METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR COMMUNICATING BASED ON ACCESS POINT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17668850 titled 'METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR COMMUNICATING BASED ON ACCESS POINT
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device that can connect to different access points (APs) using different communication methods.
- The electronic device has a communication module that supports both a first and a second communication method.
- It can connect to a first AP from a list of APs based on the first communication method.
- When it receives a signal from an external electronic device using the second communication method, it obtains account information about the external device and a second AP list from the external device.
- The device then compares the account information from both devices to determine if there are any matching APs in the first and second AP lists.
- If there are matching APs, the device can perform wireless communication with the external device using the first communication method through the determined AP.
Original Abstract Submitted
According to various embodiments, an electronic device may include: a communication module comprising communication circuitry configured to support a first communication method and a second communication method, a memory, and a processor operatively connected to the communication module and the memory. The processor may be configured to: control the electronic device to connect to a first AP included in a first AP list based on the first communication method, receive a signal based on the second communication method transmitted from an external electronic device, obtain account information about the external electronic device and a second AP list including information about a second AP connected with the external electronic device from the external electronic device based on the second communication method upon receiving the signal, determine at least one AP, based on the first AP list and the second AP list based on account information about the electronic device and the account information about the external electronic device at least partly matching, and control the electronic device to perform wireless communication with the external electronic device based on the first communication method through the determined AP.
