Problems solved by technology

[0002] With the continuous development of digital TV, the number of digital TV users has also increased significantly, and the content and functions of digital TV are increasing. In addition, due to the diversification of functions, the size of digital TV software is also becoming larger and larger. more complex and time-consuming
[0003] At present, in the software upgrade of digital TV, the cost of online upgrade is lower and the efficiency is higher. In the existing online upgrade, the upgrade process needs to download the entire application program and resource data, and rewrite the entire application program partition. The method not only needs to check the correctness of all functions, but also generates redundant output, making the entire upgrade process time-consuming and occupying a large amount of bandwidth

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a digital television as well as a software upgrading method and system thereof. The method comprises the following steps of: judging whether the digital television needs software upgrading; if so, sending an upgrading request by the digital television to a server; receiving the description information of a file to be upgraded, returned by the server, according to the upgrading request, wherein the description information comprises the name of the file to be upgraded, the link address and the version information comprising the major version number and the minor version number; and downloading the corresponding file according to the description information. In the embodiment of the invention, through information interaction between the digital television and the server, the server provides the description information comprising the minimum upgrading file for the digital television, transmits the description information to the digital television through a network, and upgrades the description information locally, and thus, redundant data transmitted on the network are reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a digital TV software upgrading method, system and digital TV. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of digital TV, the number of digital TV users has also increased significantly, and the content and functions of digital TV are increasing. In addition, due to the diversification of functions, the size of digital TV software is also becoming larger and larger. Appears to be more complicated and time-consuming. [0003] At present, in the software upgrade of digital TV, the cost of online upgrade is lower and the efficiency is higher. In the existing online upgrade, the upgrade process needs to download the entire application program and resource data, and rewrite the entire application program partition. This method not only needs to check the correctness of all functions, but also produces redundant output, making the entire upgrade process time-co...
