==ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PERFORMING SCANNING OF LINK AND OPERATION METHOD FOR SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18081233 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PERFORMING SCANNING OF LINK AND OPERATION METHOD FOR SAME

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes methods and apparatuses for scanning a link in an electronic device that performs data communications with an external electronic device through multiple links. The device determines whether to simultaneously or sequentially perform scans of different links based on their characteristics. If sequential scanning is chosen, data communications through the first link are stopped and at least one data communication is performed through the second link before scanning the first link. The communication circuit is controlled to perform data communications through the second link while scanning the first link.

* The patent application focuses on scanning links in electronic devices.
* The device determines whether to scan links simultaneously or sequentially based on their characteristics.
* If sequential scanning is chosen, data communications through the first link are stopped temporarily.
* At least one data communication is performed through the second link before scanning the first link.
* The communication circuit is controlled to perform data communications through the second link while scanning the first link.

==Potential Applications==
* This technology can be applied in various electronic devices that perform data communications through multiple links, such as smartphones, tablets, and computers.
* It can be used in networking devices to optimize link scanning and data communications.

==Problems Solved==
* The technology solves the problem of efficiently scanning multiple links in electronic devices.
* It addresses the issue of determining whether to scan links simultaneously or sequentially based on their characteristics.
* The technology solves the problem of temporarily stopping data communications through a link while performing scans.

==Benefits==
* The technology improves the efficiency of link scanning in electronic devices.
* It allows for better utilization of resources by determining the optimal scanning method for each link.
* The technology minimizes disruptions in data communications by performing at least one data communication through another link while scanning a specific link.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Methods and apparatuses for scanning a link are provided. An electronic device includes a communication circuit configured to perform data communications with an external electronic device through a plurality of links, and a processor configured to: determine whether to simultaneously perform or sequentially perform a first scan of the first link and a second scan of the second link, based on first characteristics of the first link and second characteristics of the second link; stop data communications through the first link and perform at least one data communication through the second link, before performing the first scan of the first link, in response to a determination to sequentially perform the first scan of the first link and the second scan of the second link; and control the communication circuit to perform data communications through the second link while performing the first scan of the first link.
