Abstract
A method of upgrading software through a software download in a Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (T-DMB) terminal includes the steps of announcing when the software is downloaded by receiving a T-DMB signal and analyzing a plurality of fast information groups (FIGs), determining whether the software is downloaded, storing ensemble information and download start time information; matching a current ensemble with the stored ensemble when time according to the download start time information elapses, and confirming a signaling message for informing that the software is downloaded and downloading the software.
Claims27
A method, executable by a central processing unit (CPU), of upgrading software through a software download in a terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (T-DMB) terminal, the method comprising the steps of:
- confirming an announcement message received by the terminal from a T-DMB station containing information for announcing when the software is downloaded by analyzing information in a plurality of fast information groups (FIGs) contained in a T-DMB signal;
- determining whether the software is downloaded according to information contained in the announcement message;
- if it is determined that the software is downloaded, storing ensemble information and download start time information among the information contained in the announcement message;
- matching a current ensemble with the stored ensemble when time according to the download start time information elapses;
- and
- confirming a signaling message for informing that the software is downloaded by analyzing information in a FIG received through the matched ensemble, and downloading the software, wherein the announcement message and the signaling message are transmitted using a fast information channel (FIC), and the software is downloaded in a main service channel (MSC) of said FIC.
A terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (T-DMB) terminal, comprising:
- a memory containing computer-executable code;
- and
- a processor in communication with the memory, the computer-executable code providing instruction to the processor for executing the steps of:
- confirming an announcement message by the terminal from a T-DMB station containing information for announcing when the software is downloaded by analyzing a plurality of fast information groups (FIGs) contained in a T-DMB signal;
- determining whether the software is downloaded according to information contained in the announcement message;
- if it is determined that the software is downloaded, storing ensemble information and download start time information among the information contained in the announcement message;
- matching a current ensemble with the stored ensemble when time according to the download start time information elapses;
- and
- confirming a signaling message for informing that the software is downloaded by analyzing information in a FIG received through the matched ensemble, and downloading the software, wherein the announcement message and the signaling message are transmitted using a fast information channel (FIC), and the software is downloaded in a main service channel (MSC) of said FIC.
