Power Consumption in Android Devices - CodeShoppy
Power Consumption in Android Devices - CodeShoppy Android OS has a function with which an application can work in screen-off state without user's operation. In this paper, we propose a method for identifying applications which largely drain battery in Screen-off state in Android devices. We monitor the wake-up of Android devices and estimate the power consumption of each application based on the monitoring results. Our experimental results demonstrate that our method can identify power draining applications effectively. Android devices in screen-off state will go into sleep state without operation. In sleep state, CPU processing, display emitting, and communication are highly restricted. By the restriction, power consumption is significantly saved. ransition to sleep state may prevent application from correct working. In order to avoid this prevention, Android OS has WakeLock function, which forbids a device ...
