Abstract

A wireless communication device has a wireless transceiver module, a calculation module and a display module. The wireless transceiver module transmits and receives wireless data. The calculation module retrieves and processes the wireless data for generating display instructions. The display module shows communication status of the wireless communication device according to the display instructions. With information regarding the communication status, users are able to know the instant status of the wireless communication device.

Claims

1. An wireless communication device with status display comprising:

a housing;

at least one wireless transceiver module installed in the housing for receiving and transmitting a plurality of data;

a calculation module coupled to the wireless transceiver for intercepting the plurality of data and generating a display instruction; and

a display module coupled to the calculation module for displaying at least one communication status of the wireless communication device according to the display instruction.

2. The wireless communication device of claim 1, wherein the calculation module intercepts an amount of the plurality of data for calculating an instant flow, and generates the display instruction to drive a display module showing a instant flow status of the wireless communication device.

3. The wireless communication device of claim 2, wherein the instant flow ratio is a ratio status showing the instant flow corresponding to a transmission bandwidth, wherein the transmission bandwidth follows a wireless communication protocol.

4. The wireless communication device of claim 1, wherein the display module has at least one electronic optical component showing the communication status.

5. The wireless communication device of claim 1, wherein the calculation module intercepts a signal quality indicator of the plurality of data for generating the display instruction and drives the display module to show a signal quality status of the wireless communication device.

6. The wireless communication device of claim 1, wherein the calculation device determines whether the wireless communication device enters a sleep mode according to a flow amount of the plurality of data in a predetermined interval and generates the display instruction to drive the display module showing a sleep status of the wireless communication device.

7. The wireless communication device of claim 1, wherein the calculation module is a firmware, and the firmware retrieves regularly the plurality of data from the wireless transceiver module via a program interface.

8. The wireless communication device of claim 1, further comprising:

a network interface, coupled to a wire network; and

a processing module coupled to the network interface for providing data transmission between the wire network and the wireless transceiver module.
