Method for dynamically upgrading functions of set top box

Abstract

The invention provides a method for dynamically upgrading functions of a set top box, comprising the steps of: respectively defining some basic functions of the set top box to be corresponding script program files, setting a plurality of corresponding resource files according to the basic functions of the set top box, compressing each resource file and the corresponding script program file to generate a plurality of functional file packages, storing the functional file packages in flash storage of the set top box, when certain functions is required to be upgraded by a user, guiding a corresponding functional file package into a memory space by a main program of the set top box, analyzing by a script analysis engine, and completing the functional upgrade operation for the set top box by analyzing and invoking a basic functional function of the set top box and combining the resource files in the functional packages. By means of the method provided by the invention, the problem that whena program function is required to be upgraded by a user, the entire programs of the traditional digital television set top box are bound to be upgraded and the favorite function cannot be independently selected and upgraded is solved, and meanwhile, the problem that the set top box cannot operate because power failure and other abnormalities occur in the upgrading process is solved.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention relates to an embedded technology, in particular to a method for dynamically upgrading the functions of a set-top box, which belongs to the technical field of set-top boxes. 【Background technique】 [0002] With the large-scale popularization of digital TV in the country, the function of the digital TV set-top box as a digital TV terminal product is becoming more and more powerful. Broadcast TV operators are required to upgrade, and at the same time, as a supplier of set-top boxes, they can introduce new software. With the increase of functions, the program that needs to be upgraded is getting larger and larger, resulting in a long upgrade time. When the user needs to upgrade the program function of the traditional digital TV set-top box, he must upgrade all the programs, and the set-top box program is provided by the radio and television operator, and cannot be individually upgraded to select his favorite functions. At the same time, t...
