In this embodiment, the rotation axis 184 can drive the sensor 182 to rotate 360 degrees.
[0023] In some embodiments, the target device 20 may be a wireless communication device capable of accessing a wireless network, including but not limited to a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a laptop computer, a display device, an electronic player, a game console, a television, a wearable device, an Internet of Things (IOT) device, etc., which may be used to exchange wireless signals and transmit data via a wireless network.
[0024] The target device 20 at least includes a wireless transceiver 22, an antenna module 24, and a wireless communication module 26. The antenna module 24 can be used to receive and send wireless signals. The wireless transceiver 22 can be used to modulate and demodulate the wireless signals received and sent by the antenna module 24 to achieve network data interaction.

[0027] It can be understood that the wireless communication modules 26 and 32 may include a separate WiFi module and a Bluetooth module, or may be integrated with a plurality of wireless communication modules including a WiFi module and a Bluetooth module.
[0028] The following is combined with Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 2 The network transmission test system 100 shown introduces in detail the network transmission test method provided in the embodiment of the present application.
[0029] See also Figure 3 , is a flow chart of a network transmission test provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, when the network transmission test method is applied to the network transmission test system 100, the network transmission test method may include the following steps:
[0030] S311 , connecting the control device 30 and the wireless access point device 10 via a first wireless connection method, and connecting the wireless access point device 10 and at least one target device 20 via a second wireless connection method.
[0031] In some embodiments, the wireless access point device 10 can establish wireless connections with the control device 30 and at least one target device 20 respectively through different wireless connection modes. The first wireless connection mode is different from the second wireless connection mode. The first wireless connection mode may be, but not limited to, a WiFi connection, and the second wireless connection mode may be, but not limited to, a Bluetooth connection. Specifically, the wireless access point device 10 can establish a WiFi connection with the wireless communication module 32 of the control device 30 through the WiFi baseband module 12, and the wireless access point device 10 can establish a Bluetooth connection with the wireless communication module 26 of at least one target device 20 through the Bluetooth baseband module 14. Thus, the wireless access point device 10 can exchange signals and data with the control device 30 and at least one target device 20 respectively.
[0032] S312 , obtaining relative angle information between at least one target device 20 and the wireless access point device 10 .
[0033] In some embodiments, the wireless access point device 10 may locate at least one target device 20 by using the Angle of Departure (AOD) positioning technology to obtain the relative angle information of the at least one target device 20 relative to the wireless access point device 10. In some embodiments, the wireless access point device 10 may transmit a wireless signal (e.g., a positioning test signal) to the at least one target device 20 by using at least two omnidirectional antennas in the antenna array 16, and the at least one target device 20 may receive the wireless signal transmitted by the wireless access point device 10 by using the wireless communication module 26. Since the wireless signal transmitted by the at least two omnidirectional antennas received by the at least one target device 20 may have a relative angle with each omnidirectional antenna, that is, the at least one target device 20 may have a relative angle with each omnidirectional antenna, when the at least one target device 20 has two relative angles with the two omnidirectional antennas respectively, the wireless access point device 10 may obtain the relative angle information of the at least one target device 20 relative to the wireless access point device 10 by using the triangulation positioning reference.
[0034] S313 , obtaining distance information between at least one target device 20 and the wireless access point device 10 .
[0035] In some embodiments, the wireless access point device 10 can measure the distance of at least one target device 20 through the rotatable distance measuring element 18 to obtain the distance information of the at least one target device 20 relative to the wireless access point device 10. In some embodiments, the wireless access point device 10 can adjust the rotation axis 184 according to the obtained relative angle information with the at least one target device 20, so as to drive the sensor 182 to align with the at least one target device 20 through the rotation axis 184, and calculate the distance between the sensor 182 and the at least one target device 20 by sending infrared rays to the at least one target device 20 and receiving the infrared rays reflected by the at least one target device 20, so as to obtain the distance information between the at least one target device 20 and the wireless access point device 10. It can be understood that the wireless access point device 10 rotates the axis 184 according to the obtained relative angle information with the at least one target device 20 to align the sensor 182 with the at least one target device 20, so as to make the distance measurement of the at least one target device 20 by the sensor 182 more accurate.
[0036] S314 , connecting the wireless access point device 10 and at least one target device 20 via a first wireless connection method.
[0037] In some embodiments, the wireless access point device 10 can establish a WiFi connection with the wireless communication module 26 of at least one target device 20 through the WiFi baseband module 12. Thus, the wireless access point device 10 can exchange signals and data with at least one target device 20.
[0038] S315 , setting a test data packet through the control device 30 and notifying the wireless access point device 10 , and transmitting the test data packet to at least one target device 20 through the wireless access point device 10 .
[0039] In some embodiments, the control device 30 can set a test data packet, for example, by receiving user input to set parameters of the test data packet through a control interface. The control device 30 transmits the set test data packet to the wireless access point device 10, and the wireless access point device 10 then synchronously transmits it to at least one target device 20. The test data packet is used to test the network data throughput of at least one target device 20.
[0040] S316, detecting the data throughput of at least one target device 20 for the test data packet.
[0041] In some embodiments, the data throughput of downloading and uploading the test data packet in a unit time of at least one target device 20 is detected. For example, the relative angle between the wireless access point device 10 and the at least one target device 20 may be 45 degrees, the distance between the wireless access point device 10 and the at least one target device 20 may be 10 meters, the test data packet may be 4096 bytes, and the data throughput of the at least one target device 20 detected may be 198 megabits per second (Mbps).
[0042] S317, acquiring test data of at least one target device 20 through the wireless access point device 10, and synchronously transmitting the test data of at least one target device 20 to the control device 30, processing the test data of at least one target device 20 through the control device 30, and outputting the test result.
[0043] In some embodiments, the wireless access point device 10 obtains test data of at least one target device 20, that is, test data of data throughput of at least one target device 20 for a test data packet, and synchronizes the test data of at least one target device 20 to the control device 30. The control device 30 processes the test data of at least one target device 20 and outputs the test result. For example, the control device 30 organizes the test data of at least one target device 20 into a table format to display multiple test data, and outputs it to the control interface for display.
[0044] It can be understood that when there are multiple target devices 20, steps S311 to S313 can be performed, that is, by obtaining the relative angle information between the wireless access point device 10 and other target devices 20, and then adjusting the rotatable distance measuring element 18 according to the relative angle information between the wireless access point device 10 and other target devices 20 to obtain the distance information between the wireless access point device 10 and other target devices 20. Then, steps S314 to S317 are performed on the network transmission test of other target devices 20. Thus, the wireless access point device 10 automatically obtains the relative angle information and distance information with the target device 20 to be tested, which simplifies the test operation and improves the test efficiency.
[0045] The network transmission test method of the present application first obtains the relative angle information and distance information with the target device 20 to be tested through the wireless access point device 10, and then performs a network transmission test on the target device 20 to be tested, which can effectively improve the accuracy of the network transmission test of the target device 20. Moreover, when there are multiple target devices 20, the relative angle information and distance information with multiple target devices 20 to be tested are automatically obtained through the wireless access point device 10, which simplifies the test operation and improves the test efficiency.
