Method, apparatus, and system for testing terminal

A system for testing a terminal, comprising:

• a terminal, a master controller, a first repeater, and a second repeater;
• the terminal being provided with a plurality of card channels, with each of the plurality of card channels having a card channel identifier, which is a unique identifier for each of the plurality of card channels;
• and the plurality of card channels comprising:
• contactless card channels configured to accommodate contactless cards, respectively, and contact card channels configured to accommodate contact cards, respectively;
• wherein
• the terminal is configured for:
• sending a smart card switching instruction and a data request for terminal test;
• the master controller is configured for:
• receiving the smart card switching instruction;
• acquiring a card channel identifier from the smart card switching instruction;
• determining according to the card channel identifier whether a contactless card channel or a contact card channel is to be switched to, and switching according to the card channel identifier a connected-card channel to a target card channel corresponding to the card channel identifier, wherein the connected-card channel is a card channel that is being connected with the master controller currently, and the target card channel is a card channel that is to be connected with the master controller;
• and
• receiving a data request for a terminal test;
• the first relay repeater is configured for:
• acquiring response data in response to the data request, from a smart card to be tested within the target card channel, and sending the response data to the master controller;
• and
• the second relay repeater is configured for:
• sending the response data forwarded by the master controller to the terminal whereby accomplishing the terminal test.

A computer device, comprising:

• a memory;
• a processor;
• and
• a computer program, stored by the memory and running on the processor, and configured for implementing a method for testing a terminal, when being executed by the processor;
• wherein
• the method is applied to a master controller;
• the terminal is provided with a plurality of card channels, with each of the plurality of card channels having a card channel identifier, which is a unique identifier for each of the plurality of card channels;
• and the plurality of card channels comprises:
• contactless card channels configured to accommodate contactless cards, respectively, and contact card channels configured to accommodate contact cards, respectively;
• the method comprises:
• receiving, by the master controller, a smart card switching instruction sent from the terminal;
• acquiring, by the master controller, a card channel identifier from the smart card switching instruction;
• determining, by the master controller, according to the card channel identifier whether a contactless card channel or a contact card channel is to be switched to, and switching, by the master controller, according to the card channel identifier, a connected-card channel to a target card channel corresponding to the card channel identifier, wherein the connected-card channel is a card channel that is being connected with the master controller currently, and the target card channel is a card channel that is to be connected with the master controller;
• receiving, by the master controller, a data request for a terminal test sent from the terminal;
• acquiring, by the master controller, through a first relay repeater, response data in response to the data request, from a smart card to be tested within the target card channel;
• and
• sending, by the master controller, through a second relay repeater, the response data to the terminal whereby accomplishing the terminal test.
