It should be noted that the mobile terminal mentioned in the embodiment of the present invention can be understood as a data processing terminal having an application, including a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, etc., and the following is a detailed description of the technical solution of the present invention by using a mobile phone as an example. . It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for shutting down a background application of a mobile terminal. Referring to FIG. 1 , in an embodiment of the present invention, the method for closing a background application of a mobile terminal includes at least the following steps:

In step S10, the detection time period of the background application is preset in the mobile terminal. In the embodiment of the present invention, the background application refers to an application that enters the background running of the mobile phone. The user operation interface can be provided in the mobile phone for the user to set the detection time period in the mobile phone. The detection time period is flexible, and can be 1 second, 1 hour, 10 hours, etc., can be started in real time or can be started after a long time.

Step S20: Acquire an actual running time of the background application of the mobile terminal at the end of the detecting time period; after the user sets the detecting time period, the mobile terminal starts timing, and when a detecting time period ends (ie, one detecting time period is completed), Obtain the actual running time of the background application of the mobile terminal, and the actual running time of the background application=current time-starting running time (that is, the time when the application enters the background running).

In step S30, when the running time of the background application is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the background application is closed. If the actual running time of the background application is greater than or equal to the preset threshold (the time threshold may be half an hour or one hour, and the user interface may be provided by the mobile phone manufacturer or the software provider to the user), the background application is considered as the user. The background application is not used, the background application is closed, and the corresponding system resources are released; otherwise, the background application continues to be running.

The invention automatically presets the detection time period of the background application in the mobile phone by the user, and obtains the actual running time of the background application of the mobile phone when the detection time period ends. When the running time of the background application is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the method is closed. The background application can specifically shut down some background applications that the user does not use, and can release resources in time, thereby improving system resource utilization, reducing the power consumption of the mobile phone, and participating in setting time, the detection time is more flexible, and the user is improved. Experience.

In step S201, the background application of the mobile terminal is monitored, and the information of the background application is collected and added to the application statistics list of the mobile terminal. The information of the background application includes: the name and identifier of the background application, and the time when the application enters the background operation; In the above steps, after the detection time period is set, the system starts to collect statistics on the background application of the current time, and adds the information to the preset statistics list. The statistics list records the names and identifiers of all background applications and the background application enters the background. Time (also called start time).

Step S202: Monitor the application statistics list in real time and update the application statistics list according to user operations. For example, when some new applications enter the background, the information of the application is added in the application statistics list; when a background application is closed, the information of the background application is deleted in the application statistics list; when a background application is used by the user If enabled, the background application information and so on should also be cleared in the application statistics list.

Referring to FIG. 4, in the embodiment of the present invention, the foregoing step S20 includes:

Step S21: At the end of the detection time period, acquire the current time;

In step S22, the operation is performed according to the time when the application enters the background running and the current time, and the actual running time of the background application is obtained. At the end of the detection time period, obtain the current time of the mobile terminal, and calculate the actual running time of each background application in the statistics list (actual running time = current time - Start running time). The actual running time is the unused time of the background application user. If the actual running time >= set threshold, it is considered as a background application that the user does not use, close the background application, and release the corresponding system resources. Otherwise the background application continues to be running. After the corresponding background application is closed, the statistics list is updated, and the closed background application is deleted from the statistics list. The start time of the background application that is not closed remains unchanged, and the information of the background application in the statistics list is continuously updated for the next detection time. cycle.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the foregoing step S202 further includes:

The current application name and the identifier are compared with those in the application statistics list. If the current application information is consistent with a background application information in the application statistics list, the information corresponding to the background application in the application statistics list is cleared. Considering that the user may be using the mobile phone constantly, some background applications may be started by the user constantly. If the name of the current application, the identifier, and the information of a background application in the statistical table are consistent, the application is to be taken from the statistical list.
