  • Systems and methods for reducing forced application termination
    Patent number: 11567784
    Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include detecting an application running in a background state on a client device. The method may also include collecting state data about a current state of the client device. Additionally, the method may include determining, by applying a machine learning model to the collected state data, that a likelihood of forcible termination of the application within a predetermined timeframe exceeds a threshold. Furthermore, the method may include reducing a computing resource footprint of the application on the client device to reduce the likelihood of forcible termination of the application. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
