Abstract
An update control apparatus has one or more processors that execute a process including: among a plurality of execution environments in each of which a process related to a communication terminal connected to an update cell is executed by executing software which is an update target, determining the number of execution environments to be stopped on the basis of the number of communication terminals connected to the update cell; and instructing, for each of the determined number of execution environments, an update of the software executed in each of the execution environments.
Claims10
An update control apparatus configured to implement a process comprising:
- among a plurality of execution environments in each of which a process related to a communication terminal connected to an update cell is executed by executing software which is an update target, determining the number of execution environments to be stopped on the basis of the number of communication terminals connected to the update cell;
- and
- instructing, for each of the determined number of execution environments, an update of the software executed in each of the execution environments.
A communication control apparatus configured to implement a process comprising:
- executing software to construct a plurality of execution environments in each of which a process related to a communication terminal connected to a cell is executed;
- and
- when an update instruction for the software is acquired, updating the software executed in an execution environment excluding, from among the plurality of execution environments, at least an execution environment that is capable of covering a communication terminal connected to the cell.
An update control method comprising:
- among a plurality of execution environments in each of which a process related to a communication terminal connected to an update cell is executed by executing software which is an update target, determining the number of execution environments to be stopped on the basis of the number of communication terminals connected to the update cell;
- and
- instructing, for each of the determined number of execution environments, an update of the software executed in each of the execution environments.
A software update method comprising:
- executing software to construct a plurality of execution environments in each of which a process related to a communication terminal connected to a cell is executed;
- and
- when an update instruction for the software is acquired, updating the software executed in an execution environment excluding, from among the plurality of execution environments, at least an execution environment that is capable of covering a communication terminal connected to the cell.
