Abstract:
1. A method for testing one or more user applications generated by a computing apparatus and executed in a media playback apparatus, the method comprising steps of: (a) at the computing apparatus, executing an application provision program to provide a user application to the media playback apparatus; and (b) at the media playback apparatus, executing a developer application to test the user application, wherein the step (a) comprises steps of: (a-1) transmitting information about the one or more user applications to the media playback apparatus in response to a user application information request of the media playback apparatus, which is received from the media playback apparatus; (a-2) receiving a user application request for a user application, which is selected by the media playback apparatus from the one or more user applications, from the media playback apparatus; and (a-3) transmitting the user application selected by the media playback apparatus to the media playback apparatus in response to the user application request, and wherein the step (b) comprises steps of: (b-1) transmitting the user application information request to the computing apparatus; (b-2) receiving the information about the user applications transmitted from the computing apparatus; (b-3) transmitting the user application request to the computing apparatus; (b-4) receiving the user application transmitted from the computing apparatus; and (b-5) executing the received user application to test the same by the developer application executed at the media playback apparatus, wherein the step (b) further comprises steps of: (b-6) transmitting only once debugging information generated by executing the selected user application to the computing apparatus; and (b-7) broadcasting a configuration request for configuration information of the computing apparatus to the computing apparatus before the step (b-1), and wherein the step (a) further comprises steps of: (a-4) receiving only once the debugging information from the media playback apparatus; and (a-5) transmitting the configuration information to the media playback apparatus in response to the configuration request before the step (a-1).
