Abstract

The invention discloses a software upgrade method and a system thereof. The system comprises a software download server, a PC and mobile terminal equipment. The method comprises the following steps: (1) the software download server configures a new upgrade installation package, including new firmware and corresponding new PC side software; and the PC downloads the new upgrade installation package when upgrade is detected to be necessary; and (2) the PC installs the new upgrade installation package, and stores the new PC side software and the new firmware on the PC; and when the mobile terminal equipment is connected to the PC, the new firmware is guided to an RAM zone of the mobile terminal equipment for execution and update. In the method and the system, the upgrade installation package which comprises the firmware and the PC side software is downloaded and installed by the PC, thus implementing overall upgrade of the mobile terminal equipment firmware and the PC side software, causing the firmware to be separated from the mobile terminal equipment and then storing the firmware in the PC, and reducing overhead of a large-capacity non-volatile memory.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication, in particular to a method and system for realizing software upgrade of the entire mobile terminal equipment. Background technique [0002] For a mobile terminal device, software upgrades are necessary. This kind of software upgrade helps to improve the function of the equipment and solve the fault. Similarly, for a software running on a PC, upgrading is also a very important function. In comparison, the software upgrade on the PC is faster and more convenient. [0003] Currently, there are two ways to upgrade the software of mobile terminal equipment: one is to upgrade to the after-sales service provider of the device; the other is to download the latest firmware from the Internet to upgrade. One of these two upgrade schemes is expensive, and the other is insecure. The latest upgrade is to upgrade via OTA (over-the-Air, over-the-air download). [0004] In the current OTA upgrade, OMA DM (...
