MULTI-TIERED INCREMENTAL SOFTWARE UPDATING |
摘要 |
A software application (110) is updated to a newer version by means of incremental update patches (122). The incremental update patches (122) each contain that information necessary to transform one version of an applicatio n to another version. Any version of an application (110) may be upgraded to a ny other version of the application, through the use of a series of incremental update patches (122). The appropriate incremental update patches (122) are distributed in a multi-tiered manner, such that some update patches (122) update the application (110) by only one version, and others update the application (110) by several versions.
