Abstract

An apparatus and method for simultaneously testing a plurality of mobile devices is disclosed. The method for simultaneously testing a plurality of mobile devices generally includes simultaneously executing a test mobile device application on the plurality of mobile devices, determining test mobile device application results for the plurality of mobile devices at a plurality of test computers, sending a test mobile device application results from the plurality of mobile devices to the plurality of test computers, and deleting the test mobile device application on the plurality of mobile devices.

Claims (24)

1. A method for simultaneously testing a plurality of mobile devices, comprising:

simultaneously executing a test mobile device application on the plurality of mobile devices;

performing a pixel detection analysis of a screen of a mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices by detecting changes in pixel RGB values of the screen using a two camera system;

determining test mobile device application results for the plurality of mobile devices at a plurality of test computers;

sending a test mobile device application results from the plurality of mobile devices to the plurality of test computers; and

deleting the test mobile device application on the plurality of mobile devices.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a test computer of a plurality of test computers transmit the test mobile device application data to one of the plurality of mobile devices.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a mobile device of a plurality of mobile devices execute the test mobile device application.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the test computer receives the test mobile device application results.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the test computer sends data and the test mobile device application results to a control cabinet computer and monitor.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the test computer sends output results of the test mobile device application results to the user computer.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the test computer deletes the displaying the test mobile device application results through a user computer.

8. The method according to claim 1 wherein the pixel detection analysis includes a two camera system.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the two camera system includes a first camera is positioned to capture a first image of a top portion of a display of one of the plurality of mobile devices and a second camera positioned to capture a second image of a bottom portion of the display.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the first camera is positioned side by side with the second camera.

11. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the first image and the second image are analyzed for changes in an intensity of light across the display.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the changes are compared against a set of parameters that will determine if a RGB value falls under damaged pixel criterion or a good pixel criterion.

13. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the RGB value vary from 0-255.

14. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the RGB value of a questionable pixel will be greater than 30.

15. The method according to claim 14 , further comprising a criteria check step that compares the questionable pixel against 8 surrounding pixels.

16. The method according to claim 15 , wherein the questionable pixel is categorized as a drastic change pixel when more than 4 of the surrounding pixels show a significant variance from the questionable pixel.

17. The method according to claim 16 , wherein a failure is identified when more than drastic pixel changes are identified in a 15×15 pixel range.

18. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising the steps of:

performing a scratch detection analysis of high quality images of a mobile device screen from one of the plurality of mobile devices.
