Solution Overview

Problem

The existing mobile terminal test systems burden users with the complexity of setting parameters according to specific test specifications, as they require manual configuration of numerous settings and parameters.

Innovation Solution

A mobile terminal test apparatus and system that includes a pseudo base station unit, test control unit, and display unit, which presents a hierarchical setting screen allowing users to select test specifications and set parameters through a structured operation interface, reducing the complexity of parameter configuration by organizing settings in a hierarchical manner and offering both detailed and simplified display modes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual parameter configuration is required according to test specifications, then test accuracy and compliance are improved, but user operation complexity and time consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetest complianceVSAvoidparameter setting burden
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The parameter setting interface is segmented into a hierarchical tree structure with multiple levels (test specification level, test item level, parameter level). Users can navigate through these levels to access specific parameters, which divides the complex parameter configuration task into manageable steps and reduces the operational burden while ensuring compliance with test specifications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-configures parameter relationships and dependencies based on test specifications. When a user selects a test specification, the system automatically determines and displays the required parameters and their relationships in advance, eliminating the need for users to manually configure complex parameter interactions and reducing setting time while maintaining test compliance.

2Measurement precision

If detailed parameter settings are provided, then test precision is improved, but interface complexity and user confusion increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter configuration accuracyVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The interface is segmented into a hierarchical tree structure that organizes parameters by test specification, test item, and parameter category. This segmentation allows detailed parameter settings to be presented in an organized, progressive manner, preventing interface complexity from overwhelming users while maintaining measurement precision through comprehensive parameter coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The interface dynamically adjusts its complexity based on user needs and selected test specifications. When a user selects a specific test item, the system dynamically displays only the relevant parameters and settings for that item, hiding unrelated complexity. This dynamic adaptation maintains measurement precision for selected parameters while reducing perceived interface complexity for users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

Provided are a mobile terminal test apparatus, a mobile terminal test system, and a control method for the mobile terminal test apparatus, which can reduce burdens on a user for setting parameters according to a specification of a test. A setting screen is displayed with a first operation image 21 for selecting a specification of a test and a second operation image 22 in which parameter operation images 22a to 22e for setting parameters for executing the test according to the specification selected by an operation with respect to the first operation image 21 are arranged based on parameter hierarchies. With an operation of changing one parameter with respect to the parameter operation images 22a to 22e, lower parameter operation images whose parameter hierarchies are lower than the parameter operation image are updated according to the specification selected by the operation with respect to the first operation image 21.
