Wi-Fi power-saving method and mobile terminal

Abstract

The invention discloses a Wi-Fi power-saving method and a mobile terminal. The method can judge whether the position of the mobile terminal is changed or not through employing the change of the information of a base station, and turns off a Wi-Fi function when there is no change, thereby reducing the number of times of wakening and scanning operations of a Wi-Fi module, reducing the power consumption of the mobile terminal, prolonging the duration of the battery of the mobile terminal. When there is a change, the method is used for scanning whether there is an accessible Wi-Fi network or not, thereby timely finding the accessible Wi-Fi network in a region, facilitating the timely data communication, and making the most of the convenience brought by the Wi-Fi.

Description

Technical field [0001] The embodiment of the present invention relates to the field of network connection technology, and in particular to a Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity, wireless fidelity) power saving method and a mobile terminal. Background technique [0002] In order to find accessible Wi-Fi networks at any time, users often always turn on the Wi-Fi module of the mobile terminal. When the mobile terminal reaches an area without Wi-Fi network signal coverage, the scanning of the Wi-Fi module is still in progress. The more intensive wake-up operation and scanning operation will undoubtedly greatly increase the power consumption of the mobile terminal and seriously affect its battery life . [0003] However, if the user turns off the Wi-Fi module when the Wi-Fi function is not used in order to save power, when the mobile terminal reaches an area covered by an accessible Wi-Fi network signal, the mobile terminal cannot access Wi-Fi in time. Fi network cannot take full advantage of th...

Problems solved by technology

When the mobile terminal arrives in an area without Wi-Fi network signal coverage, the scanning of the Wi-Fi module is still in progress. The relatively intensive wake-up operation and scanning operation will undoubtedly greatly increase the power consumption of the mobile terminal and seriously affect its battery life.

[0003] However, if the user turns off the Wi-Fi module when not using the Wi-Fi function in order to save power, when the mobile terminal reaches an area covered by an accessible Wi-Fi network signal, the mobile terminal cannot access the Wi-Fi network in time. Fi network, unable to take full advantage of the convenience brought by Wi-Fi
