Embodiment 1

[0041] Such as figure 1 As shown, on the home gateway side, the home gateway performs the following steps:

[0042] S101, acquiring upgrade parameters of the LAN side device;

[0043] The upgrade parameters here can include the manufacturer name, type, model, software version, hardware version, and IP address listed in the above table. More generally, the upgrade parameters usually include software version information. The software version information refers to the unique A collection of information identifying the software version, usually including the software type and software version number. In the case that the upgraded software is the firmware of the LAN side device, it usually includes the manufacturer name, device model, and software version number. In addition, it can also Include the IP address of the device on the LAN side. The software version information is generally stored in the software, which can be read by the home gateway. The IP address has a very matur...

Embodiment 2

[0059] Such as figure 2 As shown, on the auto-configuration server side, perform the following steps:

[0060] S201. Receive the upgrade parameters of the local area network side device sent by the home gateway;

[0061] S202. Determine whether the local area network side device meets the upgrade condition according to the upgrade parameter reported by the home gateway; if it meets the upgrade condition, execute step S203;

[0062] The upgrade condition here refers to the condition that the automatic configuration server sends the software upgrade data to meet. When this condition is met, the automatic configuration server sends the software upgrade data, otherwise it does not send. In the case that the upgrade parameter includes software version information, this condition can usually be that the reported software version of the LAN side device is lower than the version of the software upgrade information, which can be realized by comparing the software version numbers. In...

Embodiment 3

[0070] This embodiment is an embodiment of a home gateway, such as image 3 As shown, this home gateway includes:

[0071] The parameter acquisition module M301 is used to acquire the upgrade parameters of the LAN side equipment;

[0072] The upgrade parameters here can include the manufacturer name, type, model, software version, hardware version, and IP address listed in the above table. More generally, the upgrade parameters usually include software version information. The software version information refers to the unique A collection of information identifying the software version, usually including the software type and software version number. In the case that the upgraded software is the firmware of the LAN side device, it usually includes the manufacturer name, device model, and software version number. In addition, it can also Include the IP address of the device on the LAN side. The software version information is generally stored in the software, which can be rea...

Abstract

The invention provides a method for a home gateway to upgrade software of local-area network (LAN) equipment, which comprises the following steps: acquiring upgrade parameters for LAN equipment; and reporting the acquired upgrade parameters for the LAN equipment to an automatic configuration server which can acquire the software upgrade data for the LAN equipment according to the upgrade parameters. The invention further provides a method for an automatic configuration server to send software upgrade data, which comprises receiving the upgrade parameters for LAN equipment, which is sent by a home gateway; judging whether the LAN equipment meets upgrade requirements according to the upgrade parameters; and if meeting the upgrade requirements, acquiring the software upgrade data for the LAN equipment according to the upgrade parameters, and sending the software upgrade data to the LAN equipment or the home gateway. The invention further provides a home gateway, an automatic configuration server and a system used for the method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a method, device and system for distributing software upgrade data of local area network side devices. Background technique [0002] The software upgrade of the LAN-side devices (such as set-top boxes, data cards, etc.) connected to the home gateway is currently carried out through its own upgrade method. Go to the relevant website of the data card supplier to download the upgrade data or upgrade the data card online. The administrator of the entire network system cannot centrally manage and upgrade, which is not convenient for users to use, nor is it convenient for home gateway administrators and users to manage devices. [0003] The current upgrading methods of these LAN-side devices are inconvenient for the administrators of the entire network system to centrally maintain and troubleshoot the devices in each LAN. Contents of the invention [0004] Embodiments of the ...
