Communication method and apparatus supporting selective communication services

An electronic device comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory for storing one or more computer programs configured to be executed by the at least one processor, the one or more computer programs including instructions for:
• recognizing an Access Point (AP) located within a threshold range in which signals are transmittable/receivable from the electronic device, in order to connect the electronic device to an external network,
• determining whether the access point is currently being moved in relation to the electronic device based on information related to at least one of the access point and the external network, and
• connecting the electronic device to the access point based on a result of the determining of whether the access point is currently being moved in relation to the electronic device.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium configured to store one or more computer programs including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to control for:

• recognizing an access point that relays a connection between an electronic device and an external network;
• determining whether the access point is currently being moved in relation to the electronic device based on at least one of recognition information, signal information, and network usage amount information of the access point and information of a fixed access point;
• and
• connecting the electronic device to the access point based on a result of the determining of whether the access point is currently being moved in relation to the electronic device.
