20090037885EMULATING EXECUTION OF DIVERGENT PROGRAM EXECUTION PATHS - Methods, systems, and computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, perform methods in accordance with embodiments hereof, for emulating execution of divergent program execution paths to determine whether any “would be” program defects exist in a particular divergent program execution path and/or to determine the nature of such “would be” program defects are provided. The dynamic execution state (e.g., register values and memory locations) of a program being executed is cloned at a point of potential divergence and a virtual processor having the same dynamic execution state is generated. Subsequently, utilizing the virtual processor, a test trace is initiated along the divergent program execution path and information gathered during the test trace is analyzed to identify any program defects that may have occurred had the program execution followed the divergent path.02-05-2009

20100010700MAPPING IN MOBILE DATA COLLECTION SYSTEMS, SUCH AS FOR UTILITY METER READING AND RELATED APPLICATIONS - A mobile data collection system may perform or facilitate monitoring and management of mobile automatic meter reading (MAMR) activities via out of route meter read identification and graphical route playback. In identifying out of route endpoints, the mobile data collection system receives an indication of each of the endpoints included in a predetermined meter reading route. The mobile data collection system executes the route detecting endpoints and collecting location information relating to out of route endpoints that are not included in the predetermined route. Location information identifying the out of route endpoints is then presented to a user. In facilitating graphical route playback, the mobile data collection system collects information as it progresses through the route. The collected information may then be used in a graphical playback of the route, which shows the mobile data collection system dynamically traveling through the route (e.g., on a map) and reading endpoints.01-14-2010
