Embodiment Construction

[0016] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0017] The present invention assigns the starting address and space size of the upgrade program to each functional module of the set-top box, and assigns a unique identifier to each functional module. When a certain functional module needs to be upgraded, the upgrade program under the corresponding identifier is downloaded, and after data verification The pre-allocated space of the function module in the storage module of the set-top box is imported to realize software upgrade.

[0018] Such as figure 1 Shown, the method for the set-top box functional module upgrade among the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0019] a. In the storage module of the set-top box, divide the upgrade program starting address and the required space size of each functional module, and this step prepares for a subsequent separate upgrade of a certain functional module of the ...

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of digital televisions, in particular to a method for updating functional modules of a set-top box and carrying out custom update aiming at a single module without influencing the use of other modules. The invention adopts the technical scheme that initial address and space size of an updating program are allocated to each functional module of the set-top box, and a unique mark is allocated to each functional module; when a certain functional module is needed to be updated, the updating program under the corresponding mark is downloaded, and the updating program is imported into a space of the functional module, which is allocated in a set-top box storage module in advance after data verification, therefore, software updating is realized. The invention has the advantages of carrying out custom update aiming at a single functional module without influencing the use of other modules, improving the universality of the set-top box and being suitable for updating functional modules of digital the set-up box.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of digital television, in particular to a method for upgrading a set-top box function module. Background technique [0002] With the advancement of global TV digitization, digital TV set-top boxes have become the main household appliances in many families. Although the main functional modules of the set-top box adopt different schemes, they all have a certain degree of versatility, and there are many common points in the implementation methods, such as: EPG, NVOD, stock, data broadcasting, widget applet, interface style, etc., if A method can be adopted to realize the separate replacement of functional modules, which can greatly improve the market versatility of the set-top box, reduce the production types of products and the later maintenance and upgrading costs. [0003] The current digital set-top boxes can not only meet the basic needs of watching digital TV, but also provide various extended functions,...
