US 2019/0166536 A1 · ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND COMMUNICATION METHOD THEREOF

Abstract

Certain embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an electronic device and a communication method thereof. The electronic device includes a housing comprising a first plate and a second plate facing a direction opposite the first plate; a first transceiver disposed in the housing; a second transceiver disposed in the housing and to having a data throughput lower than that of the first transceiver; at least one processor operatively connected to the first transceiver and to the second transceiver; and a memory operative connected to the at least one processor, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising: determining whether the data throughput of the first transceiver is equal to or greater than a designated reference value, monitoring a temperature of the first transceiver when the data throughput is equal to or greater than the designated reference value, and determining whether to perform a handover from the first transceiver to the second transceiver based at least in part on whether the monitored temperature is equal to or higher than a first designated reference temperature.

Dependent claims

An electronic device comprising:

a housing comprising a first plate and a second plate facing a direction opposite the first plate;
a first transceiver disposed in the housing;
a second transceiver disposed in the housing and to having a data throughput lower than that of the first transceiver;
at least one processor operatively connected to the first transceiver and to the second transceiver;
and
a memory operatively connected to the at least one processor,
wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
determining whether the data throughput of the first transceiver is equal to or greater than a designated reference value, monitoring a temperature of the first transceiver when the data throughput is equal to or greater than the designated reference value, and
determining whether to perform a handover from the first transceiver to the second transceiver based at least in part on whether the monitored temperature is equal to or higher than a first designated reference temperature.

6 more elements

A portable communication device comprising:

one or more temperature sensors;
a first transceiver configured to communicate using a first communication protocol;
a second transceiver configured to communicate using a second communication protocol;
and
at least one processor operatively connected to the first transceiver and the second transceiver,
wherein the processor performs operations comprising:
establishing a first communication link between the portable communication device and an external electronic device using the first transceiver,
identifying the temperature of the first transceiver using at least one temperature sensor of the one or more temperature sensors while performing wireless communication between the portable communication device and the external electronic device through the first communication link, and
performing a handover, when the temperature of the first transceiver is equal to or higher than a designated temperature, wherein performing the handover comprises establishing a second communication link between the portable communication device and the external electronic device using the second transceiver and terminating the first communication link.
