ASSESSMENT OF HARDWARE ITEM VALUE AND CONDITION THROUGH GUIDED DIAGNOSTICS

摘要

A computer implemented method of estimating a value of a network connected mobile devi ce, comprising:1) Using a client diagnostics software tool executed by a network connected mobile device for:(a) P resenti ng a user i nterface to a testi ng user.(b) Guiding the testing user to perform one or more functional operations to one or more of a plurality of hardware components that are integrated in the network connected mobile device.(c) Recordi ng a result captured by the one or more hardware components duri ng the functi onal operations.(d) Forwarding automatically the result to a remote central unit for an analysis to evaluate a condition of the one or more hardware component.(e) Presenting one or more viewing users with an estimated value of the network connected mobile device. The estimated value is calculated by the remote central unit based on the condition of the one o more hardware components.
