Accordingly, although the electronic device 101 enters an area in which the Wi-Fi function can be used as the electronic device 101 is changed such that the Wi-Fi function is turned on, the processor 120 may not perform an operation for searching for an accessible AP in the state in which the predetermined application is being executed. Thereafter, when the application ends, the processor 120 may activate the Wi-Fi function again.
As described, the processor 120 may continuously provide an application service to a user by making the execution of the application not end due to a change in the communication network while the application is executed in the state in which access to the mobile communication network is maintained.
Meanwhile, although a game is described as an example of the application of which Wi-Fi network access is limited during the execution of the application, any application for transmitting or receiving data to or from a server in real time, such as a real-time video provision application, can be another example thereof.
