Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a system optimization progress indicator, a method, and a computer readable recording medium. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0002]

The present invention relates to optimization of a system performance of a computer, and more particularly, to a system optimization progress status display device and method capable of displaying a task progress status more reliably when a system optimization task is executed for a plurality of optimization items, Readable recording medium.

With the development of science and the emergence of new technologies, computer processing speed is increasing and becoming more and more sophisticated. However, once a computer has been purchased, the processing speed becomes slower and more frequent as time passes by various tasks.

In order to solve such a problem, many applications have recently been installed in a personal computer (PC) to optimize the state of the system.

Optimization tasks performed for system optimization (or Internet optimization) in these applications include deleting window temporary files, deleting window open lists / autocomplete records, deleting Internet temporary files, removing fast malware, modifying the registry, Cleaning personal information, cleaning junk files, deleting ActiveX, deleting startup programs, and so on.

Also, as a technique for optimizing the performance of such a computer, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0978425 entitled " Method for Optimizing Computer Performance and Optimized Main Nonvolatile Memory Device Document 1) discloses a method for optimizing the performance of a computer by creating specific purpose sections in a main nonvolatile storage medium such as a hard disk drive.

On the other hand, currently developed optimization programs (eg, Next Cleaner, "Advanced SystemCare", pills, "V3 Lite", etc.) all provide one-click optimization . This one-click optimization function is a process in which a plurality of items (for example, unnecessary registry deletion, deletion of unnecessary system files, return of unnecessary memory, deletion of internet temporary files, etc.) (Aka, "Progress bar") as shown in FIG.

That is, referring to FIG. 1, when the optimization program 100 installed in the PC is executed and the PC optimization 110 function is selected and executed, a plurality of system optimization items are sequentially or simultaneously executed with a single click. At this time, as shown in FIG. 1, the progress of the system optimization operation is displayed in the form of a progress bar 120, so that the user can easily know the progress of the work. For example, as shown in the figure, progress bars are gradually filled from 0 to 100% along with the progress of the entire steps, thereby visually confirming the progress of the work.

In addition, referring to FIG. 2, an optimization progress state 200 of each individual item among a plurality of optimization items is visualized in a progress bar form, thereby showing which stage of an item is currently under optimization, It is.

3 and 4, the fast optimization program 300 is executed and the fast malware removal 310, the registry modification 320, the shortcut modification 330, Personal information cleaning 340, junk file cleaning 350, and the like.

However, these conventional methods have the following problems.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, since the optimization time of each individual item is different in the method of representing the entire optimization time in the progress bar, the progress bar progresses slowly in the optimization period of the specific item, And so on. Therefore, even if the user confirms the progress bar, the user can not predict the completion time of the entire optimization operation, and can not grasp the actual progress of the operation with respect to time.

In addition, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, it is difficult to know how much progress has been made in the entire process, and it is impossible to predict the time required until completion of the entire item .

In other words, both of the above methods have a limitation that it is difficult to predict the entire optimization completion time because the progress bar does not provide a unique function for expressing the progress elapsed time in which the optimization function is operated to the user.

Thus, there is a need for a more substantial and user-predictable method of displaying system optimization states.

The following detailed description of the invention refers to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate, by way of illustration, specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention. It should be understood that the various embodiments of the present invention are different, but need not be mutually exclusive. For example, certain features, structures, and characteristics described herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention in connection with an embodiment. It is also to be understood that the position or arrangement of the individual components within each disclosed embodiment may be varied without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is to be limited only by the appended claims, along with the full scope of equivalents to which the claims are entitled, if properly explained. In the drawings, like reference numerals refer to the same or similar functions throughout the several views.

The present invention relates to a system optimization progress status display apparatus and method capable of displaying a task progress status corresponding to an actual processing expected time so that a user can more practically confirm a task progress status when a task for optimizing system performance is executed in a general computer .

Meanwhile, for effective application of the present invention, it is preferable that a plurality of respective optimization items for the system optimization task are executed simultaneously. Thus, for example, a plurality of threads are created at the same time, and each optimization item is progressed simultaneously.

As such, when a plurality of optimization items are simultaneously executed, the total optimization time can be influenced by items that require the longest processing time. Therefore, the entire work progress state is shown in consideration of the progress of the item that takes the longest time.

At this time, it is highly likely that the item that takes the most time to optimize the computer system is the one that generates the most I / O of the hard disk. Therefore, an item that is expected to generate the most input / output of the hard disk is selected and reflected in the overall optimization progress status display.

The hard disk input / output is heavily influenced by the number of files to be processed. Therefore, it is preferable to select an optimization item having the largest number of files to be processed (for example, deleted) among a plurality of optimization items to be executed in total. On the other hand, when there are two or more optimization items having the largest number of files to be processed among a plurality of optimization items, the optimization item having the largest total capacity of the files to be processed can be selected.

Meanwhile, the system optimization items in the present invention include, for example, malicious code removal, registry modification, shortcut correction, personal information cleaning, junk file cleaning, window temporary file deletion, window opened list / , Deletion of an ActiveX (ActiveX), deletion of a start program, and the like, and the present invention is not limited thereto, and any item that can be performed on a computer for system optimization can be included in the present invention.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can easily carry out the present invention.

First, when the user executes the system optimization program to request the system optimization execution by selecting some items among the system optimization whole items or all the items, the optimization item scanning unit 510 scans the entire system, (E.g., files, etc.), and / or the like.

When the scanning operation of the optimization item scanning unit 510 is completed as described above, the number of processes and the capacity of each optimization item are calculated as shown in Table 1 or Table 2 of the embodiment to be described later.

When the scanning operation is completed, the reference item selection unit 520 selects a criterion item for displaying the optimization progress status among the overall optimization performance items from the scanning result. The reference item selection method can be variously set according to the embodiment of the present invention. For example, an item that most needs hard disk input / output may be selected as a criterion item, and an item having the largest number of files to be processed may be selected as a criterion item. On the other hand, when a plurality of items having the largest number of files to be processed are the same number as in the example of Table 2, items having a large total capacity of the files to be processed can be selected as reference items. A detailed embodiment of the reference item selection method will be described later in the description of FIG.

When the reference item is selected as described above, the overall progress indicator 530 displays the overall progress of the system optimization based on the selected reference item. For example, the processing state (e.g., progress rate) of the selected reference item may be examined and displayed as a whole progress state.

On the other hand, the optimization executing unit 540 may perform the optimization operation immediately upon completion of the scanning of the optimization item scanning unit 510, or may perform the optimization operation according to the user's additional execution instruction after the scanning according to the setting. At this time, a plurality of optimization items can be executed simultaneously by generating a plurality of threads according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the meantime, each component of the system optimization progress indicator 500 is shown separately in order to show that it can be functionally and logically separated, and is physically separate component or implemented as a separate code It does not mean that.

In this specification, each function means a functional and structural combination of hardware for carrying out the technical idea of the present invention and software for driving the hardware. For example, each functional unit may refer to a logical unit of a predetermined code and a hardware resource for executing the predetermined code, and may be a code physically connected to the functional unit, But can be easily deduced to the average expert in the field of the invention.

How to show the progress of system optimization

6 is a flowchart illustrating a system optimization progress status display procedure according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 6, first, a system optimization program is executed to select an item to be optimized, and a request is made to perform optimization (S601). At this time, the optimization item can be selected by the user among the entire optimization items, or all the optimization items can be selected at once.

When the execution of the optimization is requested, first (S602) is performed for each item to be optimized. The number or capacity of files to be processed for each item is determined according to the scanning as described above. At this time, a criterion item for the optimization progress indication is selected from the scanning results for each item (S603) according to the embodiment of the present invention.

Then, an optimization operation for the selected items to be optimized is executed (S604). At this time, it is preferable to generate a plurality of threads and simultaneously execute a plurality of optimization items as described above.

The entire optimization progress state may be displayed in the form of a progress bar (S605) according to the optimization execution. At this time, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the entire optimization progress state may be displayed in consideration of the optimization progress state of the selected reference item can do.

7 is a flowchart illustrating a reference item selection procedure for displaying a system optimization progress status according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The reference item selection method in the reference item selection step (S603) of FIG. 6 may be variously implemented. For example, referring to FIG. 7, first, the number and capacity of files to be processed for each reference item are checked with reference to the scanned result (S701). On the other hand, among the plurality of optimization items, only those items that require a large amount of input / output of the hard disk can be selected as candidate items of the reference items. Then, the estimated time required for each item may be calculated (S702), and the item having the longest expected time may be selected as the reference item according to the embodiment of the present invention.

In addition, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the scanning result is checked and an item having the maximum number of files to be processed is selected (S703), and the selected item is selected as a reference item (S705).

If the number of items to be processed is the same as the number of files to be processed as shown in Table 2 (S704), the largest item of the file to be processed among the selected items is referred to as a reference item (S706).

The method according to an embodiment of the present invention can be implemented in the form of a program command which can be executed through various computer means and recorded in a computer-readable medium. The computer-readable medium may include program instructions, data files, data structures, and the like, alone or in combination. The program instructions recorded on the medium may be those specially designed and constructed for the present invention or may be available to those skilled in the art of computer software. Examples of computer-readable media include magnetic media such as hard disks, floppy disks and magnetic tape; optical media such as CD-ROMs and DVDs; magnetic media such as floppy disks; Magneto-optical media, and hardware devices specifically configured to store and execute program instructions such as ROM, RAM, flash memory, and the like. Examples of program instructions include machine language code such as those produced by a compiler, as well as high-level language code that can be executed by a computer using an interpreter or the like. The hardware devices described above may be configured to operate as one or more software modules to perform the operations of the present invention, and vice versa.

Example

Optimization items Number of processed files Processing file capacity Estimated time Delete unnecessary system files 1,200 300MB 5 seconds Delete Internet Temporary Files 5,000 120MB 9 seconds Unnecessary memory return - 1.5G 0.5 second Edit shortcut 30 2MB 1 second Delete Unnecessary Registry 1,500 220kb 1 second

If the scanning result for the optimization item, the number of processing files for each item, and the capacity are the same as in <Table 1>, the item 'Deletion of internet temporary files', which has the largest number of files to be processed, And the overall system optimization processing status is displayed based on this.

Optimization items Number of processed files Processing file capacity Estimated time Delete unnecessary system files 1,200 300 MB 5 seconds Delete Internet Temporary Files 1,200 80MB 3 seconds Unnecessary memory return - 1.5G 0.5 second Edit shortcut 30 2MB 1 second Delete Unnecessary Registry 7,500 820kb 2 seconds

On the other hand, when the scanning result for the optimization item is as shown in Table 2, the 'Delete unnecessary system files' item and the 'Deletion of internet temporary files' The item that takes the longest time is selected first. At this time, since there are a plurality of items having the largest number of files to be processed, the item 'Delete unnecessary system files' having a larger capacity of files to be processed is finally selected as a reference item.
