This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No.201310639728.4, entitled “METHOD FOR ACQUIRING MEMORY INFORMATION, AND TERMINAL” , filed with the Chinese Patent Office on November 28, 2013, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety herein.

Field of the Technology

The present disclosure relates to the field of information processing technology, particularly to a method for acquiring memory information, and a terminal.

Background

When an application is run in a terminal, a process of the application may occupy some memory spaces. To acquire a state of a memory occupied by the process, a user needs to initiatively trigger an acquisition, to obtain a memory snapshot of the process, i.e., the state of the memory occupied by the process. Then, whether the process should be optimized may be determined according to the state of the memory occupied by the process.

By studying and practicing a common scenario, it is found that according to the common scenario, it is impossible for the user to trigger, in a real time manner, the acquisition of the state of the memory occupied by the process. Therefore, the user can not obtain information on the memory occupied by the process in a real time manner.

Detailed Description of Embodiments

A method for acquiring memory information is provided according to embodiments of the disclosure, to automatically acquire information on memory occupied by a process. A corresponding terminal is further provided according to embodiments of the disclosure. The detailed description thereof is provided as follows.

Technical solutions in the embodiments of the disclosure are clearly and completely described below in combination with the drawings for the embodiments of the disclosure. Apparently, the described embodiments are merely a few instead of all embodiments of the disclosure. Based on the embodiments of the disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of the disclosure

As shown in Fig. 1, a method for acquiring memory information according to an embodiment of the disclosure includes steps 101-104.

Step 101 includes: monitoring a memory space occupied by each of multiple processes.

In a terminal device, a processor may process multiple processes simultaneously. Therefore, the memory may be occupied by the multiple processes simultaneously, and each process corresponds to the occupied memory space.

Step 102 includes: determining whether a memory space occupied by one of the processes exceeds a preset threshold corresponding to the process；

Step 103 includes: acquiring a memory snapshot of the process, in a case that the memory space occupied by the process exceeds the preset threshold corresponding to the process, where the memory snapshot is memory description information of the memory space occupied by the process.

The memory description information may include the memory space occupied by the process, and legality of the process occupying the memory.

Various processes have different preset thresholds. Preset thresholds of several processes are illustrated in Table 1.

Table 1: correspondence table of processes and thresholds

name of process	threshold (MB)
name of process	threshold (MB)	com. tencent. apt	10
com. tencent. apt: mss	15	com. tencent. apt	10
com. tencent. apt: mss	15	com. tencent. qq	40

The thresholds may be preset by a programmer. Thus, the corresponding thresholds will be obtained when the application is downloaded and installed.

For example, it is acquired that the memory space occupied by the process com. tencent. apt is 20 MB, and the memory space occupied by the process com. tencent. apt is compared with the preset threshold 10 MB of the process to determine that the memory space occupied by the process com. tencent. apt is larger than the preset threshold 10 MB. In this case, a memory snapshot of the process com. tencent. apt is acquired. The memory snapshot may include memory description information, which may be for example that the memory space occupied by the process com. tencent. apt is 20 MB, and that the process illegally occupies memory.

Step 104 includes: displaying the memory description information of the memory space occupied by the process.

After an improper memory occupancy of any one of the processes is determined, the memory description information corresponding to the process may be displayed to a user. Therefore, the user can determine how to deal with the situation.

In an embodiment of the disclosure, the memory space occupied by each process is monitored. When a memory space occupied by a process among the multiple processes exceeds a threshold corresponding to the process, a memory snapshot of the process is acquired, where the memory snapshot is memory description information of the memory occupied by the process. Then, the memory description information of the memory occupied by the process is displayed. With the method for acquiring the memory information according to the embodiment of the disclosure, information on memory occupied by the process can be automatically acquired, in the case that the memory space occupied by the process is larger than the preset threshold； and the acquired information is displayed to the user. Thus, the user can obtain information on memory space occupied by the process timely.

Based on the foregoing embodiment corresponding to Fig. 1, a method for acquiring memory information is provided according to another embodiment of the disclosure. As shown in Fig. 2, before the monitoring a memory space occupied by each of multiple processes, the method further includes

steps

1021 and 1022.

Step 1021 includes: receiving thresholds of the memory spaces occupied by respective processes, where the thresholds are input by a user； and

Step 1022 includes: associating a name of each process with the threshold of the memory space occupied by the process； and storing the associated name and threshold.

In this embodiment, the thresholds of the memory spaces occupied by respective processes may be set by the user. The user may set various thresholds of occupied memory spaces for different processes. After receiving the thresholds of occupied memory spaces set for respective processes, a terminal associates a name of each process and the threshold of the memory space occupied by the process, and stores the associated name and threshold.

Based on the foregoing embodiment as shown in Fig. 1, in another embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in Fig. 3, after the displaying the memory description information of the memory space occupied by the process, the method further includes

steps

1031 and 1032.

Step 1031 includes: receiving an optimization instruction of the process, where the optimization instruction is input by the user and adapted to optimize an assigned application； and

Step 1032 includes: optimizing the assigned application according to the optimization instruction.

In this embodiment, in the case that a terminal displays the memory description information of the process to indicate that the occupied memory space is larger than the preset threshold, the user can understand that an application, corresponding to the process occupying memory space larger than the preset threshold, should be optimized. Then, the user may input an optimization instruction to the terminal. After receiving the optimization instruction, the terminal optimizes the corresponding application. A process of the optimization may include downloading a patch, or updating to a latest version.

Based on the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the embodiment shown in Fig. 2, or the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, in another embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in Fig. 4, after the acquiring a memory snapshot of a process, the method further includes

steps

1041 and 1042.

Step 1041 includes: continuously monitoring the memory space occupied by the process； and

Step 1042 includes: no more acquiring the memory snapshot of the process, in a case that the memory space occupied by the process keeps larger than the preset threshold corresponding to the process.

In this embodiment, after the terminal determines that the memory space occupied by the process is larger than the preset threshold, it is possible that the memory space occupied by the process keeps larger than the preset threshold during a period. During this period, the memory information described by the memory snapshot is invariant. To avoid a repeated acquisition of the memory snapshot of the process, the memory snapshot is acquired only once during the period when the memory space occupied by the process keeps larger than the preset threshold.

Based on the foregoing embodiments, in another embodiment of the disclosure, as shown in Fig. 5, the method for acquiring memory information further include

steps

1051 and 1052

Step 1051 includes: monitoring the memory space occupied by the process again, in the case that it is determined that the memory space occupied by the process is less than or equal to the preset threshold； and

Step 1052 includes: acquiring another memory snapshot of the process, in the case that the memory space occupied by the process exceeds the threshold again.

In this embodiment, if it is monitored that the memory space occupied by the process is no larger than the preset threshold, it means the process may have been optimized. If the memory space occupied by the process exceeds the preset threshold again, it needs to acquire another memory snapshot of the process occupying memory space larger than the preset threshold. In this way, the user may be convenient to learning the evolvement of the process.

As shown in Fig. 6, a terminal is provided according to an embodiment of the disclosure. The terminal includes one or more processors and memory having instructions stored thereon, and the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the processors to perform operations includes:

a display unit 204, adapted to display the memory description information of the memory occupied by the process, where the memory description information is acquired by the acquisition unit 203.

In the embodiment, the acquisition unit 203 is adapted to acquire a memory snapshot of a process, in the case that the determining unit 202 determines that the memory space occupied by the process exceeds the preset threshold corresponding to the process. With the terminal for acquiring the memory information according to the embodiment of the disclosure, information on memory occupied by the process can be automatically acquired, in the case that memory space occupied by the process is larger than the preset threshold； and the acquired information is displayed to a user. In this way, the user can obtain information on the memory space occupied by the process timely.

Optionally, the touch-sensitive surface 131 may include a touch detection device and a touch controller. The touch detection device detects the position of the touch performed by the user and a signal caused by the touch operation, and sends the signal to the touch controller. The touch controller receives touch information from the touch detection device； converts the information into coordinates of the touch point； then sends the coordinates of the touch point to the processor 180； and receives and executes a command sent from the processor 180.

On the other hand, the microphone 162 converts the collected sound signal into an electrical signal. After receiving the electrical signal, the audio circuit 160 converts the received electrical signal into audio data and outputs the audio data to the processor 180. After the audio data are processed by the processor 180, the processed audio data are then sent to for example another terminal via the RF circuit 110 or are output to the memory 120 to further process.
