Mobile communication platform for test system applications
First Claim
1. A mobile test platform for a testing system including one or more remote testing devices operated through one or more controller units through an input/output interface to provide input commands to the one or more remote testing devices and receive output test data from the one or more remote testing devices comprisinga communication platform including instructions on one or more hardware components configured to generate and transmit an outbound message, indicating that test data is available from the one or more remote testing devices, before any sending of test data, to a remote test platform having a remote data store, and to receive an inbound reply message from the remote test platform, in response to the outbound message, to transmit the test data to the remote test platform, the communication platform further configured to interface with the one or more controller units to receive input or output data from the one or more remote test devices and to transmit, after receipt of the inbound reply message from the remote test platform, the input or output data to the remote test platform in response to the inbound reply message to transmit data.

Abstract
A mobile communication platform for a test facility to monitor various testing devices. The mobile communication platform is configured to transmit data or information to a remote test platform remote from a test facility or laboratory. In embodiments described, the communication platform is configured to interface with the one or more controller units to receive input or output data from the one or more test devices and transmit the input output data to the remote test platform via a messaging protocol initiated by the communication platform coupled to the testing device.

1. A mobile test platform for a testing system including one or more remote testing devices operated through one or more controller units through an input/output interface to provide input commands to the one or more remote testing devices and receive output test data from the one or more remote testing devices comprising
a communication platform including instructions on one or more hardware components configured to generate and transmit an outbound message, indicating that test data is available from the one or more remote testing devices, before any sending of test data, to a remote test platform having a remote data store, and to receive an inbound reply message from the remote test platform, in response to the outbound message, to transmit the test data to the remote test platform, the communication platform further configured to interface with the one or more controller units to receive input or output data from the one or more remote test devices and to transmit, after receipt of the inbound reply message from the remote test platform, the input or output data to the remote test platform in response to the inbound reply message to transmit data.

15. A mobile data platform comprising:
-
one or more platform modules or tools including instructions on one or more hardware components configured to interface with one or more controller units to generate summary data from i/o data from one or more remote devices; and a mobile communication platform configured to receive one or more of the summary data and usage, status or maintenance data and to transmit an outbound message, before any sending of summary data or usage, status or maintenance data, indicating that summary data or usage, status or maintenance data is available from the one or more remote devices, to a remote platform having a remote data store, and to receive an inbound reply message from the remote platform, in response to the outbound message, to transmit one or more of the summary data and the usage, status or maintenance data to the remote platform. - View Dependent Claims (16)

17. A method comprising:
-
transmitting a message to a remote testing platform to invoke a response to transmit data, the message indicating, without any sending of test data, that the test data is available from a remote testing device for transmit; receiving the response to transmit data; processing i/o data from one or more controller units of the remote testing device; and transmitting the i/o data from the remote testing device to the remote testing platform. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)
