Abstract
A method and a device for setting a network mode of an electronic terminal are provided. The method includes monitoring whether a mobile communication network area where the electronic terminal is located has been changed, acquiring network status information of a current network area, in response to the mobile communication network area being changed, and setting the network mode based on the network status information of the current network area.
Claims9
A method performed by a device for setting a network mode of an electronic terminal, the method comprising:
- monitoring whether a tracking area where the electronic terminal is located has changed;
- in response to detecting that the tracking area has changed, querying standalone mode availability information of the changed-to tracking area from a local list including tracking area code of at least one tracking area and corresponding standalone mode availability information for each of the at least one tracking area;
- in case that the standalone mode availability information of the changed-to tracking area is found from the local list,
- acquiring the standalone mode availability information of the changed-to tracking area from the local list,
- in case that the standalone mode availability information of the changed-to tracking area is not found from the local list,
- transmitting a tracking area code of the changed-to tracking area to a server,
- receiving the standalone mode availability information of the changed-to tracking area from the server, and
- updating the local list with the tracking area code of the changed-to tracking area and the received standalone mode availability information of the changed-to tracking area;
- and
- setting the network mode based on the standalone mode availability information of the changed-to tracking area,
- wherein the setting of the network mode comprises:
- setting the network mode to a standalone priority mode, in case that an standalone mode is available in the changed-to tracking area based on the standalone mode availability information;
- and
- setting the network mode to a non-standalone mode, in case that the standalone mode is not available in the changed-to tracking area based on the standalone mode availability information.
