Embodiment Construction

[0014] In order to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described in detail below.

[0015] The invention discloses a statistical method for the upgrade of a set-top box. The method utilizes the feature that the software version number of the set-top box will be updated after the software is upgraded to realize the mutual communication between the set-top box and the front-end system of radio and television, and then realize the statistics of the upgrade.

[0016] The method of the present invention is specifically as follows:

[0017] First, when the set-top box leaves the factory and is turned on for the first time, it reads its own software version number, and backs up its own software version number in a non-volatile memory.

[0018] Afterwards, every time the set-top box is turned on or after the upgrade is completed, it reads its own software version number and compares it with the original software version ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for counting upgrading conditions of a set top box. The method comprises the following steps of: reading self software version numbers when the set top box is delivered and started at first time, and backing the self software version numbers to a nonvolatile memory; after the set top box is started every time or is upgraded completely, reading the self software version numbers, and comparing with the backed original software version number, if the software version numbers are inconsistent, indicating that software needs to be upgraded, feeding upgrading information to a broadcasting and television front-end system by the set top box through a network; analyzing, storing and displaying the received upgrading information in a server by the broadcasting and television front-end system, transmitting a processing message to the set top box; and after the set top box receives the processing message, writing newly upgraded software version numbers into the nonvolatile memory. Compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages that the broadcasting and television front-end system can be used for counting upgrading conditions of all users easily, the accuracy is high, upgrading files are prevented from being sent for a long time to save system resources, and manpower and material resources are also saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of cable digital television, in particular to a statistical method for the upgrading of cable digital television set-top boxes. Background technique [0002] Today, with the popularization of digital telephones, it is not new to upgrade set-top boxes online. Almost all set-top boxes have this function. There are many concerns, one of which is whether the user's set-top box has been upgraded. Due to the large number of users, manual statistics cannot be used. In order to ensure that users can upgrade, the broadcasting and television usually broadcast the upgrade in batches and over a long period of time. Documents are used to reduce risks, such as broadcasting for half a year, which wastes equipment resources and manpower, and the risks cannot be guaranteed. If there is an upgrade failure in the off-broadcast upgrade file, a large amount of repair and maintenance costs will be wasted, and the user will not be able to ...
