Abstract:
An electronic device protecting privacy is provided. The electronic device includes a communication module configured to perform wireless communication, and a control module configured to select one of an active scan and a passive scan by controlling the communication module.
Abstract:
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a communication unit configured to communicate with an Access Point (AP), a controller configured to find at least one AP through the communication unit, and transmit a query signal to the found at least one AP found through the communication unit to request a connection, wherein the controller sets up at least one of a maximum number of retransmission times of a query signal and a response standby time of the query signal based on at least one of a number of the found at least one AP and a quality of the found at least one AP.
Abstract:
A method for controlling an electronic device is provided. The method includes recognizing an access point located within a threshold range in which signals are transmittable/receivable from the electronic device, in order to connect the electronic device to an external network, determining whether the electronic device is currently moved based on information related to at least one of the access point and the external network, and deciding on whether to prevent connection of the electronic device to the access point based on a result of the determining whether the access point is currently moved.

Abstract:
A method of controlling power supply for a fingerprint sensor is provided. The method includes receiving sensor data obtained from the fingerprint sensor; determining whether the received sensor data is a fingerprint form of data; if the received sensor data is the fingerprint form of data, determining an amount of change in sensor data received over a predetermined time is greater than or equal to a predetermined value; and if the received sensor data is not the fingerprint form of data or if the received sensor data is the fingerprint form of data but an amount of change in the received sensor data is less than the predetermined value, allowing the fingerprint sensor to enter a power saving mode.
