Method and device for starting an application

Abstract

The invention discloses an application starting method and apparatus. The method comprises the steps of obtaining an identifier of a target application when the target application is monitored to be started; determining whether the identifier of the target application is stored in a preset list or not, wherein the preset list stores identifiers of applications and corresponding accelerated starting durations; if yes, controlling a CPU to run in the accelerated starting duration corresponding to the target application by a first frequency; and if not, calculating a starting duration of the target application for determining the accelerated starting duration corresponding to the target application, and storing the identifier of the target application and the corresponding accelerated starting duration in the preset list. By adopting the method and the apparatus, the accelerated running time of the CPU can be kept consistent with the application starting time, so that on one hand, the battery power consumption caused by unnecessary acceleration of the CPU is avoided, and on the other hand, the application is ensured to be started as quickly as possible.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to an application starting method and device. Background technique [0002] The central processing unit (CPU, Central Processing Unit) is a computing core and control core of a computer. The higher the operating frequency, the faster the data processing speed, but it also speeds up the battery consumption. For mobile terminal devices, such as mobile phones, in order to ensure the battery life, the CPU processing speed generally adopts a lower frequency to ensure the normal operation of the system, but some application scenarios require higher CPU processing speed, such as when the application starts. [0003] In order to improve user experience, many terminal manufacturers use higher CPU processing speeds to achieve fast startup of application programs when they are started. The current solution is to use a fixed duration of CPU acceleration when the application sta...

Problems solved by technology

However, different applications have different start-up times. Using a fixed-time acceleration method will cause waste of CPU acceleration when the application start-up time is shorter than the fixed time, thereby increasing unnecessary battery power consumption; or when the application startup time is longer than the fixed time. For a long time, the application cannot be accelerated optimally, which affects the user experience
