Abstract

An electronic device and an operating method thereof for monitoring, identifying and controlling an application and a component which excessively consume battery power are provided. The electronic device monitors an operation of an application installed therein or an operation of a component embedded therein. The electronic device checks the amount of power consumed for the operation of the application or the operation of the component at regular intervals, and based on the checked amount of power, determines whether the operation of the application or the operation of the component is an abnormal operation. If the operation of the application or the operation of the component is an abnormal operation, the electronic device identifies a policy corresponding to the abnormal operation and based on the identified policy, controls the operation of the application or the operation of the component to eliminate the abnormal operation.
