Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of system software upgrading method of household appliances, promptly utilize digital broadcasting transmitter, download the method for the recent systems software upgrading household appliances of household appliances.
Background technology
Recently the household appliances of listing in order to adapt to the requirement of multimedia era, have diversified function.Different with the classic household appliances in past, in order to improve the performance of system software, perhaps go to add new function, feel the necessity that system software is upgraded further.
Recently, along with the development of mass storage and microelectric technique, various household appliances have also become high performance.So a kind of flash memory that stores various corresponding programs is housed in household appliances.According to user's working rule, when input operation signal, central processing unit accesses program from flash memory, and carries out the compulsory exercise corresponding to this program.
And such household appliances in the flash memory of portion, are being stored the various programs of relevant product action within it, and are being removed to control the whole operational process of household appliances according to this information.For the performance that improves these programs with append new function, just these program upgrades should be arrived up-to-date system software.
In more detail, for new service function is provided, perhaps the obtained service function that provides before change or the raising need be removed upgrade-system software; Just should record new system software in the storer for this reason, perhaps use recent systems software after changing, substitute the corresponding system software that has been stored in the storer.
As mentioned above,, exist following problem traditionally, that is: need the user being with household appliances to go to visit service specified unit in person, perhaps the manufacturing firm of these household appliances for the system software of the household appliances of upgrading; Perhaps go to finish upgrade job by the direct calling party of the attendant of service unit.
Fig. 1 is the instance graph that the system software of traditional home appliance product is carried out upgrade method.
The user utilizes PC (110) to connect the household appliances by the operation of household electrical appliances company, such as manufacturing firm's server (120) of televisor (100); Then by the Internet (140) and the household appliances recent systems software upgrade information that provides by household electrical appliances company, download the recent software of having upgraded, utilize cable (130) to connect PC and household appliances then, and download the recent systems software of having upgraded to the flash memory (130) of household appliances from PC.
But as mentioned above, the user utilizes the upgrade system software method of household appliances of PC, exists when wanting upgrade software, all must go to connect the problem of the inconvenience of PC and household appliances.
And the user manually connects after personal computer and the household appliances, goes to operate downloading by PC and by the user, therefore may produce because of the user makes to download and carry out the problem of misoperation.
Summary of the invention
The system software upgrading method that the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of household appliances, the user only passes through the simple operations of a set-top box, just can upgrade to the system software of each household appliances in the family at an easy rate, thereby has the effect of using the most advanced and sophisticated household appliances that possess multiple function easily, with the performance that improves product with append new function, improve the use dirigibility of household appliances, and can satisfy the demand of consumer up-to-date household appliances.
The object of the present invention is achieved like this: the system software upgrading method of these household appliances has following phase characteristic, is provided with the stage that a user is provided in the household appliances system software upgrading information data broadcasting that is provided by broadcasting office by upgrading household appliances system software that is:; Be provided with a system software of from data broadcasting, selecting the upgrading household appliances, by the Internet from the server of household electrical appliances company stage to data broadcast receiver download system software; Also be provided with one download to finish after, the stage that the system software of household appliances is upgraded.
Also having a feature is the user selects the upgrading household appliances from data broadcasting system software, and the household electrical appliances corporate server by providing in the link data broadcasting makes the household electrical appliances corporate server directly be connected with digital broadcasting transmitter.
Also have a feature to be, digital broadcasting transmitter and household appliances are formed the one family network.
In addition, the system software upgrading method of the another kind of household appliances of the present invention has following phase characteristic, that is: be provided with a user in the household appliances system software upgrading information data broadcasting that provides by broadcasting office, select the stage of upgrading household appliances system software; Be provided with a system software of from data broadcasting, selecting the upgrading household appliances, the system software data that identification and the broadcasting of system software upgrading information data together provide, and to stage of data broadcast receiver download system software; Also be provided with one download to finish after, the stage that the system software of household appliances is upgraded.
The recent systems software data that to also have a feature be household appliances in data broadcasting is provided to broadcasting office by the Internet by the household electrical appliances corporate server.
Also have a feature to be, digital broadcasting transmitter and household appliances are formed the one family network.
Recently, along with the digitrend of fast development, carrying out the standardized work of digital television broadcasting, what wherein have has begun concrete service.Especially in Europe, at the related conference IBC of broadcasting of Europe maximum (international broadcasting convention: the international broadcasting meeting), appellation HD-DIVINE (high definition-digital video narrow-bandemission: since the ground wave digital high-definition television broadcasting high-definition digital video narrow emission), be the cause that unit has launched relevant digital television broadcasting with countries and regions is disclosed first.
Digital broadcasting is compared with present analog broadcasting, can provide very high image quality and acoustic mass, so need develop the Digital Television that satisfies this strict demand.
And in order to prepare digital broadcasting, many enterprises are developing the digital television and the digital broadcasting transmitter that can remove receiving digital broadcast and data broadcasting, i.e. set-top box (STB).
Along with coming on stage of digital television and high performance set-top box etc., the central processing unit (CPU) and the storer of suitable level also is housed in household appliances, thereby just in time can with digital television or set-top box as the home server network that founds a family.
The present invention utilizes the data broadcasting by the set-top box transmission of each family of television broadcasting office direction, broadcasts the recent systems software information of household appliances, and carries the recent systems software of household appliances by broadcast data stream; Therefore the user only by the simple operations of a set-top box, just can upgrade to the system software of each household appliances in the family at an easy rate, thereby has the effect of using the most advanced and sophisticated household appliances with multiple function easily.
In addition, the present invention is after the user buys household appliances, the last word of these household electrical appliances even if gone on the market again, also can easily upgrade and have the system software of household appliances now, thereby still can expect to improve the performance of product and append new function, improve the use dirigibility of household appliances, and can satisfy the demand of consumer up-to-date household appliances.
