Abstract
Power consumption is a major problem on mobile devices. When an application runs, it causes the mobile device to reach a specified state of power consumption. We can determine energy consumption states of mobile devices by analyzing source code of the application. In this paper, we introduce a new approach to modeling energy consumption states due to the impact of Android applications using state machines. The approach takes into account the power states at specific time of the running application. The paper also proposes to construct a finite automata of power states extracted from the source code of the application. We have implemented a plug-in (called PSA) which can be integrated in Android Studio and InteliJ to visualize the finite automata of power states.
