1. A method for determining a cause of overheating of a device, the method comprising:
monitoring, by the device, a plurality of parameters that are contributing to a temperature of the device;
estimating, by the device, a degree of contribution of internal factors to the temperature of the device and a degree of contribution of external factors to the temperature of the device, based on the monitored plurality of parameters and a battery temperature of a battery of the device; and
determining, by a classifier neural network, whether the degree of contribution of the internal factors to the temperature of the device is greater than the degree of contribution of the external factors to the temperature of the device, based on whether the battery temperature is greater than an ambient temperature of the device,
wherein when the battery temperature is greater than the ambient temperature of the device, then the degree of contribution of the internal factors to the temperature of the device is greater than the degree of contribution of the external factors to the temperature of the device, and
wherein when the battery temperature is less than the ambient temperature of the device, then the degree of contribution of the external factors to the temperature of the device is greater than the degree of contribution of the internal factors to the temperature of the device.
