1. A system for measuring power consumption by a mobile device corresponding to access of web pages, the system comprising:
the mobile device, configured to access web pages via a wireless network; a power measurement device connected to a battery of the mobile device, configured to measure parameters related to power consumption; and a server, in communication with the mobile device and the power measurement device, configured to control the mobile device's access of web pages and control the power measurement device's measurement of parameters, to receive measurements from the power measurement device, and to process the received measurements; wherein the server is further configured to determine an amount of power consumed by the mobile device with respect, to an individual web element of a web page by:
generating a copy of the web page at the server;instructing the mobile device to access the copy of the web page at the server and determining an amount of power consumed by the mobile device corresponding to the mobile device's access of the copy of the web page at the server;generating a modified copy of the web page at the server missing the individual web element;instructing the mobile device to access the modified copy of the web page at the server and determining an amount of power consumed by the mobile device corresponding to the mobile device's access of the modified copy of the web pane at the server; anddetermining a difference between the amount of power consumed by the mobile device corresponding to the mobile device's access of the copy of the web page at the server and the amount of power consumed by the mobile device corresponding to the mobile device's access of the modified copy of the web page at the server.
