Problems solved by technology

The longer it takes to receive data, the greater the probability of power outages and errors in equipment such as set-top boxes, and the easier it is to cause upgrade failures
Especially with the continuous increase of device software functions, more and more program codes, and more and more upgrade file data, if the traditional slow upgrade method is still used to receive data for software upgrade, the problem of upgrade failure will occur. Especially prominent, seriously affecting the normal operation of the equipment

Embodiment Construction

[0025] The technical solutions of the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] figure 1 Shown is a basic flowchart of an embodiment of the software upgrading method of the present invention. In this embodiment, the set-top box is used as the device to be upgraded, and the basic process of performing software upgrade on the set-top box through the PC is as follows:

[0027] S101: Using the set-top box as a client and the PC as a server, establish a socket-based network link between the set-top box and the PC.

[0028] S102: The PC transmits the upgrade file to the set-top box through a socket-based network link.

[0029] S103: The set-top box receives the upgrade file, and updates its program memory.

[0030] The specific process of upgrading file transfer in the above embodiment is as follows: figure 2 shown. Taking the PC as the server and the set-top box as the client as...

Abstract

The invention discloses a software upgrading method and an upgrading device. The method comprises the following steps: equipment to be upgraded is taken as a client side, a PC is taken as a server side, and socket-based network link is established between the equipment to be upgraded and the PC; the PC transmits an upgraded file to the equipment to be upgraded through the socket-based network link; and the equipment to be upgraded receives the upgraded file and updates a program memory thereof. In the upgrading method, the equipment to be upgraded is taken as the client side based on socket programming, thus achieving software upgrading for a plurality of client sides through a network, and improving the software upgrading efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a software upgrading method and an upgrading device, in particular to a method and a device for upgrading software through a network. Background technique [0002] At present, most embedded devices such as digital set-top boxes and mobile phones upgrade software through serial ports or OTA (Over the Air) method. No matter whether the software is upgraded through the serial port or OTA, there is a problem that the speed of receiving the upgrade file data is slow, and an upgrade file may take several minutes to be received. The longer it takes to receive data, the greater the probability of power outages and errors in equipment such as set-top boxes, and the easier it is to cause upgrade failures. Especially with the continuous increase of device software functions, more and more program codes, and more and more upgrade file data, if the traditional slow upgrade method is still used to receive data for software upgrade, the prob...
