Abstract
The invention relates to the technical field of set top boxes, and in particular relates to an upgrade backup method of set top box system software for reserving user configuration. According to the set top box upgrading method, the transfer recovery process of user data is added during an OTA upgrading process, the original user data of the upgraded set top box system is reserved, no burden is generated for a whole wired front-end system, and great use convenience can be brought to the user without any treatment. The invention aims at providing a set top box upgrading method capable of reserving user configuration; according to the set top box upgrading method, the private data of the user can be reserved after OTA upgrading, the user is prevented from resetting the set top box after upgrading, the set top box using habit of the user is continued, and the user experience is enhanced.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to set-top box technique field, especially relate to the upgrading backup method that a kind of set-top-box system software retains user's configuration.
Background technology
CATV set-top-box in use, often can by the system software of OTA upgrading set top box. The way of current manufacturer is after obtaining OTA data, directly wipes the data of whole flash, then writes OTA data toward flash, makes the system of Set Top Box keep up-to-date. But this way, all ignores the private data protection of set-top box users. Such as after upgrading, channel order that user is arranged, favorite channels, password etc. are all deleted, and user has to carry out loaded down with trivial details configuration by telepilot, and Set Top Box is set to the mode of oneself custom. Upgrading causes Consumer's Experience greatly impaired frequently.
Summary of the invention
The goal of the invention of the present invention is to provide a kind of set top box upgrading method retaining user's configuration, adopt technical scheme provided by the invention can retain user's private data after OTA upgrades, avoid user to upgrade and Set Top Box is set again, continuity client uses the use habit of Set Top Box, promotes user's experience.
In order to reach foregoing invention object, the present invention provides a kind of set top box upgrading method retaining user's configuration, comprises the steps:
1) in flash, an independent partitions is divided, for preserving user data;
2) described user data is read Set Top Box internal memory from described independent partitions;
3) perform flash erasing action, Set Top Box is formatd;
4) system write OTA file, after completing set-top-box system upgrading, then writes to user data in described independent partitions from internal memory.
Compared with existing OTA upgrade technique, the present invention adds the unloading recovery process of user data at OTA escalation process, the set-top-box system after upgrading is made to retain original user data, whole wired front end system is not produced any burden, and any process that it goes without doing can bring easy-to-use greatly to user.
Further, in step 4) in after system upgrade and user data write, system contrast user data and OTA default data, and point out user's choice for use " the front user data of upgrading " or " system default data " after powering.
Including but not limited to, described user data comprises channel number, favorite channels and password.
Accompanying drawing explanation
In order to be illustrated more clearly in the embodiment of the present invention or technical scheme of the prior art, it is briefly described to the accompanying drawing used required in embodiment or description of the prior art below. It is appreciated that the accompanying drawing in the following describes is only some embodiments of the present invention, for those of ordinary skill in the art, under the prerequisite not paying creative work, it is also possible to obtain other accompanying drawing according to these accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is embodiment of the present invention FB(flow block).
Embodiment
Below in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in the embodiment of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the present invention is clearly and completely described. Obviously, described embodiment is only the present invention's part embodiment, instead of whole embodiments. Based on the embodiment in the present invention, those of ordinary skill in the art, not making other embodiments all obtained under creative work prerequisite, belong to the scope of protection of the invention.
Embodiment
As shown in Figure 1, present embodiment discloses a kind of set top box upgrading method retaining user's configuration, comprise the steps:
S1) in flash, an independent partitions is divided
The flash memory of Set Top Box belongs to memory devices, is a kind of non-volatility internal memory, and flash memory also can keep data for a long time when not having electric current supply, and its storage characteristics is equivalent to hard disk, for storing Set Top Box media data and user data. First dividing an independent partitions in flash, for preserving user data, wherein user data can comprise the private data for preserving user, such as edited data of user such as channel number, favorite channels, passwords.
S2) described user data is read in Set Top Box internal memory
Set Top Box internal memory is equivalent to the memory bar that computer uses, and belongs to volatility internal memory, as long as the data stopped in electric current supply internal memory just cannot keep, therefore booting computer all needs data to be again loaded into internal memory every time. Described user data is read Set Top Box internal memory from the independent partitions of flash, it should be noted that at this, owing to Set Top Box internal memory belongs to volatility internal memory, as long as the data stopped in electric current supply internal memory just cannot keep, therefore to be kept Set Top Box in running order in system renewal process, namely can not disconnect the power supply of Set Top Box.
S3) flash erasing action is performed
Owing to needing during system upgrade that OTA file is write flash, for preventing causing upgrade unsuccessfully owing to Flash capacity is inadequate during upgrading, it is thus desirable to flash carries out erasing action, being formatd by Set Top Box, clear empty data can ensure the perfectly safe of upgrading. Secondly the document format data of different system version may change, after firmware updating, it should deletes the hidden file that those preserve system set-up parameters, allows it regenerate after powering once; Otherwise, it is possible to can occur abnormal after upgrading.
S4) write OTA file, then from internal memory, user data is write in described independent partitions
System write OTA file, completes the upgrading of set-top-box system, the system data of this set-top box be default data, then the user data that is kept in internal memory is write in independent partitions.
S5) user's choice for use " before upgrading user data " or " system default data " is pointed out after powering
After system upgrade and user data have write, system contrast user data and OTA default data, and point out user's choice for use " before upgrading user data " or " system default data " after powering, when user's choice for use " before upgrading user data ", user's configuration that system will be arranged in independent partitions, if user selects " system default data ", system default data is then write in independent partitions by system, and replaces user data.
Compared with existing OTA upgrade technique, the present invention adds the unloading recovery process of user data at OTA escalation process, the set-top-box system after upgrading is made to retain original user data, whole wired front end system is not produced any burden, and any process that it goes without doing can bring easy-to-use greatly to user.
Above-described enforcement mode, does not form the restriction to this technical scheme protection domain. The amendment done within any spirit in above-mentioned enforcement mode and principle, equivalent replace and improvement etc., all should be included within the protection domain of this technical scheme.
