The present invention relates to a mobile communication device and a test method, and more particularly to a mobile communication device with a test function and a test method implemented by the mobile communication device.

For example, when the mobile communication device of the mobile phone is developed, the mobile communication test device is required to perform the mobile test. The mobile communication device of the test function is commonly called a test mobile phone.

Especially for the development of multi-mode and smart phones, it has more complex information and communication processing capabilities. It needs to test different systems and different functions for network characteristics to improve the phase between communication devices and servo network devices. Capacitance, the process of testing that has been performed, and the results of the tests produced are more complex.

During the whole test process, the test will be repeated and repeated, and various parameters will be changed according to the test results to re-test; however, in the conventional method, each time after resetting, it is necessary to automatically run the whole process to detect, for Sometimes, as long as the purpose of correcting a parameter is correct, it is too time-consuming to run the unrelated process.

The universal serial bus interface 10 is additionally used to transfer the job material 9a between the communication processing unit 22a and the information processing unit 24a.

This method can be directly detected and processed by the test mobile phone, solves the problem that is difficult to carry in the past, and can more realistically test the changes brought by various mobiles; however, the obtained test result data 8a is still complicated and complicated, the data is messy and complicated, and the test analyst Not only can you not see the analysis conclusion at a glance, but you can't directly get the results for the test items to be tested. Every time you have to run all the test items in the whole process, the test result data 8a contains many unused test materials. It is quite time consuming and wastes system resources.

Moreover, the burden of transmitting the job material 9a by the universal sequence bus interface 10 is heavy, and the detection result data 8a is also transmitted by using the universal sequence bus interface 10, which additionally increases the burden of the universal sequence bus interface 10, which is not conducive to the overall data transmission. s efficiency.

The advantages and spirit of the present invention will be further understood from the following detailed description of the invention.

Please refer to the third figure, which is a schematic diagram of an appearance of an embodiment of the mobile communication device 30 of the present invention. The present invention relates to a mobile communication device 30 with a test function, which mainly has a human input interface 32 and a human machine output interface 34. The common mobile communication device 30 is a mobile phone, and the mobile communication device 30 of the present invention has dual The core of the mobile communication device 30 of the present embodiment is exemplified by a smart phone or a PDA phone.

Generally, the human-machine input interface 32 can be a button group, and the human-machine output interface 34 can be a small-sized screen; however, the touch-type screen can also be used as the human-machine input interface 32 and the human-machine output interface 34.

Please refer to the fourth figure, which is a functional connection block diagram of an embodiment of the mobile communication device 30 of the present invention. The components of the mobile communication device 30 further include an information processing unit 44, a detection module 40, a communication processing unit 42, a first transmission interface 50, and a second transmission interface 52.

The human input interface 32 can receive input from outside the mobile communication device 30 to generate a corresponding command. In practice, the man-machine input interface 32 can display the menu of instructions or the writing field of the instruction, or display the target instruction in a hierarchical manner, providing the operator with visual observation so as to input the correct instruction with respect to the human input interface 32, because Instructions are optional or written, so they can be performed on the target instructions without the need for full process detection.

The mobile communication device 30 of the present invention is a dual core, which respectively bears the functions of information processing and communication processing, and is respectively an information processing unit 44 and a communication processing unit 42. The information processing unit 44 usually operates in conjunction with an operating system (OS) to generate a large number of The job data 69 travels between the information processing unit 44 and the communication processing unit 42 through the first transmission interface 50. The information processing unit 44 is coupled to the human input interface 32 to retrieve commands generated by the human input interface 32.

The first transmission interface 50 and the second transmission interface 52 are electrically connected to the information processing unit 44 and the communication processing unit 42, the first transmission interface 50 is used to transmit a job data 69 between the information processing unit 44 and the communication processing unit 42; The second transmission interface 52 is configured to transmit a control command 66 from the information processing unit 44 to the communication processing unit 42.

Preferably, in the embodiment, the first transmission interface 50 can be a Universal Serial Bus Interface (USB Interface), and the second transmission interface 52 can be a non-synchronized serial interface. (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter; UART).

After the control command 66 is transmitted to the communication processing unit 42, the communication processing unit 42 causes the corresponding communication status to respond to a detection result data 68, and the detection result data 68 is transmitted to the information processing unit 44 through the second transmission interface 52.

The human-machine output interface 34 is coupled to the information processing unit 44, and the detection result data 68 transmitted back to the information processing unit 44 is subsequently output by the human-machine output interface 34 for the operator to view the result.

Because the path of the detection result data 68 is sent back to the information processing unit 44, the path through the common sequence bus interface is transmitted in the same path as the transmission job data, and is transmitted to the information processing unit 44 through the second transmission interface 52. Therefore, unlike the conventional technology, since the detection result data 68 occupies the transmission resource of the first transmission interface 50, the transmission efficiency of the job material 69 is greatly reduced.

Further, the effect of the transmission on the practice is further illustrated. For example, when the user selects a specific function control page, the detection module 40 periodically sends the AT command corresponding to the specific function control page to the communication processing unit 42. In response to the AT command, the detection module 40 only responds to the required detection result data 68 to display the relevant result display page; in other words, when a function control page is selected, only the relevant relevant detection result data 68 is generated. The results must be presented to display the page. Therefore, the method of implementing the page detecting tool by the AT command can greatly reduce the amount of data to be transmitted by the communication processing unit 42, thereby reducing the burden on the system.
