Problems solved by technology

[0003] Most of the existing radio and television networks use the ca card machine and ca card pairing method, because the software of each manufacturer has different ways of saving information in their products, and the format of system information such as serial numbers in new middleware systems different, so the original set-top box terminals that have been on the market cannot interact with the current middleware system

specific Embodiment approach

[0036] A kind of specific embodiment of the present invention is as follows:

[0037] Such as figure 1 As shown, first of all, the new middleware software is upgraded to the box through OTA. Before entering the new middleware software, the serial number and other set-top box information and CA information must be converted. During the conversion process, a flag needs to be established To identify whether the upgrade is successful, the hardware version of the software is selected here as the flag, because the hardware version of the software upgraded during OTA is still the middleware of the previous version, and the new middleware must use a new hardware version It is used to distinguish, so it is very convenient to use this parameter instead of using a new parameter to mark the upgrade.

[0038] In the process of OTA upgrade, there are a few points that need to be paid attention to. One is that the data to be saved must not overlap during the upgrade process, and the other i...

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for upgrading different set top box middleware systems. The method comprises the steps of upgrading a new middleware system in a set top box, and then converting a serial number in the set top box according to a rule of the middleware system; reading ca data in flash and ca data in eeprom in the set top box; writing the ca data in a new position according to a defined sequence and a structure; and updating a hardware version number of the set top box to a new hardware version number, so as to finish upgrading. The present invention also provides a method for upgrading different set top box middleware systems. According to the method, after the middleware is upgraded, the serial number accords with standards of a new middleware, and mails and pairing information of a ca system can be kept.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method and a device for upgrading a middleware system of a different set-top box. Background technique [0002] At present, most terminal software is developed by their own terminal manufacturers, and the software functions and software quality are uneven; with the integration of radio and television in various provinces in China, in order to facilitate later business development and management and maintenance, many provincial radio and television network companies, A middleware system is introduced to unify the user interface and service functions on the digital TV set-top box terminal. [0003] Most of the existing radio and television networks use the ca card machine and ca card pairing method, because the software of each manufacturer has different ways of saving information in their products, and the format of system information such as serial numbers in new middleware systems Therefore, the original set-top box termina...
