Problems solved by technology

[0003] This implementation method has many disadvantages: 1. The string for configuring the trigger upgrade information is very long, requiring manual input, and the configuration is cumbersome; 2. The upgrade condition is inserted in the EPG table, which is prone to configuration problems, which will cause the set-top box upgrade to fail or the user The trigger information cannot be received; 3. If the smart card ID number is not continuous when upgrading, multiple trigger conditions need to be inserted repeatedly, resulting in the increase of the EPG table, even exceeding the size required by the digital video broadcasting standard DVB specification

Embodiment 1

[0015] Example 1. A method for upgrading a terminal set-top box, such as Figure 1 ~ Figure 2 shown. In this embodiment, after receiving the trigger information, the set-top box judges whether the condition is met, and if so, performs software upgrade. It includes the following steps:

[0016] (1) Send an upgrade trigger CA-MAIL command in the network; (2) Turn on the terminal set-top box and receive the CA-MAIL command sent to the local smart card; (3) The set-top box automatically judges the type of the CA-MAIL command, if it is an upgrade type mail, then analyze the upgrade information in CA-MAIL, and enter the following upgrade condition judgment step; if it is not an upgrade class mail, then carry out other processing; (4) upgrade condition judgment step: the set-top box automatically judges the production of the update logo in CA-MAI Whether the manufacturer and hardware version OUI and the software type and version are consistent with the relevant information of the ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for upgrading a terminal set-top box, and belongs to the technology of the set-top box. The method comprises the following steps of: transmitting an upgrading trigger camail instruction in a network; opening the terminal set-top box to receive the instruction; judging the type of the instruction; judging upgrading conditions; judging whether a manufacturer of an updating mark, hardware version OUI and software type and version are consistent with related information of the set-top box; and selecting by a user: if the user selects yes, performing the following upgrading processes in turn: starting a software application of the set-top box, tuning the application to a corresponding frequency point to download updating data according to information provided by the updating mark; verifying the downloaded data; and updating the software of the set-top box and the like. Information for triggering the upgrading of the set-top box software is transmitted by adopting camail, so that the method has the advantages of no need of manual input, simple configuration, higher accuracy, high reliability and capability of avoiding configuration problem or upgrading failure and more efficiently triggering the upgrading of the terminal set-top box without the inserting of multiple triggering conditions.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of radio and television set-top boxes, and more specifically relates to the improvement and innovation of an upgrade method for a terminal set-top box. Background technique [0002] The current upgrade method of the set-top box is: use the method of inserting a private descriptor in the network information table (NIT) of the electronic program guide (EPG) to issue the trigger upgrade information; ; If so, upgrade the software. [0003] This implementation method has many disadvantages: 1. The string for configuring the trigger upgrade information is very long, requiring manual input, and the configuration is cumbersome; 2. The upgrade condition is inserted in the EPG table, which is prone to configuration problems, which will cause the set-top box upgrade to fail or the user 3. When upgrading a smart card whose ID number is not continuous, multiple trigger conditions need to be inserted repeatedly, resultin...
