US 10691579

US Patent 10691579, titled "Systems including device and network simulation for mobile application development," was granted to Wapp Tech Corp. on June 23, 2020. The sole inventor is Donavan P. Poulin. The application for this patent was filed on March 28, 2016.

Abstract:
The patent describes a system, method, and software for emulating and profiling an application designed for a mobile device. It involves emulating the mobile device using a model based on its performance characteristics, then playing and monitoring the application within this model to determine the application's resource utilization for that specific mobile device.

Plain-Language Overview of Independent Claims:

• Independent Claim 1 (Method): This claim describes a method for testing mobile applications. It involves loading detailed information about a mobile device's performance, creating a virtual model of that mobile device using this information, running an application within this virtual model, and then observing how much of the mobile device's resources (like CPU, memory) the application uses.
• Independent Claim 12 (System): This claim outlines a computer system designed to perform the method described in Claim 1. It includes a processor and memory, with instructions that enable the system to load mobile device characteristics, emulate the device, play an application within the emulation, and monitor its resource usage.
• Independent Claim 23 (Non-Transitory Computer Readable Medium): This claim covers a computer-readable storage medium (like a hard drive or solid-state drive) that contains instructions. When a processor executes these instructions, it performs the steps of loading mobile device performance characteristics, creating an emulated model of the mobile device, running an application in this model, and monitoring the application's resource utilization.
