Such as figure 1 As shown, the implementation method of online upgrade of the system software of the set-top box includes the following steps:
[0061] Step 102: Detecting an online system software upgrade request generated by the first startup or acquiring a system software online upgrade request generated by a trigger operation, and uploading local system software information to the upgrade server.
[0062] Specifically, when the user turns on the device for the first time or manually clicks the online upgrade button on the set-top box, a system software online upgrade request is generated. System software information includes system software version number, software model, hardware model, MAC (Media Access Control) address, Device, Board, Firmware firmware version, etc.
[0063] Step 104: Receive link information obtained by comparing the system software information stored by the upgrade server with the uploaded local system software information.
[0064] Specifically, the upgrade server compares the system software information stored by itself with the uploaded system software information. If the system software information stored on the upgrade server is newer than the uploaded system software information, it returns the link information. The stored system software information is not newer than the uploaded system software information, that is, the system software information on the set-top box belongs to the latest system software information, and then empty data is returned. The link information includes the link address of the detailed description of the corresponding version.
[0065] Step 106: Download the upgrade data package according to the link information.
[0066] Specifically, the upgrade configuration file is downloaded according to the link address detailed in the corresponding version in the link information, and the upgrade data package is downloaded according to the upgrade configuration file. The upgrade configuration file is in the form of an XML (Extensible Markup Language) file. The upgrade data package can be a zip file.
[0067] Step 108: Update the system software of the set-top box according to the downloaded upgrade data package.

[0072] Step 202: Detect the online system software upgrade request generated by the first boot or obtain the system software online upgrade request generated by the trigger operation, and connect to the upgrade server.
[0073] Step 204, the connection is successful, upload the local system software information to the upgrade server, and then perform step 208.
[0074] In step 206, the connection fails, and the user is prompted that the network is abnormal.
[0075] Step 208: Receive the result of comparing the system software information stored by the upgrade server with the uploaded local system software information.
[0076] In step 210, if the comparison result is empty data, the user is prompted that the system software version is the latest version.
[0077] Step 212: If the comparison result is the return link information, the user is prompted to detect a new version, and step 214 is executed.
[0078] In step 214, an interface that prompts the user whether to upgrade is displayed, if the user clicks to confirm the upgrade is received, step 216 is executed, and if the user clicks are received, the upgrade process will be exited.
[0079] In step 216, it is determined whether there is download record information of the upgrade data package corresponding to the link information locally, if yes, step 218 is executed, and if not, step 220 is executed.
[0080] Specifically, the download record information of the upgrade data package corresponding to the link information exists locally, which means that the upgrade data package has been partially downloaded.
[0081] Step 218: Obtain the breakpoint of the last download, use the breakpoint as the starting point to continue downloading the last uncompleted upgrade data package, and record the new download record in real time, save the new download record to the local configuration file, and the download is complete Then, step 222 is executed.
[0082] Step 220, directly download the upgrade data package, and then execute step 222.
[0083] Step 222: After the download is completed, verify the integrity of the upgrade data package. After the verification is successful, copy the upgrade data package to the designated upgrade directory, and delete the temporarily saved upgrade data package. If the verification fails, then Prompt the user that the upgrade data package verification failed.
[0084] Specifically, MD5 (Message Digest Algorithm) may be used for verification processing. Or MD4 etc.
[0085] Step 224: After copying the upgrade data package, set the system software to Recovery mode, and execute the reboot command to restart the system.
[0086] Step 226: After the system component is powered on and restarted, the Recovery upgrade process of the system software is performed to obtain the new system software.

[0094] Step 306: According to the thread identifier and the link information of the corresponding upgrade data package, query whether the link information of the upgrade data package exists in the download record information database, and if so, update the breakpoint record information recorded in the download record information database To the download record information of the thread corresponding to the thread identifier, the thread starts to continue downloading at a breakpoint according to the breakpoint record information. If not, the thread corresponding to the thread identifier directly downloads the upgrade data package.
[0095] Step 308: When a timing recording event is detected, the download record information is updated to the download record information database through the thread.
[0096] Specifically, when a timing recording event is detected, the thread updates the download record information to the download record information database. The update may include adding new record information.
[0097] Step 310: When an abnormal network event is detected, the download record information is updated to the download record information database through the thread, and the thread download is suspended.
[0098] It is understandable that when network connectivity is subsequently detected, multi-threading is automatically started and the download is restarted.
[0099] Step 312: After detecting the end of the thread download, perform an integrity check of the upgrade data package. If the check passes, delete the download record information corresponding to the thread in the download record database, if the check fails, delete the corresponding Download the upgrade data package and the download record information in the download record information database, and return to step 302 to restart the download.
