METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING BACKGROUND APPLICATION

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a method and device for controlling a background application. The method includes: creating (11) an application list according to running applications in an operating system; traversing (12) the identifications in the application list; determining (13) whether an application corresponding to a current traversed identification is a background application; determining (14) whether a predetermined white list comprises the current traversed identification and whether a number of identifications corresponding to background applications in the application list is greater than a predetermined threshold, if the application corresponding to the current traversed identification is a background application; selecting (15) an identification corresponding to a background application from the application list and exiting (16) the background application corresponding to the selected identification, if the predetermined white list comprises the current traversed identification and the number is greater than the predetermined threshold; exiting the application corresponding to the current traversed identification if the predetermined white list does not comprise the current traversed identification and the number is greater than the predetermined threshold.
