In an embodiment, because the event handler module 402 does not require user interaction of the electronic device 400 when the LCD of the electronic device 400 is in an off state, the event handler module 402 may ignore a bottleneck phenomenon even when a critical path operation becomes longer.

The resource limitation state may refer to a state in which the electronic device 400 restricts use of system resources to reduce battery consumption.

The pressure stall info (PSI) may refer to information about a busy level of resources of the electronic device 400. For example, the PSI may refer to information about a resource busy state of a CPU, memory, and/or input/output (I/O) included in or operatively connected to the electronic device 400.

In an embodiment, the event handler module 402 may determine whether the delay event, the LCD state, the resource limitation state, and/or the pressure stall info (PSI) exceed a threshold value.

In an embodiment, the level determination module 403 may determine the bottleneck score of the corresponding window by calculating the delay event during the window of a specified time interval.

The level determination module 403 may determine the state level based on the determined bottleneck window score. The level determination module 403 may transition a level according to the determined state level.

The hint trigger module 404 may detect a state level transition and determine whether the state level transition is higher than or equal to a specified level. The hint trigger module 404 may transmit the hint to the resource control module 405 when the transitioned state level is higher than or equal to a specified level. The hint may refer to information about the transitioned state level.
