An embodiment of the invention discloses a system resource occupation rate displaying method. The method comprises steps as follows: in an operating process of electronic equipment, detecting the system resource occupation rate of the electronic equipment; according to a preset algorithm, converting the system resource occupation rate into a feature value for representing a water wave graph feature; according to the converted feature value for representing the water wave graph feature, generating a water wave graph with the water wave graph feature represented by the feature value; displaying the water wave graph representing the system resource occupation rate to a user. Compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages that the user can master the system resource occupation condition according to change of the water wave graph feature, the technical scheme for converting the system resource occupation rate into the graph is vivid, and the user experience is good.
