AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Intelligent lighting systems require time-consuming and tedious updates, especially when upgrading software or hardware, which can be inefficient without external assistance.

Method used

A method utilizing an OTA file transfer mechanism within the lighting system, where proxy devices communicate using internal and external protocols to distribute firmware updates autonomously, enabling an 'avalanche' update process that accelerates the update time.

Benefits of technology

The method significantly reduces the overall system update time by allowing network devices to update independently, even without external assistance, through an efficient 'avalanche' update process.

Abstract

A method is provided for updating an intelligent lighting system (1) with a variety of network devices (2), wherein the network devices (2) are configured to communicate wirelessly based on at least one internal communication protocol and at least one external communication protocol.The method (100) comprises sending (110) an OTA file to at least one first proxy device from the plurality of network devices (2), updating (120) the at least one first proxy device by updating its firmware based on the OTA file, configuring (130) the at least one first proxy device as an OTA server, sending (140) the OTA file from the at least one first proxy device to at least one second proxy device from the plurality of network devices (2), and updating (150) the at least one second proxy device by updating its firmware, at least partially based on the OTA file received from the at least one first proxy device. Furthermore, a network device (2) and a server (5) are provided.
