Abstract:
1. A method for setting a ping interval in a portable terminal, the method comprising: transmitting a ping message to a server after a predefined time period corresponding to a set ping interval and determining whether a response message is received from the server, so as to determine whether a ping test succeeds; determining whether a short interval count value of the set ping interval is 0 by referring to a count table when the ping test is determined to be successful and resetting the ping interval; and determining whether the short interval count value of the set ping interval is 0 by referring to the count table when the ping test fails and resetting the ping intervals, wherein the count table is formed of ping interval values corresponding to top interval count values and short interval count values, and wherein a unit value of the ping interval values corresponding to the top interval count values is greater than a unit value of the ping interval values corresponding to the short interval count values.
