The Power Saver Development on Android Oreo Smartphone Based on App Categories which Accomodate User Preference

摘要

The power management is required by owner of Android smartphone so that the device can be long enough to support the productivity of the user in mobility even the user does not realize that the app processes behind the screen use a lot of power. Turning off all app processes behind the screen can be a solution. However, it can disturb the user if the certain app process which is needed by the user is also terminated. Therefore, a special mechanism is required to regulate the processes which run such as by using the app categories which are associated with the user preference. When the selected categories are chosen, then the priority of the applications' importance is carried out. So that it can be known that whether the process is important or not for the user to be turned off. The built system model has been tested for the power usage assessment by using Ampere meter. This observation has succeeded in reducing power usage in awake condition. The scenario testing is done in 20 minutes. It can reduce the Android Oreo power consumption by 3 %.
