1. A method comprising:
- interrogating, by one or more radio-frequency identification (RFID) readers, an RFID tag of a mobile device;
receiving, by the one or more RFID readers, data from the RFID tag responsive to the interrogating;
transmitting, by the one or more RFID readers in response to receiving the data from the RFID tag, a command to initiate a processing system of the mobile device to execute a test program stored in the mobile device; and
receiving results of the test program from the mobile device.

Abstract
Device testing using radio-frequency identification (RFID) is described herein. The testing uses one or more RFID readers that interrogate an RFID tag on a mobile device and, in response to the interrogation, receive data from the RFID tag. The one or more RFID readers, in response to receipt of the data from the RFID tag, transmit a command to execute a test program on the mobile device. The results of the test program are then provided by the mobile device.

10. A mobile device, comprising:
-
a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag configured to store data in memory of the RFID tag and communicate with an RFID reader, the data including executable instructions; a processing system to interface with the RFID tag via a communication bus, the processing system being configured to; receive a command from the RFID tag to initiate execution of a test program, the command being communicated to the processing system in response to the RFID tag receiving the command from the RFID reader; execute the test program stored in the memory of the RFID tag; and wirelessly transmit data generated from the test program to a computing device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system comprising:
-
one or more radio-frequency identification (RFID) readers; a mobile device including an RFID tag configured to communicate with the one or more RFID readers; a computing device configured to communicate with the one or more RFID readers; a test module that is executable in the computing device and configured to; interrogate, via the one or more RFID readers, the RFID tag of the mobile device; transmit, via the one or more RFID readers, a first command to power on the mobile device; transmit, via the one or more RFID readers, a second command to initiate a processing system of the mobile device to execute a test program stored in the mobile device; receive results of the test program from the mobile device; and transmit, via the one or more RFID readers, a third command to power off the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
