Taking an example of the application running on a mobile terminal, fig. 1 is a hardware structure block diagram of the mobile terminal of an application freezing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the mobile terminal 10 may include one or more (only one shown in fig. 1) processors 102 (the processor 102 may include, but is not limited to, a processing device such as a microprocessor MCU or a programmable logic device FPGA) and a memory 104 for storing data, and optionally may also include a transmission device 106 for communication functions and an input-output device 108. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the structure shown in fig. 1 is only an illustration, and does not limit the structure of the mobile terminal. For example, the mobile terminal 10 may also include more or fewer components than shown in FIG. 1, or have a different configuration than shown in FIG. 1.

The memory 104 may be used for storing computer programs, for example, software programs and modules of application software, such as computer programs corresponding to the freezing method of the application in the embodiment of the present invention, and the processor 102 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the computer programs stored in the memory 104, so as to implement the above-mentioned method. The memory 104 may include high speed random access memory, and may also include non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic storage devices, flash memory, or other non-volatile solid-state memory.

In one example, the transmission device 106 may be a Radio Frequency (RF) module, which is used for communicating with the internet in a wireless manner.

In this embodiment, a freezing method of an application running in the mobile terminal or the network architecture is provided, and fig. 2 is a flowchart of a freezing method of an application according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the flowchart includes the following steps:

step S202, monitoring the power consumption behavior of the application running in the background, and freezing the application meeting the abnormal power consumption behavior.

Specifically, fig. 3 is a flowchart of an application freeze management method according to another embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 3, the freeze management method includes the following steps:

step S302: the terminal detects the power consumption of the application in the running state and determines whether the application with abnormal power consumption exists or not;

step S304: and judging whether the application with abnormal power consumption meets a preset freezing condition or not according to the detection result of the abnormal power consumption. Specifically, the application is that the terminal is switched from the foreground running state to the background running state when receiving another application opened by a user or receiving a switching control instruction.

If the preset freezing condition is met, the next step S306 is carried out; if not, continuing to keep the application running in the background, and meanwhile continuing to perform power consumption detection according to the step S302;

step S306: and when a preset freezing condition is met, freezing the application which consumes abnormal power and runs in the background. The freezing is to limit or prohibit the occupation of system resources by the application, including but not limited to CPU resources, and Sensor, GPS positioning, or memory and other external resources. In a specific application embodiment for the peripheral resource, a service request (Business request) of the application is to be limited or prohibited, for example, a service request such as applying or releasing Alarm clock, wakelock, GPS positioning, and the like is requested.

Step S308: activity events on the terminal for the frozen application are monitored. Specifically, the activity event includes a control instruction of the terminal for the frozen application or a message receiving module of the frozen application. For example, the control instruction for the frozen application may include the user re-opening the frozen application to the foreground by operation.

Step S310: and judging whether the frozen application meets a preset thawing condition or not according to the activity event, and when the preset thawing condition is met, performing S3012 to thaw the application. If the preset unfreezing condition is not met, the freezing state of the application is continuously kept, and the monitoring of the step S308 is continuously carried out;

step S312: the frozen application is thawed. And unfreezing, namely recovering the occupation of the system resources by the application, wherein the occupation comprises but is not limited to CPU resources, Sensor, GPS positioning or memory and other external resources. In a specific application embodiment, the Business request of the application is recovered, for example, the Business request of the Alarm clock Alarm, wakelock, GPS positioning, and the like is applied or released.

Finally, the abnormal power consumption detection of step S302 is continuously performed for the thawing application.

For a thawed application, if the application meets the abnormal power consumption behavior while running in the background, the thawed application will be frozen again. Meanwhile, for the application, the terminal records the freezing condition of each application, including but not limited to: number of freezes, cause of freeze, time of freeze, etc. Meanwhile, if the application re-entering the frozen state satisfies the thawing condition, it is thawed again.

Specifically, the abnormal power consumption behavior includes at least one of: the continuous occupation time of the application to the CPU exceeds a threshold value, the lock holding time of the application exceeds the threshold value, the memory occupation amount of the application to the CPU exceeds the threshold value, the continuous application positioning time of the application exceeds the threshold value, and the use time of the application to the sensor exceeds the threshold value.

For example, regarding the duration of the CPU occupied by the application, assuming that the CPU is occupied by the application for 2min continuously to reach more than 10 percent, or the CPU occupied by the application for 10min exceeds half of the time, and the like, it is considered that the duration of the CPU occupied by the application exceeds a threshold, and the abnormal power consumption behavior is satisfied.

As another example, for the lock holding time of an application, the time of the kernel lock or the frame lock of the application is mainly judged. If the time for holding the kernel lock continuously exceeds 10min or the accumulated lock holding time exceeds 10min within 20min, the lock holding time of the application is considered to exceed the threshold value, and the abnormal power consumption behavior is met.

For another example, regarding the memory occupation amount of the application, it is mainly determined whether there is an increase in the memory in the background process, and the determination may also be performed based on the absolute memory occupation amount and the first few applications relatively occupied. And assuming that the memory occupation amount of the application is increased from 5% to 25%, or the applications which are stable in the first three within 10min exist in the occupation area, and the like, the memory occupation amount of the application is considered to exceed the threshold value, and the abnormal power consumption behavior is met.

For another example, for an application to continuously apply for positioning time, it needs to be determined whether the application is a navigation-type application. If the navigation application is not the navigation application, but the continuous application positioning information exceeds the threshold, if the continuous application positioning information exceeds 2min, the continuous application positioning time exceeds the threshold, and the abnormal power consumption behavior is met.

Finally, for the application to the sensor service time, the continuous application of various sensors without release is mainly carried out. If the sensor is close and does not release after the Hall sensor exceeds 5min, the service time of the sensor exceeds a threshold value, and abnormal power consumption behaviors are met.

It should be noted that the time and parameters mentioned in the above examples are listed, but not exhaustive. Any time based on the idea of the present embodiment, the parameters are only within the protection scope of the present embodiment. The user can adjust the time and the parameters in real time according to the hardware and software states of the actual terminal, and redundant description is not repeated herein.

Optionally, judging whether the freezing times of the application are greater than preset freezing times; and if the judgment result is yes, putting the application into a frozen blacklist.

For example, if an application freezes up to 3 times, the application is placed on the freeze blacklist.

Specifically, considering that the application in the frozen blacklist has the repetition of the abnormal power consumption behavior, the application in the frozen blacklist directly enters the frozen state without being determined. Meanwhile, on one hand, in order to prevent the power consumption problem of the application with the repeated abnormal power consumption behavior without delaying the use of the application, the application can be unfrozen only when the application in the frozen blacklist is switched to the foreground. And if other thawing conditions, for example, the freezing time of the application exceeds a threshold, the WIFI connection of the terminal where the application is located is successful, and the like, the application cannot be thawed.

It should be noted that although the application in the frozen blacklist can be removed from the frozen blacklist for switching to the foreground, there is still a potential for repeatedly entering the frozen state if the application is subsequently switched to the background running. Thus, for applications that switch to the background that were once on the frozen blacklist, then they can be set in the potential frozen blacklist. Once the application again enters the frozen state, the application is placed on the frozen blacklist.

Specifically, by adjusting the expansion of the threshold value in the abnormal power consumption behavior and tightening the thawing condition, the application entering the frozen blacklist can be effectively controlled, and the power consumption problem of the application having the abnormal power consumption behavior repeatedly can be prevented.

In addition, in this embodiment, a frozen white list can also be set. For applications that are not frozen for the first time or within a period of time, the threshold reduction in abnormal power consumption behavior may be adjusted if the frozen state is entered, while relaxing the thawing conditions. In this way, the freezing and thawing of applications can be managed more intelligently, and thus the power of the terminal can be wasted less.

Specifically, other resources are released, including an alarm, binder call, location request, broadcast listen, and so on. For example: if it has an application for alarm, it will put a temporary list for alarm or discard the alarm request. If it communicates through the Binder for IPC process while frozen, wait for the Binder call to complete.

Through the above-mentioned releasing of other resources except the CPU resource occupied by the application first and then releasing the CPU resource occupied by the application, one or more managed applications can be dynamically frozen or thawed, so as to achieve the effects of effectively saving power consumption and prolonging battery life

Specifically, CPU resources are released, and a process that needs to be frozen, including all sub-threads of the process, is executed. Write freeze flag is written in Cgroup. After the process enters the FROZEN state, the task is FROZEN. Does not participate in CPU scheduling.

In addition, the processing of the judgment of the application which repeatedly consumes high power may adjust the number of times of continuous monitoring, the number of times of monitoring in a period of time, and the like.

Specifically, after monitoring the power consumption behavior of the application running in the background, the system finds that the power consumption behavior of the application exists at the edge of the abnormal power consumption behavior for many times. For example, the application's continuous occupancy time of the CPU is close to the application's continuous occupancy time threshold for the CPU. For another example, the application of the continuous application positioning time is imminent by applying a threshold value of the continuous application positioning time. Although the application does not enter the frozen state, the power consumption is also very large due to the presence of edges at abnormal power consumption behavior many times. Thus, if the number of times an application reaches the edge of the abnormal power consumption behavior within a time period satisfies a certain threshold, the application will also be frozen. For example, assume that the abnormal power consumption behavior corresponds to an application-to-memory footprint threshold of 20%. If one application has 5 times of memory occupation of the application within 20min, freezing the application.

Through the steps, the problems that the freezing strategy is very complex and normal use and application of a user are interfered in the related technology are solved, resources such as electric quantity can be saved, the use of the user is not influenced, and the user experience is improved.
