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.
3. The method of claim 2, wherein the short-range communication icon is an emphasized icon or a de-emphasized icon, corresponding to the second connection status being �active� or �inactive�, respectively.
10. The device of claim 9, wherein the short-range communication icon is an emphasized icon or a de-emphasized icon, corresponding to the second connection status being �active� or �inactive,� respectively.
17. The medium of claim 16, wherein the short-range communication icon is an emphasized icon or a de-emphasized icon, corresponding to the second connection status being �active� or �inactive�, respectively.
21. The medium of claim 15, wherein the icon selected to be displayed in the signal strength field varies depending on whether the first connection status is �active� or �inactive�. Description
