Abstract:
1. A wireless device, comprising: a communications processing engine having a plurality of diagnostic data relating to the operation of the wireless device on a wireless network in a first communication protocol; a computer platform having a universal diagnostic monitor module operable to retrieve selected ones of the plurality of diagnostic data from said communications processing engine, and operable to control generation of a view of the selected ones of the plurality of diagnostic data, wherein said universal diagnostic monitor module is further operable in a plurality of diagnostic modes each corresponding to one of a plurality of communication protocols used by wireless devices to communicate on wireless networks, wherein the plurality of communication protocols includes the first communication protocol, wherein each of the plurality of diagnostic modes comprises a protocol-specific diagnostic menu, wherein said universal diagnostic monitor module is further operable to be selectively enabled in a selected one of the plurality of diagnostic modes corresponding to the first communication protocol; a user interface operable to present said view; wherein said universal diagnostic monitor module comprises a user interface configurator executable by the computer platform, said user interface configurator being operable to receive user inputs representative of at least one of the selected ones of the plurality of diagnostic data and said view, said user interface configurator being further operable, based on the user inputs, to control the retrieval of the selected ones of the plurality of diagnostic data and the generation of said view; and wherein the user interface configurator is executable by the computer platform independently of a protocol on which the wireless device and the wireless network operate.
