Abstract

Provided is a wireless communication device that receives at least one communication packet containing data rate information, including: a storage unit that receives the at least one communication packet and stores, in a memory unit, the data rate information contained in the at least one communication packet; a display data generation unit that generates display data rate information to be used for display, based on the data rate information stored in the memory unit; and a display unit that displays the display data rate information generated by the display data generation unit.

Claims (31)

1 . A wireless communication device that receives at least one communication packet containing data rate information, comprising:

storage unit that receives the at least one communication packet and stores, in a memory unit, the data rate information contained in the at least one communication packet;

display data generation unit that generates display data rate information to be used for display, based on the data rate information stored in the memory unit; and

display unit that displays the display data rate information generated by the display data generation unit.

2 . The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the at least one communication packet comprises a plurality of communication packets; and

the display data generation unit generates the display data rate information based on the data rate information regarding the plurality of communication packets stored in the memory unit.

3 . The wireless communication device according to claim 2 , wherein the display data generation unit generates the display data rate information by referring to the memory unit and selecting data rate information indicating the largest number of communications.

4 . The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the storage unit stores, in the memory unit, data rate information contained in at least one communication packet that has been successfully transmitted or received in a data communication.

5 . The wireless communication device according to claim 4 , wherein, in a case where a plurality of communication packets has been successfully transmitted or received in the data communication, the storage unit adds the number of the plurality of communication packets to the number of communications of the data rate information corresponding to the plurality of communication packets.

6 . The wireless communication device according to claim 4 , wherein the storage unit further stores, in the memory unit, data rate information contained in at least one communication packet that has been unsuccessfully transmitted or received in the data communication.

7 . The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the storage unit receives the at least one communication packet, and stores, in the memory unit, the data rate information contained in the at least one communication packet when a data buffer that temporarily stores data to be transferred is updated.

8 . The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein, when the received communication packet contains data to be transferred, the storage unit stores, in the memory unit, the data rate information contained in the communication packet.

9 . The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein, when the received communication packet includes a data transmission request, the storage unit transmits data in response to the data transmission request and then stores, in the memory unit, the data rate information contained in the communication packet.

10 . The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the data communication is performed based on certified wireless universal serial bus (USB).

11 . A method of displaying a wireless communication state of a wireless communication device that receives at least one communication packet containing data rate information, the method comprising:

receiving the at least one communication packet;

storing, in a memory unit, the data rate information contained in the at least one communication packet;

generating display data rate information to be used for display, based on the data rate information stored in the memory unit; and

displaying the display data rate information generated in the generating.

12 . The method of displaying a wireless communication state according to claim 11 , wherein:

the at least one communication packet comprises a plurality of communication packets; and

generating the display data rate information based on the data rate information regarding the plurality of communication packets stored in the memory unit.

13 . The method of displaying a wireless communication state according to claim 12 , wherein generating the display data rate information by referring to the memory unit and selecting data rate information indicating the largest number of communications.

14 . The method of displaying a wireless communication state according to claim 11 , wherein storing, in the memory unit, data rate information contained in at least one communication packet that has been successfully transmitted or received in a data communication.

15 . The method of displaying a wireless communication state according to claim 14 , wherein, in a case where a plurality of communication packets has been successfully transmitted or received in the data communication, adding the number of the plurality of communication packets to the number of communications of the data rate information corresponding to the plurality of communication packets, and storing an addition result in the storage unit.

16 . The method of displaying a wireless communication state according to claim 14 , wherein further storing, in the memory unit, data rate information contained in at least one communication packet that has been unsuccessfully transmitted or received in the data communication.

17 . The method of displaying a wireless communication state according to claim 11 , wherein receiving the at least one communication packet and storing, in the memory unit, the data rate information contained in the at least one communication packet when a data buffer that temporarily stores data to be transferred is updated.

18 . The method of displaying a wireless communication state according to claim 11 , wherein, when the received communication packet contains data to be transferred, storing, in the memory unit, the data rate information contained in the communication packet.

19 . The method of displaying a wireless communication state according to claim 11 , wherein, when the received communication packet includes a data transmission request, transmitting data in response to the data transmission request before storing, in the memory unit, the data rate information contained in the communication packet.

20 . The method of displaying a wireless communication state according to claim 11 , wherein the data communication is performed based on certified wireless universal serial bus (USB).
