Abstract

A resource statistics collection method and apparatus, and a terminal are provided. The method includes: recording a process running on a terminal at each of at least two time points; for each of the time points, obtaining at least one hardware resource invoked by the process running at the time point; obtaining a process set including processes running at the at least two time points; and obtaining, according to the hardware resource invoked by the process in the process set, information about the at least one hardware resource occupied by an application associated with the process in the process set. In embodiments of the present invention, statistics collection is performed per process, so that information about the hardware resource occupied by each application of the terminal can be obtained, and a statistical granularity is relatively fine.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A resource statistics collection method, comprising:
obtaining, for a time range, battery charge status information for a terminal comprising a processor, a battery and a display, the battery charge status information comprising a percentage of battery charge remaining;
calculating at least one of an amount of time the display is in a screen-on state within a selected time period less than the time range, or an amount of time the display is in a screen-off state within the selected time period;
obtaining, for the selected time period, information about power consumption for an application executed by the processor, the information about power consumption for the application comprising at least one of an amount of time the display is occupied by the application within the selected time period, or an amount of time the application is running in a background within the selected time period; and
causing a graphical user interface to be output by the display, the graphical user interface comprising:
a graphical representation of the percentage of battery charge remaining over the time range;
a differentiated portion of the graphical representation corresponding to the selected time period, the differentiated portion of the graphical representation being displayed differently from a remainder of the graphical representation outside the selected time period;
at least one of the amount of time the display is in the screen-on state within the selected time period, or the amount of time the display is in the screen-off state within the selected time period; and
at least one of the amount of time the display is occupied by the application within the selected time period, or the amount of time the application is running in the background within the selected time period.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the application is a first application, and the graphical user interface comprises statistical data associated with the first application and corresponding statistical data associated with a second application.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the at least one of the amount of time the display is in the screen-on state within the selected time period, or the amount of time the display is in the screen-off state within the selected time period is displayed with respect to at least one of the first application or the second application.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the amount of time the display is in the screen-on state within the selected time period, or the amount of time the display is in the screen-off state within the selected time period included in the graphical user interface comprises a graphical representation of the at least one of the amount of time the display is in the screen-on state within the selected time period, or the amount of time the display is in the screen-off state within the selected time period, over the selected time period.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein
the graphical user interface comprises a graphical representation of the amount of time the display is in the screen-on state within the selected time period and the amount of time the display is in the screen-off state within the selected time period, over the selected time period, and
a first portion of the graphical representation of the amount of time the display is in the screen-on state within the selected time period is displayed differently from a second portion of the graphical representation of the amount of time the display is in the screen-off state within the selected time period.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the graphical user interface includes a total of the amount of time the display is occupied by the application within the selected time period, and the amount of time the application is running in the background within the selected time period.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
causing the graphical user interface to display information indicating a power consumption status of the application based on a total power consumption of one or more hardware resources occupied by the application within the selected time period.

8. A terminal, comprising a processor, a storage, a battery, and a display, wherein the processor, the storage, and the at least one hardware resource are separately connected to a communications bus, a set of program code is stored in the storage, and the processor is configured to invoke the program code stored in the storage, so as to perform the following steps:
obtaining, for a time range, battery charge status information for the terminal, the battery charge status information comprising a percentage of battery charge remaining;
calculating at least one of an amount of time the display is in a screen-on state within a selected time period less than the time range, or an amount of time the display is in a screen-off state within the selected time period;
obtaining, for the selected time period, information about power consumption for an application executed by the processor, the information about power consumption for the application comprising at least one of an amount of time the display is occupied by the application within the selected time period, or an amount of time the application is running in a background within the selected time period; and
causing a graphical user interface to be output by the display, the graphical user interface comprising:
a graphical representation of the percentage of battery charge remaining over the time range;
a differentiated portion of the graphical representation corresponding to the selected time period, the differentiated portion of the graphical representation being displayed differently from a remainder of the graphical representation outside the selected time period;
at least one of the amount of time the display is in the screen-on state within the selected time period, or the amount of time the display is in the screen-off state within the selected time period; and
at least one of the amount of time the display is occupied by the application within the selected time period, or the amount of time the application is running in the background within the selected time period.

9. The terminal according to claim 8 , wherein the application is a first application, and the graphical user interface comprises statistical data associated with the first application and corresponding statistical data associated with a second application.

10. The terminal according to claim 9 , wherein the at least one of the amount of time the display is in the screen-on state within the selected time period, or the amount of time the display is in the screen-off state within the selected time period is displayed with respect to at least one of the first application or the second application.

11. The terminal according to claim 8 , wherein the at least one of the amount of time the display is in the screen-on state within the selected time period, or the amount of time the display is in the screen-off state within the selected time period included in the graphical user interface comprises a graphical representation of the at least one of the amount of time the display is in the screen-on state within the selected time period, or the amount of time the display is in the screen-off state within the selected time period, over the selected time period.

12. The terminal according to claim 8 , wherein
the graphical user interface comprises a graphical representation of the amount of time the display is in the screen-on state within the selected time period and the amount of time the display is in the screen-off state within the selected time period, over the selected
