Abstract
A method for testing an automated interactive media system. The method can include establishing a communication session with the automated interactive media system. In response to receiving control and/or media information from the automated interactive media system, pre-recorded control and/or media information can be propagated to the automated interactive media system. The pre-recorded control and/or media information can be recorded in real time.
Claims16
A computer program product comprising a computer usable storage device having stored therein computer usable program code for testing an automated interactive media system, the computer usable program code, which when executed by a computer hardware system, causes the computer hardware system to perform:
- establishing a first communication session between an information player and the automated interactive media system;
- and
- responsive to the information player receiving control information or media information from the automated interactive media system during the first communication session, propagating, from the information player to the automated interactive media system, at least one set of information selected from the group consisting of
- pre-recorded control information that was recorded in real time, and
- pre-recorded media information that was recorded in real time, wherein the computer usable storage device is not a transitory, propagating signal per se.
A computer program product comprising a computer usable storage device having stored therein computer usable program code for testing automated interactive media systems, the computer usable program code, which when executed by a computer hardware system, causes the computer hardware system to perform:
- during a communication session between a media device and an interactive automated media system:
- recording media information exchanged between the media device and the interactive automated media system;
- and
- recording control information exchanged between the media device and the interactive automated media system, wherein
- the computer usable storage device is not a transitory, propagating signal per se.
A computer hardware system for testing an automated interactive media system, comprising:
- a processor, wherein the processor is configured to perform and/or initiate:
- establishing a first communication session between an information player and the automated interactive media system;
- and
- responsive to the information player receiving control information or media information from the automated interactive media system during the first communication session, propagating, from the information player to the automated interactive media system, at least one set of information selected from the group consisting of
- pre-recorded control information that was recorded in real time, and
- pre-recorded media information that was recorded in real time.
