Abstract:
An apparatus and method for application execution environment setting in a mobile terminal are provided. The application execution environment setting apparatus configures application execution environment variables on a per application basis in consideration of variable values assigned by the user in the past.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an electronic device comprising processor connected to a memory. The memory is configured to store a control application, a preferences file and an operating system image for executing a second operating system. The processor is configured to execute the control application in a first operating system. The processor is configured to determine whether preferences of the operating system image satisfy a defined condition in the control application The processor is also configured to change the preferences of the operating system image by using the preferences file when the preferences of the operating system image do not satisfy the defined condition. The processor is further configured to copy, to the operating system image, a package file for allowing the control application to control an operation of the second operating system.
Abstract:
An electronic device for executing various operating systems is provided. The electronic device includes first and second hardware devices, a first operating system (OS), a second OS different from the first OS, and a processor configured to control the first hardware device to process first data from a first program executed on the first OS, obtain a command for executing the second OS, generate a container for executing the second OS based on a kernel of the first OS in response to the command for executing the second OS, execute the second OS on the generated container, execute a second program on the second OS, obtain second data regarding the second program from the second OS via socket communication by a control application installed on the first OS, and control the second hardware device to process the second data regarding the second program based on the first OS using the installed control application.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for reducing battery power consumption are provided when a mobile device executes a navigation application. To this end, the apparatus calculates and compares a usable time on a battery and an estimate time for arrival at a selected destination during a navigation mode, then if the usable time is less than the estimated time for arrival, the apparatus performs at least one power saving mode to conserve battery life.
