Abstract

The invention is suitable for the digital television field, and provides a software updating method, a system, a digital television receiving terminal and a server. The method comprises the following steps: a software upgrading request is transmitted to the server according to the input request from the user; an upgrading strategy file sent by the server is received; the upgrading strategy file runs, and an upgrading file downloading request is transmitted to the server; and the upgrading file sent by the server is received, and the data updating and the software upgrading are performed. In the embodiment of the invention, since the software updating strategy method is obtained from the server, the upgrading file is downloaded from the server, the stability of the terminal device is enhanced, the time of leaving the factory for the terminal device is reduced, and meanwhile, the invention can perform software upgrading flexibly and safely.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of digital television, and in particular relates to a software upgrading method, system, digital television receiving terminal and server. Background technique

[0002] At present, many terminal devices can automatically complete the software upgrade work. The terminal device sends the version number to the upgrade server, and the upgrade server matches the version number to issue an upgrade command and download file path, and the terminal device starts to upgrade.

[0003] There are following disadvantages in the present existing way of automatically completing the upgrading work:

[0004] 1. If the download file protocol changes, such as using the latest download technology, the current method will not be able to upgrade normally;

[0005] 2. If the requirements change in the future, if the version number is not used as a sign to judge whether to upgrade, the current method will not be able to upgrade normally; ...

Embodiment Construction

[0034] In order to make the object, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present invention, not to limit the present invention.

[0035] figure 1 A schematic diagram of the implementation of the software upgrade method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is shown, and the detailed steps are as follows:

[0036] 1. The terminal device starts up and receives the user's input requirements, that is, the terminal system resets or the user manually triggers.

[0037] 2. Send a software upgrade request to the server according to the user's input request.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present invention, a simple upgrade client software is built into the terminal device, as long as the software can download files...
