UPGRADABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE, SERVER FOR UPGRDADING ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR UPGRADING ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17989011 titled 'UPGRADABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE, SERVER FOR UPGRDADING ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR UPGRADING ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an upgradable electronic device, a server, and a method for upgrading the device. The electronic device has a storage unit for program data, a communication unit for receiving and storing an update file from a server, and a controller for updating the program data based on the update file. The update data transmitted by the communication unit includes only the changed portion of the program data.

  • The electronic device can be upgraded by receiving and storing an update file from a server.
  • The update data transmitted by the device includes only the changed portion of the program data, reducing the amount of data needed for updates.
  • The device's controller updates the program data based on the update data received.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied to various electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, computers, and IoT devices.
  • It can be used to provide software updates, bug fixes, and security patches to improve the performance and functionality of the devices.

Problems Solved

  • Traditional software updates require downloading and installing the entire program, which can be time-consuming and data-intensive.
  • This technology solves the problem of inefficient updates by transmitting only the changed portion of the program data, reducing the update time and data usage.

Benefits

  • Users can easily upgrade their electronic devices without the need for complex installation processes.
  • The reduced data usage for updates can save bandwidth and reduce costs for both users and service providers.
  • The ability to transmit only the changed portion of the program data minimizes the risk of errors or interruptions during the update process.


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed herein are an upgradable electronic device, a server for upgrading the electronic device, and a method for upgrading the electronic device. The electronic device includes: a storage unit storing program data; a communication unit receiving and storing a file for updating the program data from a management server and transmitting update data for updating the program data based on the stored file; and a controller updating the program data in response to the update data, wherein the update data transmitted from the communication unit includes delta data and an instruction, the delta data including only a changed portion of the program data.
