Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019242996A1] The invention relates to a method for updating software on a target device (100) by means of an update device (106). In a first step, an interface (116) to an external data processing device (118) receives distinction information (110) representing a difference between current software installed on the target device (100) and new software to be installed on the target device (100). In a second step the distinction information (110) is combined with a copy of the current software, which is saved in the update device (106), in order to create a data packet (302) representing the new software. Finally, in a third step the data packet (302) and/or the distinction information (110) are output to an interface (126) to the target device (100) in order to update the software on the target device (100).
