  • Publication number: 20160044520
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for testing mobile applications. A set of mobile devices, a set of applications associated with the mobile devices, and a set of test cases each associated with at least one of the applications are registered at a server. A set of test stations for executing the set of test cases are also registered at the server. Execution of one or more of the test cases on one or more mobile devices at one or more of the test stations is scheduled based on a user request received from at least one client device. Timing of the scheduled test cases is analyzed to determine occurrence of the scheduling time. The scheduled test cases are automatically executed on the test stations with ability to capture necessary logs and screenshot. The execution results are sent to the client device for display to the user for evaluation.

  • Patent number: 9230377
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing mobile device security are disclosed. In some implementations, a request for access to a security mechanism is received at a user terminal. A short-range radio connection of the user terminal at a time of receiving the request for access is identified responsive to the request. A memory of the user terminal is accessed to determine whether the identified short-range radio connection corresponds to a user-identified secure radio connection. Upon determining that the radio connection corresponds to the user-identified secure radio connection, the user is granted access to the security mechanism without soliciting the user of the user terminal for a predetermined security input. Upon determining that the radio connection does not correspond to the user-identified secure radio connection, the user is solicited for the predetermined security input.

  • Patent number: 9008632
    Abstract: A mobile station provides an Interactive Multimedia Response to a user's call. The mobile station detects when a user dials a predetermined telephone number. In response, at least one visual object representing available services is displayed. In response to a user's input, at least one visual object representing a service selected by the user may be displayed. In a Call Intercept Mode, the mobile station detects a telephone number entered by the user to initiate an outgoing call to a destination that provides account-specific data. The mobile station then conducts a data communication with a self service server of the communication service provider to obtain the account-specific data corresponding to the detected telephone number. Upon receiving the account-specific data, at least one visual object including the requested account-specific data is displayed on the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 8798580
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for setting a wireless terminal for a service are disclosed. The wireless terminal automatically sends identification information to a server by dialing a predetermined number. Upon receiving the identification information, the server finds customer information corresponding to the identification information, and determines one or more services which are available on the wireless terminal. The server sends service information indicating the available services. The wireless terminal displays a list of the available services, and upon detecting a selection of an available service, sends a request to transfer an application program for setting up the selected service to the server. The wireless terminal executes the downloaded application program and displays guidance for setting up the available service. In response to user inputs based on the displayed guidance, the selected service is activated and set-up in the wireless terminal.
