Unified updating management system for set-top box downloading document

Abstract

The system thereof comprises: a broadcast server used for receiving and saving 'loader' file, and updating the 'loader' file; a client side used for managing 'loader' file, which comprises a configuration module for transmitting the 'loader' to the server to save, and according to 'loader file' setting 'loader' records used for updating the broadcast, and transmitting it to the database to save; a database used for saving the records of 'loader' file; and a broadcast scheduling module used for selecting a desired broadcast updating 'loader' file from all loader records in database, and sending a broadcasting instruction to said server, setting parameters of 'loader' file updating broadcast, sending a broadcasting instruction to the server, and leading out the descriptor of currently updated 'loader' file.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a system for unified management of software upgrade broadcast, in particular to a system for unified management of set-top box system software upgrade broadcast. Background technique [0002] With the development of digital TV, the manufacturers and versions of digital TV set-top boxes in the network are gradually increasing, and the software version upgrade of set-top boxes has become an important problem that digital TV networks need to face. Service upgrades, opening new value-added applications, and solving software defects in set-top boxes all require software upgrades for set-top boxes. [0003] The existing software upgrade of the set-top box mainly adopts the following three methods. The first way is that each manufacturer uses its own loader broadcast system. In this case, if the operator needs to upgrade the software of a new set-top box manufacturer, it needs to purchase the manufacturer’s loader broadcast separatel...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The first way is that each manufacturer uses its own loader broadcast system. In this case, if the operator needs to upgrade the software of a new set-top box manufacturer, it needs to purchase the manufacturer’s loader broadcast separately. system, leading to an increase in investment

The second method is that each manufacturer only provides code streams, but needs to insert its own defined descriptors in the network information table NIT (Network Information Table). Descriptors between various manufacturers cannot be used in common, thus increasing the burden on the EPG system

The third method is that each manufacturer broadcasts through its own CA system, so it is difficult to add the function of selective upgrade according to the batch number of the set-top box according to the requirements of the operator.
