The method for managing a wireless connection unit by mode switching according to the first aspect of the patent application, further comprising: receiving, by the wireless network, a mesh network including at least one node to receive location data corresponding to the at least one specific electronic device. When the specific node of the mesh network receives the identification data corresponding to the at least one specific electronic device, determining that the location data corresponding to the at least one specific electronic device corresponds to a specific location of the specific node. The method for managing the operation of the wireless connection unit by the mode switching according to the seventh aspect of the patent application includes the following steps: determining whether the signal strength of one of the at least one specific electronic device is greater than a predetermined value; and when corresponding to the at least one When the signal strength of the specific electronic device is not greater than the predetermined value, the location data of the at least one specific electronic device is displayed. The method for managing a wireless connection unit by mode switching according to item 2 of the scope of the patent application further includes the following steps: the electronic device in the group and each of the candidate electronic devices respectively perform a specific job; and corresponding For the specific operation, the identification data corresponding to the electronic device and the identification data of each of the candidate electronic devices are exchanged. An operation management system for a wireless connection unit by mode switching is applicable to an electronic device, comprising: a wireless connection unit having a first mode and a second mode, wherein the wireless connection unit is in the first mode Broadcasting data corresponding to the electronic device, in the second mode, the wireless connection unit searches for and receives data from other electronic devices, and the first mode is different from the second mode; and a controller is configured to utilize the wireless device The connecting unit broadcasts the identification data of the corresponding electronic device through a wireless network in the first mode, and after the identification data of the corresponding electronic device is broadcasted, the wireless connection unit is switched from the first mode to the first mode. The second mode and utilize the no The line connecting unit receives the identification data of the corresponding at least one specific electronic device through the wireless network in the second mode. A computer program product for loading and executing a job management method for a wireless connection unit by mode switching, wherein the method is applicable to an electronic device, the computer program product comprising: a first code, Transmitting, by a wireless connection unit, a certain identification data of the electronic device through a wireless network in a first mode, wherein the wireless connection unit has the first mode and a second mode, in the first mode The wireless connection unit broadcasts data corresponding to the electronic device, in the second mode, the wireless connection unit searches for and receives data from other electronic devices, and the first mode is different from the second mode; a code for switching the wireless connection unit from the first mode to the second mode after the identification data of the corresponding electronic device is broadcasted, and transmitting the wireless in the second mode by using the wireless connection unit The network receives the identification data of the corresponding at least one specific electronic device.
