Abstract: A framework and associated systems and methods for testing mobile communication devices are disclosed. An exemplary method includes receiving user-action data from each of a plurality of user-action-capture devices. The user-action data received from the user-action-capture devices includes data that characterizes a plurality of user actions that were performed on the user-action-capture devices. The user-action data is consolidated into generic representations of the user actions to create a superset of generally-applicable-user-action data, and each generic representation of a user action in the superset represents two or more similar user actions. The generally-applicable-user-action data is then used to test mobile communication devices that are different than the user-action-capture devices.

Abstract: Methods and mobile devices for performing operations responsive to user actions are disclosed. The method includes prompting a user of a mobile device to make a particular action that is detectable by the mobile device, and prompting the user to select a particular operation that the user desires to have effectuated when the particular action is subsequently carried out. In addition, an indicator of the particular action is stored on the mobile device in connection with an indicator of the particular operation to associate the particular action with the particular operation. And after registration, when the particular action is sensed with the mobile device, the particular operation is effectuated.

Abstract: A wireless smart shopping framework is disclosed. An operator of a retail premises provides displays of products in a product display portion of a retail premises to enable shoppers to view features of the products, but the products are stored in an inventory portion of the retail premises that is separate from the product display portion of the retail premises. Shoppers browse the product display portion of the retail premises and scan product identifying information (e.g., by taking pictures of the displayed products). The operator receives, via a wireless receiver, the product-identifying information for selected products from the wireless mobile communication device, and gathers the selected products from the inventory portion. When the shopper is done shopping, the selected products are moved to a checkout location and payment is received for the selected products.
