A method of controlling an electronic apparatus for running at least one application is provided. The method includes obtaining feature data corresponding to a plurality of running applications, wherein the feature data comprises current system state data and running state data corresponding to the at least one application, identifying a target abnormal application based on the feature data corresponding to the plurality of the running applications, obtaining interactive data corresponding to a plurality of call actions of the target abnormal application within a preset duration, identifying a target abnormal call action based on the interactive data corresponding to the plurality of the call actions, and performing call restriction on the target abnormal call action based on monitoring the target abnormal call action.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method of controlling an electronic apparatus for running at least one application, the method comprising: obtaining, by the electronic apparatus, feature data corresponding to a plurality of running applications running in the electronic apparatus, wherein the feature data comprises current system state data and running state data corresponding to the at least one application; identifying, by the electronic apparatus, a target abnormal application based on the feature data corresponding to the plurality of running applications; obtaining, by the electronic apparatus, interactive data corresponding to a plurality of call actions of the target abnormal application within a preset duration, the interactive data including a number of calls of each of the plurality of call actions within the preset duration; identifying, by the electronic apparatus, a target abnormal call action based on the number of calls of each of the plurality of call actions within the preset duration; and performing, by the electronic apparatus, call restriction on the target abnormal call action based on monitoring the target abnormal call action.
