Abstract

One embodiment provides a method, including: detecting, on an information handling device, a connection to another device; accessing, on the information handling device, a diagnostic application; executing, using the diagnostic application and through the connection, a diagnostic test of the another device; and outputting result data associated with the diagnostic test. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Claims (33)

1. A method, comprising:

detecting, on an information handling device, a connection to another device;

accessing, on the information handling device, a diagnostic application;

executing, using the diagnostic application and through the connection, a diagnostic test of the another device, wherein the diagnostic test is conducted without internet connection;

outputting result data associated with the diagnostic test, wherein the result data comprises an indication of at least one issue associated with the another device and a textual summary of each identified issue, and wherein each of the at least one issues is associated with a report code with a corresponding solution;

receiving a request from a user of the information handling device to establish a connection with a support operator; and

dynamically transmitting, subsequent to establishing the connection, the report code, the result data, and the corresponding solution to the support operator.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the connection is established using a USB cable.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information handling device is a mobile device and wherein the another device is a computer device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting comprises transmitting the result data to a help source using at least one of: a mobile connection and a wireless connection.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the executing comprises automatically executing the diagnostic test responsive to identifying that the connection is detected and that the diagnostic application is active.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the diagnostic application is downloaded to the information handling device from a cloud source.

7. An information handling device, comprising:

a processor;

a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor to:

detect a connection to another device;

access, on the information handling device, a diagnostic application;

execute, using the diagnostic application and through the connection, a diagnostic test of the another device, wherein the diagnostic test is conducted without internet connection;

output result data associated with the diagnostic test, wherein the result data comprises an indication of at least one issue associated with the another device and a textual summary of each identified issue, and wherein each of the at least one issues is associated with a report code with a corresponding solution;

receive a request from a user of the information handling device to establish a connection with a support operator; and

dynamically transmit, subsequent to establishing the connection, the report code, the result data, and the corresponding solution to the support operator.

8. The information handling device of claim 7 , wherein the connection is established using a USB cable.

9. The information handling device of claim 7 , wherein the information handling device is a mobile device and wherein the another device is a computer device.

10. The information handling device of claim 7 , wherein the instructions executable by the processor to transmit comprise instructions executable by the processor to transmit the result data to a help source using at least one of: a mobile connection and a wireless connection.

11. The information handling device of claim 7 , wherein the instructions executable by the processor to execute comprise instructions executable by the processor to automatically execute the diagnostic test responsive to identifying that the connection is detected and that the diagnostic application is active.

12. A product, comprising:

a storage device that stores code, the code being executable by a processor and comprising:

code that detect a connection to another device;

code that access a diagnostic application;

code that executes a diagnostic test of the another device, wherein the diagnostic test is conducted without internet connection;

code that outputs result data associated with the diagnostic test, wherein the result data comprises an indication of at least one issue associated with the another device and a textual summary of each identified issue, and wherein each of the at least one issues is associated with a report code with a corresponding solution;

code that receives a request from a user of the information handling device to establish a connection with a support operator; and

code that dynamically transmits, subsequent to establishing the connection, the report code, the result data, and the corresponding solution to the support operator.
