Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for downloading an application program using a set top box is provided to prevent a service from being delayed owing to unnecessary download of the application program, by enabling the application program to be downloaded only when it is necessary in the set top box. CONSTITUTION: When power supply is applied to a set-top box, a controller performs a booting operation(200). The controller accesses a server via a network, and then receives the version of the application program that will be downloaded from the server(202). The controller determines if the received version thereof equals to the version thereof which is stored in a flash memory(204). If two versions equal to each other, the application program presently stored the flash memory is executed(210). If the two versions does not equal to each other, the controller receives the application program and its version from the server via the network(206). The received application program and its version are stored in the flash memory(208).

And a detailed description of known functions and configurations that may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention will be omitted.

본 발명이 적용가능한 옥내수신장치인 셋탑박스의 개략적인 구성도를 도시한 도 1을 참조하면, 제어부(100)는 상기 셋탑박스를 전반적으로 제어함은 물론이고 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예에 따라 응용 프로그램을 다운로드받는다. 롬(102)과 플래쉬 메모리(106)는 상기 제어부(100)의 처리 프로그램 및 오퍼레이팅 시스템 등을 저장한다. 램(104)은 상기 제어부(100)의 프로그램 수행시 발생할 수 있는 데이타를 임시저장한다. 그리고 응용 프로그램 저장용 플래쉬 메모리(110)에는 다운로드받은 응용 프로그램이 저장된다. 네트워크 인터페이스(106)는 네트워크에 연결된 서버와 셋탑박스간을 인터페이스한다. 상기 서버는 네트워크를 통해 업버전된 오퍼레이팅 시스템이나 응용 프로그램을 셋탑박스에 다운로드한다.Referring to Figure 1 showing a schematic configuration diagram of a set-top box which is an indoor receiving apparatus applicable to the present invention, the control unit 100 controls the set-top box as a whole, as well as the application according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention Download the program. The ROM 102 and the flash memory 106 store a processing program, an operating system, and the like of the controller 100. The RAM 104 temporarily stores data that may occur when the controller 100 executes a program. In addition, the downloaded application program is stored in the flash memory 110 for storing the application program. The network interface 106 interfaces between the server and the set-top box connected to the network. The server downloads the upgraded operating system or application via the network to the set-top box.

이러한 셋탑박스에 적용가능한 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예에 따른 처리 흐름도를 도시한 도 2를 참조하면, 제어부(100)는 셋탑박스에 전원이 입력되면 (200)단계로 진행하여 부팅을 수행한다. 이렇게 부팅이 완료된 후에 제어부(100)는 (202)단계로 진행하여 네트워크를 통해 서버와 연결된 후에, 서버로부터 다운로드받을 응용 프로그램의 버전을 제공받는다. 이러한 방식으로 다운로드받을 응용 프로그램의 버전을 제공받은 후에 제어부(100)는 (204)단계로 진행하여 다운로드받을 응용 프로그램의 버전이 응용 프로그램 저장용 플래쉬 메모리(110)에 저장되어 있는 응용 프로그램의 버전과 동일한지를 검색한다. 여기서, 상기 응용 프로그램의 버전은 상기 응용 프로그램의 다운로드시에 함께 다운로드되어 상기 응용 프로그램 저장용 플래쉬 메모리(110)에 저장된다. 상기 제어부(100)는 다운로드받을 응용 프로그램의 버전이 응용 프로그램 저장용 플래쉬 메모리(110)에 저장된 응용 프로그램의 버전과 동일하지 않으면 (206)단계로 진행하고, 그렇지 않으면 (210)단계로 진행하여 현재 응용 프로그램 저장용 플래쉬 메모리(110)에 저장된 응용 프로그램을 실행한다.Referring to FIG. 2, which shows a process flow diagram according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention applicable to such a set-top box, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 200 when booting is performed when power is input to the set-top box. After the booting is completed, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 202 and is connected with a server through a network, and receives a version of an application program to be downloaded from the server. After receiving the version of the application to be downloaded in this manner, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 204 in which the version of the application to be downloaded is the version of the application stored in the flash memory 110 for application storage. Search for equality Here, the version of the application program is downloaded together with the download of the application program and stored in the flash memory 110 for storing the application program. The control unit 100 proceeds to step 206 if the version of the application program to be downloaded is not the same as the version of the application program stored in the flash memory 110 for storing the application program, otherwise proceeds to step 210 to present The application program stored in the flash memory 110 for storing the application program is executed.

그리고 상기 (206)단계에서 제어부(100)는 네트워크를 통해 서버로부터 응용 프로그램 및 그 응용 프로그램의 버전을 다운로드받는다. 이렇게 응용 프로그램을 다운로드받은 후에 제어부(100)는 (208)단계로 진행하여 다운로드받은 응용 프로그램 및 그 응용 프로그램의 버전을 응용 프로그램 저장용 플래쉬 메모리(110)에 저장한다. 이후 상기 제어부(100)는 (210)단계로 진행하여 응용 프로그램 저장용 플래쉬 메모리(110)에 저장된 응용 프로그램을 실행한다.In step 206, the control unit 100 downloads an application program and a version of the application program from a server through a network. After downloading the application program as described above, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 208 and stores the downloaded application program and its version in the application memory storage flash memory 110. Thereafter, the control unit 100 proceeds to step 210 to execute the application program stored in the flash memory 110 for storing the application program.

이와같이 본 발명은 응용 프로그램을 다운로드받은 후에 저장해두었다가 다운로드받을 응용 프로그램이 업버전됨에 따라 저장된 응용 프로그램의 버전과 다운로드받을 응용 프로그램의 버전이 상이해질 때에만 응용 프로그램을 다운로드받는다.As described above, according to the present invention, after the application is downloaded, the application is downloaded only when the version of the stored application is different from the version of the application to be downloaded as the application to be downloaded is upgraded.

상술한 바와 같이 본 발명은 옥내수신장치에서 응용 프로그램을 필요시에만 다운로드하도록 하여 응용 프로그램의 불필요한 다운로드로 인하여 서비스가 지연되는 것을 방지하는 이점이 있다.As described above, the present invention has the advantage of preventing the service delay due to unnecessary download of the application by only downloading the application when necessary in the indoor receiving apparatus.
