Abstract
An apparatus and method for generating an alert on a mobile terminal based on signal strength of the mobile terminal are provided. The method includes measuring a signal strength with which the mobile terminal communicates with a network, determining whether the measured signal strength is less than a predefined signal strength threshold, and if the measured signal strength is less than the predefined signal strength threshold, generating an alert indicating that the signal strength of the mobile terminal is low.
Claims40
A method for generating an alert on a mobile terminal based on signal strength of the mobile terminal, the method comprising:
- measuring a signal strength with which the mobile terminal communicates with a network;
- determining whether the measured signal strength is less than a predefined signal strength threshold;
- and
- if the measured signal strength is less than the predefined signal strength threshold, generating an alert indicating that the signal strength of the mobile terminal is low.
A method for generating a route considering signal strength of the mobile terminal, the method comprising:
- determining a start location and an end location of the route;
- determining whether the signal strength is a constraint in determination of the route;
- and
- if the signal strength is a constraint in determination of the route, generating the route considering at least one of a measured signal strength and an expected signal strength.
An apparatus for generating an alert thereon based on signal strength of the apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- at least one of an audio processing unit and a display unit;
- a communication unit for communicating with a network;
- and
- at least one controller for measuring a signal strength with which the communication unit communicates with the network, for determining whether the measured signal strength is less than a predefined signal strength threshold, if the measured signal strength is less than the predefined signal strength threshold, generating an alert indicating that the signal strength of the apparatus is low,
- wherein the alert is output through at least one of the audio processing unit and the display unit.
An apparatus for generating a route considering signal strength of the apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- a display unit;
- and
- at least one controller for determining a start location and an end location of the route, for determining whether the signal strength is a constraint in determination of the route, and if the signal strength is a constraint in determination of the route, for generating the route considering at least one of a measured signal strength and an expected signal strength,
- wherein the route is output via the display unit.
