MOBILE TERMINAL, WIRELESS NETWORK SYSTEM HAVING THE MOBILE TERMINAL, AND SCANNING METHOD OF THE WIRELESS NETWORK SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A scanning method performed by a wireless network system comprising a mobile terminal, the scanning method comprising:
- detecting a moving status of the mobile terminal by using a value of a signal from a sensor that is mounted in the mobile terminal;
determining whether the moving status of the mobile terminal is maintained during a first time period after the moving status is detected;
sensing a strength of a signal provided from a base station to which the mobile terminal is connected; and
performing a scanning operation according to a result of the determining and a result of the sensing.
