Application program downloading update method of automotive device

Abstract

The invention relates to an application program downloading update method of an automotive device. The method comprises the following steps: a mobile device is provided with a management exclusive minitype application program; when a network server is provided with an updating archive of the automotive device, the network server pushes updating information to the mobile device; a user can use the mobile device to download the updating archive, and is connected with the automotive device through the mobile device; and the updating archive can be transmitted to the automotive device through the mobile device to update the program, so that an automobile owner can download the program on the automobile device on the own so as to omit a factory-returning maintenance procedure and avoid inconvenience.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for downloading and updating an application program of a vehicle device, in particular to a method for downloading and updating an application program on the vehicle device, which allows the owner to update the program on the vehicle device, so as to save the procedure and inconvenience of returning to the factory for maintenance. Background technique [0002] Generally, the on-vehicle head unit (also known as the car device truck machine) is installed on the car. When it is found that the program is defective in use or the function needs to be improved, and if you want to update the installed on-board head unit, it will usually be sent by the car factory. Send the memory card (SD card, USB disk or CD-ROM) with the update program to the car repair shop or dealer, and then the repair shop or dealer will notify the car owner one by one to return to the factory for update. [0003] Another way is for the car facto...

[0003] Another way is for the car factory to send the update program to the diagnostic device of the repair shop through the network, and then connect the diagnostic device with the car in the repair shop to update the car's on-board host computer, but both of these methods need to be recalled (call back) The program can only be updated when the car is returned to the maintenance shop, and the maintenance shop personnel also need to be trained and pay attention to the update items, so the time and cost consumed are huge, and it is also quite inconvenient for the car owner

[0004] For mobile devices using online update program operating technology, related technologies such as TW Publication No. 201315630, TW Publication No. 201323267, TW I270010, TW M449960, TW Publication No. 201117046, TW I306357, TW M434698, TW M437575, TW M434698, TW M461081 It has been disclosed in previous patents such as the above, in which the online update operation using a mobile device is technically performed mainly through the network module of the mobile device. Most of these known update steps must be on-line (ON LINE) In the state of the mobile device, the update program can be performed on the vehicle device or portable electronic device, but in the offline (OFF LINE) state, the mobile device cannot transmit the downloaded update file to the vehicle device or portable electronic device. For car owners or users, there is still a certain degree of restriction and inconvenience in the operation of updating the car device or portable electronic device for the operation of updating the program on the portable electronic device.
