It should also be understood that terms such as those defined in general dictionaries should be understood to have meanings consistent with the meanings in the context of the prior art, and will not be interpreted with idealized or overly formal meanings unless specifically defined as herein.

[0042] In the prior art, the TV software upgrade method is inconvenient to operate and has low efficiency.

[0043] In order to solve the problems of the prior art, this embodiment provides a TV software upgrade method, which realizes automatic upgrade of the TV software on the TV side by sending the TV software to be upgraded to the preset data area of ​​the TV side and modifying the environment variables corresponding to the package name in the TV side based on instructions, which is convenient to operate and efficient. In specific implementation, first obtain the package name of the TV software to be upgraded, and send the TV software to be upgraded to the preset data area of ​​the TV side; then modify the environment variables of the TV side based on the preset first command so that the environment variables correspond to the package name; finally, when the environment variables are successfully modified, the TV software to be upgraded in the preset data area is upgraded.

[0044] Exemplary Methods

[0045] This embodiment provides a TV software upgrade method, which can be applied to a smart terminal of a digital TV. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0046] Step S100: obtaining the package name of the TV software to be upgraded, and sending the TV software to be upgraded to a preset data area of ​​the TV end;

[0047] Step S200: based on a preset first command, modify the environment variable of the TV end so that the environment variable corresponds to the package name;

[0048] Step S300: When the environment variable is modified successfully, the TV software to be upgraded in the preset data area is upgraded.

[0049] In the daily testing of TV, the same whole machine is often used to verify the functions of different versions of software. In this case, it is necessary to switch different upgrade packages and perform multiple upgrades. The method of upgrading TV software in the prior art (taking MST6E16, M9 and previous movements as examples) first copies the upgrade file to the U disk, and changes the file name to the last 8 characters of the machine model. For example: for the LCD TLM32V68C model, the corresponding upgrade file name should be changed to LM32V68C.BIN; then the tester inserts the U disk into the TV end, and then enters the factory menu, and changes the value of the USB UPDATE item in Option to 1; shut down the AC, and then turn on the AC, the machine will automatically upgrade, and it needs to be turned on again after the upgrade is completed. If only Binary file detecting appears, and the following three interfaces do not appear, it may be that the upgraded bin file name does not correspond. Please change it to the correct file name. If there is any abnormality, you can use the up and down keys to adjust to the Factory Init option in the factory menu, then press the right key, and then use the up and down keys to adjust to the CLEAR UNPROTECTLY option, press the OK key or the right key to clear the mother block. After a few minutes, the whole machine will exit the factory mode and display TV noise, and then restart the machine. Note: The U disk must be inserted into the USB port next to the high-frequency head to upgrade the whole machine software; models with network functions, such as: TLM32V88 cannot upgrade the motherboard program through the USB port on the network board! The TV software upgrade method in the prior art must be that the software package name in the inserted U disk is the same as the software package name of the TV system, otherwise it cannot be upgraded. In order to solve this problem, such as Figure 2As shown, the prior art adopts two methods: the first method is that the tester reads the name of the TV upgrade package at the serial port of the computer, then unplugs the U disk, copies the software upgrade package with the same name as the TV upgrade package, and then inserts it into the TV to upgrade the upgrade package in the TV, that is, enter the main menu of the TV and select local upgrade. The TV automatically restarts and starts the software upgrade. In this way, once the tester switches different upgrade packages to verify the functions of different versions of software in the same machine, it is necessary to repeatedly plug and unplug the U disk and copy it multiple times, which brings great inconvenience to the tester. The second method is that the tester connects an external serial port to input commands, and modifies the environment variables of the software in the TV so that the name of the software package corresponding to the modified environment variables is consistent with the name of the software package in the U disk. Therefore, the tester needs to manually input commands many times, which is inefficient.

[0050] This embodiment uses a computer programming language to write an application to realize automated preparation for upgrade work. The application automatically obtains the upgrade package name - transmits the upgrade package over the network - modifies the TV environment variables - upgrades, eliminating the tedious manual copying / renaming / plugging and unplugging of the USB flash drive, avoiding the problem of software mismatch and TV failure to upgrade due to the software upgrade not distinguishing the file name, and facilitating testers to upgrade TV software more quickly. Figure 3-4 As shown, first obtain the package name of the TV software to be upgraded, which can be obtained by wired communication or wireless communication, and then transmit the TV software to be upgraded to the preset data area of ​​the TV end by wired communication or wireless communication. Then, the preset first command is used to modify the environment variables in the TV end so that the package name of the modified environment variables is consistent with the package name of the TV software to be upgraded, thereby avoiding manual input of commands to modify the environment variables of the TV end. In this embodiment, the first command is as follows:

[0051] setenv ForceUpgradePathPackageName.bin

[0052] saveenv

[0053] Among them, setenv is used to define the value of the environment variable, ForceUpgradePath is the environment variable of the TV, package name.bin is the value of the environment variable, and saveenv is maintained. When the environment variable is modified successfully, the TV software to be upgraded stored in the preset data area will be automatically upgraded. If the upgrade fails, it will prompt that the upgrade failed. From the above process, it can be seen that this application does not require a USB flash drive, and does not require the tester to manually enter instructions to modify the environment variables on the TV side. Instead, the environment variables on the TV side are automatically modified through program commands so that the environment variables can match the TV software to be upgraded. In this process, only the upgrade file needs to be selected and the upgrade program needs to be clicked to automatically complete the upgrade, which is convenient for testers to automatically upgrade TV software more quickly and conveniently, saving time and improving work efficiency. Moreover, the more upgrade tests are performed, the more time is saved and the work efficiency is improved.

[0054] Optionally, obtaining the package name of the TV software to be upgraded includes the following steps: downloading the TV software to be upgraded from a preset system based on a network communication method; parsing the TV software to be upgraded to obtain the package name.

[0055] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, the tester first connects the TV to the serial port and then to the PC. The TV and PC are connected to the same router. The device connection is a normal step for the tester to capture logs in daily testing. The present invention does not add extra workload. The network communication method can be a local area network, such as WIFI, or Bluetooth, or ZigBee, etc. In this embodiment, the application is set on the computer PC side, that is, as long as the PC is connected to the Internet, the TV software to be upgraded (such as ASTC, DVB, ISDB) can be downloaded from the SVN system of the network through the PC side, and then the TV software to be upgraded can be parsed by parsing to obtain its package name.

[0056] Optionally, sending the TV software to be upgraded to a preset data area of ​​the TV end includes the following steps: sending the TV software to be upgraded to a preset data area of ​​the TV end based on a network communication method and a preset second command.

[0057] Specifically, the network communication method may be a local area network, such as WIFI, or Bluetooth, or ZigBee, etc., and the preset second command is a transmission command:

[0058] scp / path / filename username@servername: / data,

[0059] For example, scp / var / www / test.bin root@192.168.0.101: / data, in this way, the TV software to be upgraded can be sent to the preset data area of ​​the TV end. If the transmission fails, it will prompt that the transmission fails.

[0060] Optionally, before step S200, the following step is also included: opening a serial port tool, wherein the serial port tool is used to debug the TV end.

[0061] Specifically, the serial port tool is automatically opened, so that the television can be debugged by inputting commands. If the opening fails, a prompt indicating that the serial port opening fails is displayed.

[0062] Optionally, after step S300, the following step is also included: when the TV software to be upgraded is upgraded successfully, deleting the TV software to be upgraded on the TV side.

[0063] Specifically, after the TV software upgrade is completed, the upgrade package in the TV is automatically deleted, and a prompt indicating that the upgrade is successful is displayed.

[0064] Optionally, when the TV software to be upgraded is upgraded successfully, the TV software to be upgraded on the TV end is deleted and the following steps are included: performing a functional test on the TV software; after the functional test is completed, downloading new TV software to be upgraded from a preset system.

[0065] In practice, since testers have to test the functions of multiple TV software on one TV, they will constantly switch. Therefore, when the upgrade of a TV software to be upgraded is completed, the testers can perform functional tests on the upgraded software. After the test is completed, new TV software to be upgraded is downloaded from the preset system until all TV software are tested on all TVs.

[0066] Optionally, the method further includes the following step: setting a number of menu options.

[0067] Specifically, Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the application sets up two menus: Select File and Upgrade. The Select File menu is for personnel to manually select the upgrade package, and the Upgrade menu is for displaying the upgrade software function.

[0068] The advantages and differences between this patent and the original solution are mainly:

[0069] 1. Use computer language programming to generate visual operation interface application (used on PC)

[0070] 2. No need to manually modify the package name. The application automatically obtains the upgrade package name after the user selects the upgrade package, which is used for subsequent commands to modify the TV environment variables for upgrade

[0071] 3. Simply run the application, select the upgrade package, and click to upgrade. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0072] 4. Automatically upgrade application shortcuts to free your hands

[0073] 5. The prior art does not use the network to process the upgrade package, but the present invention uses the network to transmit the upgrade package to the TV root directory to achieve automatic transmission / upgrade, which is simple and convenient to operate.

[0074] 6. To avoid the inconsistency between the software package name in the USB flash drive and the TV system software package name, which causes the TV to be unable to upgrade using the USB upgrade menu; this program automatically modifies the TV's environment variables through commands to be consistent with the upgrade package name, thereby realizing the TV software upgrade.

[0075] 7. Use automation to prepare for upgrades.
