Abstract

The present invention is directed to on-demand testing of broadband internet bandwidth measurement. The method and system performs broadband internet bandwidth testing to determine upload and download data transfer rates between the service node and requesting node to which the user terminals coupled thereto.

Claims

1. A system for detecting and measuring broadband internet bandwidth comprising:

a. network;

b. a host computer system wherein said host computer is connected to said network wherein said host computer comprises a platform wherein said platform comprises a speed test module;

c. said platform further comprises an application programming interface;

d. at least one user;

e. at least one website is connected to said network wherein said website provides said user access to said speed test module whereby said website is connected to said speed test module via said application programming interface.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein said speed test module embodies HTML5 language.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein said speed test module embodies JavaScript.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein said speed test module detects and measures broadband internet bandwidth by directly downloading and uploading sample files from said user'"'"'s browser.

5. The system of claim 4 wherein said speed test module directly downloads sample file from small to large until a time for said download reaches a threshold.

6. The system of claim 5 wherein said threshold is 8 seconds.

7. The system of claim 5 wherein said speed test module measures the broadband internet bandwidth base on said sample file wherein said download time reaches said threshold.

8. The system of claim 5 wherein said sample file is selected from the group consist of 128 KB, 256 KB, 1 MB, 2 MB, 4 MB, 8 MB, 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, and 128 MB.

9. The system of claim 1 wherein said speed test module does not embody Adobe Flash language.

10. The system of claim 1 wherein said speed test modules does not embody Java applets.

11. The system of claim 1 wherein said website access said speed test module without said user'"'"'s request.

12. A method to detect and to measure broadband internet bandwidth comprising:

a. providing a network;

b. connecting a host computer system to said network wherein said host computer comprises a platform wherein said platform comprises a speed test module and an application programming interface;

d. having at least one user;

e. connecting at least one website to said network wherein said website provides said user access to said speed test module whereby said website is connected to said speed test module via said application programming interface.

13. The method of claim 12 wherein said speed test module embodies HTML5 language.

14. The method of claim 12 wherein said speed test module embodies JavaScript.

15. The method of claim 12 wherein said speed test module detects and measures broadband internet bandwidth by directly downloading and uploading sample files from said user'"'"'s browser.

16. The method of claim 12 wherein said speed test module directly downloads sample file from small to large until a time for said download reaches a threshold.

17. The method of claim 12 wherein said threshold is 8 seconds.

18. The method of claim 12 wherein said speed test module measures the broadband internet bandwidth base on said sample file wherein said download time reaches said threshold.

19. The method of claim 16 wherein said sample file is selected from the group consist of 128 KB, 256 KB, 1 MB, 2 MB, 4 MB, 8 MB, 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, and 128 MB.

20. The method of claim 12 wherein said speed test module does not embody Adobe Flash language.

21. The method of claim 12 wherein said speed test modules does not embody Java applets.

22. The method of claim 12 wherein said website access said speed test module without said user'"'"'s request.
