Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention disclose an application heartbeat period adjusting method and apparatus, and a terminal, and in the embodiments, it is determined, according to an identifier of an application, that the application is in a heartbeat adjustment blacklist. A first heartbeat period of the application is adjusted to a second heartbeat period according to a preset trigger heartbeat period. The heartbeat adjustment blacklist includes an identifier of an application on which a heartbeat period adjustment needs to be performed, the first heartbeat period of the application is an original heartbeat period of the application, the second heartbeat period is a heartbeat period, which is adjusted according to the preset trigger heartbeat period, of the application, and the preset trigger heartbeat period is an adjustment period according to which the first heartbeat period is adjusted.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An application heartbeat period adjusting method, comprising:
determining, according to an identifier of an application, that the application is in a heartbeat adjustment blacklist; and
adjusting a first heartbeat period of the application to a second heartbeat period according to a preset trigger heartbeat period, wherein
the heartbeat adjustment blacklist comprises an identifier of an application on which a heartbeat period adjustment needs to be performed, the first heartbeat period of the application is an original heartbeat period of the application, the second heartbeat period is a heartbeat period, which is adjusted according to the preset trigger heartbeat period, of the application, and the preset trigger heartbeat period is an adjustment period according to which the first heartbeat period is adjusted.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein adjusting the first heartbeat period of the application to the second heartbeat period comprises:
adjusting the first heartbeat period of the application to the second heartbeat period according to the preset trigger heartbeat period by using an alarm adjustment algorithm, wherein
the alarm adjustment algorithm includes:
the second heartbeat period of the application=((the first heartbeat period of the application+the preset trigger heartbeat period−1)/the preset trigger heartbeat period)*the preset trigger heartbeat period.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before determining that the application is in the heartbeat adjustment blacklist, the method comprises:
if it is determined that the application is not in an application whitelist, acquiring a heartbeat type and the first heartbeat period of the application;
if the heartbeat type of the application is a heartbeat type that needs an adjustment, and it is determined, according to the first heartbeat period of the application, that a number of times the application wakes up a system within a preset period of time is greater than a preset times threshold, determining that the first heartbeat period of the application needs to be adjusted; and
adding the identifier of the application to the heartbeat adjustment blacklist.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein adjusting the first heartbeat period of the application to the second heartbeat period comprises:
adjusting the first heartbeat period of the application to the second heartbeat period according to the preset trigger heartbeat period by using an alarm adjustment algorithm, wherein
the alarm adjustment algorithm includes:
the second heartbeat period of the application=((the first heartbeat period of the application+the preset trigger heartbeat period−1)/the preset trigger heartbeat period)*the preset trigger heartbeat period.

5. The method according to claim 3 , wherein before it is determined that the application is not in the application whitelist, the method comprises presetting the application whitelist, wherein the application whitelist comprises an identifier of an application on which it is determined, according to an application attribute, that the heartbeat period adjustment does not need to be performed.

6. The method according to claim 3 , wherein acquiring the heartbeat type and the first heartbeat period of the application comprises acquiring the heartbeat type and the first heartbeat period of the application according to an alarm configuration file of the application.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein adjusting the first heartbeat period of the application to the second heartbeat period comprises:
adjusting the first heartbeat period of the application to the second heartbeat period according to the preset trigger heartbeat period by using an alarm adjustment algorithm, wherein
the alarm adjustment algorithm includes:
the second heartbeat period of the application=((the first heartbeat period of the application+the preset trigger heartbeat period−1)/the preset trigger heartbeat period)*the preset trigger heartbeat period.

8. An application heartbeat period adjusting apparatus, comprising:
a first determining module, configured to determine, according to an identifier of an application, that the application is in a heartbeat adjustment blacklist; and
an adjusting module, configured to adjust a first heartbeat period of the application to a second heartbeat period according to a preset trigger heartbeat period, if the first determining module determines that the application is in the heartbeat adjusting blacklist, wherein
the heartbeat adjustment blacklist comprises an identifier of an application on which a heartbeat period adjustment needs to be performed, the first heartbeat period of the application is an original heartbeat period of the application, the second heartbeat period is a heartbeat period, which is adjusted according to the preset trigger heartbeat period, of the application, and the preset trigger heartbeat period is an adjustment period according to which the first heartbeat period is adjusted.

9. The apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the adjusting module is specifically configured to adjust the first heartbeat period of the application to the second heartbeat period according to the preset trigger heartbeat period by using an alarm adjustment algorithm, wherein
the alarm adjustment algorithm includes:
the second heartbeat period of the application=((the first heartbeat period of the application+the preset trigger heartbeat period−1)/the preset trigger heartbeat period)*the preset trigger heartbeat period.

10. The apparatus according to claim 8 , further comprising:
an acquiring module, configured to acquire a heartbeat type and the first heartbeat period of the application, if the first determining module determines that the application is not in an application whitelist;
a second determining module, configured to, if the heartbeat type of the application is a heartbeat type that needs an adjustment, and it is determined, according to the first heartbeat period of the application, that a number of times the application wakes up a system within a preset period of time is greater than a preset times threshold, determine that the first heartbeat period of the application needs to be adjusted; and
a setting module, configured to add the identifier of the application to the heartbeat adjustment blacklist.

11. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the adjusting module is specifically configured to adjust the first heartbeat period of the application to the second heartbeat period according to the preset trigger heartbeat period by using an alarm adjustment algorithm, wherein
the alarm adjustment algorithm includes:
the second heartbeat period of the application=((the first heartbeat period of the application+the preset trigger heartbeat period−1)/the preset trigger heartbeat period)*the preset trigger heartbeat period.

12. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the setting module is further configured to preset the application whitelist, wherein the application whitelist comprises an identifier of an application on which it is determined, according to an application attribute, that the heartbeat period adjustment does not need to be performed.

13. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the acquiring module is specifically configured to acquire the heartbeat type and the first heartbeat period of the application according to an alarm configuration file of the application.

14. The apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the adjusting module is specifically configured to adjust the first heartbeat period of the application to the se
