Abstract
A method of operating an electronic device is provided. The method includes receiving, by an electronic device, an input relating to data to be transmitted, monitoring a state of the electronic device, determining whether to transmit the data on a basis of at least part of a result of the monitoring, and transmitting the data according to a result of the determining.
Claims20
A data transmission method in an electronic device, the method comprising:
- receiving an input relating to data to be transmitted;
- monitoring a state of the electronic device;
- comparing the state of the electronic device to a pre-set transmission condition for preventing an excessive current consumption of the electronic device when transmitting the data;
- determining whether the state of the electronic device satisfies the pre-set transmission condition;
- transmitting the data when the state of the electronic device satisfies the pre-set transmission condition;
- and
- refraining from transmitting the data when the state of the electronic device does not satisfy the pre-set transmission condition,
- wherein the pre-set transmission condition comprises a camera module of the electronic device terminating,
- wherein the transmitting of the data comprises:
- determining a transceiver among a plurality of transceivers based on at least part of the monitoring result, and
- transmitting at least part of the data through the determined transceiver, and
- wherein the transceiver is selected on a basis of consuming less power than another transceiver.
An electronic device comprising:
- a mounting part mounted on an external object;
- at least one transceiver;
- and
- a processor operatively coupled to the at least one transceiver, the processor configured to perform operations comprising:
- receiving an input relating to data to be transmitted through the transceiver;
- monitoring a state of the electronic device;
- comparing the state of the electronic device to a pre-set transmission condition for preventing an excessive current consumption of the electronic device when transmitting the data;
- determining whether the state of the electronic device satisfies the pre-set transmission condition;
- transmitting the data through the transceiver when the state of the electronic device satisfies the pre-set transmission condition;
- and
- refraining from transmitting the data when the state of the electronic device does not satisfy the pre-set transmission condition,
- wherein the pre-set transmission condition comprises a camera module of the electronic device terminating,
- wherein, to transmit the data, the processor is configured to:
- determine a transceiver among a plurality of transceivers based on at least part of the monitoring result, and
- transmit at least part of the data through the determined transceiver, and wherein the transceiver is selected on a basis of consuming less power than another transceiver.
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium having a program recorded thereon, which, when executed by an electronic device, implements a method comprising:
- receiving an input relating to data to be transmitted through a transceiver;
- monitoring a state of the electronic device;
- comparing the state of the electronic device to a pre-set transmission condition for preventing an excessive current consumption of the electronic device when transmitting the data;
- determining whether the state of the electronic device satisfies the pre-set transmission condition;
- transmitting the data through the transceiver when the state of the electronic device satisfies the pre-set transmission condition;
- and
- refraining from transmitting the data when the state of the electronic device does not satisfy the pre-set transmission condition,
- wherein the pre-set transmission condition comprises a camera module of the electronic device terminating,
- wherein the transmitting of the data comprises:
- determining a transceiver among a plurality of transceivers based on at least part of the monitoring result, and
- transmitting at least part of the data through the determined transceiver, and
- wherein the transceiver is selected on a basis of consuming less power than another transceiver.
