Abstract

The invention provides a protocol update method for household appliances. By updating the latest version of the home appliance protocol in the provision and maintenance server that provides the information related to the home appliance, the existing protocol stored in the above-mentioned home appliance can be automatically updated, so the protocol stored in the fast memory can be simply and automatically The protocol can be updated to the latest version of the protocol without wasting time and manpower. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate inconveniences such as direct access by maintenance personnel or additional operations by users for version update of existing home appliances.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for updating the protocol of a home appliance that can be networked, and in particular to a method for updating the protocol of such a home appliance, which is constructed for a home network through a gateway connected to an external communication network, and can communicate, and The protocol stored in the flash memory (Flash memory) can be automatically updated to the latest version of the protocol. Background technique [0002] Recently, with the development of networks through the Internet, multi-task products having additional functions in addition to the original functions of home appliances have become mainstream. The following household appliances are an example. By installing a RAN card or a modem and connecting to the communication network, the household appliances can not only communicate, but also receive and send data through the above-mentioned communication network, so that the version of the pro...
