Electronic device and method for controlling data throughput based on heat generation in electronic device

A method performed by an electronic device for controlling data throughput based on heat generation, the method comprising:

• identifying, by the electronic device, a temperature associated with a first communication via at least one temperature sensor;
• identifying, by the electronic device, based on the temperature being equal to or higher than a threshold value, a first application in a background state having a data throughput of the first communication equal to or more than a designated throughput associated with the first communication and a second application in a foreground state among a plurality of applications;
• and
• reducing, by the electronic device, the data throughput of the first application by changing a running time of one or more processors of the electronic device for processing the first application.

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

• identifying, by the electronic device, a temperature associated with a first communication via at least one temperature sensor;
• based on the temperature being equal to or higher than a threshold value, identifying, by the electronic device, a first application in a background state having a data throughput of the first communication equal to or more than a designated throughput associated with the first communication and a second application in a foreground state among a plurality of applications;
• and
• reducing, by the electronic device, the data throughput of the first application by changing a running time of one or more processors for processing the first application.
