Abstract
An electronic device, wireless control device, system management server, wireless control method, and an update method are provided. The electronic device includes a wireless charging module configured to receive a request signal from a wireless control device and transmit a response signal to the wireless control device in response to the request signal; and a processor configured to update system software of the electronic device based on a management mode booting signal that is received from the wireless control device in response to the request signal.
Claims22
An electronic device, comprising:
- a wireless charging module configured to receive a request signal from a wireless control device and transmitting a response signal to the wireless control device in response to the request signal;
- and
- a processor configured to update system software of the electronic device based on a management mode booting signal that is received from the wireless control device in response to the request signal.
A wireless control device, comprising:
- a wireless charging module configured to broadcast a request signal over a preset area, receiving a response signal from an electronic device in response to the request signal, and control charging a battery of the electronic device based on the response signal;
- and
- a control module configured to determine whether to boot the electronic device in a management mode or whether to charge the battery, based on the response signal.
A system management server, comprising:
- a database configured to store device information about electronic devices and system update files by system versions;
- a controller configured to compare a system version contained in device information about an electronic device, received through a wireless control device, with a recent system version stored in the database;
- and
- a communication unit configured to transmit a system update file to the electronic device, based on a result of the comparison.
A wireless control method of an electronic device, comprising:
- receiving a request signal from a wireless control device;
- transmitting a response signal to the wireless control device in response to the request signal;
- and
- updating system software of the electronic device based on a management mode booting signal that is received from the wireless control device in response to the request signal.
A wireless control method of a wireless control device, comprising:
- broadcasting a request signal over a preset area;
- receiving a response signal from an electronic device in response to the request signal;
- and
- determining whether to boot the electronic device in a management mode or whether to charge a battery, based on the response signal.
An update method of a system management server, comprising:
- storing device information about electronic devices and system update files by system versions in a database;
- receiving device information from an electronic device through a wireless control device;
- comparing a system version contained in the received device information with a recent system version stored in the database;
- and
- transmitting a system update file to the electronic device, based on a result of the comparison.
