First Claim
1. A mobile device, comprising:
- at least one processor; and
a storage system that stores one or more programs, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to;
periodically send an update command to a first server wirelessly connected to the mobile device after the mobile device enters a sleep mode, the update command controlling the first server to transmit a network status of the first server to the mobile device;
wake up the mobile device when the network status of the first server is not acquired within a predetermined time period;
search alternate servers in a wireless network, and generate a server list comprising names of all of the alternate servers, each of the alternate servers having a signal coverage range that covers a location of the mobile device;
select a target server from the server list, and send a connection command to the target server to request a connection between the mobile device and the target server;

Abstract
In a method for automatically connecting a mobile device to a server, an update command is periodically sent to a first server wirelessly connected to the mobile device after the mobile device enters a sleep mode. The update command requires a network status of the first server. The mobile device is waken when the network status is not acquired within a predetermined time period. Alternate servers are searched for to generate a list of server names. A target server is selected from the list, and a connection command is sent to the target server for establishing a connection between the mobile device and the target server. Network setting information is acquired from the target server. The connection between the mobile device and the target server is established according to the network setting information.
