1. An apparatus, comprising:
- central processing unit (CPU) configured to;
generate an image that shows a communication path between a transmitting device and a receiving device in a wireless communication network;
control a display screen to display the generated image;
detect a user input via the display screen;
control the display screen to display status information on the displayed generated image based on the user input;
select a first type of statuses from the status information;
change the communication path between the transmitting device and the receiving device based on the selected first type of statuses,wherein the communication path graphically shows that the communication path is configured as a relay link, andwherein the relay link indicates that the receiving device relays data received from the transmitting device; and
update contents of a path table based on the changed communication path,wherein the path table includes address of the receiving device, a next hop device, and a number of hop counts to the receiving device.

Abstract
A display generating device includes a display screen generator generating a display screen showing connection status between each wireless communication device in a wireless network in which a plurality of the wireless communication devices operate in an autonomous and distributed manner, and a detector detecting an operation of changing connection status performed by a user via the display screen generated by the display screen generator, wherein, when the operation of changing connection status is detected by the detector, the display generating device performs a change process of reflecting the content of the operation of changing connection status.
