The time that the program does not receive the operation command issued by the user after it is turned on.

Step 104: Determine the relationship between t and T. If t < T, return to the previous step, that is, re-count the idle time t of each of the applications. t<T means that the user has used the application again for a set length of time, so the application is not closed.

Step 5: At a certain time when t is close to T, for example, t=T-t1, the user is prompted to close the prompt information of the application. T1 is a length of time set by the user according to his or her own situation. Before the application is closed, the user is prompted to close the application, preferably t1<t.

For example, if the set monitoring time T of an application is 10 minutes, and t1=1 minutes, the user will be prompted at t=9 minutes. The prompt information may be a light, a voice, an alarm sound or an information box. Of course, this step is not necessary.

Step 6106: If t=T, it means that the user has not operated or used the application for the entire monitoring time. Therefore, the application is closed at t=T, thereby achieving the purpose of power saving. The method of closing the application includes the user manually closing the application according to the prompt information or the mobile terminal automatically closing the application. It can be understood that the above steps are only for one application. If there are multiple applications, both T and t can be set or calculated separately.
