Embodiment Construction

[0020] figure 1 One structure is shown for determining the status of computing device 110 , which is in communication with communication server 120 , update details server 125 , and patch server 130 via communication network 135 . Communication server 120 also communicates with patch availability server 140 . Patch availability server 140 and update details server 125 are in communication with database 145 , which are also in communication with management server 150 . Communication server 120, update details server 125, patch server 130, patch availability server 140, database 145 and management server 150 may communicate via at least one communication network. In some embodiments, the at least one communication network may include communication network 135 , while in other embodiments, the at least one communication network may be different than communication network 135 . In some embodiments, the at least one communication network may include at least one of a local area n...

Abstract

According to embodiments described in the specification, a method, and apparatus for updating the state of a computing device by first receiving a message processable by the computing device, the message comprising data for instructing the computing device to request at least one update file from at least one remote computing entity, the at least one update file for updating a file resident on the computing device; and processing the message to effect updating of the computing device.

Description

technical field [0001] This specification relates generally to software updates, and more particularly to a method and apparatus for updating the state of a computing device. Background technique [0002] Installing software updates on a computing device is often problematic due to the bandwidth available to transmit the software update to the computing device and the computing power of the computing device itself. Generally, when installing a software update on a computing device, the older version of the software is uninstalled first. In other words, the old version of the software is completely removed from the computing device before the new version of the software is installed. [0003] For many computing devices, including mobile and / or wireless computing devices, this can be problematic due to the large amount of data that must be transmitted to and processed by the computing device. Indeed, in many cases, the bandwidth available to transmit new software versions to...
