Abstract

Regarding an information processing device forming a home network, a technology for more effectively updating a firmware is provided. Provided are a remote management means for communicating with a server device which stores software to be delivered, and a controlled device within a home network, and for managing applications; a service management program for managing services of the controlled device; a firmware management program for managing a firmware of the controlled device; a gateway firmware management program for managing a firmware of a gateway device; a gateway firmware updating program for rewriting the firmware of the gateway device; and a dependence relationship management program which, when a software is to be distributed, analyzes a dependence relationship aggregation table aggregating contents of a dependence relationship table which describes a software whereon the software to be distributed depends.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a home network system, a gateway device, and a firmware update method, such as firmware configuration operation techniques such as firmware installation, update, or uninstallation. Background technique [0002] Such an application program management system and an application program management method have been proposed in the existing home network environment. Extended functions (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). Among these proposals, in a home network where an application server (such as a home gateway) exists, in order to detect whether an information processing device (controlled device) is newly connected, for UPnP (Universal Plug and Play: Universal Plug and Play), etc. The middleware adds to the application server an application that can use the function (service) of the information processing device, and uses an OSGi (OpenServices Gateway Initiative: Open Services Gateway Protocol) framework. This make...
