an on/off selector selecting an on/off state of the wireless network part and outputting a first on/off signal corresponding to the selected state;
a first on/off display displaying the selected state of the wireless network part,
wherein the wireless network part is activated/deactivated corresponding to the on/off signal output from the on/off selector, and the selected state of the wireless network part is displayed on the on/off display,
a module controller capable of directly inputting the first on/off signal output from the on/off selector and controlling the on/off state of the wireless network part based on the first on/off signal; and
a network driver which senses the first on/off signal and displays the on/off state of the wireless network part on the basis of the sensed first on/off signal.
13. The device according to claim 12, wherein the network driver includes a user interface to receive a user input corresponding to a second on/off signal to select the on/off state of the wireless network part.
a microcomputer generating an on/off signal corresponding to the key signal and inputting the on/off signal to the module controller.
20. The device according to claim 18, wherein the microcomputer inputs the on/off signal selectively to the module controller or the network driver.
inputting directly an on/off signal for selecting an on/off state of the wireless network part and controlling the on/off state of the wireless network part on the basis of the signal, using a module controller;
sensing the on/off signal and displaying the on/off state of the wireless network part on the basis of the sensed signal using a network driver;
inputting the on/off signal to the module controller or the network driver to turn off the wireless network part:
displaying an off state of the wireless network part when the request for the wireless communication is received while the wireless network part is turned off.
selecting the off state of the wireless network part, using an on/off selector, the inputting the on/off signal comprising:

This application claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 2004-37627, filed on May 27, 2004, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.This application is a broadening reissue application of U.S. Pat. No. 7,453,836 which claims U.S. application Ser. No. 11/133,337, filed with the U.S. Patent Trademark Office on May 20, 2005 and earlier priority benefit to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2004-0037627 filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on May 27, 2004, the disclosure of which are herein by reference.
The controller 20 turns on/off the wireless network part 10 according to the on/off signal from the on/off selector 30. Herein, the on/off signal transmitted from the on/off selector 30 may be directly inputted via a pin 22a (hereinafter, referred to as an “on/off pin”) of the module controller 22. Meanwhile, the network driver may detect the on/off signal, and controls the module controller 22 to turn on/off the wireless network part 10. Further, the controller 20 may include both the on/off selector 30 and the module controller 22 to turn on/off the wireless network part 10.
