Problems solved by technology

[0005] The present invention provides a method for upgrading a set-top box and the set-top box. By presetting the upgrade image in the upgrade package, and then using the upgrade image to guide the upgrade package to upgrade the set-top box, it is used to solve the problems in the prior art due to its own Recovery program failure and Unable to operate according to the user's instructions, resulting in the failure of the upgrade, which improves the probability of a successful upgrade of the set-top box, thereby improving the user experience

Embodiment Construction

[0022] As described in the background technology, when the existing set-top boxes need to be upgraded, they all guide and start the Recovery program stored in the FLASH according to the stored logo or specific keys after being started by boot, and then read the recovery program stored in the USB by the recovery. disk or other partitions (usually cache partitions) to complete the upgrade function. In this way, when the Recovery program is damaged due to objective factors or the Recovery program itself has functional defects, it is impossible to complete the upgrade operation of the set-top box through this method, and the technician needs to use other methods (such as flashing) to complete the upgrade for the set-top box. The upgrade of the set-top box brings unnecessary operational troubles to technicians and reduces user experience.

[0023] In view of the above problems in the prior art, the present application proposes a method for upgrading a set-top box. In the method, t...

Abstract

The invention discloses a set-top box upgrading method. A set-top box verifies a stored first restore image. When the verification value of the first restore image is different from a preset value, a upgrading packet is extracted and a second restore image which is included in the upgrading packet is obtained. The second restore image is guided for starting the set-top box so that the second restore image upgrades the set-top box through the upgrading packet. According to the set-top box upgrading method, when a Recovery program of the set-top box is faulted and upgrading or updating cannot be directly realized according to a user instruction, the set-top-box can be updated or upgraded according to the preset restore image in the upgrading packet, thereby improving upgrading success probability of the set-top box and effectively preventing a problem of upgrading failure caused by self Recovery program fault and incapability of performing operation according to the user instruction. The invention further discloses a set-top box.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a method for upgrading a set-top box. The invention also relates to a set-top box. Background technique [0002] A digital video converter box, commonly called a set-top box or set-top box, is a device that connects a TV to an external signal source. It can convert the compressed digital signal into TV content and display it on the TV. Signals can come from cable, satellite dishes, broadband networks, and terrestrial broadcasts. The content received by the set-top box is to receive digital content, including electronic program guide, Internet web pages, subtitles, etc., in addition to the images and sounds that can be provided by analog TV. It enables users to watch digital TV programs on existing TV sets, and conduct interactive digital entertainment, education and commercial activities through the network. [0003] Android is a free and open-source operating system ba...
