Abstract

The invention discloses a set-top box software upgrading method, comprising the steps of: acquiring the latest version information of the set-top box software; comparing the acquired latest version information with the currently used version information; if the currently used version is lower than the latest version , then enable the software upgrade menu, send a software upgrade request and set-top box information to the front end; obtain the set-top box software upgrade method calculated by the front-end according to the configuration of the set-top box, and download the latest version of the set-top box software through the software upgrade method, wherein the Described software upgrade mode is network upgrade mode or online upgrade mode; Determine whether the set-top box software of described latest version is downloaded successfully; If so, then install the set-top box software of described latest version, complete the software upgrade of set-top box. The invention also discloses a set-top box software upgrading device. The present invention can make the two upgrade modes replace each other, and ensure the smooth progress of the software upgrade of the set-top box.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a set-top box software upgrading method and device. Background technique [0002] A set-top box (Set Top Box, STB) is a household appliance that relies on TV terminals to provide comprehensive information services. It can convert digital TV signals into analog signals, enabling users to watch digital TV programs on existing TVs. Network for interactive digital entertainment, education and commercialization activities. At present, in addition to audio and video decoding is implemented by hardware, including the realization of the operation interface, the realization of data broadcasting services, the interconnection of set-top boxes and personal computers and the Internet, etc., all need to be realized by software. However, the functions of the set-top box are relatively simple at present, which cannot meet the needs of new services such as user communication and instant news. When the...
