Method and device of launching an application in background

An electronic device comprising:

• memory configured to store at least one instruction;
• and
• at least one processor configured to execute the at least one instruction to:
• identify a plurality of user interaction parameters and a plurality of hardware parameters of the electronic device while a first application is running,
• identify, by inputting the plurality of user interaction parameters and the plurality of hardware parameters to a pre-trained on-device model that determines a Contextual Application Launch (CAL) score based on normalized values of the plurality of user interaction parameters and the plurality of hardware parameters, an optimal time to pre-launch an application in a background based on the CAL score and a CAL threshold score,
• identify at least one second application which is probable to be launched,
• pre-launch the at least one second application in the background at the optimal time, and
• launch the at least one second application in a foreground based on a user input.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing one or more computer programs including computer-executable instructions, that, when executed by at least one processor of an electronic device individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• identifying a plurality of user interaction parameters and a plurality of hardware parameters of the electronic device while a first application is running;
• identifying, by inputting the plurality of user interaction parameters and the plurality of hardware parameters to a pre-trained on-device model that determines a Contextual Application Launch (CAL) score based on normalized values of the plurality of user interaction parameters and the plurality of hardware parameters, an optimal time to pre-launch an application in a background based on the CAL score and a CAL threshold score;
• identifying at least one second application which is probable to be launched;
• pre-launching the at least one second application in the background at the optimal time;
• and
• launching the at least one second application in a foreground based on a user input.
