Software updating method for microcomputer-supported mobile telephone

摘要

The method is applied to a mobile telephone (10) which is linked by a telecommunications network (11) to a software-updating computer system (12). The computer system includes a transceiver (121), a volatile memory (123) and a hard disc (124). The mobile telephone holds its software in a non-volatile flash memory (103) with a structure table containing its version number. The software is set into an updating mode and a link is established with the remote computer system, to which the structure table is transmitted. An updating package with new operating system and function modules and a modified structure table is then received by the mobile telephone, via its transceiver (106).
