Method, apparatus and system for updating apparatus

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for upgrading equipment, which is used for increasing the success rate of device upgrading. The method includes the following steps that: the version information of sender equipment is received; the version information of the sender equipment is compared with the local latest version information and on the condition that the version of the sender equipment is lower than the latest version, at least one file server storing with files of the latest version is searched; according to an upgrading strategy configured in advance, a file server in which the amount of the equipment carried is not up to a preset threshold value, is selected from at least one file server and the information of the file server selected and the latest version information are returned to the sender equipment so as to ensure that the sender equipment downloads the file of the latest version from the corresponding file server for updating according to the received information of the file server and the latest version information. The invention also discloses a method for updating equipment, a server, an upgrading device and a communication system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of computer and communication, in particular to a method, device and system for upgrading equipment. Background technique [0002] After the rapid development of broadband networks, the broadband network construction and services of major telecom operators have gradually reached saturation. Telecom operators are no longer satisfied with making profits through network access services, but instead tap the development of various value-added services, and terminal equipment It is the carrier of these value-added services, becoming the edge extension of the last meter of the telecom network and the focus of all operators. At the same time, due to the characteristics of large number of terminal devices, wide geographical distribution, inability to actively access on the user side, random number of concurrency when communicating with the server, and frequent version updates, batch upgrade of terminal devices has become a di...

During most upgrade operations, the user device needs to be restarted for the new version to take effect

[0004] However, due to cost and technical constraints on the network side equipment, when a large number of user equipments request upgrades in batches, the network server and / or file server may be paralyzed, and the failure of the user equipment upgrade may further cause the user equipment to malfunction; or when there is a new After the release of the version, a large number of user devices are upgraded concurrently, and the current network cannot provide enough bandwidth, and the upgrade bandwidth of each device cannot be guaranteed, resulting in the failure of the upgrade, which may lead to failure of the user device; or when the user needs to use the user device. The upgrade operation was performed, causing users to temporarily be unable to use normal services, affecting user experience
