  In S111 that proceeds when it is determined that an input to the local smartphone 11b has been performed, the microcomputer 32b of the local management device 5b outputs an operation command corresponding to the input to the local smartphone 11b via the wired communication unit 34a. To do. That is, an operation command corresponding to the content operated by the tester is input to the local smartphone 11b, and the content operated by the tester is actually realized in the local smartphone 11b. This is realized by the test engine 22b inputting to the application a command similar to the command input from the operating system 23b to the application when the touch panel 16b is actually operated on the local smartphone 11b.

  Subsequently, the microcomputer 32b of the local management device 5b converts the operation command output in S111 into a general command based on the general command list stored in the storage unit 33b as one of the data file groups 41b (S113). ). Here, the general-purpose command list will be described with reference to FIG.

The general command list is composed of a plurality of list elements each of which includes a general command number, general command parameter information, and an operation command.
The general command number is a number that can identify the type of operation command (for example, the hard key A is pressed), and is assigned a unique number. By transmitting this number from the local management device 5b to the remote management device 5a, the type of operation command can be specified in the remote management device 5a.

  The general-purpose command parameter information is parameter information included in the operation command (for example, coordinate information touched with a finger). By transmitting this information from the local management device 5b to the remote management device 5a, parameter information is set in the operation command in the remote management device 5a and the operation command is completed. For example, the tap operation on the touch panel is specified by the general command number, the coordinates of the tap position and the tapping time are specified by the general command parameter information, and the complete operation command is specified.

The same list is also stored in the storage unit 33a of the remote management device 5a.
Returning to FIG. 6, the microcomputer 32b of the local management device 5b sends the general command (general command number and general command parameter information) converted in S113 to the remote management device 5a via the wired communication unit 34b. Transmit (S115).

  Receiving the general command, the microcomputer 32a of the remote management device 5a converts the general command into an operation command (S117). This is performed with reference to the list described with reference to FIG.

Subsequently, the microcomputer 32a of the remote management device 5a outputs the operation command converted in S117 to the remote smartphone 11a (S119).
Subsequently, the microcomputer 32a of the remote management device 5a acquires detection information from the remote smartphone 11a (S121). The detection information is, for example, position information based on a signal from a GPS satellite, communication information from a base station of a mobile phone network, rotation information from a gyroscope built in the remote smartphone 11a, etc. It means the information obtained by detecting the influence from. The test engine 22a executed by the microcomputer 12a of the remote smartphone 11a collects the detection information and transmits it to the remote management device 5a via the wired communication unit 15a, so that the microcomputer 32a of the remote management device 5a Detection information can be acquired.

  Subsequently, the microcomputer 32a of the remote management device 5a transmits the detection information acquired in S121 to the local management device 5b via the wired communication unit 34a (S123).

  The microcomputer 32b of the local management device 5b that has received the detection information transmits the received detection information to the local smartphone 11b via the wired communication unit 34b (S125). Thereby, the microcomputer 12b of the local smartphone 11b that has obtained the detection information passes the detection information to the application currently being executed in the foreground by the function of the test engine 22b, and whether the application has obtained the detection information from the operating system 23b. Let me do that. As a result, the application on the local smartphone 11b operates using the same detection information as the same application on the remote smartphone 11a.

  Subsequently, the explanation is moved to FIG. 7, and the microcomputer 32a of the remote management device 5a acquires the screen of the remote smartphone 11a (S127). As an acquisition method, a method of acquiring a capture screen from the remote smartphone 11a via the wired communication unit 34a may be used, or an image captured by the remote camera 6a may be acquired via the wired communication unit 34a. You may cut out and acquire from the image | video.

  Subsequently, the microcomputer 32a of the remote management device 5a identifies the screen status ID from the screen acquired in S127, and transmits the identified screen status ID to the local management device 5b via the wired communication unit 34a. (S129). The screen state ID is an ID that can specify the type of the displayed screen and the display state in the screen, and corresponds to the screen currently displayed on the touch panel 16a of the remote smartphone 11a. For example, a combination of a screen type ID and a state ID of an object (such as a check box) in the screen is conceivable, but is not limited thereto.

  Here, a method for specifying the screen state ID will be described. There are two methods for specifying the screen state ID. One is a method of extracting the screen state ID embedded in the form of a digital watermark in the screen displayed on the touch panel 16a of the remote side smartphone 11a. The other is a method of specifying the screen state ID by referring to a database registered in association with the combination of the part images and the screen state ID. Hereinafter, it will be described in two parts.

  First, the screen state ID is extracted from the digital watermark in the screen. In this method, one screen state ID is embedded in the screen in the form of the digital watermark. For this reason, the screen state ID can be specified only by extracting the screen state ID from the screen. This method is based on the premise that the embedded screen state ID changes according to the type of screen and the display state within the screen (whether or not an object within the screen is selected, etc.).

  Next, referring to the database, the screen state ID is specified. In this method, the database is stored in the storage unit 33a of the remote management device 5a. Specifically, a parts database illustrated in FIG. 10A and a screen state database illustrated in FIG.

  The parts database stores a plurality of part IDs and part image data in association with each other. The part image data exists for each part (object) state. For example, in the case of an operation button, a pressed image and a non-pressed image are stored, and different parts are stored in each image. ID is matched.

  A plurality of screen state IDs and combinations of part IDs are stored in the screen state database in association with each other. Since the screen is composed of a plurality of parts, the combination of the parts and the screen state ID are stored in the screen state database.

  Using these databases, the microcomputer 32a of the remote management device 5a first refers to the parts database and identifies a part ID for each part constituting the screen acquired in S127. Subsequently, the screen state database is referred to, and the screen state ID corresponding to the combination of the part IDs is specified.

  A method using a digital watermark and a method of referring to a database may be used in combination. For example, the part ID of each part may be extracted from a plurality of digital watermarks included in the screen, and the screen state ID may be specified by referring to the screen state database based on the extracted part ID.

  Returning to FIG. 7, on the other hand, the microcomputer 32b of the local management device 5b acquires the screen of the local smartphone 11b (S131). As an acquisition method, a method of acquiring a capture screen from the local smartphone 11b via the wired communication unit 34b may be used, or an image captured by the local camera 6b may be acquired via the wired communication unit 34b. You may cut out and acquire from the image | video.

  Subsequently, the microcomputer 32b of the local management device 5b specifies the screen state ID from the screen acquired in S131 (S133). The screen state ID is an ID that can specify the type of the displayed screen and the display state in the screen, and corresponds to the screen currently displayed on the touch panel 16b of the local smartphone 11b. The method for specifying the screen state ID is the same as the method performed by the remote management device 5a. If the remote management device 5a has a database for specifying the screen state ID, the same database is used. Is also owned by the local management device 5b.

  Subsequently, the microcomputer 32b of the local management device 5b transmits the screen status ID indicating the screen status of the touch panel 16a of the remote smartphone 11a transmitted from the remote management device 5a, and the local smartphone acquired in S133. The screen state ID indicating the screen state of the touch panel 16b of 11b is compared. And the result of whether it corresponds is displayed on the display part 37b of the local side management apparatus 5a (S135). Specifically, if both screen state IDs match, for example, a message “The screen states of both test target devices match” is displayed on the display unit 37b, and both screen state IDs match. If not, for example, it may be possible to display the message “the screen states of both test target devices do not match” on the display unit 37b (see FIG. 8).

  Subsequently, the microcomputer 32a of the remote management device 5a acquires an operation log from the remote smartphone 11a (S147). The operation log is an operation log of the application, and is information that can grasp how the application has operated. The test engine 22a executed by the microcomputer 12a of the remote smartphone 11a collects the operation log and transmits it to the remote management device 5a via the wired communication unit 15a, whereby the microcomputer 32a of the remote management device 5a An action log can be acquired.

  Subsequently, the microcomputer 32a of the remote management device 5a transmits the operation log acquired in S147 to the local management device 5b via the wired communication unit 34a (S149).

  The microcomputer 32b of the local management device 5b that has received the operation log stores the received operation log in the storage unit 33b (S151). Thereby, the operation log can be displayed on the display unit 37b of the local management device 5b, and the operation status of the application of the remote smartphone 11a can be grasped on the local side. At that time, the same operation log is acquired from the local smartphone 11b, and is displayed on the display unit 37b of the local management device 5b at the same time or after switching the operation log of the remote smartphone 11a. Good.

  Subsequently, the microcomputer 32b of the local management device 5b determines whether or not the keyboard 35b or the mouse 36b is operated by the tester and an instruction indicating the end of the test is input to the local management device 5b (S153). If it is determined that a command indicating the end of the test has been input, the process proceeds to S155, and if it is determined that a command indicating the end of the test has not been input, the process returns to S109 described above.

  In S155, which proceeds when it is determined that a command indicating the end of the test has been input, the microcomputer 32b of the local management device 5b transmits a command indicating the end of the test to the remote management device 5a via the wired communication unit 34b. To do.

  The microcomputer 32a of the remote management device 5a that has received the command ends the acquisition of the video from the remote camera 6a and also ends the transmission to the local management device 5b (S157).

[Effect of the embodiment]
According to the test system 3 of the above-described embodiment, an operation command is sent from the local management device 5b to the remote smartphone 11a at a remote location, and the detection information detected by the remote smartphone 11a is transmitted to the local side. Can be input to the local test target apparatus 7b. That is, the local smartphone 11b can be operated using the detection information obtained at a remote place. Therefore, the operation test of the smartphone in a remote environment can be accurately performed at hand (command location).

  Further, on the display unit 37b of the local management device 5b, an image obtained by photographing the display state of the touch panel 16a of the remote smartphone 11a and an image obtained by photographing the display state of the touch panel 16b of the local smartphone 11b are displayed side by side. . For this reason, it is possible to perform the test by comparing the two images while grasping the operation states of the remote smartphone 11a and the local smartphone 11b by the images. Therefore, the test can be performed more smoothly than before.

  In addition, an operation command input to the application group 21a of the remote smartphone 11a is converted into a number based on a general-purpose command number and transmitted in a scene transmitted from the local management device 5b to the remote management device 5a. The That is, the remote management device 5a and the local management device 5b maintain a list in which general-purpose command numbers and operation commands are associated with each other, and the local management device 5b refers to the list from the operation command to general-purpose After the conversion to the command number, the general command number is transmitted to the remote management device 5a, and the remote management device 5a returns the operation command from the general command number with reference to the list.

  For this reason, in the communication between the remote management device 5a and the local management device 5b, it is possible to generalize the operation commands. That is, even if the test target devices (remote side smartphone 11a and local side smartphone 11b) are changed, by changing the list (remote side management device 5a and local side management device 5b related to the operation command for the test target device) Test (without changing the communication program between).

  Further, the local management device 5b compares the screen state ID indicating the screen state of the touch panel 16a of the remote smartphone 11a with the screen state ID indicating the screen state of the touch panel 16b of the local smartphone 11b, and whether or not they match. The result is displayed on the display unit 37b of the local management device 5a.

  For this reason, even if a tester does not visually recognize and judge the identity of the screen displayed on the remote smartphone 11a and the screen displayed on the local smartphone 11b (in other words, the identity of the execution result) it can. In addition, since the comparison is performed between the IDs, the possibility that the comparison result is incorrect is low.

  The remote management device 5a is configured to acquire an operation log from the remote smartphone 11a and transmit it to the local management device 5b, and the local management device 5b records the received operation log. For this reason, the operation log of the remote smartphone 11a can be confirmed in the local management device 5b, and the operation status of the remote smartphone 11a can be known in more detail at the command location.
