predict redundancy before the user requests cleanup. This preliminary action provides advance notice to the user about the expected redundancy amount, eliminating the need for time-consuming scanning operations when the user actually performs cleanup.
2Measurement precision
If scanning is performed to detect redundant information, then accurate redundancy measurement is achieved, but terminal performance is degraded due to resource consumption
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically estimating redundancy values using background processes and historical data, without requiring the user to initiate resource-intensive scanning operations. The terminal independently monitors and evaluates its own redundancy status, providing this information to the user when needed without impacting overall system performance.
3Loss of information
If active scanning is performed to identify redundant information, then users can know the actual redundancy value, but users still cannot timely remove redundant information to improve terminal performance
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback by continuously estimating redundancy values in the background and providing this information to the user proactively. When redundancy exceeds a threshold, the system notifies the user in advance, enabling timely cleanup actions. This feedback mechanism keeps users informed about redundancy status without requiring them to initiate scanning operations.

AI summary
This application relates to the technical field of network communications, and discloses a method and an apparatus for removing redundant information of a terminal. The method includes the steps of: calculating an estimated redundancy value of at least one type of redundant information in a terminal; determining that a redundancy value of a type of redundant information reaches a threshold of the type of redundancy value; prompting a user to remove redundant information; and according to confirmation from the user, removing the type of redundant information or all redundant information. The apparatus includes a first calculating unit, a determining unit, a prompting unit and a cleanup unit. According to the method and the apparatus of this application, an estimated redundancy value of redundant information of a terminal can be calculated actively by analyzing historical redundant data information of a user, and the user is prompted to process redundant information that reaches a threshold without the need for scanning, thereby saving system resources, improving system performance and also saving user time.
