Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method which includes: generating an application list according to applications running in an operating system; traversing the identifiers in the application list; determining whether an application corresponding to a currently traversed identifier is a background application; determining whether a predetermined white list comprises the currently traversed identifier and whether the number of identifiers corresponding to background applications in the application list is greater than a predetermined threshold, if the application corresponding to the currently traversed identifier is a background application; selecting an identifier corresponding to a background application from the application list and closing the background application corresponding to the selected identifier, if the predetermined white list comprises the currently traversed identifier and the number is greater than the predetermined threshold; or closing the application corresponding to the currently traversed identifier if the predetermined white list does not comprise the currently traversed identifier and the number is greater than the predetermined threshold.
