Abstract

A method for checking a wireless communication device includes detecting whether the configuration of the wireless communication device conforms to a predetermined rule when a status of the wireless communication device conforms to a predetermined status, and executing a corresponding procedure when the configuration of the wireless communication device does not conform to the predetermined rule.

Claims

1. A method for checking a wireless communication device, the method comprising:

detecting whether a configuration of the wireless communication device conforms to a predetermined rule when a status of the wireless communication device conforms to a predetermined status; and

executing a corresponding procedure when the configuration of the wireless communication device does not conform to the predetermined rule.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein detecting whether the configuration of the wireless communication device conforms to the predetermined rule comprises detecting whether a plurality of segments of the wireless communication device conforms to a corresponding arithmetic rule.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein the arithmetic rule comprises a HASH algorithm.

4. The method of claim 3 wherein the arithmetic rule comprises a message-digest algorithm 4 (MD4) and a message-digest algorithm 5 (MD5).

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the predetermined status comprises the wireless communication device booting up, the wireless communication device switching to a suspended state, or the wireless communication device executing a periodic examination.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein executing a corresponding procedure comprises sending a warning signal, the wireless communication device automatically connecting to a server for updating programs, or the wireless communication device wirelessly transmitting a signal to request another wireless communication device to transmit programs and data.

7. A wireless communication device comprising:

a flash memory for storing data; and

a logic device for detecting whether a configuration of the wireless communication device conforms to a predetermined rule when a status of the wireless communication device conforms to a predetermined status and for executing a corresponding procedure when the configuration of the wireless communication device does not conform to the predetermined rule.

8. The wireless communication device of claim 7 further comprising a display panel for displaying data.

9. The wireless communication device of claim 7 further comprising a wireless communication module for connecting to a server.

10. The wireless communication device of claim 7 further comprising a speaker for generating audio signals.

11. The wireless communication device of claim 7 being a cellular phone or a personal digital assistant (PDA).
