Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for managing access to a wireless data network in a wireless communication terminal. In a wireless communication terminal embodying the invention, wireless signal from at least one of access points of a wireless data network is firstly detected and the strength of the signal is saved. Then, signal strength is secondly detected from the at least one of access points and differences between the firstly-detected signal strengths and the secondly-detected ones are calculated for each of the at least one of access points. Based on whether or not the differences fall within a predetermined range, it is determined whether a wireless communication terminal is in motion or not. If the terminal is in motion, accessing to a wireless data network is prohibited or a sign indicating that access to a wireless data network is impossible is displayed even though access points accessible are found. If the terminal is determined to be in abeyance, access to a wireless data network is attempted or a sign indicating that access is possible is displayed.
