METHOD AND USER INTERFACE APPARATUS FOR MANAGING FUNCTIONS OF WIRELESS COMMUNICATION COMPONENTS
First Claim
1. A method for managing functions of wireless communication components, adapted to manage at least one function of a plurality of the wireless communication components in a communication device, the method comprising:
- respectively displaying a status bar representing each of the wireless communication components, and arranging the status bars to form a management interface, wherein each of the status bars corresponds to a status switching region and comprises a plurality of function icons of the functions of the corresponding wireless communication component;
detecting a selection operation performed by a user;
when the selection operation is selecting one of the status switching regions,switching an activation status of the wireless communication component corresponding to the selected status switching region;
searching for the functions of the activated wireless communication components according to the activation status of each of the wireless communication components;
re-determining the wireless communication component that each of the searched functions corresponds to according to a priority order of the activated wireless communication components; and
displaying the function icons of the functions in the status bar of the corresponding wireless communication component; and
when the selection operation is selecting one of the function icons, executing the function corresponding to the selected function icon.

Abstract
A method and a user interface apparatus for managing functions of wireless communication components are provided. The present method displays a plurality of status bars respectively representing the wireless communication components on a screen of a communication device and arranges the status bars to form a management interface, wherein each of the status bars corresponds to a status switching region and displays a plurality of function icons of usable functions of the corresponding wireless communication component. Then, the communication device detects a selection operation from a user. When the selection operation is selecting the status switching region, an activation status of the wireless communication component corresponding to the selected status switching region is switched. When the selection operation is selecting the function icon, a function corresponding to the selected function icon is executed. Accordingly, the present invention provides a convenient way for the user to manage the wireless communication components.

13. A user interface apparatus for managing functions of wireless communication components, adapted to a communication device comprising a plurality of wireless communication components, comprising:
-
an input unit, for allowing a user to input a selection operation; a status bar module, for respectively displaying a status bar representing each of the wireless communication components, and arranging the status bars to form a management interface; a status switching module, for corresponding to a status switching region of each of the wireless communication components and, when the selection operation is selecting one of the status switching regions, switching an activation status of the wireless communication component corresponding to the selected status switching region; and a function executing module, for displaying a function icon of at least one function of each of the wireless communication components in the corresponding status bar and, when the selection operation is selecting one of the function icons, executing the function corresponding to the selected function icon, wherein when the status switching module switches the activation status of the wireless communication component corresponding to the selected status switching region, the function executing module searches for the functions of the activated wireless communication component according to the activation status of each of the wireless communication components, determines the wireless communication component that each of the searched functions corresponds to according to a priority order of the activated wireless communication components, and displays the function icons of the functions in the status bar of the corresponding wireless communication component. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
