Abstract
Mobile test reader is disclosed. Reader receives, with wireless transceiver, test-specific plug-in from external entity, configures test reader application with plug-in, and takes, with digital camera controlled by application configured with plug-in, image data depicting output area of test. Furthermore, reader, under control of application configured with plug-in, performs at least one of following: transmits, with transceiver, image data to external entity; generates, with application configured with plug-in, test result for test on the basis of image data; transmits, with transceiver, test result to external entity; outputs, with user interface, test result.
Claims15
A mobile test reader apparatus comprising
- a digital camera,
- a wireless transceiver,
- a user interface,
- one or more processors, and
- one or more memories including computer program code,
- the one or more memories and the computer program code configured to, with the one or more processors, cause the mobile test reader apparatus at least to perform:
- receive, with the wireless transceiver, a test-specific plug-in from an external entity;
- configure a test reader application with the test-specific plug-in;
- and
- take, with the digital camera controlled by the test reader application configured with the test-specific plug-in, image data depicting an output area of a test;
- and, the one or more memories and the computer program code are further configured to, with the one or more processors, under the control of the test reader application configured with the test-specific plug-in, cause the mobile test reader apparatus further to perform at least one of the following:
- transmit, with the wireless transceiver, the image data to an external entity;
- generate, with the test reader application configured with the test-specific plug-in, a test result for the test on the basis of the image data;
- transmit, with the wireless transceiver, the test result to an external entity;
- output, with the user interface, the test result.
A computer-readable non-transitory medium comprising computer program code of a test reader application and a test-specific plug-in, which computer program code, when executed on a mobile test reader apparatus, causes the mobile test reader apparatus to:
- receive, with a wireless transceiver, a test-specific plug-in from an external entity;
- configure a test reader application with the test-specific plug-in;
- and
- take, with a digital camera controlled by the test reader application configured with the test-specific plug-in, image data depicting an output area of a test;
- and at least one of the following:
- transmit, with the wireless transceiver, the image data to an external entity;
- generate, with the test reader application configured with the test-specific plug-in, a test result for the test on the basis of the image data;
- transmit, with the wireless transceiver, the test result to an external entity;
- output, with the user interface, the test result.
