Application program control method and device, equipment and program product

The invention provides an application program control method, apparatus and device, and a program product. The method comprises the steps of obtaining a device performance level of a target client; obtaining operation parameters when the target client operates the target application program; and determining an adjustment strategy of the target application program according to the running parameters, the equipment performance grade and the overhead demand type of the adjustable characteristic of the target application program, so as to adjust the adjustable characteristic of the target application program based on the adjustment strategy. According to the method and the device, for the clients with different configurations, the overhead during application running is adaptively adjusted by combining the requirements of the application characteristics for the overhead and the states of the clients during application running, so that the application can stably run in the clients with various configurations, and t
