Abstract
A wireless communicating electronic device including a wireless network part supporting the wireless communication; an on/off selector selecting an on/off state to activate/deactivate the wireless network part; an on/off display displaying the selected state of the wireless network part; and a controller activating/deactivating the wireless network part corresponding to a selecting result of the on/off selector, and displaying the selected state of the wireless network part on the on/off display.
Claims11
A wireless communicating electronic device comprising:
- a wireless network part supporting wireless communication;
- an on/off selector selecting an on/off state of the wireless network part and outputting an on/off signal corresponding to the selected state;
- an on/off display displaying the selected state of the wireless network part;
- and
- a controller activating/deactivating the wireless network part corresponding to the on/off signal output from the on/off selector, and displaying the selected state of the wireless network part on the on/off display,
- wherein the controller comprises:
- a module controller capable of directly inputting the on/off signal and controlling a state of the wireless network part;
- and
- a network driver which senses the on/off signal and controls the module controller on the basis of the sensed on/off signal.

A method comprising:
- supporting wireless communication using a wireless network part:
- inputting directly a signal for turning off the wireless network part and controlling a state of the wireless network part on the basis of the signal, using a module controller;
- sensing the signal and controlling the module controller on the basis of the sensed signal using a network driver;
- inputting the signal selectively to the module controller or the network driver to turn off the wireless network part;
- inputting a request for the wireless communication through the wireless network part when the wireless network part is turned off;
- and
- displaying an off state of the wireless network part.
