Abstract

Implementations of the disclosure provide for to remotely testing operational components of a mobile device. In one implementation, a method is provided. The method includes providing, by a server processing device, instructions to a mobile device for a user to interact with a component of the mobile device. Data associated with an operation of the component in view of the instructions is received. The received data is compared to a model input characterizing a functional level associated with the operation of the component. Thereupon, it is determined whether there is a depleted operation of the component in view of the comparison.

Claims (32)

1. A system comprising:

a memory to store operating parameters; and

a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory, to:

provide instructions to operate a first component of a mobile device according a set of operating parameters;

measure input produced by a second component of the mobile device based on the operation of the first component;

compare the measured input with a model input charactering functional operation of the first and second components; and

determine whether there is a depleted operation of the first or second components in view of the comparison, where to determine, the processing device to:

provide a multimedia file in accordance with the set of operating parameters, the multimedia file being recorded at a determined frequency and amplitude level;

execute the multimedia file with the first component; and

determine whether the measured input produced by the second component corresponds with the determined frequency and amplitude level.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processing device is further to, responsive to determining that the component is operational in accordance with a vendor specific, generate a diagnostic message regarding the mobile device to send to a carrier processing device to provision products for the mobile device.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processing device is further to generate an error metric based on a difference between the measured input and the model input.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the processing device is further to determine whether the error metric meets a threshold level for the component.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the processing device is further to store results of the determination with a unique identifier associated with the mobile device.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the processing device is further to:

determine that the component is operational; and

transmit the results of the determination to a display indicating that products are available for the mobile device.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:

provide, by the processing device, instructions to operate a first component of a mobile device according a set of operating parameters;

measure input produced by a second component of the mobile device based on the operation of the first component;

compare the measured input with a model input characterizing a functional operation of the first and second components; and

determine whether there is a depleted operation of the first or second components in view of the comparison, where to determine, the processing device to:

provide a multimedia file in accordance with the set of operating parameters, the multimedia file being recorded at a determined frequency and amplitude level;

execute the multimedia file with the first component; and

determine whether the measured input produced by the second component corresponds with the determined frequency and amplitude level.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the processing device is further to, responsive to determining that the component is operational in accordance with a vendor specific, generate a diagnostic message regarding the mobile device to send to a carrier processing device to provision products for the mobile device.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the processing device is further to generate an error metric based on a difference between the received input and the model input.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein the processing device is further to determine whether the error metric meets a threshold level for the component.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the processing device is further to store results of the determination with a unique identifier associated with the mobile device.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , wherein the processing device is further to:

determine that the component is operational; and

providing the results of the determination at a display indicating that products are available for the mobile device.
