Technical field
The present invention relates to field of set-top, without the need to again searching for the method can watching program after particularly relating to a kind of Set Top Box online upgrading.
Background technology
In the epoch that Digital Television is popularized day by day, all there is the demand of software upgrading in each digital-TV operator, these demands or in order to solve software issue or in order to increase new software function.
Generally broadcast " upgrading stream " by the front end in operator to realize to the upgrading of Set Top Box.Set-top box software is generally using .bin as suffix, bin and binary, and expression is a binary file, in this bin file, contain multiple module.Then with instrument, this binary file can be converted to ts formatted file, the ts formatted file that this converts is exactly " upgrading stream ".Ts and transport stream, this is a kind of form that digital television information transmits.The front end of operator is made up of the equipment such as multiplexer, modulator." upgrading stream " is sent into multiplexer by operator, and eventually passing modulator is transferred in network by upgrade information; After Set Top Box receives upgrade information, upgrading will be carried out to the software in Set Top Box and upgrade.
Have in bin file one " program data library module ", this module is used for depositing programme information, no matter but whether this module houses programme information, all can fixedly take certain space.
At present all be new procedures by whole legacy code update all to set top box upgrading, by the intact writing machine top box of new procedures, override whole legacy code, so after set top box upgrading completes, the programme information deposited in program database is fallen clearly in capital, after making user want duplicate removal new search program, normally could watch program, this point greatly reduces the experience of user.
Summary of the invention
Object of the present invention is just to provide one to solve the problem, without the need to again searching for the method can watching program after Set Top Box online upgrading.
To achieve these goals, the technical solution used in the present invention is: without the need to again searching for the method can watching program after a kind of Set Top Box online upgrading, the software program of described Set Top Box is primarily of startup module, main program module, online upgrading module, system data module and program data library module composition, and write on a formation bin file in FLASH, the method of carrying out online upgrading is as follows
When the position of program data module before and after online upgrading in FLASH and size are all without change, not upgrade program data library module, other modules of only upgrading, thus after online upgrading completes, just be present in programme information in Set Top Box, can program be watched without the need to user search;
When the position of program data module before and after online upgrading in FLASH or size change to some extent, first serial ports is carried out to a Set Top Box or USB mode is upgraded, be new software by set top box upgrading, and then searching programs, at this moment program data library module has just had the information of program, then at this moment whole software read out with serial ports by again, this software read out is called preset software, be that upgrading is spread and is put in network again by preset software development, Set Top Box is upgraded together with program data library module, after online upgrading completes, just programme information is present in Set Top Box, program can be watched without the need to user search.
As preferably, not upgrade program data library module, the method of other modules of only upgrading is, by cutting software, program data library module is cropped from the bin file of upgrading stream, then the upgrading stream without program data library module is produced, online upgrading is not upgraded program data library module, other modules of only upgrading.
As preferably, when reading preset software, if Set Top Box does not support serial ports reader, FLASH can be taken off, by fever writes, whole software be read out.
Compared with prior art, the invention has the advantages that: can after set top box upgrading is complete, without the need to user again searching programs; Or even set top box upgrading complete after, not this link of searching programs again, user just normally can watch program, thus greatly improves the experience of user.
Accompanying drawing explanation
Fig. 1 is the structural representation of the set-top box software module before upgrading;
Fig. 2,3,4,5 is the structural representation of the set-top box software module after upgrading.
Embodiment
Embodiment: the invention will be further described below.
Set-top box software writes in FLASH, and the Chinese of FLASH is flash memory, even if the data power-off in FLASH also can exist, FLASH has size.
Set-top box software is generally made up of different modules, namely a final bin file is constituted by different modules, suppose that the size of FLASH is 1024K, below the module that comprises of several schematic diagram bin file of indicating a 1024K size, and the space shared by each module:
Suppose that the software shown in Fig. 1 is old software V1.0; Remaining Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5 represent new software V2.0.The software that operator will use the software of V2.0 to remove upgrading V1.0.Contrast these schematic diagrames, we can find that program data library module has following four kinds of situations:
The first:
Fig. 1 with Fig. 2 compares, and position, the size of database all do not change.Program data library module is still in last position, is namely positioned at this region of 832K ~ 1024K, size or 192K.
The second:
Fig. 1 with Fig. 3 compares, and the position of database has become, but size does not become.Program data library module has been placed in before system data module, is positioned at this region of 704K ~ 896K, size or 192K.
The third:
Fig. 1 with Fig. 4 compares, and the position of database has become, and size has also become.Program data library module has been placed in before system data module, and be positioned at this region of 704K ~ 832K, size becomes 128K from 192K.
4th kind:
Fig. 1 with Fig. 5 compares, and the position of database does not become, but size has become.Program data library module is still in last position, and be positioned at this region of 896K ~ 1024K, size becomes 128K from 192K.
For the first situation, we can try every possible means other modules of only upgrading, and do not remove upgrading program data library module, thus after online upgrading completes, just have program data, can watch program without the need to user search inside Set Top Box.By cutting software, program data library module is cropped from the bin file of upgrading stream, then produce the upgrading stream without program data library module, this object can be reached.
For second and third, four kinds of situations, because other module sections take or all occupy the region of program data library module, will inevitably program database be override, program data library module of not upgrading can not be accomplished, after causing online upgrading to complete, user also needs removal search program.But we first carry out the mode such as serial ports or USB to a Set Top Box and upgrade, be new software by set top box upgrading, and then searching programs, at this moment program data library module has just had the information of program; Then whole software reads out with serial ports by again, this software read out is called preset software by us, if Set Top Box does not support serial ports reader, FLASH can be taken off, with special instrument, whole software is read out, equipment is generally fever writes, is a equipment relatively commonly used.Then be that upgrading is spread and is put in network by preset software development, such Set Top Box can be upgraded together with program data library module, after having upgraded, is just present in programme information in Set Top Box, can watch program without the need to user search.
To sum up, core of the present invention is after ensureing that online upgrading completes, and just there is programme information in Set Top Box, thus without the need to searching for the effect just watching program after realizing upgrade.In order to reach this point, jumping out the mindset of being carried out by intact for new procedures write FLASH upgrading, having proposed the way of do not upgrade program database and pre-set program database, suitable transformation is carried out to new procedures.Wherein the compatibility of the way of pre-set program database is wider, also can be used in the first situation.
Exhaustive presentation has been carried out without the need to again searching for the method can watching program above to after Set Top Box online upgrading provided by the present invention, apply specific case herein to set forth principle of the present invention and execution mode, the explanation of above embodiment just understands method of the present invention and core concept thereof for helping; Simultaneously, for one of ordinary skill in the art, according to thought of the present invention, all will change in specific embodiments and applications, to change of the present invention and improve will be possible, and design and the scope of accessory claim defined can not be exceeded, in sum, this description should not be construed as limitation of the present invention.
