Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to neurostimulation devices, and more specifically to an OTA firmware upgrade system and method for neurostimulation devices. Background Technology

[0002] The nerve stimulation device includes a tinnitus treatment instrument, which integrates sound therapy, magnetotherapy, acupuncture, and ultrasound. Its main functions are: 1. Ultrasound waves act on the auricle, stimulating acupoints and reflex zones, clearing meridians, and improving ear microcirculation. 2. Magnetic therapy acts on the affected ear, effectively magnetizing it, promoting blood circulation, balancing Yin and Yang, and improving blood circulation in the auditory nerve. 3. It activates the activity of inner ear hair cells and improves the sensitivity of the inner ear nerve.

[0003] OTA stands for Over-The-Air, meaning "transmission via wireless signal." It is a technology that updates and upgrades device software through wireless communication networks. It can be applied to various smart devices, including smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, smart home devices, and more. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an OTA firmware upgrade system and method for neurostimulation devices. This system enables wireless firmware upgrades for neurostimulation devices. First, an app is used to bind the device's serial number (SN). Then, short-range communication (SNR) between the phone's Bluetooth module and the OTA system receives the Bluetooth LE communication signal from the neurostimulation device. The neurostimulation device broadcasts its corresponding SN; only successfully matched and authenticated devices will connect. After successful connection, Bluetooth firmware package transmission, download, and upgrade updates can be performed. This invention solves the problems of device compatibility during upgrades, the cumbersome and unstable upgrade process, and improves the reliability of transmitted data. Furthermore, transmission is performed frame by frame, allowing real-time monitoring and comparison of each frame's transmission status, facilitating troubleshooting.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is: an OTA firmware upgrade system based on a neurostimulation device, comprising a neurostimulation device APP and a neurostimulation device device;

[0006] The neurostimulation device APP is software used to execute interactive page functions. The neurostimulation device APP connects to the neurostimulation device via BLE Bluetooth and sends upgrade and update commands on the interactive page.

[0007] The aforementioned neurostimulation device is a device for treating tinnitus. It receives instructions from a neurostimulation device APP, performs related operations, and completes firmware updates.

[0008] Furthermore, the nerve stimulation device is a tinnitus diagnostic and treatment device.

[0009] This invention also provides an OTA firmware upgrade method based on a neurostimulation device, the specific steps of which are as follows:

[0010] Step 1: The neurostimulation device APP binds the SN number for the first time, which is used for verification and comparison with the neurostimulation device.

[0011] SN code is short for Serial Number, sometimes also called SerialNo. It's a product serial number, a concept introduced to verify the "legal identity of a product." It protects users' rights to genuine products and ensures they enjoy legitimate services; each genuine product corresponds to only one serial number. Other names include: machine code, authentication code, registration application code, etc.

[0012] Step 2: The neurostimulation device APP searches for and connects to the neurostimulation device via BLE Bluetooth;

[0013] Step 3: The neurostimulation device APP performs a firmware update operation. Before updating, it first determines whether the update package is stimulation firmware or Bluetooth firmware, and uses the version number to determine the package that needs to be upgraded.

[0014] Step 4: The neurostimulation device app downloads the update package file to the local device via Bluetooth;

[0015] Step 5: Issue the upgrade command. When issuing the upgrade command, a protocol verification will be performed. After the verification is successful, the upgrade file will be sent frame by frame. After each successful download, the app will reply with a protocol command. The app will update the download progress synchronously until the download is complete.

[0016] Furthermore, if the upgrade process is interrupted or the signal is weak due to Bluetooth signal issues, the upgrade will be terminated and the cached package will be cleared. Even when the upgrade starts again, the upgrade file will still be sent from the first frame.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are: it provides an OTA firmware upgrade system and method for neurostimulation devices, enabling wireless firmware upgrades for neurostimulation devices. First, an app is used to bind the device's serial number (SN). Then, short-range communication (SNR) between the phone's Bluetooth communication module is used to receive the Bluetooth LE communication signal from the neurostimulation device. The neurostimulation device broadcasts its corresponding SN; only successfully matched and authenticated devices will connect. After successful connection, Bluetooth firmware package transmission, download, and upgrade updates can be performed. This solves the problems of device compatibility during upgrades, the cumbersome and unstable upgrade process, improves the reliability of transmitted data, and allows for frame-by-frame transmission, enabling real-time monitoring and comparison of each frame's transmission status, facilitating troubleshooting.
