Abstract:
1. A parameter measurement system, for measuring parameters accessible by mobile communications equipment which communicates over a communication network from a site which is geographically remote from other components of the communication network, the mobile communications equipment employing multiple functions selectable for use by the user, the system comprising: an agent, included within the mobile communications equipment, which: (i) a transducer for sensing user behavior; (ii) sets of parameters suitable for different network technologies, including a parameter set from which parameters are selected for measurement based on the sensed user behavior: (iii) means for measuring predetermined parameters of operation of the uses of the mobile equipment at the geographically remote site by the user, the measuring means including means for associating, with a parameter measurement, at least one of (i) a date, and (ii) a time, of the parameter measurement; (iv) means for changing measurement parameters to make parameter measurements appropriate for a detected change of use of the mobile communications equipment; and (v) a transmitter for transmitting measured parameters over the communication network, wherein (a) the transducer comprises (i) a user interface sensor for sensing user manipulation of a user input interface, and (ii) an interpreter for interpreting when user manipulations of the user input interface represent a command for employing a function of the mobile communications equipment; and (b) the agent configures parameter sensing responsive to the representation interpreted by the interpreter.
