Abstract: Cloud-based management of cell-based test systems is described. For example, at a server that is communicatively coupled to a cell-based test system via a network (that is, in the cloud), a test case from a test case library is selected and accessed. The test case is selected according to the type of user equipment to be tested at the cell-based test system. The test case is sent from the server over the network to the cell-based test system. The cell-based test system can automatically perform the test case on the user equipment. Results from performing the test case on the user equipment are then stored on the cloud; that is, the test results are received at the server from the cell-based test system over the network and stored at the server. A report based on the test results can be prepared and stored on the server (in the cloud).

Abstract: The instant invention is a program applet that can be loaded onto mobile devices and directly interfaces with the operating system and automated test scripts. The program applet is capable of initiating the required transfer and will provide information regarding the progress of the transfer such that a test client can properly calculate the data throughput rates. The result is a minimization of time-to-market for test and measurement tools using software architecture that simplify and speed-up development and maintenance of test and measurement tools by removing awareness of complexity of external hardware dependencies from the actual test and measurement software code, and placing dependencies management to carefully defined components that could be reused and shared between multiple test and measurement software tools and systems at once.

Abstract: A system and method for providing mobile lottery gaming over a wireless mobile device/handset. The system and method permit a user of a mobile wireless device to play a lottery game electronically. The system will be designed such that various client services (banking, wallet, and gaming) can employ the existing infrastructure to perform its functions without compromising on essential features such as ease of use and security. Once a user is registered onto the system they can utilize an identification code to authorize the downloading of lottery games from a server to their mobile device. A financial account enables the user to electronically pay for the lottery games. Notification of the results of the lottery games can be made by e-mail, SMS or an IVR call.

Abstract: A system for enabling control and managing the assets by synchronizing information between a host system server and a mobile client device is disclosed. Control of the mobile client devices from remote locations enables an administrator to provide specific profiles for the mobile devices. These profiles are consistent and ensure that the user can perform all of the required tasks. The system also includes a multi-level security mechanism. The security provision maintains control of the hardware (mobile device) and the information stored thereon. The administrator also controls the distribution of applications and services to the mobile device, including restoring information which may have become lost.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process to control any mobile device through a protocol stack for sending Ad Alerts and performing Virtual Mobile Management. The client application captures a snapshot that is encrypted and compressed into an XML format using delta compression algorithms. On the server, the xml file is then parsed, decrypted and decompressed and the corresponding values are stored in the database. Ad management/alert notification allows a user to create new Advertisements /Banners/Alerts. Advertisements may add an image to the background of the Ad; Changing the Text on the Ad; Create Special effects for the Text on the Ad; Customizing Font color and size. Advertisement may be sent instantaneously or at a later time for Alerts, Ads or banners without the need for browsing through the internet.
