<p>Disclosed is a method for converting automatically an operation mode of multimode satellite terminal into a satellite communication service mode or a local network communication service mode according to a present location of the terminal. The method includes the steps of searching a satellite when the power of the terminal is turned on, recognizing a present location by a signal received from the satellite, determining whether the recognized present location is located within a service area of the local network communication, and operating in a local network communication mode if the recognized present location is located within the service area of the local network. Accordingly, the method of the present invention can convert automatically an operation mode of the terminal into the local network or the satellite communication mode in the shortest time by recognizing a present service area. <IMAGE></p> |
