  • Patent number: 7206548
    Abstract: A method and system for remote testing of a wireless communication device (WCD). The WCD is communicatively linked in a test environment with a host computer that communicates over a packet-switched network with a remote computer operated by a testing technician. The remote computer sends control commands to the host computer via the packet-switched network, and the host computer sends corresponding commands to the WCD to cause the WCD to take one or more actions. In a preferred embodiment, the WCD returns to the host computer a digital representation of the screen image currently being shown on a display screen of the WCD, and the host computer passes the digital representation via the packet-switched network to the remote computer for presentation to the technician. The technician can thereby view the display screen of the WCD as tests are performed. Audio and test-equipment coupling may also be provided.
