Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a system for upgrading an interactive internet protocol television (IPTV) set top box (STB). The upgrading method has the steps as follows: appointing a hardware model file and the hardware model of an upgrade software mirroring file by an upgrade server, and establishing an independent check value file; and downloading the proof test valve file by the IPTV STB, checking the downloaded hardware model file and the upgrade software mirroring file by using the check value, judging whether the hardware models of the STB, the hardware model file and the upgrade software mirroring file are consistent or not, and completing the upgrading process by the IPTV STB through the upgrade software mirroring file when the check is successful and the models thereof are consistent. The invention appoints the definitions of the hardware model file and the hardware model of the upgrade software mirroring, has simple checks on the hardware model and the upgrade software mirroring, can be compatible with upgrade of various hardware platforms, ensures upgrading safety, and has the characteristics of simple scheme, easy realization and good compatibility.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of interactive network television (IPTV), in particular to an upgrade method and system of an IPTV set-top box. Background technique [0002] With the expansion of the IPTV (Internet Protocol television) set-top box market, the competition of IPTV set-top boxes is becoming more and more fierce. Considering the cost pressure, set-top boxes with various hardware platforms have appeared, and various models have emerged on the market. The hardware version of the set-top box. The hardware versions of various types of set-top boxes need to be maintained by each manufacturer individually, and the software often needs to be updated. [0003] At present, there are many upgrade methods for IPTV set-top boxes, such as HTTP upgrade, multicast upgrade, and USB upgrade; various upgrade methods also take into account the reliability of the upgrade, such as through CRC (Cyclical Redundancy) or ECC (error Correction code, ...
