Abstract

Methods and systems may include high speed camera to capture a video of a display output, a robotic arm to interact with a device, a processor, and a computer readable storage medium having a set of instructions. If executed by the processor, the instructions cause the system to identify one or more user experience characteristics based on the captured video, and generate a report based on the one or more user experience characteristics. The report may include a perceptional model score that is generated based on the user experience characteristics as well as other parameters. The user experience characteristics could include response time, frame rate and run time characteristics.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

a camera to capture a video of a display output;

a processor; and

a computer readable storage medium including a set of instructions which, if executed by the processor, cause the system to,

identify one or more user experience characteristics based on the video, and

generate a report based on the one or more user experience characteristics.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the instructions, if executed, cause the system to identify at least one of a response time characteristic, a frame rate characteristic, a run time characteristic and a quality characteristic.

3. The system of claim 2, further including a robotic arm, wherein the instructions, if executed, cause the system to:

instruct the robotic arm to mimic a user interaction; and

identify the response time characteristic with respect to the user interaction.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the user interaction is to include at least one of a touch screen operation, a mouse operation, a touchpad operation, a keypad operation, a keyboard operation and a microphone operation.

5. The system of claim 3, wherein the user interaction is to include a touch interaction.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the instructions, if executed, cause the system to generate a perceptual model score.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the instructions, if executed, cause the system to compare chronological data to the one or more user experience characteristics of the video to generate the perceptual model score.

8. A method comprising:

capturing a video of a display output;

identifying one or more user experience characteristics based on the video; and

generating a report based on the one or more user experience characteristics.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein identifying the one or more user experience characteristics includes identifying at least one of a response time characteristic, a frame rate characteristic, a run time characteristic and a quality characteristic.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the response time characteristic is identified with respect to a user interaction.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the user interaction includes a touch interaction.

12. The method of claim 10, wherein the user interaction includes at least one of a zoom operation, a tap operation, a rotate operation and a pan operation.

13. The method of claim 8, wherein generating the report includes generating a perceptual model score.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein generating the perceptual model score includes comparing chronological data to the one or more user experience characteristics of the video.

15. A computer readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions which, if executed by a processor, cause a computer to:

identify one or more user experience characteristics based on a video of a display output;

generate a report based on the one or more user experience characteristics.

16. The medium of claim 15, wherein the instructions, if executed, cause a computer to identify at least one of a response time characteristic, a frame rate characteristic, a run time characteristic and a quality characteristic.

17. The medium of claim 16, wherein the instructions, if executed, cause a computer to identify the response time characteristic with respect to a user interaction.

18. The medium of claim 17, wherein the user interaction is to include at least one of a touch screen operation, a mouse operation, a touchpad operation, a keypad operation, a keyboard operation, a microphone operation, and a touch interaction.

19. The medium of claim 15, wherein the instructions, if executed, cause a computer to generate a perceptual model score.

20. The medium of claim 19, wherein the instructions, if executed, cause a computer to compare chronological data to the one or more user experience characteristics of the video to generate the perceptual model score.
