Referring to FIG. 5, when the electronic device 101 in which the Wi-Fi function is turned on moves from a location A within mobile communication network coverage 500 to a location B within Wi-Fi coverage 510, the electronic device 101 may attempt to connect to the Wi-Fi connection. However, when the electronic device 101 moves from the location A to the location B while the application is executed, the electronic device 101 may not attempt to connect to the Wi-Fi connection even though there is an accessible AP according to the attributes of the executed application. For example, applications of which the Wi-Fi connection is limited may include an application for transmitting or receiving data in real time from the server, a game application, and a real-time video provision application.

Although the electronic device 101 is at location B (for example, a place in which Wi-Fi can be used, such as a home, an office, a bus, or a subway), the electronic device 101 may transmit or receive data related to the executed application to or from the corresponding server (for example, a game server) through a communication network within the mobile communication network coverage 500, such as at location A, while the application is executed. As described above, since the electronic device 101 has transmitted and received data through the mobile communication network, the electronic device 101 may not perform an operation of ending Wi-Fi access even though the electronic device 101 moves from location B to a location C within the mobile communication network coverage 500, thereby preventing the interruption of the application being executed.
