CA 2217856

A system (10) for remote patching or updating of operating code located in a mobile unit (22, 24, 26, 28 or 30) is provided. The system (10) includes a manager host (16) and a mobile unit (22, 24, 26, 28 or 30). The manager host (16) is operable to initiate transmission through a communication network (12) of at least one discrete patch message defining at least one patch. The mobile unit (22, 24, 26, 28 or 30) is operable to receive the at least one patch message. The mobile unit (22, 24, 26, 28 or 30) is also operable to create patched operating code by merging the patch with current operating code located in the mobile unit (22, 24, 26, 28 or 30) and to switch execution to the patched operating code. The mobile unit (22, 24, 26, 28 or 30) can also receive at least one download message defining new operating code to replace the current operating code.

Système (10) de correction ou de mise à jour à distance du code d'exploitation situé dans une unité mobile (22, 24, 26, 28 ou 30). Le système (10) comporte un serveur de gestion (16) et une unité mobile (22, 24, 26, 28 ou 30). On peut utiliser le serveur de gestion (16) pour lancer la transmission par un réseau de communication (12) d'au moins un message de correction discontinu définissant au moins une correction. On peut utiliser l'unité mobile (22, 24, 26, 28 ou 30) pour recevoir ce ou ces messages de correction. On peut également utiliser l'unité mobile (22, 24, 26, 28 ou 30) pour créer un code d'exploitation corrigé en intégrant la correction dans le code d'exploitation en vigueur situé dans l'unité mobile (22, 24, 26, 28 ou 30) et pour basculer l'exécution sur le code d'exploitation corrigé. L'unité mobile (22, 24, 26, 28 ou 30) peut également recevoir au moins un message de téléchargement définissant un nouveau code d'exploitation destiné à remplacer le code d'exploitation en vigueur.
