Patent ID: 8874953

Claim:
A system for cloud testing and remote monitoring of an integrated circuit (IC) component during validation of a computerized system that includes the IC component, the IC component having a unique component code, the computerized system further including a system platform that has a unique system code, said system comprising: a cloud server including a database unit for storing identification data, which includes a plurality of system identification codes and a plurality of component identification codes, an identification operating system (OS) program, a driver, a plurality of test OSs associated respectively with the system identification codes, and a plurality of test programs, each of the component identification codes being associated with at least one of the test programs, and a processing unit connected electrically to said database unit; wherein, when each of said cloud server and the computerized system establishes a connection with a wide area network, said processing unit of said cloud sever is operable to transmit the identification OS program and the driver stored in said database unit to the computerized system via the wide area network upon establishing a connection with the computerized system in response to receipt of a connection request from the computerized system via the wide area network such that the computerized system is configured to transmit the system code of the system platform and the component code of the IC component to said processing unit of said cloud server via the wide area network in response to execution of the identification OS program and the driver, determine whether a match exists in the identification data stored in said database unit with the system code of the system platform and the component code of the IC component, and if a match exists, transmit one of the test OSs that is associated with a corresponding one of the system identification codes to which the system code of the system platform matches and at least one of the test programs that is associated with a corresponding one of the component identification codes to which the component code of the IC component matches to the computerized system via the wide area network test such that the computerized system is configured to produce test data corresponding to said at least one of the test programs in response to execution of said one of the test OSs and said at least one of the test programs.
