Preloading resources from data carousel of broadcast file system

摘要

An embedded processor device, communicating over a broadcast file system (BFS) with a data carousel, stores a file that specifies for one or more applications the application and all resource files required for at least start up of each application. Rather than reading a single application file from the BFS and then reading each of the resource files in a serial fashion, the embedded process or device concurrently reads the application file and any necessary resource files as they are broadcast, enabling all necessary files to be read during a single cycle of the data carousel.

主权项

1. Computer readable medium for storing instructions that, when read by one or more processors of an embedded device, instruct the one or more processors to perform the following in response to receiving a request for an application:
read a data structure containing identifiers for a plurality of files to be downloaded for executing the application; monitor a broadcast file system for one or more segments of the plurality of files; and store on the embedded device the one or more segments of each of the plurality of files to be downloaded when broadcast on the broadcast file system.
