METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE STATUS OF A WIRELESS NETWORK COMMUNICATION DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method for determining a working status of a wireless network communication device, comprising:
- detecting a requesting signal or an environment searching signal transmitted from a terminal instrument;
determining if extending an interval of signal transmission or not, according to the result of detection;
entering into a delay mode, if said network communication device fails to receive said requesting signal or said environment searching signal transmitted from said terminal instrument in the first predetermined interval; and
determining said wireless network communication device should be awaken or enter into an idle mode, according to whether detecting said requesting signal or said environment searching signal transmitted from terminal instrument in the second predetermined interval.

Abstract
The present invention discloses a method for determining the working status of a wireless network communication device. The method includes determining the probe request or broadcast packet or any wireless packet with its destination address equal to this AP address, and then determining whether extending the time interval of signal transmission based on the detection result. Next, when the device does not receive the probe requests or broadcast packet or any wireless packet with its destination address equal to this AP address within the first predetermined interval, the wireless network communication device will switch to the idle mode. Further, the step of the present invention includes determining whether awakening or shutdown the wireless network communication device based on the result of the detection of the probe request or broadcast packet or any wireless packet with its destination address equal to this AP address within the second predetermined interval.
