Application State Management for Android Broadcast Power Control

The patent implements dynamic status management for applications, allowing the system to switch applications between active and inactive states based on real-time needs. The status setting permission mechanism enables the system to dynamically control which applications receive broadcast messages, rather than keeping all applications permanently active. This dynamic approach ensures applications can respond to system events when necessary while conserving power when not needed.

The patent applies preliminary anti-action by preemptively setting applications to inactive status and controlling their ability to self-restart. The status setting permission information is established in advance to prevent applications from automatically restarting after receiving broadcast messages. This preemptive measure blocks the privacy risk before it can materialize, while still allowing the system to activate applications when legitimate system events require their participation.

The patent implements self-service by automatically managing application status based on system conditions and pre-configured permission settings. Instead of requiring users to manually monitor and change application states, the system autonomously controls which applications are active or inactive based on the status setting permission information. This automated approach reduces power consumption while eliminating the operational burden on users.

The patent applies local quality by implementing selective status management where different applications have different status settings based on their specific needs. The status setting permission information is applied individually to each application, allowing the system to grant broadcast message reception rights only to those applications that require them for their specific functions. This localized approach ensures that power-consuming broadcast reception is limited to only the necessary applications while keeping others inactive.
