Unified updating management system for set-top box downloading document

Abstract

The invention discloses a system for unified upgrade management of set-top box loader files. The technical proposal is as follows: the system includes a server for receiving and storing loader files and upgrading and broadcasting the loader files according to received broadcast instructions; For managing and dispatching the client of the loader file and a database storing the loader record, the client also includes a configuration management module, which transmits the loader file to the server for storage, and at the same time sets the loader record for upgrading the broadcast according to the loader file and stores it be transmitted to store in the database; and the broadcast scheduling module selects the loader file of the required upgrade broadcast from the database for all loader records of the upgrade broadcast, sets the parameters of the loader file upgrade broadcast, and sends the broadcast instruction to the server, and simultaneously according to The parameter exports the descriptor of the currently upgraded loader file. The invention is applied to the field of software upgrade of the set-top box system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a system for unified management of software upgrade broadcast, in particular to a system for unified management of set-top box system software upgrade broadcast. Background technique [0002] With the development of digital TV, the manufacturers and versions of digital TV set-top boxes in the network are gradually increasing, and the software version upgrade of set-top boxes has become an important problem that digital TV networks need to face. Service upgrades, opening new value-added applications, and solving software defects in set-top boxes all require software upgrades for set-top boxes. [0003] The existing software upgrade of the set-top box mainly adopts the following three methods. The first way is that each manufacturer uses its own loader broadcast system. In this case, if the operator needs to upgrade the software of a new set-top box manufacturer, it needs to purchase the manufacturer's loader broadcast separatel...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The first way is that each manufacturer uses its own loader broadcast system. In this case, if the operator needs to upgrade the software of a new set-top box manufacturer, it needs to purchase the manufacturer’s loader broadcast separately. system, leading to an increase in investment

The second method is that each manufacturer only provides code streams, but needs to insert its own defined descriptors in the network information table NIT (Network Information Table). Descriptors between various manufacturers cannot be used in common, thus increasing the burden on the EPG system

The third method is that each manufacturer broadcasts through its own CA system, so it is difficult to add the function of selective upgrade according to the batch number of the set-top box according to the requirements of the operator.
