摘要

A method and apparatus for updating firmware of terminals in a mobile broadcast system including a Broadcast Service Distribution/Adaptation fragment (BSDA) and a Broadcast service Subscription Management (BSM). The method includes requesting creation of a content fragment, by the BSM, by transmitting a firmware package file for a firmware update of the terminals to the BSDA; creating a content fragment including the firmware package file and broadcasting the created content fragment to the terminals by the BSDA; detecting the firmware package file from the received content fragment; and performing the firmware update using the firmware package file.

1. A method of updating firmware of terminals in a mobile broadcast system including a Broadcast Service Distribution/Adaptation fragment (BSDA) and a Broadcast service Subscription Management (BSM), the method comprising:
transmitting a request for creation of a content fragment, by the BSM, to the BSDA; delivering, by the BSM, a firmware package to the BSDA; broadcasting, by the BSDA, a service guide including the content fragment to at least one terminal; and distributing, by the BSDA, the firmware package to the at least one terminal, wherein the content fragment includes a terminal provisioning element to provide information that enables targeted terminals to retrieve the firmware package, and wherein the content fragment includes sub-elements of the terminal provisioning element that are subject to a firmware update, the sub-elements of the terminal provisioning element including a manufacturer identifier element of a terminal, a model identifier element of the terminal, and a firmware version element provided for the firmware update.
