AUTOMATED TEST FOR CONSUMER ELECTRONICS
First Claim
1. Method for testing a consumer electronics (CE) product configured to wirelessly receive user commands from a wireless input device, comprising:
- obtaining command codes from the wireless input device;
correlating the command codes to respective functions;
permitting a tester to generate a test script designating at least some of the functions but not requiring the tester to designate the command codes;
executing the script by wirelessly transmitting, to the CE product, command codes corresponding to the functions designated in the script;
during script execution, querying the CE product for at least one product health index, the product health index being representative of a capability of the CE product to satisfactorily execute the script;
receiving from the CE product the product health index over an output port of the product; and
presenting the product index to a tester.

Abstract
A method for testing a consumer electronics (CE) product that wirelessly receives user commands from an IR remote control includes obtaining command codes from the remote and correlating the command codes to respective functions. A tester can generate a test script designating the functions but the tester is not required to designate the command codes. In this way, the script can be executed by wirelessly transmitting to the CE product command codes corresponding to the functions designated in the script. During script execution, the CE product is queried for health indicia such as memory usage. The CE product sends the product health indicia to a test computer over a USB debug port.

11. System comprising:
-
wireless user command receiver; test computer receiving command codes generated by a consumer electronics (CE) device remote control and intercepted by the receiver, the test computer storing the command codes in a data structure correlating the codes to respective CE product functions; script transmitter wirelessly sending, to the CE product, user commands embedded in a test script accessible to the test computer;
whereinthe test computer periodically, during execution of the script, receives from the CE product information representing capability of the CE product to execute the script. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
