In operation 903, the electronic device (e.g., the processor 120) may identify whether the display device 160 is deactivated, while connected to the first communication network. When the display device 160 remains in the inactive state for a reference time period, the processor 120 (e.g., the application processor 210 of
When the display device 160 is deactivated (e.g., Yes in operation 903), the electronic device (e.g., the processor 120 and/or the wireless communication module 192) may perform a handover to a second communication network in operation 905. For example, the second communication network to which the electronic device 101 is handed over may include a network having an electric field intensity equal to or higher than the reference electric field strength. When the handover to the second communication network is determined based on whether the display device 160 is activated, the processor 120 may control the wireless communication module 192 to perform the handover to the second communication network at a time when there is no data transmitted and received through the first communication network.
