Method for updating software of a target device using an extended identifier in digital broadcasting

摘要

A method for updating software of a digital broadcasting receiving apparatus using an extended identifier, including broadcasting information having a version of an extended identifier and an extended software of a receiving device targeted for software updating using a data service announcement, and transmitting the software to the receiving apparatus having the extended identifier when the software transmission condition is met. Software update services can be provided by distinguishing receiving apparatuses in a unique manner using an UUID, with little or no modification of the conventional data broadcasting standards.
