[0002] The functions of terminal applications are increasingly rich and powerful. The more applications installed, even if not used, the battery consumption can be felt to be fast, and the heating becomes obvious, which is mainly because a considerable part of the application, although not running in the foreground, but often "sneak" in the background running and occupying system resources.

[0003] The application freezing technology is mainly a method for limiting application occupation of system resources based on an intelligent terminal.

Some applications monitor the state changes of the system and apply for wake-up sensors, such as lifting gestures, movements, etc. If the applications applying for these sensors are frozen, the functions of the applications themselves will be affected. Conversely, if the applications applying for these sensors are not frozen, the freezing effect will be greatly reduced, affecting the original intention of energy saving, so how to effectively control the freezing of the applications applying for the sensors is very important.

[0025] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, further detailed description will be made to the embodiments of the present application by specific implementation manners combined with the drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.

[0026] Embodiment one:

[0027] The present embodiment provides an application management method, please refer to Figure 1 The method comprises:

[0028] S101, determining an application to be frozen on a terminal;

[0029] S102, detecting a sensor on the terminal applied by the application to be frozen;

[0030] S103, determining whether to freeze the application based on the application to be frozen and the sensor type applied by the application, and performing corresponding operations.

[0031] The freezing of the application on the terminal refers to the development based on the Linux Cgroup Freezer subsystem, which is used to start and stop the process to achieve the purpose of resource scheduling. The application after freezing no longer consumes resources, but the application itself is still alive, and the various business logic contacts with other modules of the system also exist. When the user wants to use the application again, the application only needs to be scheduled out of the background of the terminal. In this way, the application does not need to be opened and run again, saving the loading time of the application. During the running of the application, various sensors on the terminal will be applied to assist the use to achieve the corresponding functions, such as the gyroscope, acceleration sensor, etc. on the terminal when the navigation application is used. The sensor is a detection device that can sense the measured information and can convert the sensed information into an electrical signal or other required form of information output to the terminal interior, and then perform subsequent processing. When the application on the terminal is frozen, the sensors applied by these applications need to be considered, which may affect the use of the terminal.

[0032] All applications on the terminal are not suitable for freezing, such as the applications necessary for the terminal to run, such as telephone, short message, etc. Therefore, it is extremely important to determine under what circumstances the application can be frozen, that is, how to selectively freeze the application.

[0033] In some embodiments, before determining whether to freeze the application, the method can further comprise:

[0034] classifying the applications on the terminal, the classified categories including at least system critical applications. System critical applications are generally applications that are not suitable for being frozen, and such applications need to be kept running under normal circumstances to ensure that the terminal functions normally. For most terminals, system critical applications include applications that come with the terminal, such as phone, text message, date and time, etc. In addition, system critical applications can also include high-frequency applications on the terminal determined according to user usage habits, such as WeChat, which is mainly used for social networking. Although such applications are not provided by the terminal, their use frequency is too high, and once frozen, they can directly affect the normal life of the user, and therefore should be considered as system critical applications for the user. In addition, system critical applications can also be applications determined according to user input, i.e., applications specified by the user. The determination methods of these system critical applications are feasible in this embodiment.

[0035] In some embodiments, determining whether to freeze the application based on the application to be frozen and the sensor type applied by the application can comprise:

[0036] When the application is a system critical application, it is determined not to freeze the application. Since the application is a system critical application, in order not to affect the normal operation of the terminal, the system critical application is not frozen when the application is frozen. In other words, for phone, text message, WeChat, etc. on the terminal, they are not frozen, so that the phone can be normally dialed and answered, and text messages and WeChat can be normally sent and received. For terminals such as mobile phones, the basic function is still communication, and the normal operation of the basic function needs to be ensured.

[0037] In some embodiments, before determining whether to freeze the application, the method can further comprise:

[0038] classifying the sensors on the terminal, the classified categories including at least first type sensors and second type sensors, wherein the first type sensors wake up the system, and the second type sensors do not wake up the system. During the running of the applications on the terminal, various sensors on the terminal can be applied to ensure the normal running of the applications. The sensors on the terminal are classified into two categories, one of which wakes up the system, and the other of which does not wake up the system. For the sensors that do not wake up the system, the applications that apply such sensors can be directly frozen, and after being frozen, the system will not be affected again due to the applied sensors.

[0039] In some embodiments, determining whether to freeze the application based on the application to be frozen and the sensor type applied by the application can comprise:

[0040] When the sensor type applied by the application is the second type of sensor, it is determined to freeze the application. When the sensor applied by the application is the second type of sensor, that is, the sensor that does not wake up the system, the application can be directly frozen.

[0041] In some embodiments, determining whether to freeze the application based on the application to be frozen and the sensor type applied by the application can comprise:

[0042] When the sensor type applied by the application is the first type of sensor, if it is further determined that the sensor type applied by the application is a motion sensor, it is determined not to freeze the application. When the sensor type applied by the application is the first type of sensor, that is, the sensor that wakes up the system, it needs to be further determined whether to freeze. The sensors on the terminal can be further divided into motion sensors and environment sensors. The motion sensor is a software SensorList-Sports abstracted based on six basic hardware sensors. It is mainly related to motion, such as motion detection, motion wakeup, significant motion, and the like. It is also related to gestures, such as pickup-sensor. The motion sensor is a sensor that detects the motion of the terminal, such as an acceleration sensor and a gyroscope. The application that applies this type of sensor will not have an ideal freezing effect due to the sensor, and the use experience of the application may be affected after freezing. Therefore, the application is not frozen at this time. The environment sensor is mainly related to hardware, such as a proximity sensor and a brightness sensor.

[0043] In some embodiments, determining whether to freeze the application based on the application to be frozen and the sensor type applied by the application can comprise:

[0044] When the sensor type applied by the application is the first type of sensor, if it is further determined that the sensor type applied by the application is an environment sensor, it is determined not to freeze the application when the terminal is in a bright screen state. For the environment sensor, it is generally in a working state only when the terminal is in a bright screen state, and if the terminal is in a non-bright screen state, it can be directly determined that the application can be frozen.

[0045] In some embodiments, it can further comprise:

[0046] Detecting the freezing condition of the terminal for any sensor;

[0047] When the applications of the sensor are all frozen, the registration application of the sensor is released. In the case that the applications of a certain sensor are all frozen, there is no possibility of being invoked for the sensor, so the registration application of the sensor can be directly released to prevent the possibility of reapplying the sensor.

[0048] In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

[0049] When the frozen application is thawed, the sensor applied by the application before being frozen is determined, and the registration of the sensor is re-applied.

[0050] The embodiment provides an application management method, determines an application to be frozen on a terminal, detects a sensor on the terminal applied by the application to be frozen, determines whether to freeze the application based on the application to be frozen and a sensor type applied by the application to be frozen, and performs corresponding operations. Therefore, by determining whether to freeze the application in combination with the application type and the sensor type applied by the application when the application is frozen, the freezing means of the application is effectively improved, and the freezing effect is greatly improved without affecting the normal use of the terminal.

[0051] Embodiment two

[0055] The SensorList-Environment of the environment class is mainly related to hardware, such as a proximity sensor, a brightness sensor, and a gravity sensor.

[0056] S202, when the freezing module performs freezing processing on the application, if the application is a system key application, the freezing process is ended. Otherwise, the judgment and check of the Sensor class applied by the application are performed.

[0057] S203, when the applied Sensor is not wakeable, directly return the judgment that the application can be frozen; when the applied Sensor is wakeable, further detect the Sensor category applied by the application.

[0058] S204, if the applied Sensor is in the SensorList-Sports list of the sports category, return the judgment that the application cannot be frozen, and end the freezing process of the application. Otherwise, further judge the screen state and the Sensor category.

[0059] S205, if the screen is in the bright screen state, and the applied Sensor is in the SensorList-Environment list of the environment category, such as the proximity sensor, light sensor, etc., return the judgment that the application cannot be frozen, and end the freezing process of the application. Otherwise, return the judgment that the application can be frozen.

[0060] S206, after receiving the judgment that the application can be frozen, the freezing process is performed. And the application is monitored to be unfrozen, and the freezing process is initiated again after being unfrozen.

[0061] S207, after the application is frozen, the list of frozen applications is fed back to the system.

[0062] S208, after receiving the list of frozen applications, the sensors applied by the applications are queried. If all the applications applying a certain sensor sensor are frozen, the registration application of the sensor is released.

When the user wants to use the application again, it only needs to schedule the application through the terminal background. In this way, the application does not need to be opened and run again, saving the application loading time.
