Abstract
Various embodiments provide an input test tool that promotes precision testing, flexibility and repeatability over a wide variety of functionality tests that are utilized in both touch and near-touch input scenarios. The input test tool enables a variety of degrees of motion, including both linear and rotational motion, so that a device under test can be tested utilizing a number of different linear and/or rotational input scenarios.
Claims20
An input testing tool comprising:
- a frame;
- a platform rotatably mounted on the frame and configured to receive a device under test for testing the device under test and to rotate during testing of the device under test;
- an actuator assembly mounted on the frame and configured to removably receive one or more actuators, individual actuators being configured to test the device under test using touch and/or near touch testing scenarios,
- wherein the testing tool is configured to enable the testing scenarios using at least one linear motion of the actuator assembly and at least one rotational motion of the actuator assembly.
An input testing tool comprising:
- a frame;
- a platform rotatably mounted on the frame and configured to receive a device under test for testing a display device of the device under test and to rotate during testing of the device under test;
- and
- an actuator assembly mounted on the frame and configured to removably receive one or more actuators, individual actuators being configured to test a display device using touch and/or near touch testing scenarios relative to the display device, wherein the testing tool is configured to enable the testing scenarios using multiple linear motions of the actuator assembly.
An input testing tool comprising:
- a frame;
- a platform operably mounted on the frame and configured to receive a device under test for testing a display device of the device under test and to rotate during testing of the device under test;
- an actuator assembly mounted on the frame and configured to removably receive one or more actuators, individual actuators being configured to test a display device using touch and/or near touch testing scenarios relative to the display device;
- a plurality of actuators configured to be removably mounted on the actuator assembly;
- wherein the testing tool is configured to enable the testing scenarios using multiple rotational motions and multiple linear motions, the multiple rotational motions comprising at least rotational motion of the platform relative to the frame, and rotational motion of the actuator assembly relative to the platform;
- the linear motions comprising motion in the x, y, and z directions.
