Embodiment 1

[0027] The method for upgrading the set-top box software of the present invention, such as figure 1 ,include:

[0028] S101. When the set-top box is receiving a program, it is detected in real time whether there is an upgrade request in the code stream; if so, step S102 is executed;

[0029] S102, judge whether the frequency point of the current program is in the frequency point of the download stream, there may be one frequency point of the download stream, or there may be multiple, at this time, it is necessary to judge whether the frequency point of the program currently watched by the user belongs to the frequency point of the download stream One of the points; if yes, execute step S105; otherwise, execute step S103;

[0030] S103. Prompt the user whether to jump to the frequency point of the download stream to download, if the user selects yes, then execute step S106; if the user selects no, then execute step S104;

[0031] S104, download the upgrade data again when the...

Embodiment 2

[0037] Corresponding to the method for upgrading the set-top box software in Embodiment 1, this embodiment discloses a device for upgrading the software of the set-top box, such as figure 2 , including: a detection module, a judgment processing module, a download module and a writing module;

[0038] When the set-top box receives a program, the detection module detects whether there is an upgrade request in the code stream in real time, and if so, then notifies the judgment processing module to judge whether the frequency point of the current program is in the frequency point of the download stream; the frequency point of the download stream can have one, There can also be more than one. At this time, it is necessary to judge whether the frequency point of the program currently watched by the user belongs to one of the frequency points of the download stream;

[0039] When judging that the frequency point of the current program is in the frequency point of the download stream...

Embodiment 3

[0043] This embodiment discloses a set-top box, such as image 3 , which includes: a receiving module, a detecting module, a judging processing module, a downloading module, a writing module and a memory;

[0044] When the receiving module receives a program, the detection module detects whether there is an upgrade request in the code stream in real time, and if so, then notifies the judgment processing module to judge whether the frequency point of the current program is in the frequency point of the download stream; the frequency point of the download stream can have a , or there may be more than one. At this time, it is necessary to judge whether the frequency point of the program currently watched by the user belongs to one of the frequency points of the download stream;

[0045] When judging that the frequency point of the current program is in the frequency point of the download stream, the judgment processing module notifies the download module to download the upgrade d...

Abstract

The invention discloses a set-top box as well as a method and a device for set-top box software upgrading. The method comprises the following steps of: S101, detecting whether an upgrading request is available or not in a code stream in real time when the set-top box receives a program, if so, executing the step S102; S102, judging whether a frequency point of a current program is in the frequency point of a downloading stream or not, if so, executing the step S105, and otherwise, executing the step S103; S103, hinting whether a subscriber jumps to the frequency point of the downloading stream for downloading or not, if so, executing the step S106, and otherwise, executing the step S104; and S104, then downloading upgrading data when the subscriber switches to the frequency point of the downloading stream, and writing the upgrading data into a memory of the set-top box after the downloading is completed. The method ensures that the subscriber can download the upgrading data while watching the program and have better experience, and has no influence on the subscriber to watch the program.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a set-top box, in particular to a method and device for upgrading the software of the set-top box, and a set-top box. Background technique [0002] At present, the way to upgrade the set-top box software over the air is that the set-top box detects whether there is an upgrade request in the code stream in real time when receiving the program, and if so, enters a dedicated upgrade program (Loader) to upgrade and download. The upgrade process is to download the upgrade data first and then proceed. flash update. [0003] Since the whole upgrade process takes 5-10 minutes, during this process, the user cannot watch the program, and the experience is not good. Contents of the invention [0004] The invention provides a set-top box software upgrading method and device thereof, and a set-top box. Users can download upgrade data while watching a program, without affecting the user watching the program, and the user experience is goo...
