A method for processing an application of a mobile terminal, comprising: detecting whether the mobile terminal is currently in standby state, comprising: detecting whether one or more operation instructions on one or more physical buttons and a touch screen are received within a preset time period; determining that the mobile terminal is currently in standby state in responding to detecting that the one or more operation instructions on the one or more physical buttons and the touch screen are not received within the preset time period; and determining that the mobile terminal is currently in non-standby state in responding to detecting that the one or more operation instructions on the one or more physical buttons and the touch screen are received within the preset time period; traversing all available sensor connection interfaces in responding to detecting that the mobile terminal is currently in standby state; determining whether an application corresponding to each of the available sensor connection interfaces is in accordance with a filtering condition, wherein, a power management function application obtains a list of applications that are allowed to hold sensors in the standby state, the list is generated by a security module of the mobile terminal, and the application meets the filtering condition if the application is in the list; exiting the application in responding to determining that the application corresponding to each of the available sensor connection interfaces is not in accordance with the filtering condition, and restraining the application from holding a corresponding sensor connection. detecting whether the mobile terminal is currently in standby state, comprising: detecting whether one or more operation instructions on one or more physical buttons and a touch screen are received within a preset time period; determining that the mobile terminal is currently in standby state in responding to detecting that the one or more operation instructions on the one or more physical buttons and the touch screen are not received within the preset time period; and determining that the mobile terminal is currently in non-standby state in responding to detecting that the one or more operation instructions on the one or more physical buttons and the touch screen are received within the preset time period; detecting whether one or more operation instructions on one or more physical buttons and a touch screen are received within a preset time period; determining that the mobile terminal is currently in standby state in responding to detecting that the one or more operation instructions on the one or more physical buttons and the touch screen are not received within the preset time period; and determining that the mobile terminal is currently in non-standby state in responding to detecting that the one or more operation instructions on the one or more physical buttons and the touch screen are received within the preset time period; traversing all available sensor connection interfaces in responding to detecting that the mobile terminal is currently in standby state; determining whether an application corresponding to each of the available sensor connection interfaces is in accordance with a filtering condition, wherein, a power management function application obtains a list of applications that are allowed to hold sensors in the standby state, the list is generated by a security module of the mobile terminal, and the application meets the filtering condition if the application is in the list; exiting the application in responding to determining that the application corresponding to each of the available sensor connection interfaces is not in accordance with the filtering condition, and restraining the application from holding a corresponding sensor connection.
