Abstract

A method and a user interface apparatus for managing functions of wireless communication components are provided. The present method displays a plurality of status bars respectively representing the wireless communication components on a screen of a communication device and arranges the status bars to form a management interface, wherein each of the status bars corresponds to a status switching region and displays a plurality of function icons of usable functions of the corresponding wireless communication component. Then, the communication device detects a selection operation from a user. When the selection operation is selecting the status switching region, an activation status of the wireless communication component corresponding to the selected status switching region is switched. When the selection operation is selecting the function icon, a function corresponding to the selected function icon is executed. Accordingly, the present invention provides a convenient way for the user to manage the wireless communication components.
