Abstract
Systems and methods provide for simulating an effective human touch on a touch screen sensor of a touch screen system. Touch simulation involves interaction with, or cooperation between, a subject touch screen system and a remote system via a communication or network link. Remote touch simulation typically involves establishing a communication link between the touch screen system and a remote location, simulating a touch to the touch screen sensor, and communicating data associated with simulating the touch between the touch screen system and the remote location via the communication link. Remote touch simulation can be employed to perform various types of diagnostics, calibration, and repair procedures.
