ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PROVIDING INFORMATION OF ACCESS POINT IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18223388 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PROVIDING INFORMATION OF ACCESS POINT IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

- The patent application describes an electronic device, method, and computer-readable medium for providing information about an access point in a wireless communication system. - The method involves providing a tethering service to an external electronic device in a mobile hotspot mode. - The method further includes searching for access points capable of replacing the tethering service while still providing it. - Once the access points capable of replacing the tethering service are detected, the method involves transmitting configuration information about these access points to the external electronic device. - The purpose of this innovation is to simplify the process of connecting to an access point in a wireless communication system, particularly when switching from a tethering service to an access point.


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed are an electronic device, a method, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium for providing information of an access point in a wireless communication system. the method may include providing a tethering service to an external electronic device in a mobile hotspot mode; searching for at least one access point (AP) capable of replacing the tethering service for the external electronic device, wherein the at least one AP is capable of replacing the tethering service while providing the tethering service; and based on detecting the at least one AP capable of replacing the tethering service, transmitting configuration information about the at least one AP to connect to the at least one AP to the external electronic device.
