detailed description

In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below through specific implementations in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention.

Example one:

This embodiment provides an application control method, which can accurately monitor whether the power consumption of each application currently running on the terminal is abnormal, and control the energy saving of the monitored applications with abnormal power consumption, and further It can improve the endurance and resource utilization of the terminal without affecting the user's normal use of the terminal, and improve the satisfaction of the user experience.

An application control method provided in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, includes:

S101: Monitor each application currently running on the terminal;

S102: When a candidate application that satisfies a preset first power consumption condition is monitored, determine the candidate application according to a preset identification rule to determine whether the candidate application is an application to be managed;

S103: When determining that the candidate application is an application to be managed, perform energy saving control on the application to be managed.

It should be understood that the terminal in this embodiment may be various smart terminals that support application operation, such as but not limited to smart phones, notebook computers, digital broadcast receivers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and tablet computers (PADs) , Portable multimedia players (PMP), mobile devices such as navigation devices, and fixed terminals such as digital TVs, desktop computers, and so on. In addition, the system running on the terminal in this embodiment may include, but not limited to, Android, iOS, windows, Symbian, BlackBerry OS, windows mobile, and Microsoft Windows series systems applied to PCs, and Apple ’s MAC series systems. Including linux system, etc.

In this embodiment, each application currently running on the terminal includes various applications that are started on the terminal and run in the background, and may also include various applications that run in the foreground, or include applications that run in both the background and the foreground according to requirements. . When including various applications running in the foreground and background, all applications currently running on the terminal can be comprehensively monitored to avoid monitoring only for applications running in the background, which can cause timely, abnormal, Accurate discovery. Especially for malicious applications, the related process is maintained in the terminal foreground of the terminal, so that it can escape from the abnormal monitoring range, resulting in the abnormal application monitoring on the terminal, but the abnormal application situation cannot be detected. Therefore, in a In the example, when monitoring whether the various applications in the foreground and background on the terminal meet the first power consumption condition at the same time, it is possible to monitor all the applications currently running on the terminal to avoid abnormal applications running in the foreground because the related technology does not Incorporating monitoring into the scope and resulting in missing monitoring can further improve user experience satisfaction.

In another example of this embodiment, it is also possible to monitor only the applications currently running in the background on the acquisition terminal. Because in some application scenarios, such as various smart phones, IPAD and other terminals, the application running in the foreground generally has only one or two applications, and the application running in the foreground is generally the application currently being used by the user. Therefore, for these application scenarios, it is possible to monitor only the applications currently running in the background on the terminal. In a feasible manner of this embodiment, the preset first power consumption condition may be directly set to include that the application is currently running in the background (that is, the terminal will still monitor all applications in the foreground and background at this time, but The foreground application must not satisfy the preset first power consumption condition); in another feasible manner of this embodiment, the monitoring conditions can also be directly set so that the terminal will only monitor the background application, while the foreground application monitoring Skip directly.

In a feasible implementation manner of this embodiment, the first power consumption condition may include: the application is currently running in the background, and has a preset high power consumption behavior. Of course, as shown in the above analysis, in some application scenarios, the first power consumption condition may only include: the application has a preset high power consumption behavior, and does not limit whether the application runs in the foreground or background.

It should be understood that, in this embodiment, it can be determined from various aspects which of the applications running on the terminal have high power consumption behaviors, such as but not limited to slave processor occupancy, memory occupancy, and wake lock At least aspects of the occupancy status of the application, the occupancy status of the positioning resource, and the occupancy status of the sensor determine whether the application is currently an application with high power consumption to determine whether it needs to be included in the candidate application set.

For example, in one example, the preset high power consumption behavior may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

The processor occupancy state conforms to the preset first state; in this embodiment, the processor may include at least one of a central processing unit and a graphics processor (Graphics, Processing, Unit, GPU); the processor occupancy state in this embodiment It can be the processor occupancy time, it can also be the processor resource occupancy, or it can also include the processor occupancy time (which can be a continuous time, it can also be the total duration of the processor occupied in a cycle), or the processor resources Occupancy value; correspondingly, the first state may include a preset threshold of processor occupation time, and / or a threshold of processor resource occupation; for example, in one example, the processor occupation state includes processor occupation time, then process If the processor occupancy time is greater than or equal to the processor occupancy time threshold, the processor occupancy state is considered to be in accordance with the preset first state; correspondingly, in other examples, the processor occupancy state includes the processor resource occupancy value (which may be the resource occupancy) When the proportional or absolute value, etc.), the processor resource occupancy value is greater than or equal to the processor resource occupancy threshold, it is recognized Processor occupancy status conforms to a predetermined first state;

The memory occupancy state conforms to the preset second state; in this embodiment, the memory occupancy state may be the change trend of the memory resource occupied by the application, and the second state at this time may be an increase or a gradual increase in resource occupancy; etc. The state can also be the amount of memory occupied by the application (which can be the proportion of occupied resources (the proportion can be the current ranking of the proportion of resources occupied by each application) or absolute value, etc.), and the second state at this time can include memory resources Occupation threshold, when the memory occupancy value is greater than or equal to the memory resource occupancy threshold, the memory occupancy state of the application may be considered to conform to the preset second state;

The occupancy state of the wake lock conforms to the preset third state; in this embodiment, the occupancy state of the wake lock may be the occupancy time of the awaken lock (may be a continuous duration, or may be the total duration of the processor occupied in a cycle) Correspondingly, the third state may include a preset wake lock occupation time threshold, for example, in an example, the wake lock occupation state includes the wake lock occupation time, then the wake lock occupation time is greater than or equal to the wake lock occupation time threshold, It is considered that the wake lock occupation state conforms to the preset third state;

The occupancy state of the positioning resources conforms to the preset fourth state; the positioning resources in this embodiment include various resources for implementing terminal positioning, such as, but not limited to, a global positioning system (Global Positioning System, GPS is English); this embodiment The location resource occupancy status in can be the location resource occupancy duration (which can be a continuous duration, or the total duration of the processor occupied in a cycle), or it can be the frequency of location resource occupancy application; correspondingly, the fourth status can include The preset positioning resource occupation time threshold and / or positioning resource occupation application frequency threshold; for example, in one example, the positioning resource occupation state includes the positioning resource occupation time, when the positioning resource occupation time is greater than or equal to the positioning resource occupation time threshold , It is considered that the location resource occupancy state conforms to the preset fourth state; for example, in other examples, when the location resource occupancy state includes the location resource occupancy application frequency, the location resource occupancy application frequency value is greater than or equal to the location resource occupancy application frequency threshold , It is considered that the location resource occupancy status meets The fourth state is provided;

The sensor resource occupation state conforms to the preset fifth state. The sensor in this embodiment may be any sensor other than the GPS sensor for positioning on the terminal, such as a proximity sensor, a gravity sensor, an image acquisition sensor, etc .; in this embodiment The sensor resource occupancy status can be the sensor resource occupancy duration (which can be a continuous duration or the total duration of the processor occupied in a cycle), or it can apply for the sensor resource occupancy frequency; correspondingly, the fifth status can include The set threshold of sensor resource occupation duration and / or the threshold of sensor resource occupation application frequency; for example, in an example, the sensor resource occupation status includes the sensor resource occupation duration, then the sensor resource occupation duration is greater than or equal to the sensor resource occupation duration threshold, It is considered that the sensor resource occupation state conforms to the preset fourth state; for another example, in other examples, when the sensor resource occupation state includes the sensor resource occupation application frequency, the sensor resource occupation application frequency value is greater than or equal to the sensor resource occupation application frequency When the threshold is reached, it is considered that the location resource occupation state conforms to the preset fifth state.

As shown in the above analysis, the preset high power consumption behavior in this embodiment may include any one of the behaviors of the above examples, or may include two or more of the above behaviors; when the two behaviors of the above examples are included In the above case, an application can be determined as a candidate application as long as it satisfies any of the above behaviors. Of course, in some application examples, an application may also be set according to a specific application scenario to satisfy more than two of the above-mentioned behaviors at the same time to confirm that it is a candidate application. And it should be understood that the preset high power consumption behavior in this embodiment is not limited to the above-mentioned exemplary behaviors, and can be flexibly set and updated according to requirements. And in some examples, users and / or manufacturers can support customization and update.

In this embodiment, the preset identification rule is used to further determine whether the candidate application is an application that needs to be managed with abnormal power consumption. Therefore, the preset recognition rule may be any recognition rule that can achieve the above effect.

In a feasible implementation manner of this embodiment, determining the candidate application according to the preset recognition rule may include: determining an application screening condition corresponding to the application type according to the application type corresponding to the candidate application; and further consuming the candidate application The electrical behavior is compared with the determined application screening conditions, and the candidate application is determined according to the comparison result. For example, in an application example of this embodiment, the application types may include but are not limited to at least one of normal positioning applications, normal multimedia applications, normal game applications, and normal download applications; accordingly, this implementation The preset identification rules in the example may include but are not limited to at least one of the following rules:

Rule 1: When the application type of the candidate application is a normal positioning application, and when the candidate application has positioning information interaction, and the interactive positioning information meets the preset positioning information filtering conditions, it is determined that the candidate application belongs to the normal positioning application; otherwise, It can be determined that the candidate application is an application to be managed.

The positioning information in this embodiment may include messages generated during various positioning processes, and may also select information generated during specific positioning processes according to requirements, such as, but not limited to, positioning data used to determine the location, and may also include broadcast Or reminder voice information, etc .; in an example, when the application type of the candidate application is a normal positioning application, the preset positioning information filtering condition may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

The positions corresponding to the interactive positioning data within the preset time period are not the same position. The time period can be flexibly set according to specific application requirements, for example, set to 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc. In this embodiment, when determining whether the location corresponding to the positioning data is the same location, the location corresponding to the positioning data at different times can be performed For comparison, when the distance difference is less than or equal to the set distance difference threshold, it can be determined that it is the same position, of course, it can also be determined in any other way;

Voice data is not included in the interactive positioning information. In an example of the embodiment, when it is determined that the interaction information includes voice data, the candidate application may be determined as a multimedia application; it may not be determined as a positioning application; of course, in some other application scenarios It can also be further determined whether it is a positioning type or a multimedia type according to the voice data content (for example, related voice content such as navigation broadcasts);

The interactive positioning information in this embodiment may be positioning information within a preset duration after the application is determined as a candidate application, or positioning information within a preset duration before the application is determined as a candidate application, or combined with the application before and as a candidate application. Positioning information within the total preset duration after candidate application.

Rule 2: When the application type of the candidate application is a normal multimedia application, and when there is multimedia information interaction with the candidate application, and the interacted multimedia information meets the preset multimedia information screening conditions, it is determined that the candidate application belongs to the normal multimedia application; otherwise To determine that the candidate application is an application to be managed.

The preset multimedia information filtering conditions in this embodiment are mainly used to determine whether the multimedia application is in a normal use state; specific judgment rules can be flexibly set. For example, suppose that the candidate application is a video-type multimedia application, and it is detected that it is playing video, but it is in the background running state, it can be considered that it is not normally used and belongs to a high-power-consuming application to be managed; for example, suppose that the current candidate application is Voice multimedia applications, but the interactive voice data is silent data, it can also be considered that it is not normally used, and belongs to the application of high power consumption to be managed;

Therefore, in an example of this embodiment, when the application type of the candidate application is a normal multimedia application, the preset multimedia information filtering condition may include but is not limited to at least one of the following:

When the interactive multimedia information includes video data, the video data does not include video playback data in the background running state;

When the interactive multimedia information includes voice data, the voice data does not include the voice data in the mute state.

The interactive multimedia information in this embodiment may be the interactive multimedia information within the preset time period after the application is determined as the candidate application, or the interactive multimedia information within the preset time period before the application is determined as the candidate application, or determined as a candidate in combination with the application Interactive multimedia information within the total preset duration before application and after being determined as a candidate application.

Rule 3: When the application type of the candidate application is a normal download application, and when the candidate application has a download data stream and the download data stream meets the preset download conditions, it is determined that the candidate application belongs to a normal multimedia application; otherwise, it can be determined The candidate application is an application to be managed.

For example, in some application scenarios, when the application type of the candidate application is a normal download application, the preset download conditions include:

The download rate of the download data stream is greater than or equal to the preset download rate value; the preset download rate value can be flexibly set, for example, it can be flexibly set according to the current network environment of the terminal or the real-time remaining resources of the terminal.

Rule 4: When the application type of the candidate application is a normal game application, and when there is an interaction control instruction in the candidate application, and the interaction control instruction meets the preset interaction instruction screening conditions, it is determined that the candidate application belongs to the normal game application; otherwise, it can be The candidate application is determined to be an application to be managed.

The preset interactive instruction filtering condition in this embodiment is used to determine whether the candidate application belongs to a normally used game application, so the preset interactive instruction filtering condition may be an interactive control instruction to determine whether the candidate application has various game categories, For example, direction control instructions, skill release control instructions, etc .; if it exists, it can be flexibly determined as a game application.

It should be understood that the above-mentioned four rules in this embodiment are only rules that are exemplified for ease of understanding, and the preset identification rules in this embodiment are not limited to the above-mentioned types of rules. Moreover, in this embodiment, the preset recognition rule may include any one of the above rules, or may include two or more of the above rules. When two or more of the above rules are included, the candidate application only needs to meet any one of the rules. It can be determined that it is a normally running application; when two or more of the above rules are included, the execution timing between each rule can be flexibly set, for example, it can be executed in parallel or sequentially in accordance with a preset order; and In some application scenarios, at least two of the above rules can also be used flexibly in combination, and after a candidate application can be set to satisfy any rule, the candidate application is no longer brought into other rules for judgment.

It should be noted that in this embodiment, considering that certain applications (such as applications commonly used by users or applications that implement certain special functions) are basically not applications that require energy-saving management, in order to improve the efficiency of application detection and Accuracy, you can set an application whitelist (also called special applications), add applications that do not require energy-saving management to the application whitelist, and optionally, the application whitelist can support user manual Update can also support the machine to automatically learn dynamic updates. In this way, in a feasible example of this embodiment, before performing step S101, that is, before monitoring each application currently running on the terminal, each application currently running on the terminal and the preset application can be white. The list is compared to determine which of the applications currently running on the terminal are not in the application whitelist, and then monitor the currently running applications that are not in the application whitelist.

It should also be noted that, in this embodiment, when determining the candidate application according to the preset identification rule, if it is determined that the candidate application is not an application to be managed, the candidate application may be added to the preset application In the white list, to avoid the need to continuously monitor each application currently running on the terminal in the later monitoring process, resulting in a waste of terminal resources.

It should be understood that in an actual application, there may be an application that is determined to be not an application to be managed when it was last monitored, but due to high power consumption behavior that satisfies the preset first power consumption condition at the next monitoring. , Resulting in a situation where it should be determined as an application to be managed. For example, application A met the preset first power consumption condition due to processor occupancy during the last monitoring, but due to the characteristics of its application type, the preset recognition rule determines that it is not an application to be managed; and during the next monitoring, Application A may be due to the fact that the memory occupancy condition satisfies the preset first power consumption condition. At this time, it should be determined that it is an application to be managed according to the preset identification rule. In this case, because it was added to the application whitelist in the previous monitoring process, it should be judged as an application to be managed but evaded monitoring directly in the next run. In order to avoid this situation, in this book, In a feasible implementation manner of the embodiment, after the candidate application is added to the preset application whitelist, the candidate application may be quit running (for example, when a user voluntarily quits the application so that the application is no longer being run, Or the terminal is powered off), the candidate application may be removed from the preset application whitelist.

It should be understood that, in the application whitelist in this embodiment, various application identification information that can uniquely identify an application can be stored in the application whitelist to reflect which applications are included in the list for subsequent comparison and screening, such as including but not including Limited to at least one of the application's package name, UID (unique identifier, such as a global 32-bit unique number), and so on.

In particular, it should be noted that, in this embodiment, the application to be managed is used for energy-saving control, and various methods for energy-saving control of the application may be adopted. For example, it includes but is not limited to freezing the application to be managed, or shutting down the process that consumes much power of the target application.

When freezing the application to be managed, take the Android smart platform as an example. The method of freezing can be to make the application unavailable through system interface functions such as "pm disable" and "am force-stop", or to force the application to close to "freeze" "Effect. Of course, this embodiment is not limited to these two exemplary freezing methods. And optionally, in some examples of this embodiment, corresponding thawing conditions may also be set for the frozen application, and when it is detected that the thawing conditions of a frozen application are satisfied, the application is defrosted.

It should be understood that in an actual application, after the application is frozen, what is actually frozen is the function of the application, and system services related to the application in the system are not actually frozen, for example, broadcast distribution of the application, Application service components, etc. These services may cause ANR (Application Not Responding) when the application is frozen. To avoid this situation, in a feasible implementation manner of this embodiment, system services related to the frozen application may be frozen. For example, the broadcast distribution of the frozen application may be discarded, and / or the service component that starts the frozen application may be stopped. It should also be understood that for the ANR that has been caused, the terminal will propose an ANR box to notify the user, and the pop-up of the ANR box will undoubtedly reduce the user experience. In order to avoid this situation, in this embodiment, the management application After freezing, if an ANR about the application to be managed is detected, the ANR box is automatically blocked so that it does not pop up, thereby avoiding impact on the user.

It should also be understood that in actual applications, calls between various processes of the system may involve calls involving applications that have been frozen. In this case, to ensure the effective operation of the system, system failures do not occur, and a feasible implementation The method is: when a system call operation for a frozen application is detected, the frozen application is unfrozen, and the system call operation is performed. Thereafter, after the execution of the call operation is completed, the application can be restarted. Freeze. However, it should be noted that in this embodiment, the frozen application will be unfrozen for all system call operations, which will result in increased system overhead, but in the actual application process, not all involve freezing. The system call operation of the application will cause a system failure. Therefore, in another feasible implementation manner of this embodiment, when a system call operation for a frozen application is detected, it can be determined whether the system call operation meets the pre- The set operation abandonment condition; if it is satisfied, the system call operation is abandoned; otherwise, the frozen application is defrosted and the system call operation is performed. Of course, after that, the application can be frozen again after the calling operation is completed. In this embodiment, the preset operation abandonment conditions should be designed in accordance with the following principles: try to allow the terminal to complete the system operation (such as the binder operation) as much as possible to avoid the application logic of the frozen application causing terminal operation. Coherence. For example, various known system call operations of each application that do not need to be thawed, not executed, or cause system failures can be summarized in a table. This table is the preset operation abandonment condition. If the system call operation for a frozen application is the system call operation corresponding to the application record in the table, the system call operation can be discarded.

It can be seen that, in this embodiment, the application with higher power consumption among the applications currently running on the terminal (foreground and / or background) can be determined in real time according to the type of application to which it belongs to whether it is currently a normally used application to determine Whether it is necessary to control energy saving and power consumption; it is not simply relying on the preset application list or terminal working mode to directly determine an application that is currently running outside the application list or the working mode as abnormal power consumption application. Because the application may indeed be an application with abnormal power consumption in some specific application scenarios, but in some application scenarios it is an application with normal power consumption, that is, an application that runs normally. In the related art, the application that belongs to the list is directly determined as an application with abnormal power consumption according to a preset application list or working mode, which has a large error, and it is easy to mistake a normal running application as an application with abnormal power consumption ; And its judgment depends to a large extent on the accurate settings of the application in the list, and users often cannot adjust the list accurately or in real time to keep the list accurate, which also leads to the application list based on the preset The obtained judgment result has a large error, which further reduces the user experience satisfaction.

The application control method provided in this embodiment dynamically determines real-time and dynamically determined applications to be managed that require energy-saving control according to the actual power consumption of the application currently running on the terminal and the application type corresponding to the application. The corresponding service provider settings or the corresponding application list of the service have better practicability and intelligence, higher accuracy, better versatility and intelligence, and can further improve user experience satisfaction.

Example 2:

On the basis of the first embodiment, this embodiment takes the control of saving energy as the way to freeze the application as an example to further explain the embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the present invention includes five logical layers, namely a detection layer, a decision layer, a freezing layer, a defrosting layer, and an exception handling layer. The exception handling layer is divided into framework exception handling layer and driving exception handling layer.

Among them, the detection layer is used to detect the state of the terminal turning on and off the screen, and the abnormal power consumption behavior of the system background. If the abnormal power consumption behavior is satisfied, the application information is reported to the decision module. At the same time, it also cooperates with the defrosting module to detect applications suitable for defrosting.

The decision layer is used to determine whether it is necessary to perform a freeze operation according to the specific type and status of the current application. If freezing is required, a freeze instruction is issued to the freeze execution layer. If freezing is not required, the abnormal monitoring strategy of the detection layer can be adjusted to let The detection layer no longer monitors the application.

The freezing layer is used to freeze the application to be frozen according to the application information to be frozen provided by the freezing decision layer.

The thawing layer is used for thawing applications that require thawing.

The framework exception handling layer is used to handle exceptions that may occur after the application is frozen, such as discarding the broadcast distribution of the frozen application to avoid ANR, stopping the service component that starts the frozen application to avoid ANR, and at the same time, ANR that has occurred for the frozen application Make circumvention to prevent the system from terminating frozen applications due to ANR. At the same time, it cooperates with the thaw module to restore and cancel some exception handling strategies, such as canceling the broadcast discarding of the frozen application, and restoring the broadcast distribution to the unfrozen application.

The driver exception handling layer is used when a binder (a means of communication between processes) calls a frozen application to take the action of giving up freezing or abandoning operations to ensure that the system is normal, and let it complete the binder operation normally as much as possible to avoid freezing Possible inconsistencies in the application logic of the application, more importantly, to avoid system failure caused by binder blocking.

Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a process for performing layered freezing of applications provided by this embodiment, including:

Step S301: When the application switches to the background, the detection layer monitors the activities of these applications in the background.

Step S302: When detecting that an application has abnormal power consumption behavior, report the abnormal power consumption behavior and the application type of the application to the decision layer;

The detection layer continuously monitors the application for abnormal power consumption in the background. If there is abnormal power consumption behavior, it will be reported to the decision-making layer. The next step is to comprehensively judge the conditions of the application and determine whether to report to the frozen layer.

There are several ways to monitor the abnormal power consumption behaviors: continuous high CPU occupation, long lock holding time, high memory occupation, abnormal continuous positioning, abnormal use of sensors, etc. Any kind of establishment is considered to be abnormal power consumption behavior.

Step S303: The decision layer comprehensively decides whether to freeze the application according to the reported abnormal power consumption behavior and application type.

The decision layer can adjust the abnormal monitoring strategy of the detection layer so that the detection layer no longer monitors the application.

Step S304: When the decision layer thinks that the application needs to be frozen, the freezing layer is notified to perform the freezing operation.

Step S305: After receiving the instruction from the decision layer, the freezing layer freezes the application.

After the application is frozen, the framework exception handling layer discards the broadcast distribution to the frozen application, stops the service component that starts the frozen application, and at the same time makes circumvention on the ANR that has occurred in the frozen application.

The framework exception handling layer is responsible for handling the exceptions that may occur after the application is frozen, such as discarding the broadcast distribution of the frozen application to avoid ANR, stopping the service components that start the frozen application to avoid ANR, and at the same time, making the ANR of the frozen application. Avoid processing and avoid the system from terminating frozen applications due to ANR.

In addition, after the application is frozen, if there is a binder call to freeze the application, the driver exception handling layer will take actions such as giving up freezing or abandoning operations to ensure that the system is normal.

In addition, when the detection layer detects that the thawing conditions are met, it will notify the thawing layer to defrost the application.

After the application is unfrozen, the framework exception handling layer cooperates with the unfreeze layer to cancel some exception handling strategies, such as canceling the broadcast discarding of the frozen application and restoring the broadcast distribution to the unfrozen application, and restoring the normal startup of service components.

It can be seen that the application control method provided in this embodiment can flexibly and accurately determine the applications that need to perform energy-saving control on the terminal with abnormal power consumption, and perform control processing on these applications through energy-saving processing methods such as freezing, etc. Freeze and unfreeze applications under conditions that affect users' real needs, saving system resources such as CPU, memory, and battery, improving terminal endurance performance and resource utilization, and improving user experience.

This embodiment provides an application control device, which can be installed in various terminals, as shown in FIG. 4, including: a monitoring module 41, a determination module 42, and a processing module 43; wherein:

The monitoring module 41 is used to monitor each application currently running on the terminal;

The determining module 42 is configured to determine the candidate application according to the preset identification rule when the monitoring module 41 detects the candidate application that satisfies the preset first power consumption condition, to determine whether the candidate application is an application to be managed; specifically determine the application For the process of satisfying the preset first power consumption condition and the process of determining the candidate application according to the preset identification rule, reference may be made to the relevant parts described in the foregoing embodiments, and details are not described herein again.

It should be noted that the preset first power consumption condition in this embodiment may include: the application is currently running in the background and has a preset high power consumption behavior.

The processing module 43 is used to control energy saving of the application to be managed when the determination module 42 determines that the candidate application is an application to be managed.

In this embodiment, to control the energy saving of the application to be managed, various methods of energy-saving control of the application may be adopted. Examples include, but are not limited to, freezing applications to be managed.

When the control for saving energy consumption includes freezing the application to be managed, the processing module 43 is further configured to: after freezing the application to be managed, freeze the system service related to the frozen application. For example, the broadcast distribution of the frozen application may be discarded, and / or the service component that starts the frozen application may be stopped. In addition, for the ANR that has been caused, the terminal will propose an ANR box to notify the user, and the pop-up of the ANR box will undoubtedly reduce the user experience. In order to avoid this situation, in this embodiment, the processing module 43 may freeze the application to be managed After that, if an ANR about the application to be managed is detected, the ANR box is automatically shielded so that it does not pop up, thereby avoiding impact on the user.

In addition, in actual applications, there may be calls between processes in the system that involve frozen applications. At this time, to ensure the effective operation of the system and avoid system failures, a feasible implementation method is: When a system call operation for a frozen application is detected, the processing module 43 unfreezes the frozen application and executes the system call operation. After that, the processing module 43 can re-apply the application after the execution of the call operation is completed Freeze. However, it should be noted that in this embodiment, the frozen application will be unfrozen for all system call operations, which will result in increased system overhead, but in the actual application process, not all involve freezing. The system call operation of the application will cause a system failure. Therefore, in another feasible implementation manner of this embodiment, when a system call operation for a frozen application is detected, the processing module 43 determines the system call operation Whether the preset operation abandonment condition is satisfied; if it is satisfied, the system call operation is abandoned; otherwise, the frozen application is defrosted and the system call operation is performed. Of course, afterwards, the processing module 43 may freeze the application again after the calling operation is completed. In this embodiment, the preset operation abandon condition should be designed in accordance with the following principle: try to allow the terminal to complete the system operation (such as binder operation) as much as possible to avoid the application logic of the frozen application causing terminal operation. Incoherence. For example, various known system call operations of each application that do not need to be thawed, not executed, or cause system failures can be summarized in a table. This table is the preset operation abandonment condition. If the system call operation for a frozen application is the system call operation corresponding to the application record in the table, the system call operation can be discarded.
