Three points $O(0,0)$,$P(a, a^2)$,and $Q(-b, b^2)$ with $a > 0$ and $b > 0$ lie on the parabola $y = x^2$. Let $S_1$ be the area of the region bounded by the line $PQ$ and the parabola,and $S_2$ be the area of the triangle $OPQ$. If the minimum value of $\frac{S_1}{S_2}$ is $\frac{m}{n}$,where $\operatorname{gcd}(m, n) = 1$,then $m + n$ is equal to:
