Problems solved by technology

[0003] In the process of updating the firmware, the above update method needs the bandwidth to download the new firmware. However, other devices operating normally at the same time will also use the bandwidth to transmit data, causing the device updating the firmware to interact with the device operating normally.
[0004] To sum up, it can be seen that the prior art has long had the problem that the bandwidth used for downloading new firmware will affect other devices that operate normally, so it is necessary to propose improved technical means to solve this problem

Abstract

The invention discloses a system and method for updating firmware through a heterogeneous network. A technical means lies in that after an update command is received through a target device, connection with a first wireless communication network is switched into connection with a second wireless communication network, an update file is received through the second wireless communication network, after the update of the firmware is completed by the update file, the connection with the second wireless communication network is switched into connection with the first wireless communication network, so that the situation that a bandwidth used by other normally-operated devices is influenced when new firmware is downloaded can be avoided, and the technical effect of simultaneously updating the firmware of a plurality of target devices is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a firmware updating system and method thereof, in particular to a system and method for updating firmware through a heterogeneous network. Background technique [0002] For devices using wireless communication networks, it is very impractical to use traditional recorders to update the firmware when it is necessary, because these devices may be distributed in various locations, and it is usually impossible for the administrator to update the firmware. Update the firmware at each location one by one. Therefore, the currently used method is to transmit new firmware to these devices, so that these devices can update the firmware after receiving the new firmware. [0003] In the process of updating the firmware, the above-mentioned update method needs the bandwidth for downloading the new firmware. However, other devices operating normally at the same time will also use the bandwidth to transmit data, causing the device updating the...
