SOFTWARE UPDATING DEVICE, SOFTWARE UPDATING METHOD, NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM, AND SOFTWARE UPDATING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18428851 titled 'SOFTWARE UPDATING DEVICE, SOFTWARE UPDATING METHOD, NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM, AND SOFTWARE UPDATING SYSTEM

The abstract of the patent application describes a software updating device that can predict a blank period in the future when a scheduled event will not occur, allowing for the scheduling of software updates during that time.

  • The software updating device includes a central processing unit (CPU) that obtains schedule information, predicts a blank period in the future, decides a scheduled update date and time within that blank period, and performs the software update at the scheduled time.
  • By predicting when a scheduled event will not occur, the device can schedule software updates to minimize disruption to the user.
  • This innovation allows for efficient and timely software updates without interfering with the user's scheduled events.
  • The device optimizes the timing of software updates based on the user's schedule, ensuring a seamless updating process.
  • Overall, this technology improves the user experience by intelligently scheduling software updates to minimize inconvenience.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied to various information processing devices such as computers, smartphones, and tablets. - It can be used in operating systems, applications, and other software that require regular updates.

Problems Solved: - Minimizes disruption to users by scheduling software updates during predicted blank periods. - Ensures timely and efficient software updates without interfering with scheduled events.

Benefits: - Improved user experience with seamless software updates. - Increased efficiency in managing software updates. - Minimized disruption to users' schedules.

Commercial Applications: Title: Intelligent Software Update Scheduling Device This technology can be marketed to software companies, device manufacturers, and IT departments to enhance the user experience and streamline software update processes.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the software updating device predict blank periods for scheduling software updates? - The device uses schedule information to predict when scheduled events will not occur, allowing for the scheduling of software updates during those times. 2. What are the potential implications of this technology for software companies and device manufacturers? - This technology can improve user satisfaction and streamline software update processes for companies, leading to increased customer loyalty and efficiency.


Original Abstract Submitted

A software updating device includes a central processing unit (CPU), the CPU being configured to execute: obtaining schedule information, the schedule information including information regarding whether a scheduled event is scheduled for a user and information regarding a time slot of the scheduled event; predicting a blank period in the future in which the scheduled event will not occur, based on the schedule information that is acquired; deciding a scheduled update date-and-time that is a date and time when an update of software for an information processing device is performed, within the blank period; and performing the update of the software at the scheduled update date-and-time.
