Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0131440A1] A communication system includes a download server (100) and at least one CE apparatus (110). The download server (100) includes a communication interface (130) for communication via a wide area network (120). The server also stores operational firmware of the CE apparatus (110) in a storage (140). The CE apparatus (110) includes a communication interface (160) for communicating via the wide area network (120). The CE apparatus (110) stores a predetermined identifier (170) identifying the download server (100) with respect to the wide area network (120). The CE apparatus (110) initiates the downloading by establishing communication with the identified server (100). It receives the firmware from the download server (100), stores it in a writeable storage medium (180), and ensures that the downloaded firmware will be executed by the processor (150).
