Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は移動機リモート試験システム及び移動機リモート試験方法に関し、特に移動機制御装置により複数の移動機を試験する移動機リモート試験システム及び移動機リモート試験方法に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、この種の移動機試験システムは、たとえば特許文献１に開示されているように、実際に携帯電話等の移動機が使用される環境下に設置し、この環境下で移動機を試験するために用いられている。
【０００３】
この従来の、特許文献１に開示されている移動機試験システムは、図３で示すように、試験対象の第１〜第Ｎの携帯電話１０１〜１０Ｎと、移動機制御装置１１とにより構成する。
【０００４】
第１〜第Ｎの携帯電話１０１〜１０Ｎは、それぞれの外部接続端子に制御線の一端が接続され、これらの端子が移動機制御装置１１に接続されている。移動機制御装置１１は、制御線に制御信号を送ることで携帯電話１０１〜１０Ｎ発呼や着呼動作を確認し、通話状態に設定した状態で制御線に試験信号を送出しこれから折り返された試験信号の受信状態を制御線でチェックすることで、第１〜第Ｎの携帯電話１０１〜１０Ｎの通話品質を試験する。
【０００５】
【特許文献１】
特開平１１−１２７１０２号公報（段落「００２２」、図１）
【０００６】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上述した従来の移動機試験システムは、実際に移動機が使用される環境下に設置され、この環境下で移動機の試験をすることができるようにしている。そして、この移動機試験システムは、試験対象の第１〜第Ｎの携帯電話と、移動機制御装置とにより構成し、移動機制御装置は、制御線に制御信号を送ることで第１〜第Ｎの携帯電話の発呼や着呼動作を確認し、通話状態に設定した状態で制御線に試験信号を送出しこれから折り返された試験信号の受信状態を制御線でチェックすることで、第１〜第Ｎの携帯電話の通話品質を試験する。
【０００７】
このため、従来の移動機試験システムは、試験対象の携帯電話を試験するために、移動機試験システムを実際に移動機が使用される環境下に設置する必要があり、試験実施部門がこの環境下へ移動する必要があるため、移動機の開発部門と試験実施部門が離れた地域で作業することになるので、試験実施部門が検出した試験結果の開発部門へのフィードバック、開発部門による、試験実施部門から報告された問題を修正した移動機プログラムの作成とこの作成した移動機プログラムの試験実施部門への適用に時間と人手が掛かるという問題がある。
【０００８】
また、従来の移動機試験システムは、移動機制御装置が制御線に制御信号や試験信号を送り、制御線で様々な状態をチェックすることで、第１〜第Ｎの携帯電話の通話品質を試験するだけなので、膨大な移動機の試験項目を実施した結果の分析が自動的になされない、具体的には、検出された問題が新規か既出かの別、固有の移動機で問題が発生しているのか否か、等の問題の発生状況の整理に人手を有する作業が必要となるという問題がある。
【０００９】
本発明の目的はこのような従来の欠点を除去するため、試験対象の携帯電話を試験するために、移動機の開発部門と試験実施部門が離れた地域で作業することになっても試験実施部門が検出した試験結果の開発部門へのフィードバック、開発部門による、試験実施部門から報告された問題を修正した移動機プログラムの作成とこの作成した移動機プログラムの試験実施部門への適用に時間と人手が掛からず、問題の発生状況の整理に人手を必要としない移動機リモート試験システム及び移動機リモート試験方法を提供することにある。

【００１７】
【発明の実施の形態】
次に、本発明の実施の形態について図面を参照して説明する。
【００１８】
図１は、本発明の移動機リモート試験システムの一つの実施の形態を示すブロック図である。
【００１９】
図１に示す本実施の形態は、網３と、この網３に接続された移動機リモート制御装置２と移動機制御装置１と、この移動機制御装置１に制御される複数の携帯電話やＰＨＳ等の移動機とにより構成する。
【００２０】
網３はインタネット、公衆回線、専用線等を含む。
【００２１】
移動機リモート制御装置２は、移動機開発部門に設置する。移動機制御装置１は試験地に設置する。試験地は、例えば、ＩＭＴ２０００（ＩｎｔｅｒｎａｔｉｏｎａｌＭｏｂｉｌｅＴｅｌｅｃｏｍｍｕｎｉｃａｔｉｏｎｓ２０００）、ＰＤＣ（ＰｅｒｓｏｎａｌＤｉｇｉｔａｌＣｅｌｌｕｌａｒ）等の通信網の環境下を含む。
【００２２】
移動機４は、例えば第１の移動機４１〜第ｎの移動機４ｎのｎ台（ｎは、例えば１から３０程度の数であるが、この数にこだわらずシステムにより適宜変更可能である。）であり、移動機制御装置１と制御線により接続する。
【００２３】
移動機リモート制御装置２は、試験担当者の指示により、移動機プログラムと自動試験データとを作成して移動機制御装置１へ送信し、この自動試験データに対応する自動試験実施結果を移動機制御装置１より受けて開示する。そして、この自動試験実施結果が「問題有り」を示しているときに、試験担当者の指示により、移動機プログラム又は／及び自動試験データを修正して移動機制御装置１に送る。
【００２４】
移動機制御装置１は、ダウンロード制御手段５と自動試験制御手段６とにより構成する。
【００２５】
ダウンロード制御手段５は、移動機リモート制御装置２より移動機プログラムが送られてきたときにはこの移動機プログラムを受け複数の移動機４へそれぞれ送って移動機４にこのプログラムを格納させ、移動機リモート制御装置２より自動試験データが送られてきたときにはこの自動試験データを受け、この自動試験データを出力する。
【００２６】
自動試験制御手段６は、ダウンロード制御手段５より自動試験データを受け、この自動試験データで示す試験対象の移動機４に対しこの自動試験データで示す指示を出力し、この指示にしたがって試験対象の移動機４が動作したときの動作履歴をこの移動機４より受けるとともに、この指示にしたがって動作する試験対象の移動機４の動作に応じて動作するこの試験対象の移動機４とは異なる他の移動機４の動作履歴を受け、これらの動作履歴より問題の有無を判定し、各移動機４毎に、問題有り／無しを示す試験判定、問題の内容、動作履歴を含む試験結果を集計して記録する。
【００２７】
そして、自動試験制御手段６は、動作履歴の試験判定が「問題有り」を示すときに、この問題の発生状況を調査し、この調査した結果と試験結果とを自動試験実施結果として移動機リモート制御装置２へ送る。
【００２８】
次に、本実施の形態の移動機リモート試験システムの動作を図２を参照して詳細に説明する。
【００２９】
図２は、本発明の実施の形態の動作の一例を示し、本発明の移動機リモート試験方法の一例を示すフローチャートである。
【００３０】
図１において、図２のステップ２１では、移動機リモート制御装置２は、試験担当者の指示にしたがい、移動機４に格納しこの移動機４を制御する移動機プログラムと移動機４を試験するための自動試験データとを作成して網３を介して移動機制御装置１へ送信する。
【００３１】
自動試験データは、試験対象の移動機識別子と試験内容等の「試験を行うために必要な内容」と、試験を行い発生した問題について、この問題が新規発生なのか、発生した移動機４以外の移動機４でも発生しているのか、この問題の発生頻度はどうか等の「問題の発生状況の調査内容」とを示すテストシナリオを含む。
【００３２】
図２のステップ２２では、移動機制御装置１のダウンロード制御手段５は、移動機リモート制御装置２より網３を介して移動機プログラムが送られてきたときにはこの移動機プログラムを受け複数の移動機４へそれぞれ送り、それぞれの移動機４にこの移動機プログラムを格納させて制御を開始させる。
【００３３】
また、移動機リモート制御装置２より自動試験データが送られてきたときにはこの自動試験データを受け自動試験制御手段６に出力する。
【００３４】
図２のステップ２３では、移動機制御装置１の自動試験制御手段６は、ダウンロード制御手段５より自動試験データを受け、この自動試験データ内の試験対象の移動機識別子で示す試験対象の移動機４に対しこの自動試験データ内の試験内容に対応する指示を出力する。
【００３５】
例えば、試験すべき機能には音声発着呼機能、メール機能等が有るが、音声発着呼機能の試験をするときには、試験対象の移動機識別子は例えば第１の移動機４１、試験内容は例えば「第１の移動機４１から第２の移動機４２へ発呼する」であり、このときには、試験対象の移動機４である第１の移動機４１に対し、試験内容の「第１の移動機４１から第２の移動機４２へ発呼する」を指示として出力する。
【００３６】
以後、例として、音声発着呼機能の試験をする場合について記載し、試験対象の移動機識別子は例えば第１の移動機４１、試験内容は例えば「第１の移動機４１から第２の移動機４２へ発呼する」とする。
【００３７】
図２のステップ２４では、第１の移動機４１は、ステップ２３で移動機制御装置１より送られた指示「第１の移動機４１から第２の移動機４２へ発呼する」を制御線を介して受け、この指示にしたがって第２の移動機４２へ発呼する。そして、この発呼処理の具体的な個々の手順と，発生したイベント，発呼処理問題なし又は問題有り等を含む動作履歴を制御線を介して移動機制御装置１に通知する。
【００３８】
図２のステップ２５では、ステップ２４で第１の移動機４１が行った発呼は無線により基地局（不図示）を介し第２の移動機４２に届き、第２の移動機４２が着呼する。第２の移動機４２は、着呼処理を行い具体的な着呼処理の個々の手順と，発生したイベント，着呼処理問題なし又は問題有り等を含む動作履歴を制御線を介して移動機制御装置１に通知する。
【００３９】
図２のステップ２６では、移動機制御装置１の自動試験制御手段６は、ステップ２４とステップ２５とで通知されたそれぞれの動作履歴を受ける。
【００４０】
図２のステップ２７では、移動機制御装置１の自動試験制御手段６は、ステップ２６で受けたそれぞれの動作履歴より問題の有無をそれぞれ判定し、各移動機４毎に、問題有り／無しを示す試験判定、問題の内容、動作履歴を含む試験結果を作成しこれを集計して試験結果ファイルとして記録する。
【００４１】
図２のステップ２８では、移動機制御装置１の自動試験制御手段６は、ステップ２６で受けた動作履歴に対応する試験判定が「問題有り」を示すときに、この問題の発生状況を試験結果ファイルに基づいて調査する。この調査はステップ２３で受けた自動試験データ内の「問題の発生状況の調査内容」にしたがって行う。この「問題の発生状況の調査内容」は、例えば、発生した問題が新規発生なのか、発生した移動機４以外の移動機４でも発生しているのか、この問題の発生頻度はどうか、等であり、これらの項目について調査する。そして、ステップ２９へと続ける。一方、試験判定が「問題無し」を示すときには調査せずにステップ２９へと続ける。
【００４２】
尚、この「問題の発生状況の調査内容」は、試験担当者の指示にしたがい、移動機リモート制御装置２により変更したものを移動機制御装置１のダウンロード制御手段５に送り、ダウンロード制御手段５が自動試験制御手段６に送ることにより変更できる。
【００４３】
図２のステップ２９では、移動機制御装置１の自動試験制御手段６は、ステップ２６で受けた動作履歴と、ステップ２８で調査したときにはこの調査結果を含む試験結果を自動試験実施結果として移動機リモート制御装置２へ送る。
【００４４】
図２のステップ３０では、移動機リモート制御装置２は、ステップ２９で送信された自動試験実施結果を受けて例えばディスプレイ装置に表示することにより開示し、この自動試験実施結果が「問題有り」を示しているときに、試験担当者はこの問題の原因が、移動機プログラムにあるのか、自動試験データにあるのか、通信網にあるのか等を開示内容を参照して判断する。
【００４５】
この問題の原因が、移動機プログラムにあるときには、試験担当者の指示により、移動機プログラムを修正して移動機制御装置１に送りステップ２２へと続ける。
【００４６】
この問題の原因が、自動試験データにあるときには、試験担当者の指示により、自動試験データを修正して移動機制御装置１に送りステップ２２へと続ける。
【００４７】
この問題の原因が、移動機プログラムと自動試験データとにあるときには、試験担当者の指示により、移動機プログラムと自動試験データとを修正して移動機制御装置１に送りステップ２２へと続ける。
【００４８】
この問題の原因が、通信網にあると想定されるときには、試験担当者は通信網設置業者へ報告し改善を依頼し、例えばステップ２１へと続ける。
【００４９】
一方、自動試験実施結果が「問題無し」を示しているときには、試験担当者の指示に従い、他の自動試験を行うための自動試験データを作成しステップ２２へと続ける。自動試験を行わないときには終了する。
【００５０】
以上の説明では、試験対象の移動機４を第１の移動機４１にし、この第１の移動機４１の動作により第２の移動機４２が動作するようにしたが、この第１の移動機４１と第２の移動機４２とは第１の移動機４１と第２の移動機４２とに限らず任意の移動機４であって良い。
【００５１】
また、第１の移動機４１と第２の移動機４２とで音声発着呼機能の試験を行ったが、複数組みの移動機４で音声発着呼機能、メール機能等の機能試験をそれぞれ同時に行っても良い。
【００５２】
更に、一台の移動機４のみに関する機能のときには、この移動機４を上記の第１の移動機４１にし、第２の移動機４２がないものとして移動機試験を行っても良い。
【００５３】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明によれば、移動機リモート制御装置により、移動機プログラムと自動試験データとを作成して移動機リモート制御装置と網により接続した移動機制御装置へ送信し、この自動試験データに対応する試験結果を受けて開示し、この試験結果が「問題有り」のとき、移動機プログラム又は／及び自動試験データを修正して移動機制御装置に送る。移動機制御装置は、移動機プログラムを受け複数の移動機へ送ってこのプログラムを格納させ、自動試験データを受け、試験対象の移動機に対しこの自動試験データで示す指示を出力し、この移動機より動作履歴を受けるとともに、この移動機の動作に応じて動作するこの他の移動機の動作履歴を受け、これらの動作履歴より問題の有無を判定し、問題の発生状況を調査し、試験結果を移動機リモート制御装置へ送る。このため、移動機制御装置により、問題の発生状況を調査して試験結果をこの移動機制御装置と網により接続した移動機リモート制御装置に送信し、移動機リモート制御装置により、この試験結果で報告された問題を修正しこの修正した移動機プログラムや自動試験データを移動機制御装置に送るので、試験対象の移動機を試験するために、移動機の開発部門と試験実施部門が離れた地域で作業することになっても試験実施部門（移動機制御装置）が検出した試験結果の開発部門（移動機リモート制御装置）へのフィードバック、開発部門による、試験実施部門から報告された問題を修正した移動機プログラムの作成とこの作成した移動機プログラムの試験実施部門への適用に時間と人手が掛からず、問題の発生状況の整理が効率的に行える。
