## Abstract

A device includes a memory that stores save data used to execute an application on the device, and a processor that is coupled to the memory. The processor instructs termination of a resident application which is a periodically executed application when the device is to be transited to a hibernation state which indicates a standby state with storing the save data in the memory, and activates the resident application of which termination is instructed when resuming the device from the hibernation state.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A device comprising:
a memory configured to store save data that is used to execute an application on the device; and
a processor coupled to the memory and the processor configured to:
instruct termination of a resident application which is a periodically executed application when the device is to be transited to a hibernation state which indicates a standby state with storing the save data in the memory; and
activate the resident application of which termination is instructed when resuming the device from the hibernation state.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The device according to claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to:
change an application of which residing request is received to a resident application; and
instruct termination of the changed resident application.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The device according to claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to:
analyze package information of an application;
determine whether the application is a resident application; and
instruct termination of the application determined as the analyzed resident application.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The device according to claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to:
instruct termination of a resident application excluding a resident application that performs a display on a notification bar.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The device according to claim 4, wherein the processor is further configured to:
specify the resident application that performs a display on the notification bar; and
instruct termination of a resident application excluding the specified resident application as one that performs the display on the notification bar.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The device according to claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to:
instruct termination of a background application excluding an application that displays a home screen and an application launcher.

### Claim 7

A save data reduction method executed by a computer, the save data reduction method comprising:
instructing, using a processor, termination of a resident application which is a periodically executed application when the device is to be transited to a hibernation state which indicates a standby state with storing the save data in a memory; and
activating, using the processor, the resident application of which termination is instructed at the time of transition to the hibernation state, when resuming from the hibernation state.

### Claim 8

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium that stores therein a save data reduction program that causes a computer to execute a process comprising:
instructing termination of a resident application which is a periodically executed application when the device is to be transited to a hibernation state which indicates a standby state with storing the save data in a memory; and
activating the resident application of which termination is instructed at the time of transition to the hibernation state, when resuming from the hibernation state.
