Abstract
A communication control method of an electronic device includes operating the electronic device in a first mode having a first operating cycle, and measuring a location of the electronic device. The method further includes, based on a result of measuring the location of the electronic device, and while in a first measuring cycle, determining whether the electronic device is located within at least one predetermined area. Also, the method includes changing the first operating cycle of the first mode or the first measuring cycle of the electronic device when the electronic device is located within the at least one predetermined area. The at least one predetermined area is at least one of a geo-fence and a communication accessible area.
