Abstract
An electronic device and method thereof are provided. The electronic device includes a display; and a processor configured to control the display, wherein the processor is further configured to identify a condition for updating a channel, compare the condition for updating the channel to a predetermined condition, determine whether to update the channel based on a result of the comparison, and control the display to display information relating to updating the channel. The method includes identifying a condition for updating a channel; comparing the condition for updating the channel to a predetermined condition; determining whether to update the channel based on a result of the comparison; and displaying information relating to updating the channel.
Claims14
An electronic device, comprising:
- a display;
- and
- a processor configured to control the display,
- wherein the processor is further configured to:
- detect a channel signal intensity,
- determine whether the detected channel signal intensity is lower than a reference value,
- in response to determining that the detected channel signal intensity is lower than the reference value, detect a location of the electronic device,
- determine whether an area is changed based on the detected location of the electronic device, wherein the electronic device is in the area,
- in response to determining that the area is changed based on the detected location of the electronic device, display a notification indicating the area is changed,
- determine whether a channel list of the changed area is stored,
- if the channel list of the changed area is stored, determine whether a first channel exists in the channel list of the changed area, wherein the first channel corresponds to a second channel which is displayed currently,
- in response to determining that the first channel does not exist in the channel list of the changed area, display the channel list of the changed area,
- in response to determining that the first channel exists in the channel list of the changed area, display the first channel corresponding to the second channel, and
- if the channel list of the changed area is not stored, update the channel list of the changed area.
A method of an electronic device, comprising:
- detecting, on a processor, a channel signal intensity,
- determining, on the processor, whether the detected channel signal intensity is lower than a reference value,
- in response to determining that the detected channel signal intensity is lower than the reference value, detecting, on the processor, a location of the electronic device,
- determining, on the processor, whether an area is changed based on the detected location of the electronic device, wherein the electronic device is in the area,
- in response to determining that the area is changed based on the detected location of the electronic device, displaying, on a display, a notification indicating the area is changed,
- determining, on the processor, whether a channel list of the changed area is stored,
- if the channel list of the changed area is stored, determining whether a first channel exists in the channel list of the changed area, wherein the first channel corresponds to a second channel which is displayed currently,
- in response to determining that the first channel does not exist in the channel list of the changed area, displaying, on the display, the channel list corresponding to the changed area,
- in response to determining that the first channel exists in the channel list of the changed area, displaying, on the display, the first channel corresponding to the second channel, and
- if the channel list of the changed area is not stored, updating, by the processor, the channel list of the changed area.
