Client device and remote updating method and remote updating service system thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a client device and a remote updating method and a remote updating service system thereof, and the method comprises the following steps: the client device downloads an update file from a TFTP server through an air interface according to the trivial file transfer protocol (TFTP); the client device parses the downloaded update file and obtains parameter configuration information and firmware update information from the update file; the determination of whether the firmware update is needed or not is carried out according to the firmware update information, if so, a firmware version file is downloaded from a firmware version server and the firmware update is carried out; and the determination of whether the parameter update is needed or not according to the parameter configuration information, if so, new parameter values in the parameter configuration information are used for updating the corresponding parameters. The client device comprises a TFTP client, an update file parser and a firmware updating module. The remote updating service system comprises an update file generator, the TFTP server and the firmware version server. The invention realizes the low-cost remote management of the client device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to equipment remote management, in particular to a client equipment, a remote upgrade method thereof, and a remote upgrade service system. Background technique [0002] At present, wireless CPE (Customer premise equipment) equipment is developing rapidly, and there are many wireless standards to choose from. Compared with wired networks, wireless network deployment is simple and the cost is low, which provides some small operators with Chance. [0003] The remote management protocols for terminal products currently mainly include TR069 (CPE WAN Management Protocol, CPE Wide Area Network Management Protocol) and OMA DM (OMA Device Management Protocol, OMA Device Management Protocol; OMA, Open Mobile Alliance, an industry alliance for mobile phones and mobile communications, its purpose is Provide comprehensive standardization support for mobile phones, mobile terminal equipment and mobile communication industries). Although the f...

Problems solved by technology

Although the functions implemented by these two protocols are powerful, they also have complex management processes and huge parameter models, so their server software and client software are relatively expensive.

[0004] For some small operators, it is obviously inappropriate to adopt powerful and expensive protocols such as TR069 or OMA DM, because the total amount of operating equipment is relatively small, so the cost of server and client software is shared equally among each The equipment will be relatively large, which is not conducive to the promotion of its business
