BENCHMARKING MOBILE DEVICES

摘要

According to aspects of the invention there are provided methods and apparatus for monitoring, analysing and/or optimising the performance of a mobile device. The mobile device includes a memory with computer readable instructions stored thereon associated with a diagnostic application, which when executed on a processor, has a first level of permissions for accessing the mobile device, and associated with a performance monitoring component, which when executed on the processor, has a second level of permissions for accessing the mobile device. The diagnostic application and performance monitoring component communicate to retrieve performance-related data associated with execution of an application on the mobile device, where the performance-related data is accessible using the second level of permissions. The diagnostic application receives and stores performance related data from the performance monitoring component for analysing and/or optimising the performance of the mobile device executing the application.

1. A computer-implemented method for monitoring performance of a mobile device, the mobile device comprising a memory and a processor, the memory including computer readable instructions stored thereon associated with a diagnostic application, which when executed on the processor, has a first level of permissions for accessing the mobile device, and a performance monitoring component, which when executed on the processor, has a second level of permissions for accessing the mobile device, the method comprising:
at the diagnostic application on the mobile device:
sending a monitoring request to the performance monitoring component to retrieve performance-related data associated with execution of an application on the mobile device, wherein the performance-related data is accessible using the second level of permissions;receiving and storing performance related data from the performance monitoring component for analysing the performance of the mobile device executing the application; at the performance monitoring component on the mobile device:
receiving the monitoring request from the diagnostic application to retrieve the performance-related data associated with the mobile device;monitoring and storing the performance-related data accessible with second level of permissions of the mobile device during execution of the application; andsending the performance-related data to the diagnostic application for analysing the performance of the mobile device executing the application.
