Embodiment Construction

[0023] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] see figure 1 As shown, the IPTV set-top box incremental software upgrading method that the embodiment of the present invention provides comprises the following steps:

[0025] A. The set-top box is turned on and powered on for upgrade detection. According to the upgrade server address configured locally, the upgrade configuration file is downloaded from the upgrade server. According to the content of the configuration file and the current software version information of the set-top box, it is judged whether it needs to be upgraded and which software packages to upgrade. If it needs to be upgraded Then enter step B; if there is no need to upgrade, skip the following steps and start normally;

[0026] B. The set-top box checks the number of upgrades of the day, and only allows the set-top box to try to upgrade twice in the same day, so a...

Abstract

The invention discloses an incremental software updating method of an internet protocol television (IPTV) set top box. The method comprises the following steps of: A, when the set top box is started and powered on, performing updating detection, downloading an updating configuration file from an updating server according to an address of the updating server which is locally configured, judging whether updating is required according to contents of the configuration file and the current software version information of the set top box, if the updating is required, determining a software package to be updated and executing the step B, and if the updating is not required, normally starting; B, judging whether the number of day updating times of the set top box is greater than a preset threshold value, if the number of the day updating times of the set top box is greater than the preset threshold value, normally starting, and if the number of the day updating times of the set top box is not greater than the preset threshold value, executing the step C; and C, downloading the software package to be updated from the updating server, and performing local updating installation. The method has the advantages that: incremental updating is adopted, and only the software package to be updated is downloaded and updated, so bandwidth resources are saved, the updating efficiency of the IPTV set top box is improved, updating time is shortened, user experience is improved, and an updating mode is relatively flexible and easy to control.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of IPTV set-top boxes, in particular to an incremental software upgrading method of the IPTV set-top box.
