The invention relates to approach of updating system software of household appliance. It includes several phases' character: confirming current setup's system software version phase, comparing current version with the newest version phase and phase of downloading the newest version and updating the system software if the current software is not the newest. Using above method, system software of household appliance can be updated conveniently. So users can easily use household in many ways.
Description
[technical field]
The present invention relates to up-to-date system software be downloaded to home server a kind of method of the household appliances that go then to upgrade from the household electrical appliances corporate server.
[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 (flash memory) is housed in household appliances.According to user's operation, when input predetermined operation signal, central processing unit will access program from flash memory, and go to carry 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 controlling 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 existing obtained service function that provides of change or raising need be removed upgrade-system software; Just should be appended to new system software in the storer for this reason, perhaps use recent systems software after changing, remove to substitute the corresponding system software that has been stored in the storer.
As mentioned above,, exist following problem on the conventional art, 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 the problem of 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 remove 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, remove to download the recent software of having upgraded, utilize cable (cable then, 130) remove to connect PC and household appliances, and from PC to the direct download recent systems software of having upgraded of the flash memory (130) of household appliances.
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 objective of the invention is to, a kind of system software method of energy auto-update household appliances is provided.This method is, when the system software of the household appliances of wanting to upgrade, the home server of each family is connected to the server of household electrical appliances company, and it can be communicated by the Internet; Then Set For Current is compared at the system software of the household appliances of family with by the recent systems software program that the server of household electrical appliances company provides; The system software of the household appliances that automatically going then upgrades is arranged on family.
The present invention will be referred in order to achieve the above object a kind of and the system software upgrading method of household appliances exploitation.This method has following phase characteristic, that is: being provided with one links to each other with home server the household electrical appliances corporate server by the Internet, and in home server, the stage that will confirm and compare system software release that current household appliances in the family are set and recent systems software version that the household electrical appliances corporate server provides; If a recent systems software version that provides from the acquisition of household electrical appliances corporate server also is provided, also want new with the system software release of current household appliances, so by the Internet from the household electrical appliances corporate server, the recent systems software download to family's server, and stage that the system software of household appliances is upgraded.
Also having a feature is that home server and household appliances will be formed the one family network.
Also have a feature to be, after home server is downloaded the recent systems software of household appliances, will remove to delete the existing system software of these household appliances, and these household appliances are upgraded from household electrical appliances company.
Also have a feature to be, for the information of the recent systems software version that obtains household appliances, home server will periodically be communicated by letter with the server of household electrical appliances company.
Also have a feature to be, for the information of the system software release that obtains current household appliances, home server will periodically be communicated by letter with each household appliances.
Recently, with digital television together, refrigerator, video camera, stereo set etc., digital television and household appliances connect into a network, be not only that home appliance also is in the same place the communication medium and the medium merger of ensuring public security, progressively form a practicability, the home network that can manage (Home Network).
That is, so-called home network is exactly to come the total and home automation of realization information by network within the family.
At present, the home network of being favored, to not the problem that a Local Area Network merely is set in the family, and will mean final by IEEE (electrotechnical, electronic engineering association) 1394, the perhaps wired or wireless interface of future generation of the RF of family (radio frequency), Bluetooth technology etc., organically remove to connect home computer and household appliances, wait as stereo set, video camera, refrigerator and use.
Below, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to accompanying drawing.
