Abstract
A call connection method and apparatus are disclosed. When a service is released in a portable terminal that supports different communication modes due to a network problem, the call connection method and apparatus reconnects the service to another network. The call connection method includes performing a first service through a first network, analyzing, when the connected first service is released, the cause of disconnection, acquiring, when the cause of disconnection is a problem in the first network, connection information, and attempting to connect a second service through a second network based on the connection information.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- providing, at a user device, a packet switched service via a first cellular network in response to a service request;
- connecting the user device with a second cellular network based on a determination that a signal quality corresponding to the first cellular network has deteriorated below a specified value;
- and
- providing, at the user device, a circuit switched service via the second cellular network in relation with the service request.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor-implemented controller configured to:
- provide, in response to a service request, a packet switched service via a first cellular network;
- connect the apparatus with a second cellular network based on a determination that a signal quality corresponding to the first cellular network has deteriorated below a specified value;
- and
- provide a circuit switched service via the second cellular network in relation with the service request.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- providing, at a user device, a packet switched service via a first cellular network in response to a service request;
- connecting the user device to a second cellular network based on a determination that a signal quality corresponding to the first cellular network has deteriorated below a specified value;
- and
- providing, at the user device, a circuit switched service via the second cellular network in relation with the service request.
