US 2007/0168503 A1 · Method and apparatus for testing ubiquitous service or device using uniform object model

Abstract

An apparatus and method for testing a ubiquitous service or a ubiquitous device using a uniform object model are provided. Because a virtual ubiquitous environment is constructed with devices, services, users, layouts, and the like, physical construction of the ubiquitous environment to test services or devices is not needed. Therefore, the effectiveness of the ubiquitous device or service can be confirmed without requiring a ubiquitous environment to be physically constructed. Additionally, time or cost of constructing a ubiquitous environment can be reduced. Because a variety of environments can be easily constructed through the test of devices or services, the performances of the devices or services can also be improved.

Dependent claims

An apparatus for testing ubiquitous service or a ubiquitous device, comprising:

a profile manager for storing and managing profile information set by a user;
a user interface for determining the profile information and for determining a device and a service to test;
and
an engine emulator for generating uniform objects with respect to the device and the service based on the profile information, for emulating the uniform objects based on the unit of at least one of a time or an event, for perceiving a current status according to status changes in the uniform objects, and for generating a display to a user interface when an abnormality occurs.
