1. A method for mobile phone and instrument control performed by a processing unit of a standalone controller, the method comprising:
- reading, via the standalone controller, a set of scripts contained within a script text;
determining, via the standalone controller, for each script from among the set of scripts, (i) script content associated with a control command transmission, and (ii) a destination of the control command transmission according to the respective script, the destination being one of (i) a mobile phone, or (ii) one of a plurality of instruments, the mobile phone and the one of the plurality of instruments being simultaneously connected to the controller via a first connection and a second connection, respectively, as the set of scripts are read;
when the destination of the control command transmission is the mobile phone, transmitting the control command directly to the mobile phone via the first connection according to the respective script via a first bus controller associated with the standalone controller; and
when the destination is one of the plurality of instruments, transmitting the control command directly to the one of the plurality of instruments via the second connection according to the respective script via a second bus controller associated with the standalone controller,wherein the first bus controller and the second bus controller are associated with different communication standards,wherein additional scripts are read upon completion of the transmission of the control command to one of the mobile phone or the one of the plurality of instruments until each script from among the set of scripts is read,wherein the one of the plurality of instruments is one of (i) an integrated tester, connected to the mobile phone, and configured to detect digital or analog signals output by the mobile phone, (ii) a power supplier configured to power the mobile phone on and off, or (iii) a signal emitter configured to transmit radio-frequency signals to the mobile phone, andwherein the one of the plurality of instruments uses the transmitted control command received via the second connection to test the mobile device.

7. A mobile phone and instrument control device including a standalone controller, the mobile phone and instrument control device comprising:
-
a storage device configured to store, via the standalone controller, a script text including a set of scripts; and a processing unit coupled to the storage device, the processing unit configured to, via the standalone controller; read each script from among the set of scripts included in the script text; determine, for each script from among the set of scripts associated with a control command transmission, (i) script content associated with a control command transmission, and (ii) a destination of the control command transmission according to the respective script, the destination being one of (i) a mobile phone, or (ii) one of a plurality of instruments, the mobile phone and the one of the plurality of instruments being simultaneously connected to the standalone controller via a first connection and a second connection, respectively, as the set of scripts are read; when the destination of the control command transmission is the mobile phone, transmitting the control command directly to the mobile phone via the first connection according to the respective script via a first bus controller associated with the standalone controller; and when the destination is one of the multiple instruments, transmitting the control command directly to the one of the multiple instruments via the second connection according to the respective script via a second bus controller associated with the standalone controller, wherein the first bus controller and the second bus controller are associated with different communication standards, wherein additional scripts are read upon completion of the transmission of the control command to one of the mobile phone or the one of the plurality of instruments until each script from among the set of scripts is read, wherein the one of the plurality of instruments is one of (i) an integrated tester, connected to the mobile phone, and configured to detect digital or analog signals output by the mobile phone, (ii) a spectrum analyzer configured to detect radio-frequency signals transmitted from the mobile phone, (iii) a power supplier configured to power the mobile phone on and off, or (iv) a signal emitter configured to transmit radio-frequency signals to the mobile phone, and wherein the one of the plurality of instruments uses the transmitted control command received via the second connection to test the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 18)
