Abstract

PURPOSE: A real time memory checking method is provided to increase system performance by removing unnecessary files from a memory. CONSTITUTION: A user sets up a wanted time for checking a memory in a pull-down menu. In the time for checking the memory, whether a clip board was previously checked is confirmed(S2). When the clip board was checked in advance, whether contents of the clip board have been changed is judged(S4). When the contents of the clip board have been changed, the routine goes back to the first step. When the contents of the clip board have not been changed, a clip board delete select message is transmitted to the user(S6). When the user intends to delete the contents of the clip board, the clip board is erased(S7). When the user does not want to delete the contents of the clip board, a re-display select message for the clip board delete select message is transmitted to the user(S8). In the case that the user does not want to see the clip board delete select message any more, the time for checking the memory is erased and the system is reset. When the user wants to display the clip board delete select message, the system is directly reset.

Description

METHOD FOR CHECKING MEMORY AT A REAL TIME}

The present invention relates to a real-time memory check method, and to a real-time memory check method to check the files occupying the unnecessary memory every predetermined time to delete automatically or manually to use the system memory.

In general, Windows, which is used as an operating system of a computer, allocates a part of system memory in order to temporarily store a user's work, which is called a clipboard (a virtual memory space allocated by a Windows program). For example, the Clipboard keeps a copy of the latest information that has been copied or stolen, as a special storage resource managed by an operating system such as the Apple Macintosh operating system, Microsoft Windows, OS / 2, or Presentation Manager. When the memory as a workspace is used once and filled with contents that are not used again, the work space is eventually reduced and the processing speed of the task is significantly reduced. In addition, there is a problem that the progress of the operation is inconvenient because often see a message that the memory capacity is insufficient during the operation.

1 is a view showing an example of a position of a clipboard in a conventional general memory, and as shown therein, a clipboard is stored with a pointer such as 0X00CD in a memory having a pointer from 0X0000 to 0X00FF. The clipboard that is subsequently copied is then indexed and filled at different locations in memory, ie in the middle of the memory. As a result, when a number of functions are performed through the clipboard within a limited amount of memory, the capacity of the memory may be insufficient, thereby causing a problem such as a decrease in processing speed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the conventional problems as described above, and by removing contents from the memory that are unnecessarily occupied by the clipboard and other programs themselves at predetermined time intervals in the memory of a limited capacity. This is to improve the processing speed even when several functions are performed in the system.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above object, in the real-time memory check method, in the method for checking the memory in real time,

(a) Set the time for the user to check the memory,

(b) storing the memory check time of the user and then checking the data in the memory at the check time, comparing the contents of the memory with the contents of the check state before the set time,

(c) If the comparison result is the same, the data in the memory is deleted, and then all conditions are initialized.

In addition, in the present invention, (b) when the comparison result is the same, the user is asked to delete the memory, characterized in that the data in the memory can be deleted.

In addition, in the present invention, the data in the memory can be deleted if the comparison result is the same in (b).

Further, in the present invention, after step (a), it is determined whether the memory contents have been checked before, and if not, it is determined whether there is contents in the memory, and if there are contents, the current check time and the pointer are stored in the memory. Characterized in that.

8: memory

Hereinafter, the real-time memory check method according to the present invention will be described in detail.

FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of a real-time memory check apparatus according to the present invention. The apparatus includes a user setting unit 2 capable of setting a memory check time, whether to delete clipboard contents, displaying a message, and the like. A memory 8 having a control unit 4 for controlling the entire apparatus, a clipboard 7 storing user's work contents under the control of the control unit 4, and a clipboard 7 at every set time of the user. And a comparator 6 for comparing the contents of and outputting a signal accordingly.

In the case of data deletion, there is a function called OnTimer inside the program, which works for a certain time (for example, 1 second or 1 minute). to be. This function checks the clipboard used in Windows and deletes the file or its contents from memory if it does not change within the preset time. You can, of course, send a warning message (the message can be removed by user definition). And on its own it uses something like the clipboard, which also uses the same method.

3 is an operation flowchart of a real-time memory check method according to the present invention. As shown in the drawing, when a user sets an arbitrary time for checking a memory in a pull-down menu, the clipboard is previously displayed, that is, first. If it is checked (S2), and if checked, it is determined whether the contents of the clipboard has changed (S4). If the contents of the clipboard have been changed in step S4, the initialization proceeds to the first step. If the contents of the clipboard have not been changed, a message is displayed to the user, and if the contents of the clipboard have not changed, the user judges this. If you want to erase the contents of the clipboard after deleting the clipboard (S7) and initialized. If the contents of the clipboard are not deleted, the message is displayed again, and is determined (S8). If the message is not displayed in step S8, the current memory check time is erased and initialized. If the message is displayed again later, the initialization proceeds as it is.

On the other hand, if the clipboard has not been checked before in step S2, it is determined whether there is content in the clipboard (S10), and if there is content, the current contents, that is, the check time and the memory pointer are stored (S12), If there is no content, the initialization proceeds as it is.

On the other hand, step S8 of whether the user deletes the contents of the clipboard in step S6 and whether to display the message in step S6 again is set to user definition, so that the memory contents are automatically deleted in the same case. An automatic deletion process may be performed.

According to the real-time memory check method according to the present invention as described above, there is an effect that can be made smooth to use the system by removing files occupying the memory during the operation unnecessarily from the memory.

In addition, preferred embodiments of the present invention are disclosed for the purpose of illustration, those skilled in the art will be able to make various modifications, changes, additions, etc. within the spirit and scope of the present invention, such modifications and modifications belong to the scope of the claims You should see.
