Automated Media Content Testing for Wireless Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current media content development tools for wireless communication devices require lengthy and tedious manual steps for testing and editing media content, which can be time-consuming and distracting, and existing solutions are not well-suited for wireless communication devices.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for testing media content on wireless communication devices, involving a media content composer module, a web server, and a dispatcher module that automates the process of publishing and transmitting media content using WAP service load requests through a mobile data service or its simulator, allowing for immediate testing on the device or simulator.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual steps are used to test media content (exporting, publishing, opening browser, downloading), then the testing process can be completed, but the process becomes lengthy, time-consuming and tedious
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a content development tool as an intermediary system between the media content creator and the wireless communication device. This tool automatically performs the manual steps of exporting content, publishing to web server, and transmitting to the device through WAP service load requests, thereby eliminating the need for developers to manually execute each step and significantly reducing testing time
Solution Approach 2:
The system prepares the testing environment in advance by pre-configuring the web server, MDS service, and device simulator connections. The content development tool maintains ready-state communication channels and pre-loads necessary components, so when content needs to be tested, the transmission can occur immediately without setup delays
2Ease of operation
If manual testing steps are followed, then content can be tested on the device, but the process becomes distracting and tedious for developers
Solution Approach 1:
The content development tool is designed to automatically manage the entire testing workflow without requiring developer intervention. The tool self-manages content export, web server publishing, device communication setup, and result retrieval, allowing developers to simply initiate the test and receive results without being distracted by complex manual procedures

AI summary
A communications network comprises a wireless communication device (12), a mobile data service (14) and an apparatus for testing media content developed for a wireless communication device (12). This apparatus comprises a media content composer module (30), a web server (32), and a dispatcher module (34). The dispatcher module (34) is programmed to: receive a media content simulation request from the composer module (30); publish media content developed on the composer module (30) onto the web server (32), the published content having a uniform resource locator (URL) associated thereto; and transmit to the mobile data service (14) the URL and instructions to the wireless communication device (12) or a wireless communication device simulator (13) to open a web browser and access the URL thereby downloading the media content from the web server (32).
