The invention discloses an incremental software updating method of an internet protocol television (IPTV) set top box. The method comprises the following steps of: A, when the set top box is started and powered on, performing updating detection, downloading an updating configuration file from an updating server according to an address of the updating server which is locally configured, judging whether updating is required according to contents of the configuration file and the current software version information of the set top box, if the updating is required, determining a software package to be updated and executing the step B, and if the updating is not required, normally starting; B, judging whether the number of day updating times of the set top box is greater than a preset threshold value, if the number of the day updating times of the set top box is greater than the preset threshold value, normally starting, and if the number of the day updating times of the set top box is not greater than the preset threshold value, executing the step C; and C, downloading the software package to be updated from the updating server, and performing local updating installation. The method has the advantages that: incremental updating is adopted, and only the software package to be updated is downloaded and updated, so bandwidth resources are saved, the updating efficiency of the IPTV set top box is improved, updating time is shortened, user experience is improved, and an updating mode is relatively flexible and easy to control.

Provided are a method, and a portable device having a program upgrade function. A method of upgrading a program of a portable device upgrades a program, such as a navigation program or firmware of the portable device, using another portable device within a predetermined range. Program upgrade can be performed between portable devices in movement, that is, it is possible to upgrade a program of a portable device regardless of a place in which the portable devices are located.

Disclosed herein are a communication terminal and communication network for partially updating software, a software update method, and a software creation device and method therefor. The software is divided into a plurality of areas each having a predetermined size, and unique identification keys are assigned to the areas of the software, respectively. A search is made for at least one changed area among the areas of the software on the basis of version information of the software or the identification keys, and data of the changed area is downloaded to upgrade the software. Therefore, it is possible to shorten an upgrade time of the software.

The invention discloses a method of software version upgrade and the method is used in a mobile terminal. The method comprises the following steps: the mobile terminal receives the losslessly compressed update file of the software version and decompresses and restores the update file; and the mobile terminal performs write operation after decompressing and restoring the update file. The invention also discloses a terminal and system based on the method of the invention. In the method of the invention, by adopting the lossless compression algorithm to perform lossless compression to the update file of the software version of the mobile terminal, the problems of the related technology that the update file of as the software version is directly downloaded and upgraded, the download time is too long and the download first pass yield is lower can be solved, thus the data transmission quantity can be decreased, the upgrade time of the mobile terminal can be effectively reduced, the mobile terminal can complete the upgrade process rapidly and safely and the upgrade and download efficiencies can be increased.

The invention relates to the technical field of communication, and especially relates to a remote firmware upgrading method and system for an intelligent Internet of Things metering instrument. The method comprises the following steps of: S1, uploading a latest firmware upgrade package to a server, the server compares the latest firmware upgrade package with the last firmware upgrade package in the metering instrument; if the difference point is smaller than the set threshold value, the information of the difference point is packaged into a firmware upgrade package to be upgraded, and if the difference point is larger than or equal to the set threshold value, the latest firmware upgrade package is used as the firmware upgrade package to be upgraded, and an upgrade instruction is issued atthe server side; S2, receiving an upgrading instruction by the metering instrument, connecting a server according to the upgrading instruction, and downloading a corresponding firmware upgrading package to be upgraded; and S3, the metering instrument completes firmware upgrading according to the to-be-upgraded firmware upgrading package. The method has two modes of whole package upgrading and difference point upgrading, and can effectively cope with various upgrading conditions.

The embodiment of the invention discloses an application upgrading method. The method comprises the steps that a terminal acquires updating information of a target application installed in the terminal, wherein at least a first container is set in the terminal; mirror data corresponding to the target application is operated in the first container, therefore, the target application installed in theterminal is operated in the first container, and service requests for the target application are processed by utilizing the first container; new mirror data corresponding to the updated target application is acquired on the basis of the updating information; and the first container is updated according to the new mirror data to complete the updating process of the target application. The embodiment of the invention further discloses the terminal, a server and an application upgrading system.

The invention provides a method for upgrading AP firmware. The method comprises the steps that when firmware upgrading is carried out on APs in each upgrading group, one AP in the upgrading group is selected by an AC, and firmware upgrading is carried out on the AP; the AC informs the APs without firmware upgrading to be the specified APs obtained after firmware upgrading, the APs without firmware upgrading are correlated to the specified APs obtained after firmware upgrading for firmware upgrading, and after firmware upgrading is finished, the AC is restarted and correlated; the step is repeated until no AP without firmware upgrading exists in the upgrading groups. Based on the same inventive concept, the invention further provides an AP firmware upgrading device. In the AP firmware upgrading process, consumption of bandwidths between the AC and the APs can be reduced, and AP firmware upgrading time can be reduced.

The invention discloses a method for upgrading server firmware. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, storing the server firmware in a pre-created firmware packet, directly acquiring thefirmware packet when needing to upgrade original firmware in the server, and then analyzing a firmware packet to obtain target firmware corresponding to the original firmware in the upgraded server without respectively acquiring related target firmware from different storage regions; and finally upgrading the original firmware in the corresponding server according to the target firmware. The server firmware upgrade process is simplified, the upgrade time is saved, and the user experience is improved. Furthermore, the invention further discloses a device and equipment for upgrading the server firmware and a readable storage medium with the above effect.
