Filed:

Nov 29, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/289247

Inventors:

Adam Jonathan Shapiro - Seattle WA, US
Dieter G. Achtelstetter - Redmond WA, US
Travis J. Martin - Kirkland WA, US

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06F 11/00

US Classification:

702188, 702119, 702123, 717124

Abstract:

A target test framework and method are provided which can enable scenario writer(s) to design and implement driver test(s) by providing a platform to build scenario-based automated tests for device(s) and device driver(s) by using a set of components designed for target testing. The framework enables scenario writer(s) to perform a set of actions across different types device(s). The framework further enables the testing of technology areas common to many targets (e. g. , plug and play, power management, install/uninstall, security etc. ). Additionally, the framework facilitates automatic identification and/or running of prewritten core functionality test that apply to a particular device. The framework further can allow runtime control of tests and the combining of framework components to form new device functionality tests and large scale scenarios.

International Classification:

H04B 7/00

US Classification:

455 412

Abstract:

Embodiments include processes, systems, and devices for initiating proximity actions upon the activation of a proximity connection. A proximity service receives an indication from a proximity provider that a proximity connection is established, and then determines a joint proximity context of the proximity connection. The proximity service then initiates a proximity action to facilitate a proximity function indicated by the joint proximity context. Joint proximity contexts include indications that an application has queued content to be shared with a proximity device, that an application has registered to publish messages on a namespace, that an application has subscribed to messages on a namespace, that an application has registered to find a peer application on a proximity device to enable multi-user collaboration, and that a device seeks to pair with another device.
