Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, the traditional software update method centrally updates the software when the current firmware version is higher than the firmware device version, that is, upgrading the software
On the other hand, the conventional software update method does not update the software when the activated firmware version is lower than that of the firmware device, that is, does not downgrade the software
In addition, since all households are required to upgrade their software to the active version at the same time, it is not possible to selectively update the software of firmware devices in a single household or in several households

Abstract

Disclosed are a software update method and a software update apparatus thereof. The software update method of a software update apparatus for updating a software of an electronic apparatus, includes creating and storing file information including type information of a software uploaded from the electronic apparatus; and updating the software of the electronic apparatus according to a selected version and an update command transmitted from the electronic apparatus. Accordingly, by transmitting a software update command in a user's desired version, it is possible to downgrade a version when in need and update the apparatus selectively for a single household or several households.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a software updating method and a device for updating software. More particularly, the present invention relates to a software updating method and a software updating device thereof capable of performing multi-version management on software and updating one or more electronic devices in a home network environment. Background technique [0002] There is a recent trend in which electronic apparatuses are equipped with flash memory that stores various programs for realizing high-performance operation. This is made possible by the development of large storage capacities and micro technology. The electronic device stores various programs related to the device in the flash memory embedded therein, and the programs control the overall operation or the high-level operation. [0003] The electronic device also records new software in the memory or replaces the software stored in the existing memory with replacement software to ...
