Embodiment

In below discussing, a large amount of details has been proposed so that complete explanation to be provided.Yet these details are optional.In other example, well-known element illustrates with the form of schematic diagram or block diagram.In addition, in most of the cases, the detail within the scope of person of ordinary skill in the relevant's understanding is omitted.

Mission controller can have the ability communicating with multi-function electronic device (MFED).Mission controller can not work separately in the situation that there is no MFED, and basic built-in non-graphic parameter user interface is provided.For spreading parameter user interface is provided, MFED can be connected to mission controller and as auxiliary user interfaces.MFED can be attached to mission controller, and wherein user can carry out with MFED alternately when using mission controller.

MFED can be the equipment such as intelligent movable phone, personal digital assistant and digital music player etc.These equipment are conventionally obtainable and conventionally programmable.By using MFED, mission controller can present and only has the graphical user interface of carrying out necessary hardware of communicating by letter with MFED, and does not need built-in LCD display, touch-screen, audio frequency output etc.Have the user of mission controller and MFED by utilizing nextport hardware component NextPort available in MFED can save the expense of the additional firmware assembly in mission controller.

Compare with the graphical user interface of personal user's computer, a lot of MFED have the ability to provide abundant graphical user interface.For input, these equipment can have touch-screen or keyboard.These equipment can be at the high resolution display having with personal computer monitor same hue scope.These equipment are through being commonly used for music player and therefore having the ability to produce high-quality audio frequency output.Some equipment can have vibration resistance.

Many MFED also have the external interface for communicating with external equipment.External equipment is personal computer normally.MFED can communicate with personal computer by external equipment, and vice versa.MFED can be by the auxiliary user interfaces that acts on mission controller.In the exemplary embodiment, MFED with used the model vehicles mission controller of external interface to communicate, allow the auxiliary user interfaces that acts on mission controller for MFED.

With reference to the Fig. 1 that has described the combination 100 of MFED102, mission controller 104 and receiver 106 according to exemplary embodiment.Mission controller 104 and receiver 106 can the radio communication in being undertaken by radio link 108 known in the art in.Irrelevant with its title, mission controller 104 and receiver 106 may all have the ability to transmit and receive radio communication.Therefore, each can be called as " transceiver " mission controller 104 and receiver 106, but in order to distinguish between these two equipment, will use term " mission controller " and " receiver " herein.

MFED102 can be smart mobile phone or digital music player.IPhone and iPodTouch that exemplary MFED Shi You Apple produces.The user that the MFED of these two examples can receive by touch-screen inputs.MFED102 can be connected to mission controller 104 by the external interface 102A of MFED102.External interface 102A can be the conventional hardware interface of MFED102, for example by MFED102, used communicate with personal computer be connected.

Mission controller 104 can have the joint (dock) for holding MFED102, so that user can more easily operate these two equipment simultaneously.Typical MFED102 compares with typical mission controller 104 can have less physical size or at least volume can be not larger.Its reason is, user utilizes the mission controller 104 Synchronization Control vehicles when can be desirably in operation MFED102.If mission controller 104 is designed to hold by two, so for user, the MFED102 that very difficult use is larger in fact carries out work.

MFED102 can carry out the software application communicating with mission controller 104.Software application can offer MFED102 by the Internet download.For a lot of MFED, the Internet download is general software application delivery method.

Mission controller 104 can have processor 104A.Processor 104A can determine which output signal is sent to receiver 106 by radio link 108.Can be according to determining output signal from controlling user's input of user interface 104B and the one or more parameters that are stored in memory 104C.Controlling user interface 104B can be the assembly of mission controller 104, and mission controller 104 allows user directly to control the operation of the model vehicles.These assemblies can comprise steering wheel and throttle starter.Once processor 104A determines the output signal that launch, it just can pass through radio-frequency module transmitted signal.

Mission controller 104 can be connected to by auxiliary user interfaces connector 104E the external interface 102A of MFED102.Connection between external interface 102A and auxiliary user interfaces connector 104E can be wired or wireless, and wired connection can be passed through directly contact or pass through the cable between these two equipment.In certain embodiments, auxiliary user interfaces connector 104E can comprise cable, and one end of cable is forever attached to mission controller 104.

Wireless connections between external interface 102A and auxiliary user interfaces connector 104E can be that bluetooth connects.Wireless connections between external interface 102A and auxiliary user interfaces connector 104E can be also to use the WLAN such as IEEE802.11 standard (being also referred to as Wi-Fi) to connect.External interface 102A and auxiliary user interfaces connector 104E also can comprise bluetooth or 802.11 transceivers.MFED102 can be intelligent movable mobile phone, and a lot of intelligent movable mobile phone comprises bluetooth and 802.11 transceivers.Auxiliary user interfaces 104E can be used and is built in bluetooth or 802.11 transceivers of mission controller 104 or has bluetooth or the external adapter of 802.11 transceivers (dongle).

Use an advantage of the wireless connections between external interface 102A and auxiliary user interfaces connector 104E to be, single mission controller 104 can be easy to support dissimilar MFED102.Different MFED manufacturers can be used different physical connections for its MFED.Therefore, mission controller 104 may need independent external interface 102A for the MFED of each type.In contrast, the wireless standard such as bluetooth or 802.11 can obtain the support of plurality of devices conventionally.

Use another advantage of the wireless connections between external interface 102A and auxiliary user interfaces connector 104E to be, wireless connections allow MFED102 from mission controller 104 separation.For example, user's connecting rod can be used MFED102 when user continues to use the mission controller 104 operation vehicles.And if use the WLAN such as IEEE802.11 to connect, so a plurality of MFED102 can communicate with single mission controller 104 simultaneously.Therefore, user and user's connecting rod can have separately the MFED102 working when user uses mission controller 104 to control the vehicles.

When MFED102 is not connected, user can revise the parameter in memory 104C by parametric user's interface 104D.Parameter interface 104D can allow user to revise the underlying parameter such as servomotor reversion, steering sensitivity and throttle sensitivity.These underlying parameters may be enough for user's operation model vehicles, but may be subject to the restriction of the input and output ability of parameter interface 104D.

When user connects MFED102 to auxiliary user interfaces connector 104E, MFED102 can offer user and allow user to acquire the graphical user interface of the access rights of additional parameter and additional feedback.MFED102 also can provide the figure of parameter value to show, because they arrange by parameter interface 104D.

With reference to figure 2, described exemplary " panel board " 200 that MFED can offer user's user interface element.Panel board has shown the several data that comprises engine temperature, engine RPM, vehicle speed and cell voltage obtaining from the telemetering pickup being arranged on the model vehicles for user graphically.Panel board 200 has also shown the maximum speed of the vehicles of following the tracks of according to vehicle speed telemetry for MFED during this period of time.As more fully shown and describe having in Figure 13, user can be configured in the user interface element shown in panel board, with and about the layout of user's hobby.

With reference to figure 1, the configuration of panel board can be stored in parameter and arrange and concentrate as parameter set, and parameter set is only used when MFED102 connects.Graphical user interface also can offer user to the access rights of identical parameters and available feedback by independent mission controller 104.Parametric user's interface 104D may become and cannot use when MFED102 connects.

For display parameters, auxiliary user interfaces equipment 102 can ask the parameter of self processor 104A.In response to request, parameter 104A can be sent to MFED102 from memory 104C by parameter.

When user selects to revise the parameter of using MFED102, MFED102 is sent to transmission control unit (TCU) 104 by parameter instruction.Parameter instruction instruction processorunit 104A revises the parameter in memory 104C according to user's input.

MFED102 can transmit signal to the vehicles by mission controller 104, also can from the vehicles, receive signal by mission controller.By the graphical user interface being provided by MFED102, user can arrange the many kinds of parameters being stored in memory 104C.User can be in the operation model vehicles or in the inoperation vehicles or in two kinds of situations, the parameter that setting can arrange in memory 104C.

MFED102 can stored parameter arranges collection inventory and selects for user.The graphical user interface of MFED102 provides checks and edits the easy way that these parameters arrange collection.When user has selected parameter, when collection is set, MFED102 can indicate mission controller 104 storages that the parameter of collection is set for this parameter in memory 104C.MFED102 also can arrange according to selected parameter collection configuration self, for example, show the panel board that concentrated parameter appointment is set by the parameter of selecting.

The exemplary parameter that can use MFED102 to arrange is the maximum power parameter reducing.Maximum power parameter can be expressed as " bare maximum " power of the motor that offers the model vehicles that receiver can cause ¹percentage.It is relevant that mission controller 104 can all be interpreted as to maximum power parameter by the acceleration by control user interface 104B appointment.Maximum power parameter allows user to reduce the amount of the power that can offer motor, thereby allows unfamiliar user more easily to safeguard the control to the model vehicles.Maximum power parameter can or comprise that user arranges when mobile throttle trigger movement simultaneously in real time when the vehicles are static.

For example, the acceleration of the hypothesized model vehicles is controlled by being positioned at the throttle trigger of controlling on user interface 104B, and maximum power parameter is set to 20%.User can mobile throttle trigger to maximum throttle position, to indicate mission controller 104 to be provided to the input of 100% maximum power parameter of motor.Mission controller 104 will cause that receiver 106 is to 100% of the maximum power parameter of motor application 20%, and applied power is 20% absolute maximum power.If input is indication mission controller 104 provides half throttle position from 50% maximum power parameter to motor, mission controller 104 is provided to 10% absolute maximum power to motor by indication receiver 106 so.If input is indication mission controller 104 provides 1/4th throttle position from 25% maximum power parameter to motor, mission controller 104 provides 5% absolute maximum power to arrive motor etc. indication receiver 106 so.

With reference to figure 3, described to show the curve chart 300 of the impact that two exemplary maximum power parameters arrange.Curve 304A and 304B have shown that the throttle position between empty throttle (neutral throttle) position and maximum throttle position offers the power of motor.For curve 304A, maximum power parameter is set to 100%.Curve 304A is progressively increased to the absolute maximum power that offers motor of maximum throttle position from the power that do not provide of empty throttle position to motor.For curve 304B, maximum power parameter is set to 50%.For each throttle position, the power that offers motor in curve 304B be in curve 304A, offer motor power 50%.In maximum throttle position, in curve 304B, by 50% of absolute maximum power, offer motor.

MFED102 provides for adjusting the graphic interface easily of maximum power parameter.Reference diagram ¹power offers the motor of the model vehicles usually used as square wave, and the acceleration of the Duty ratio control vehicles of square wave.Technically, in this case, the acceleration of the model vehicles along with offer motor power average magnitude and change.For simplicity, discussion herein will be mentioned " amount " of provided power all the time, and in this case, " amount " of power should be understood to mean that the average amount of power.4, described the exemplary maximum power parameter display 400 that can show by the touch-screen of MFED.In Fig. 4, maximum power parameter is described to " throttle rank ".Display 400 simultaneously graphical and digitlization has shown current maximum power parameter.Display 400 permitted user are easily seen the maximum power parameter on large-scale probable value, for example any integer percentage between 5% to 100%.

Display 400 works together with the knob being positioned on mission controller.User uses knob to adjust maximum power parameter, and maximum power parameter display is in display 400.In being set, maximum power parameter use display 400 in Figure 14, to have more complete demonstration and description.In alternate embodiment, user can adjust simultaneously and observe maximum power parameter with the touch-screen of MFED.

With reference to figure 5, described for the illustrative methods 500 of maximum power parameter is set.At 502, MFED, offer user graphical interface, for example, at Fig. 5, describe for the slide block of maximum power parameter is set.At 504, MFED, by slide block, receive user's setting.At 506, MFED, setting is sent to the processor of mission controller.508, the processor of mission controller by maximum power Parameter storage in the memory of mission controller.When the input to from controlling user interface makes an explanation, then mission controller processor can fetch maximum power parameter from memory.As mentioned above, by control user interface appointment the model vehicles acceleration can with maximum power parameter correlation.

With reference to figure 1, receiver 106 can have the receiver ID112 being positioned on electronic security(ELSEC) protection chip.Receiver ID112 can identify to MFED102 the identity of receiver 106.First, receiver ID112 can have the 112A of globally unique identifier (GUID), and it identifies specific receiver 106 and other receiver uniquely.Secondly, receiver ID112 can have model/version ID112B, and it is arranged in vehicles receiver 106 and identifies vehicles receiver 106.

Model/version ID112B can identify the model vehicles in one of two ways.First, model/version ID112B can identify model and the version of the model vehicles, and this is because model/version ID112B is unique to the model of the model vehicles and version.Secondly, model/version ID112B can identify the model vehicles, because the model vehicles have been provided with receiver 106 manufactured after out.This is possible, because receiver 106 has replaced the previous receiver for the model vehicles.

MFED102 can store the model/version database 116 having for the configuration data of multiple vehicles model and version.Exemplary configuration data in model/version database 116 can comprise:

● how the user interface of MFED102 should be configured for model and version;

● for the vehicles special pattern of the user interface of MFED102;

● for example, for calculating the essential vehicles feature of vehicle speed, gear ratio and diameter of tyres;

● for example, about the Default Value of imperative operation parameter (end points and servomotor reversion).

With reference to figure 6, described the exemplary method 600 that automatic configuration mission controller and MFED operate with specific model and the version of the vehicles that use a model.602, when having the mission controller of MFED and having and set up dedicated radio link between the receiver of model/version ID, receiver can offer MFED by model/version ID by dedicated radio link and mission controller.At 604, MFED, can identify model vehicles model and the version corresponding to model/version ID.If model/version ID is the receiver for the installation after the manufacture at the model vehicles, MFED can point out user to select model and version so.

In either case, MFED can obtain for the model that identifies and the configuration data of version in model/version database.MFED can configure self to have the function of appointment by configuration data.For example, MFED can present specific to the panel board of the specific model of the model vehicles and the telemetry of version.MFED also can the parameter of configuration store in mission controller memory.Parameter setting in 606, MFED self-configuring in the future data offers mission controller processor.608, mission controller processor can be stored in these parameter settings in mission controller memory.

Except using the automatic configuration of model/version database, the MFED history feature that can supply a model.Model history feature can provide " storage " message of the message relevant to each model vehicles, and each model vehicles is controlled by the mission controller that is connected to MFED.From essence, model history feature can record respectively whole model for each model vehicles configuration is set.When mission controller reconnects in these model vehicles, MFED can be identified the vehicles and be provided using a model of being recorded by model history feature that the option of configuration is set by the GUID of its receiver.For having the user of a plurality of vehicles with custom configuration data, when each vehicles is connected, model history feature can be saved the material time of the configuration that resets each vehicles.

The receiver of installing after the modeling vehicles can move between the vehicles.As previously mentioned, for such receiver, user can be prompted to select model and the version of the vehicles that connect.In this case, model history feature can be by the GUID of receiver and the model of selection and the version identification vehicles.

Because MFED has network connecting function conventionally, model/version database can carry out remote update.Follow-up model and version can add model/version database to, can add the new feature about existing model, and can revise the configuration about current version and version.Renewal to model/edition data storehouse can be connected and be downloaded by internet by MFED.

The network connecting function of MFED also can arrange collection for license mission controller and the shared parameter of another mission controller.Alternatively, user can share " partial parameters arranges collection ", and it is to be less than in parameter the selection that concentrated whole parameters arrange is set.With reference to figure 7A, described that parameter arranges collection or partial parameters arranges the exemplary method of collection for sending.Sending user can arrange the inventory of collection or select parameter that collection is set or partial parameters arranges collection to share from the memory of mission controller from being stored in parameter MFED.At 702, MFED, can receive the selection that sends user.At 704, MFED, can send that parameter arranges collection or partial parameters arranges collection to server.At 706, MFED, then can create and cover that parameter arranges collection or partial parameters arranges the email message of the hyperlink of collection.Email message can create with the conventional electrical mail applications of MFED.Sending user can edit messages and selection addressee.At 708, MFED, can send to the message that receives user.Except connecting by the Internet, send message, MFED can be by comprising that (adhoc) network of group certainly or the cable ad-hoc network of bluetooth, Wi-Fi sends message.

With reference to figure 7B, described that parameter arranges collection or partial parameters arranges the exemplary method of collection for receiving.710, the MFED that receives user can receive the email message being sent by sender.712, when receiving user and choose parameter and collection or partial parameters are set the hyperlink of collection is set, the MFED that receives user can be identified as parameter by this hyperlink based on hyperlink URL the hyperlink that collection or partial parameters arrange collection is set.714, then the MFED that receives user can start the application program for the operation model vehicles.716, application program can regain parameter from server and collection is set and parameter is arranged to collection and add the parameter that receives user to collection inventory is set.Application program can be configured to use the parameter regaining that collection is set to MFED and reception user's mission controller subsequently.

With reference to figure 1, telemetering pickup 110 can communicate with receiver 106.Telemetering pickup 110 can be connected to remote measurement connector in the model vehicles, is connected to the remote measurement connector in receiver 106 or is connected to expander, and expander is connected to remote measurement connector.A plurality of telemetering pickups can communicate with single receiver.

Telemetry can offer user by the installed with built-in component of mission controller 104, but the MFED102 comprising can greatly bring up to the performance of user's telemetry.For example, except using its figure demonstration, MFED102 can provide feedback to user by its audio frequency and vibration function.

The example parameter of utilizing the output function of auxiliary user interfaces is the accelerometer sensor in the model vehicles.Accelerometer sensor can be for detection of collision, collision, jump and the landing of the model vehicles.Accelerometer sensor can will speed up data by receiver 106, radio link 108 and mission controller 104 and offer MFED102.The unexpected During vibrations that MFED102 can accelerate at the model vehicles, provide additional feedback to user.Because feedback is tactile, so user even can receive feedback when user does not watch mission controller 104 or MFED102 attentively.

Telemetering pickup 110 can have the sensor ID 114 being positioned on electronic security(ELSEC) protection chip.ID112 is the same with receiver, and sensor ID 114 can comprise overall unique ID (GUID) 114A, and it identifies specific telemetering pickup 110 and other telemetering pickup uniquely.Sensor ID 114 also can have type/version ID114B, and its sign is by the type of data and the version of telemetering pickup 110 of telemetering pickup 110 perception.

With reference to figure 8, described the exemplary method 800 for the automatic configuration of telemetering pickup.802, receiver can detect the telemetering pickup being connected.804, receiver can read sensor ID and is sent sensor ID to MFED by mission controller.When telemetering pickup is connected to any connector on receiver, the model vehicles or expander, sensor ID allows telemetering pickup correctly to transmit data.Because can use any port, the user that telemetering pickup is installed there is no need sign for the compatible port of telemetering pickup is installed.

At 806, MFED, can determine according to type/version ID type and the version of telemetering pickup.According to the type of transducer and version, MFED can determine be directed to which data channel that obtains data from transducer.At 808, MFED, can manifest for showing the option list of the data that obtain from telemetering pickup to user.For example, for velocity transducer, MFED can manifest the selection for analog rate table or the digital speed table of panel board to user.User can select the self-defined title to transducer.

Figure 15 has shown the message chart sending between MFED (being labeled as " APP "), mission controller (being labeled as " reflector "), receiver (being labeled as " receiver ") and telemetering pickup or expander (being labeled as " smart machine ").Except telemetering pickup, MFED can also communicate to receive the telemetry from being connected the telemetering pickup of expander with expander.

Except the telemetry showing in real-time panel board, MFED can also record telemetering pickup data and create the video of " virtual " panel board.With reference to figure 9, described for creating the exemplary method of the video of virtual meter panel.At 902, MFED, can record telemetering pickup data for the time period of user's appointment.904, user can select instrument panel configuration to show data subsequently.If instrument panel configuration is in use in the time of record data, MFED can create the video of virtual meter panel so, and the video of this virtual meter panel is shown as record data should to be presented at the data in effective panel board.906, video can be published to public web site and browse for the public.

When MFED is not recording telemetry, user may experience user and want the unusual event of looking back.With reference to Figure 10, described for the exemplary method 1000 of " instant replay " function is provided.1002, when MFED is not also configured to record telemetry, MFED can record the telemetry in the past of some automatically.The telemetry of record can be stored in cyclic buffer.For example, MFED can record the telemetry of last 60 seconds automatically.MFED panel board can comprise " instant replay " button of pressing to experience unusual event for user.1004, when user presses instant replay button, the content that MFED can preserve and reset in cyclic buffer.

With reference to figure 1, MFED102 can down loading updating software, and this update software is communicated by letter with it for MFED102 comprises that mission controller 104, receiver 106, telemetering pickup 110 and any other telemetering pickup and any connection telemetering pickup 110 are to the equipment of the expander of receiver 106.MFED102 can receive new software and check which software in existing software version is for receiving the available devices (" receiving equipment ") of update software.While itself being exactly receiving equipment except mission controller 104, MFED102 can communicate by mission controller 104 and receiving equipment.

Each receiving equipment can have memory, and it can store three kinds of programs: bootstrap loader, application program and downloader program.Bootstrap loader can be determined which kind of program in other two kinds of programs of operation.Application program can cause that equipment carries out its function rather than down loading updating program.Program can not self be replaced, and therefore by downloader program, downloads new application program.Equally, application program is for downloading new downloader program.Equally, bootstrap loader can not be updated.

With reference to Figure 11, described that MFED can be used to attempt or retry sends downloader program or application program to the process 1100 of receiving equipment.In step 1102, MFED can make authorization check instrument and determine that whether new procedures is authorized.Step 1102 can prevent that receiving equipment from carrying out is not the program by manufacturer's establishment of receiving equipment.The combination that each program can be utilized random number and be stored in the key on will the equipment of executive program is encoded.Involved download file head can comprise random number and independent coding challenge (challenge) together with program.In order to carry out authorization check, MFED can send coding challenge to receiving equipment.

If receiving equipment can be decoded to coding challenge, program is considered to authorize so, downloads and proceeds to step 1106.If receiving equipment can not be decoded to coding challenge, so in step 1108, MFED can send at most three coding challenges before stopping step 1110.

In step 1106, MFED attempts sending new procedures and download file head.In step 1112, MFED determines whether receiving equipment successfully downloads new procedures.If so, program updates completes in step 1114.If it is unsuccessful downloading, so in step 1116, MFED can attempt at most transmission program three times before stopping step 1110.

In order to be updated in the application program on receiving equipment, process 1100 can be carried out twice conventionally.First, MFED can send downloader program, because the application program on receiving equipment can not self be replaced.Secondly, after sending downloader program, MFED can send application program, and the downloader program on receiving equipment can be replaced existing application program by the application program of upgrading.

With reference to Figure 12, described receiving equipment and can carry out from MFED, to download the exemplary method 1200 of software.Receiving equipment can start in step 1202 by carrying out boot loader program.In step 1204, boot loader can determine whether receiving equipment comprises the application program in order to carry out.The application program " magic number " that boot loader can the existence of application program by checkmark is carried out this step.If there is no available application program, boot loader can determine whether receiving equipment comprises the downloader program in order to carry out in step 1206.Boot loader can the downloader " magic number " that downloader program exists by checkmark equally and carry out this step.If receiving equipment does not comprise application program, do not comprise downloader yet, method 1200 stops in step 1208.

If application program is arranged in step 1204, bootstrap loader can be at step 1210 executive utility so.Application program can cause receiving equipment to carry out its normal function.For example, mission controller can be processed for controlling user's input of the model vehicles.Telemetry can be caught and launch to telemetering pickup.

Receiving equipment can continue executive utility to complete its normal function until it receives its message downloading of indication from MFED.Then, in step 1212, in conjunction with the receiving equipment of MFED work, can carry out authorization check.Receiving equipment can attempt security challenge decode and inform MFED whether it can be by security challenge.If receiving equipment can not be decoded to security challenge, it informs MFED in step 1214.

If receiving equipment can be downloaded security challenge, receiving equipment determines whether the program that MFED is attempting sending is downloader program so.If this program is not downloader program, it is application program, and application program can not be downloaded other application program.Therefore,, in step 1216, application program is deleted application magic number and process turns back to step 1202.Because deleted application program magic number, bootstrap loader will be at step 1204 executive utility.

If program is downloader program, at step 1218 receiving equipment, download receiver program and relevant download file head so.Receiving equipment can be to having used the random number being stored in file header and the downloader program that is stored in the key on receiving equipment to decode.In step 1220, if upgraded, be successfully, application program can be returned with at step 1210 executive utility.MFED can attempt sending the application program of upgrading subsequently conventionally, and it causes that application program magic number downloader program deleted in step 1216 and nearest download is performed in step 1222.If it is unsuccessful upgrading, receiving equipment can be indicated the relevant failure of MFED in step 1214.

In step 1222, bootstrap loader can be carried out downloader program.Downloader program can down load application program, and it is similar to application program and how downloads downloader program.Yet downloader program can only wait for that in step 1222 MFED sends application program, but not carries out the conventional func of receiving equipment.In step 1224, whether downloader program can be determined from the download of MFED authorized, and can determine in step 1226 downloader program whether MFED is attempting sending application program.Similar with application program, downloader program may not replace with self the second downloader program.If download be not authorized to or MFED just attempting sending downloader program, in step 1228 downloader program, can notify MFED failure and return to carry out downloader program in step 1222 so.

In step 1230, downloader program can down load application program and relevant download file head.Downloader program can be to having been used the random number in download file head to decode with the application program that is stored in the key in receiving equipment.In step 1232, downloader program can determine whether renewal is successful.If it is unsuccessful upgrading, downloader program can be indicated MFED about failure and return to carry out downloader in step 1222 in step 1228.If upgraded, be successfully, downloader program can be carried out bootstrap loader in step 1202 so.Because application program is downloaded, so bootstrap loader can be at step 1210 executive utility.

At the user's reference below having reproduced for example MFED application program.
