Transport stream, data processing device and digital television for intermittently updating firmware

摘要

A transport stream (TS) includes a plurality of first download data blocks (DDBs), a plurality of second download data blocks, and a download information indication (DII). Each download data block includes a first processing method tag and a first content data. The first processing method tag is for indicating a first data processing method, and the first content data forms a part of a firmware after having been processed according to the first data processing method. Each second DDB includes a second processing method tag and a second content data. The second processing method tag is for indicating a second data processing method different from the first data processing method, and the second content data forms another part of the firmware after having been processed according to the second data processing method. The DII includes information for controlling the first DDBs and the second DDBs.

主权项

1. A method of using a single transport stream (TS) for intermittently updating a firmware in a data processing apparatus, the method comprising:
processing a first content data to form a part of the firmware by a first processing method, which is indicated by a first processing method tag in a first download data block of the transport stream; and processing a second content data to form another part of the firmware by a second processing method, which is indicated by a second processing method tag in a second download data block of the transport stream, the first processing method being different from the second processing method; wherein processing the first content data by the first processing method comprises processing the first content data without compression.
