Abstract

A method is provided for memory releasing. The method includes obtaining a first memory space value of a terminal system, where the first memory space represents a size of current idle memory space on the terminal system. The method also includes requesting a memory space whose size equals to a second memory space value from the terminal system, where the second memory space value is greater than the first memory space value. Further, the method includes releasing occupied memory after the terminal system receives a memory space request and detects that the second memory space value is greater than the first memory space value. The method includes confirming allocation of the memory space whose size equals to the second memory space value. The method includes releasing the memory space whose size equals to the second memory space value as the idle memory space after receiving allocation confirmation of the memory space of the terminal system.
