Abstract
Provided are a method and an apparatus for transmitting a message in a dual mode terminal which supports a mobile communication network and a wireless Internet network. If an event for transmitting the message occurs in a mode supporting the mobile communication network, it is determined whether the wireless Internet network exists in a current position of the dual mode terminal; if it is determined that the wireless Internet network exists in the current position of the dual mode terminal, the mode supporting the mobile communication network is changed into a mode supporting the wireless internet network; and the message is transmitted through the wireless Internet network.
Claims15
A method of transmitting a message in a dual mode terminal, which supports a mobile communication network and a wireless Internet network, the method comprising:
- determining whether an event for transmitting a message has occurred in a normal mode supporting the mobile communication network;
- writing the message in the normal mode supporting the mobile communication network;
- determining whether the wireless Internet network exists in a current position of the dual mode terminal if the event for transmitting a message has occurred in the normal mode;
- changing a mode supporting the mobile communication network into a mode supporting the wireless Internet network if the wireless Internet network exists in the current position of the dual mode terminal;
- and
- transmitting the message written in the normal mode through the wireless Internet network.
An apparatus for transmitting a message in a dual mode terminal, which supports a mobile communication network and a wireless Internet network, the apparatus comprising:
- a controller determining whether an event for transmitting a message has occurred in a normal mode supporting the mobile communication network, and if the event for transmitting a message has occurred in the normal mode, writing the message in the normal mode supporting the mobile communication network, determining whether a wireless Internet network exists in a current position of the dual mode terminal, and if the wireless Internet network exists in the current position of the dual mode terminal, changing a mode supporting the mobile communication network into a mode supporting the wireless Internet network to output the message;
- and
- a wireless Internet module transmitting the message written in the normal mode through the wireless Internet network.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for transmitting a message in a dual mode terminal, which supports a mobile communication network and a wireless Internet network, comprising:
- a first code segment, for determining whether an event for transmitting a message has occurred in a normal mode supporting the mobile communication network;
- a second code segment, for writing the message in the normal mode supporting the mobile communication network;
- a third code segment for determining whether the wireless Internet network exists in a current position of the dual mode terminal if the event for transmitting a message has occurred in the normal mode;
- a fourth code segment, for changing a mode supporting the mobile communication network into a mode supporting the wireless Internet network if the wireless Internet network exists in the current position of the dual mode terminal;
- and
- a fifth code segment, for transmitting the message written in the normal mode through the wireless Internet network.
