US 2025/0028503 A1 · AUDIO INJECTION IN REMOTE DEVICE INFRASTRUCTURE

Abstract

A remote test infrastructure can enable a developer to use a local browser to run and test an application on a remote device. The remote device is coupled to a host machine and connected via a communication network to the browser. The infrastructure can stream a video feed of the display of the remote device to the browser, enabling the developer to examine the result of testing and development of the application running on the remote device. For applications that have features requiring audio input, the infrastructure can pair an external component, such as the host machine, as a virtual audio input device, mimicking an external microphone. The virtual audio input device can capture an audio file or an audio stream and provide the audio as input to the application running on the remote device thereby simulating the application receiving an input from an external microphone.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

in a communication network between a browser and a remote device, through a host machine coupled to the remote device, via a first connection, and an operating system of the remote device having an audio input corresponding to a microphone of the remote device,
pairing the host machine to the remote device via a secondary connection, wherein the host machine is paired as an external audio input of the remote device, via the secondary connection, wherein the audio input of the remote device is switchable between the host machine and the microphone of the remote device, wherein when the audio input of the remote device is switched to the host machine, the operating system of the remote device is configured to receive audio from the host machine;
receiving, at the host machine, an audio file from the browser;
and
relaying the audio file from the host machine to the remote device via the secondary connection.

A non-transitory computer storage medium that stores executable program instructions that, when executed by one or more computing devices, configure the one or more computing devices to perform operations comprising:

in a communication network between a browser and a remote device, through a host machine coupled to the remote device, via a first connection, and an operating system of the remote device having an audio input corresponding to a microphone of the remote device,
pairing the host machine to the remote device via a secondary connection, wherein the host machine is paired as an external audio input of the remote device, via the secondary connection, wherein the audio input of the remote device is switchable between the host machine and the microphone of the remote device, wherein when the audio input of the remote device is switched to the host machine, the operating system of the remote device is configured to receive audio from the host machine;
receiving, at the host machine, an audio file from the browser;
and
relaying the audio file from the host machine to the remote device via the secondary connection.
