## Abstract

An apparatus and method for simultaneously testing a plurality of mobile devices is disclosed. The method for simultaneously testing a plurality of mobile devices generally includes simultaneously executing a test mobile device application on the plurality of mobile devices, determining test mobile device application results for the plurality of mobile devices at a plurality of test computers, sending a test mobile device application results from the plurality of mobile devices to the plurality of test computers, and deleting the test mobile device application on the plurality of mobile devices.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for simultaneously testing a plurality of mobile devices, comprising:
executing, using a first test computer, a first test application on a first mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices;
executing, using a second test computer, a second test application on a second mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices, wherein the second test application is different than the first test application;
receiving, at a control computer, first test results from the first test application and second test results from the second test application;
displaying, on a monitor, the first test results and the second test results; and
deleting the first test application from the first mobile device and the second test application from the second mobile device.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising performing a pixel detection analysis of a screen of the first mobile device by detecting changes in pixel RGB values of the screen using a two camera system.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the control computer simultaneously receives the first test results and the second test results.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the monitor simultaneously displays the first test results and the second test results.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the first test application is deleted from the first mobile device and the second test application is deleted from the second mobile device simultaneously.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the first test computer comprises a first processor and a first non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a plurality of mobile device test applications.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The method of claim 6, wherein the second test computer comprises a second processor and a second non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing the plurality of mobile device test applications.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7, wherein the plurality of mobile device test applications includes the first test application and the second test application.

### Claim 9

A method for simultaneously testing a plurality of mobile devices, comprising:
executing, using a first test computer, a first test application on a first mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices;
executing, using a second test computer, a second test application on a second mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices, wherein the second test application is different than the first test application;
executing, using a third test computer, a third test application on a third mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices, wherein the third test application is the same as the first test application;
receiving, at a control computer, first test results from the first test application, second test results from the second test application, and third test results from the third test application;
displaying, on a monitor, the first test results, the second test results, and the third test results; and
deleting the first test application from the first mobile device, the second test application from the second mobile device, and the third test application from the third mobile device.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, further comprising performing a pixel detection analysis of a screen of the first mobile device by detecting changes in pixel RGB values of the screen using a two camera system.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, wherein the control computer simultaneously receives at least two of the first test results, the second test results, and the third test results.

### Claim 12 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, wherein the monitor simultaneously displays at least two of the first test results, the second test results, and the third test results.

### Claim 13 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, wherein at least two of the first test application, the second test application, and the third test application are deleted simultaneously.

### Claim 14 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, wherein the first test computer comprises a first processor and a first non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a plurality of mobile device test applications.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

The method of claim 14, wherein the second test computer comprises a second processor and a second non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing the plurality of mobile device test applications.

### Claim 16 (depends on 14)

The method of claim 14, wherein the third test computer comprises a third processor and a third non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing the plurality of mobile device test applications.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The method of claim 16, wherein the plurality of mobile device test applications includes the first test application, the second test application, and the third test application.
