Abstract
A detecting system includes a sense terminal and detecting circuitry coupled to the sense terminal. The sense terminal receives an indicative signal indicative of a supply current of a power source. The detecting circuitry calculates variation in the supply current based on the indicative signal, estimates power consumption of an application program residing on a computer-readable medium according to the variation, and detects whether an abnormal condition occurs by comparing the estimated power consumption with a reference.
