Abstract
Embodiments relate to a mobile device comprising: a processor; a display responsive to the processor; a plurality of wireless communication subsystems responsive to the processor; and a memory. The memory is accessible to the processor and stores program code executable by the processor for executing a user interface application. The user interface application is configured to determine a first connection status of the mobile device with respect to a cellular network and a second connection status with respect to a wireless local area network (WLAN). The user interface application, when executed by the processor, is further configured to cause the display to display a selected combination of icons in three display fields in a banner area of the display. The combination of icons is selected from a plurality of icon combinations based on the determined first connection status and the second connection status.
Claims (15)
1. A method of displaying wireless mode indicators on a mobile device capable of communicating through a cellular network and a wireless local area network (WLAN), the method comprising:
determining a first connection status of the mobile device with respect to the cellular network and a second connection status with respect to the WLAN; and displaying a selected combination of icons in three display fields in a banner area of a display of the mobile device, the combination of icons being selected from a plurality of icon combinations based on the determined first connection status and second connection status.
determining a first connection status of the mobile device with respect to the cellular network and a second connection status with respect to the WLAN; and displaying a selected combination of icons in three display fields in a banner area of a display of the mobile device, the combination of icons being selected from a plurality of icon combinations based on the determined first connection status and second connection status.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the three display fields comprise a signal strength field for displaying a signal strength icon, a network technology field for displaying a network technology icon and a WLAN field for displaying a WLAN icon.
3. The method of claim 2, wherein the icons selected to be displayed in the signal strength field and the network technology field vary depending on the icon selected to be displayed in the WLAN field.
4. The method of claim 2 or claim 3, wherein the icon selected to be displayed in the signal strength field varies depending on the icon selected to be displayed in the network technology field.
5. The method of any one of claims 2 to 4, wherein the WLAN icon is an emphasized icon or a de-emphasized icon, corresponding to the second connection status being "active" or "inactive", respectively.
6. The method of any one of claims 2 to 5, wherein the network technology field is present or absent, depending on whether the first connection status is "active" or "inactive".
7. The method of any one of claims 1 to 6, wherein the three display fields are located together in a banner area.
8. A mobile device comprising:
a processor;
a display responsive to the processor;
a plurality of wireless communication subsystems responsive to the processor; and a memory accessible to the processor and storing program code executable by the processor for executing a user interface application, wherein the user interface application is configured to determine a first connection status of the mobile device with respect to a cellular network and a second connection status with respect to a wireless local area network (WLAN);
wherein the user interface application, when executed by the processor, is further configured to cause the display to display a selected combination of icons in three display fields in a banner area of the display, the combination of icons being selected from a plurality of icon combinations based on the determined first connection status and the second connection status.
a processor;
a display responsive to the processor;
a plurality of wireless communication subsystems responsive to the processor; and a memory accessible to the processor and storing program code executable by the processor for executing a user interface application, wherein the user interface application is configured to determine a first connection status of the mobile device with respect to a cellular network and a second connection status with respect to a wireless local area network (WLAN);
wherein the user interface application, when executed by the processor, is further configured to cause the display to display a selected combination of icons in three display fields in a banner area of the display, the combination of icons being selected from a plurality of icon combinations based on the determined first connection status and the second connection status.
9. The device of claim 8, wherein the three display fields comprise a signal strength field for displaying a signal strength icon, a network technology field for displaying a network technology icon and a WLAN field for displaying a WLAN icon.
10. The device of claim 9, wherein the icons selected to be displayed in the signal strength field and the network technology field vary depending on the icon selected to be displayed in the WLAN field.
11. The device of claim 9 or claim 10, wherein the icon selected to be displayed in the signal strength field varies depending on the icon selected to be displayed in the network technology field.
12. The device of any one of claims 9 to 11, wherein the network technology field is present or absent, depending on whether the first connection status is "active" or "inactive".
13. The device of any one of claims 9 to 12, wherein the WLAN icon is an emphasized icon or a de-emphasized icon, corresponding to the second connection status being "active" or "inactive," respectively.
14. The device of any one of claims 8 to 13, wherein the three display fields are located together in a banner area.
15. Computer readable storage storing program instructions which, when executed by a processor of a mobile device, cause the processor to perform a method comprising the steps of:
determining a first connection status of the mobile device with respect to the cellular network and a second connection status with respect to the WLAN; and displaying a selected combination of icons in three display fields in a banner area of a display of the mobile device, the combination of icons being selected from a plurality of icon combinations based on the determined first connection status and second connection status.
determining a first connection status of the mobile device with respect to the cellular network and a second connection status with respect to the WLAN; and displaying a selected combination of icons in three display fields in a banner area of a display of the mobile device, the combination of icons being selected from a plurality of icon combinations based on the determined first connection status and second connection status.
