Abstract

A method and apparatus are provided for analyzing the operation of radiocommunication terminal according to a predetermined radiocommunication protocol. The radiocommunication terminal transmits data representing at least one operation to be analyzed to a remote analysis device via a link according to the predetermined radiocommunication protocol.

Claims

1-16. -16. (canceled)

17. A method for analysing the operation of a radiocommunication terminal according to a predetermined radiocommunication protocol, the method comprising the following steps:

receiving by said radiocommunication terminal an analysis scenario and/or analysis parameter; and

transmitting from said radiocommunication terminal data representative of at least one operation to be analysed to a remote analysis device, via a connection according to said predetermined radiocommunication protocol, subsequent to said step of receiving.

18. The method according to claim 17 and further comprising a step involving the execution of a sequence of at least one operation, in said radiocommunication terminal, and temporary storage of said data representative of said operation(s), and wherein the step of transmitting comprises a step of batch transmission of said data representative of said operation(s), to said remote analysis device.

19. The method according to claim 18, wherein said execution and transmission steps successively use the same radiocommunication protocol.

20. The method according to claim 17, wherein said analysis parameter includes at least one of the following elements:

identification of at least one software element to be analysed;

identification of at least one data item to be transmitted;

identification of a sequence of at least one operation to be performed;

indication of an analysis level.

21. The method according to claim 17, wherein the method further includes a step, previous to the step of transmitting, in which said radiocommunication terminal receives data for configuring the transmission to said remote analysis device.

22. The method according to claim 21, wherein said configuration data includes at least one of said following elements:

a telephone number corresponding to said remote analysis device; and

parameters for configuration of the transmission of data to said remote analysis device.

23. The method according to claim 17, wherein the method implements an encryption for the transmission of data to and/or from said radiocommunication terminal.

24. The method according to claim 17, wherein the method uses an encryption key for the transmission of said analysis scenario and/or said analysis parameters.

25. The method according to claim 17 and further comprising a subsequent step in which said radiocommunication terminal receives updated data from the remote analysis device, based on the analysis of said data.

26. The method according to claim 17, wherein said step of receiving also uses said radiocommunication protocol.

27. The method according to claim 17, wherein said radiocommunication terminal implements an automated system, controlled by the analysis scenario transmitted by said remote analysis device and/or an analysis scenario stored in said radiocommunication terminal.

28. The method according to claim 27, wherein said scenario ensures that at least one operation normally performed by a user of said radiocommunication terminal is performed.

29. The method according to claim 17, wherein said radiocommunication terminal implements http commands, used to control the remote analysis device.

30. A radiocommunication terminal comprising:

means for receiving an analysis scenario and/or analysis parameter; and

means for transmitting data representative of at least one operation to be analysed to a remote analysis device, via a connection according to a predetermined radiocommunication protocol, subsequent to said step of receiving.

31. A remote analysis device comprising:

means for transmitting an analysis scenario and/or analysis parameter to a radiocommunication terminal; and

means for receiving from said radiocommunication terminal data representative of at least one operation to be analysed, via a connection according to a predetermined radiocommunication protocol, subsequent to said step of transmitting.
