Abstract
In various embodiments, an electronic device may include a wireless communication module performing WLAN communication, a processor operatively connected to the wireless communication module, and a memory operatively connected to the processor. The processor may receive geofence-related information from a server in response to execution of an application associated with a geofencing service, identify status information of the electronic device, determine at least one channel based on the received geofence-related information and/or the identified status information of the electronic device, and perform a scan function based on the determined at least one channel. Other embodiments are possible.
