Description

Communication terminal performing update alarm setting and its control method {APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEROF FOR SETTING UPDATE ALARM}

The present invention relates to a communication terminal and a control method thereof, and more particularly, to a communication terminal that performs an update alarm setting and a control method thereof.

With the recent development of electronic communication technology, a terminal for viewing content does not perform only a fixed function as in the prior art, but a specific function may be dynamically added or updated according to a situation.

For example, an IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) set-top box receives content from the outside based on an IP address and displays it through a connected television or monitor. Various functions can be performed, and a new app can be installed or an existing app can be updated to improve the function of the IPTV set-top box.

However, in the case of updating to improve the function of an installed app, if numerous IPTV set-top boxes simultaneously access the update server at the same time, the update rate may drop due to the overload of the update server, or further, the update may not proceed at all.

Therefore, it is desirable to uniformly distribute the update time for the apps installed in each IPTV set-top box terminal. Conventionally, various attempts have been made related to such update distribution processing, but the effect is insignificant.

In addition, conventionally, app updates are performed collectively at a specific point in time (for example, when the app is executed) regardless of the type of app, so users who need to perform specific functions through the app must always wait for the update time. There was discomfort.

That is, in the related art, detailed update control according to the type of the updated app has not been performed.

Publication Patent No. 10-2014-0125255

The present invention has been conceived to solve the above-described conventional problem, and its object is to provide an apparatus and a control method for maximizing the effect of distributed update processing as well as performing detailed control according to the type of the updated app. will be.

In order to achieve the above object, a communication terminal configured to set an update alarm according to the present invention includes: an event detector configured to detect a boot event signal; A state determination unit for determining whether to boot for the first time after installing a specific app when the event detection unit detects a boot event signal; An alarm timing calculator configured to calculate alarm date and time information by applying a specific operation according to a preset algorithm to at least a part of a subscriber identification number when booting for the first time after installing the specific app as a result of the determination of the status determination unit; And an alarm setting unit configured to set an alarm for update by using the alarm time information calculated by the alarm time calculation unit.

In addition, in order to achieve the above object, a control method of a communication terminal performing an update alarm setting according to the present invention includes the steps of determining whether to boot for the first time after installing a specific app when a boot event signal is detected; Calculating alarm date and time information by applying a specific operation according to a preset algorithm to at least a part of a subscriber identification number when booting is the first time after installing the specific app as a result of the determination in the step; And performing an update alarm setting using the alarm time information calculated in the above step.

As described above, according to the present invention, when a user communication terminal provided in each home or used by a large number of users performs an update on a predetermined app, the update time is spread evenly, thereby distributing the update load.

Particularly, after calculating the date and time values, respectively, by performing the remainder operation on the subscriber identification number corresponding to the user communication terminal using the numbers 7 and 86400, the final alarm date and time information is calculated by adding the default value (10 minutes for example) to these values. By doing so, app update times can be evenly distributed on a weekly basis.

Furthermore, in the case of performing an update after the app is running, the user's inconvenience caused by the app update is minimized by selecting either the app execution start point or the app execution end point according to the type of the app to be updated or the corresponding app version. I can make it.

In addition, by selecting the update server according to the current location of the user communication terminal, it is possible to increase the update rate in addition to the server load distribution.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Hereinafter, each embodiment according to the present invention is merely an example for aiding understanding of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. In particular, the present invention may be configured with a combination of at least one or more of individual configurations, individual functions, or individual steps included in each embodiment.

Particularly, for convenience, some claims in the claims include alphabets such as'(a)', but these alphabets do not prescribe the order of each step.

In addition, each signal referred to in each embodiment according to the present invention may mean one signal transmitted by one connection or the like, but may also mean a series of signal groups transmitted for the purpose of performing a specific function to be described later. . That is, in each embodiment, a plurality of signals transmitted at a predetermined time interval or transmitted after receiving a response signal from a counterpart device may be expressed as one signal name for convenience.

A schematic configuration of an entire communication system including a communication terminal (ie, a user terminal) 100 for setting an update alarm according to an embodiment of the present invention is as shown in FIG. 1.

First, the management server 400 performs a function of collecting information of each server and providing it to the user communication terminal 100.

For example, the management server 400 may provide the address of the update server 300 by selecting the update server 300 closest to the user communication terminal 100 according to the request of the user communication terminal 100. I can.

The update server 300 is provided with various apps (APP) that can be installed or newly installed in the user communication terminal 100, and provides the corresponding app and app-related information according to the request of the user communication terminal 100. Perform.

Meanwhile, the user communication terminal 100 is a terminal that communicates with the update server 300 and the management server 400 as described above, and operates based on an app.

That is, the user communication terminal 100 may perform various functions, and at this time, at least one of each function may be newly downloaded from the update server 300 and installed or implemented as an app that can be updated.

The user communication terminal 100 may be an IPTV set-top box 100 that is provided in the premises and downloads various contents from a content providing server (not shown) and displays them on the television 200, or a user personally portable. And a wireless communication terminal to be used.

However, in the following description of the present embodiment, the user communication terminal 100 is an IPTV set-top box 100 as an example.

The IPTV set-top box 100 performs a special function for distributing the load of the server when updating an already equipped app. Hereinafter, the characteristics of the IPTV set-top box 100 will be described.

Detailed functional blocks of the IPTV set-top box 100 are as shown in FIG. 2.

As shown in the figure, the IPTV set-top box 100 includes an event detection unit 110, a status determination unit 120, an alarm timing calculation unit 130, an alarm setting unit 140, a version checking unit 150, and It may be configured to include an update processing unit 160, a server information receiving unit 170, and a storage unit 180.

Here, the storage unit 180 may store an app (application) or setting data necessary for the operation of the IPTV set-top box 100, and furthermore, information that is newly generated or received from the outside during the operation of the IPTV set-top box 100 Data may be stored, and a subscriber identification number for identifying a subscriber using the IPTV set-top box 100 may be stored.

In particular, a specific alarm time may be set and stored in the storage unit 180 as described later.

The event detector 110 detects various event signals generated in the IPTV set-top box 100, and may detect, for example, a boot event signal, an alarm operation event signal, a specific app execution event signal, and the like.

Here, the boot event signal is a signal that occurs when the IPTV set-top box 100 is newly booted while the power is off or is shut down, and the alarm operation event signal is a signal that generates an alarm at the time the alarm is set, and the specific app execution event signal is This is a signal generated when a specific app is launched.

Here, the event signal may be a signal actually generated from another app or an operating system (OS) in the IPTV set-top box 100, or may be a software signal that allows each app to detect or determine a specific situation.

In particular, each app may detect the execution of another app through the OS, but when its main function is executed by the OS as it is executed, it can determine that the app execution event signal is detected by itself.

When the event detection unit 110 detects a boot event signal, the state determination unit 120 performs a function of determining whether the booting is the first time after installing a specific app.

In addition, the state determination unit 120 may determine whether or not a time point corresponding to the alarm date and time information initially registered for a specific app has elapsed without an alarm operation, if the boot is not the first time after installing the specific app.

The alarm time calculation unit 130 provides a function of calculating alarm date and time information by applying a specific operation according to a preset algorithm to at least a part of the subscriber identification number when booting for the first time after installing a specific app as a result of the determination of the status determination unit 120. Carry out.

Here, the subscriber identification number means identification information that enables each subscriber using the IPTV set-top box 100 or the IPTV set-top box 100 to be distinguished from other devices.

For example, the alarm timing calculation unit 130 extracts a number (for example, the last 9 digits) of the subscriber identification number in the case of the first booting after the installation of a specific app as a result of the determination of the status determination unit 120, and the extracted Calculate the value obtained by the remainder operation with 7 for the number as the first value in the unit of date, and calculate the value of the remaining operation with 86400 for the previously extracted number (i.e., the last 9 digits) as the second value in the unit of time And, the alarm date and time information may be calculated by adding the first value, the second value, and the third value of a preset time unit.

Specifically, when the subscriber identification number is 500123456789, the alarm time calculation unit 130 calculates the '123456789 mod 7'to calculate the primary value of the date unit (that is, it becomes '1 day'), and the '123456789 mod 86400' 'Is calculated to calculate the second value of the time unit (that is, it becomes '77589 sec'), and then the third value of the preset time unit (for example, '10 minutes') and these first and second values are calculated. In addition, the final alarm date and time information of '21 hours 49 minutes and 9 seconds per day' can be finally calculated.

In addition, as a result of the determination of the status determination unit 120, the alarm time calculation unit 130 is not in the first booting state after installing the app, and if the time corresponding to the initially registered alarm date and time information has elapsed without an alarm operation, the preset date and time is at the current time. It is possible to calculate the alarm date and time information by adding. For example, the alarm time calculation unit 130 may calculate a time point at which 7 days have elapsed from the current time point as alarm date and time information.

In addition, if the time corresponding to the initially registered alarm date and time information has not elapsed as a result of the determination of the status determination unit 120 that the first booting state has not passed after installing the app, the first registered alarm date and time information The date and time obtained by subtracting the current time point from the corresponding time point may be calculated as alarm date and time information.

For example, if the time corresponding to the initially registered alarm date and time information is 19:00 today and the current time is 15:00, the alarm time calculation unit 130 may calculate 19-15 = 4, that is, 4 hours as the alarm date and time information. There is.

Here, the alarm date and time information may indicate whether the alarm should be triggered after how much time has elapsed. In the above example, if it is 4 hours, the alarm is counted for 4 hours from the present time and a notification is sent when it reaches zero. Is to make it happen.

In addition, the alarm time calculation unit 130 calculates alarm date and time information obtained by adding a preset date and time to the current time when the update processing unit 160 requests and controls an update to a higher version corresponding to a specific app, as described later. It can be done, but a more detailed description of this will be provided later.

The alarm setting unit 140 performs a function of setting an alarm for update by using the alarm time information calculated by the alarm time calculation unit 130.

For example, if the alarm setting unit 140 itself has a count function, it sets the remaining time corresponding to the alarm time information and then starts counting. For example, when the alarm setting unit 140 itself does not have a count function, You can also ask other apps or other components to proceed with the counting by passing the alarm time information.

This can be applied to all cases in which the alarm time information is calculated by the alarm time calculation unit 130 described above.

That is, when the alarm time calculation unit 130 calculates the alarm date and time information by applying a specific operation according to a preset algorithm to at least a part of the subscriber identification number in the case of initial booting after installing a specific app, the first booting after the specific app installation is performed. If the time corresponding to the initially registered alarm date and time information has elapsed without an alarm action and the alarm date and time information is calculated by adding the preset date and time to the current time, the time corresponding to the first registered alarm date and time information is not the first boot after installing a specific app. In the case where the time corresponding to the initially registered alarm date and time information is calculated as the alarm date and time information, the current time is subtracted as the alarm date and time information, and further, the update processing unit 160 updates to a higher version corresponding to the specific app. When the alarm time calculation unit 130 calculates alarm date and time information obtained by adding a preset date and time to the corresponding current time by controlling the request and updating, the alarm setting unit 140 calculates the alarm date and time information generated in each of these steps. It can be used to set the alarm for the update to proceed.

Meanwhile, when the event detection unit 110 detects the occurrence of an alarm operation event, the version check unit 150 checks whether a higher version corresponding to a specific app exists.

For example, the version check unit 150 may query the management server 400 or the update server 300 whether an app of a higher version corresponding to a specific app exists, and receive the result.

When a higher version corresponding to a specific app exists as a result of the confirmation, the version checking unit 150 may further check the type of the higher version.

Here, the type of the higher version distinguishes whether it is necessary for the execution of the app, for example, or whether it is desirable to update it for function improvement, but not necessarily. As will be described later, the update time of the corresponding higher version app is determined. It is information that becomes a criterion for determining, and may mean the type of app.

Meanwhile, the server information receiving unit 170 checks the current location of the IPTV set-top box 100 and requests and receives information on the update server 300 closest to the checked current location.

Here, the current location of the IPTV set-top box 100 may be determined based on the IP band, or may be preset by a user or an administrator, and furthermore, the serial number of the IPTV set-top box 100 to the management server 400 It may be information obtained by transmitting and inquiring a number or subscriber identification number.

When the user communication terminal 100 is not an IPTV set-top box 100 but a portable wireless communication device, the current location may be a location coordinate obtained by a Global Positioning System (GPS) module provided in the portable wireless communication device.

When a higher version corresponding to a specific app exists as a result of checking by the version checking unit 150, the update processing unit 160 performs a function of requesting an update to the higher version and controlling the update to be updated.

For example, the update processing unit 160 may request and receive an app of the higher version from the update server 300 and then perform an update process to replace the existing app.

Particularly, when information on the update server 300 located in the closest position to the IPTV set-top box 100 is received from the server information receiving unit 170, the update processing unit 160 may use the information received from the server information receiving unit 170. It is also possible to control the update by requesting an update to a higher version from the corresponding update server 300.

In particular, when the type of the higher version corresponding to the specific app is confirmed by the version check unit 150, the update processing unit 160 may select an update time according to the type of the confirmed higher version.

For example, in the case of a higher version that reflects essential matters in the execution of the app, such as security issues, the update processing unit 160 not only immediately processes the alarm when the alarm occurs, but also when the app is executed without an alarm It is possible to control the update to occur immediately when the app starts running.

As another example, if an update is not essential for functionality, but if it is recommended, the update processing unit 160 allows the app to run without an update when the app is run before the alarm occurs, and then the app is terminated or the IPTV set-top box 100 It is possible to control the update of the corresponding app to be made at the time when the operation of is terminated.

Hereinafter, the overall control flow of the IPTV set-top box 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6.

In describing the present embodiment, as an example, the following functions are performed by a specific app (hereinafter referred to as a “target app”) provided in the IPTV set-top box 100.

First, a process of setting an alarm by calculating alarm date and time information will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

When the target app receives a boot event from the OS of the IPTV set-top box 100 (step S1), it determines whether it is the first booting after it is installed (step S3).

To this end, the target app stores and manages information related to the booting every time a booting occurs after it is installed, or can check information managed by the OS.

As a result of the determination, if it is the first boot after installing the app (step S3), the target app extracts the last 9 digits of the subscriber identification number (hereinafter, the extracted value is referred to as'x') (step S5), and the extracted value is '7'. The value obtained by the remainder operation with 'is the primary value in the unit of date (hereinafter referred to as'V1') (step S7), and the value obtained by the remaining operation with 86400 on the previously extracted x is the second value in the time unit (hereinafter,' V2') (step S9), and alarm date and time information (i.e., V) obtained by adding a value (hereinafter referred to as'V3') corresponding to a preset basic time (for example, 10 minutes) to these V1 and V2. It is calculated (step S11), and an alarm setting is made using the corresponding alarm date and time information (V) (step S13).

As a result of the determination in step 3, the processing process when the first boot is not after installing the app is illustrated in FIG. 4.

That is, if it is not the first boot (step S3), the target app determines whether the initially registered alarm time (that is, the alarm time set in step S13 of FIG. 3) has elapsed (step S21). After calculating the alarm date and time information (V) obtained by adding a preset date and time (for example, 7 days) to the time point (step S23), an alarm setting is made using the calculated alarm date and time information (V) (step S27). . In other words, the alarm is set to occur 7 days after the current point in time.

In this way, in the step of FIG. 3, the remaining operation is processed on the subscriber identification number so that the update distribution is performed, whereas when the already set alarm time has elapsed, a new alarm time is set, but a preset alarm time is not performed. The processing load of the IPTV set-top box 100 itself can be reduced by processing by adding values. That is, in this case, since the update load is automatically distributed based on the boot time, it is sufficient to add the preset value to the current time.

If the initially registered alarm time has not elapsed (step S21), the target app can calculate the value obtained by subtracting the current time from the initially registered alarm time as alarm date and time information (V) (step S25), for example, as an alarm. If the time point corresponding to the date and time information is today 19:18 and the current time is 15:00, 4 hours and 18 minutes are calculated as alarm date and time information, and the alarm can be controlled to occur at the time that the corresponding time elapses (step S27. ).

When an alarm is set through the above-described process, for example, the OS of the IPTV set-top box 100 starts counting, and when the alarm time is reached, an alarm action event is transmitted to the target app. The process after receiving the event is illustrated in FIG. 5.

That is, when the target app detects an alarm action event (step S31), it requests whether a higher version exists in relation to itself, and determines by receiving the result (step S33).

As a result of the determination, if a higher version exists (step S35), the target app performs an update request (step S41). In this case, the actual update process may be performed by the target app itself, but a separate device provided in the IPTV set-top box 100 It can also be done by an update agent (not shown).

At this time, that is, if a higher version exists (step S35), the target app calculates a value obtained by adding a preset date and time (for example, '7 days') as the alarm date and time information (V) at the current time point (step S37), It is possible to control the alarm to be set again using the calculated alarm date and time information (step S39).

This is to ensure that the update process is repeated.

The above-described processes describe a process in which an alarm is set before the app is executed and automatically updated at the corresponding alarm point, but there may be cases where the app is executed before reaching the alarm point, and the processing process in this case is shown in FIG. Was shown on.

First, when the target app is executed (step S51), the target app makes a request to the management server 400 or the update server 300 to determine whether an app of a higher version related to it exists, and receives the result (step S53). .

As a result of the determination, if a higher version exists (step S55), the target app performs an update request for the app of the higher version (step S57).

At this time, the target app calculates the value obtained by adding the preset date and time (for example, '7 days') as the alarm date and time information (V), and then controls the alarm to be set again using the calculated alarm date and time information. have.

Meanwhile, it goes without saying that the process of performing each of the above-described embodiments may be performed by a program or application stored in a predetermined recording medium (eg, computer-readable). Here, the recording medium includes all of an electronic recording medium such as a random access memory (RAM), a magnetic recording medium such as a hard disk, and an optical recording medium such as a compact disk (CD).

In this case, the program stored in the recording medium may be executed on hardware such as a computer or a smart phone to perform each of the above-described embodiments. In particular, at least one of the functional blocks of the IPTV set-top box according to the present invention described above may be implemented by such a program or application.

In addition, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, but can be implemented by various modifications and modifications without departing from the gist of the present invention.
