APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GENERATING ACCESS POINT LIST IN MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL
First Claim
1. A method for generating an Access Point (AP) list in a mobile communication terminal, the method comprising:
- acquiring by a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver a current position information of the mobile communication terminal;
performing by a communication module an AP scan and determining if a beacon signal is received by a communication module;
when at least one beacon signal is received by a communication module, acquiring by a controller corresponding AP information from the received beacon signal; and
mapping the AP information with the current position information, and storing the mapping result in a storage unit.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for generating an Access Point (AP) list in a mobile communication terminal. The method preferably includes acquiring current position information of the mobile communication terminal, performing AP scan and determining if a beacon signal is received, when at least one beacon signal is received, acquiring corresponding AP information from the received beacon signal, and mapping the AP information with the current position information and storing the mapping result. The apparatus preferably includes a position information acquisition unit that acquires current position information of the mobile communication terminal. A communication module performs AP scan and receives a beacon signal. A controller receives at least one beacon signal, acquires corresponding AP information from the received beacon signal, and maps the AP information with the current position information.
