Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of communications, and in particular relates to an upgrading method and device for intelligent equipment and the intelligent equipment. Background technique

[0002] With the development and progress of communication technology, the network is more and more integrated into people's daily life, and smart TVs installed with android or windows operating systems have also appeared. In order to improve the performance of the system, the operating system of the smart TV is usually updated and bug repaired to improve the user experience and minimize the door-to-door service of after-sales personnel. Existing smart TVs usually use the network to download an upgrade package to implement system upgrades, and the downloaded upgrade package is usually stored in the Flash of the TV, and then the TV is upgraded according to the upgrade package.

[0003] In the process of realizing the present invention, it is found that the techni...

Examples

Embodiment 1

[0028] see figure 1 , figure 1 It is the smart device upgrade method provided by Embodiment 1 of the present invention, the method includes:

[0029] Step S11, after the smart device starts the upgrade process, determine the download location of the external device connected to the smart device and the upgrade package to be downloaded.

[0030] In this embodiment, the system upgrade process is mainly started in two ways. One is automatic start, which triggers the system upgrade by starting the smart device. For example, when the smart device is a TV, the background upgrade service is automatically triggered after the TV system is started; The other is manual start, which triggers the upgrade service by manually clicking "system upgrade" set in the menu of the smart device (such as a TV).

[0031] Further, before the step of determining the download location of the external device connected to the smart device (specifically such as U disk, mobile hard disk, etc.) and the upgr...

Embodiment 2

[0051] see figure 2 , figure 2 It is the smart device upgrade method provided by Embodiment 2 of the present invention. This embodiment mainly describes step S16 of Embodiment 1 in detail:

[0052] Wherein, Step S21 to Step S25 in this embodiment are the same as Step S11 to Step S15 in Embodiment 1. For details, refer to Embodiment 1 above, which will not be repeated here.

[0053] In this embodiment, after the download is completed, the step of upgrading the local system according to the upgrade package stored in the external device (above step S16) specifically includes:

[0054] Step S26 , verify the upgrade package, if the verification is successful, install the upgrade package and upgrade the system; if the verification fails, directly delete the upgrade package.

[0055] In this embodiment, in order to protect the security of the smart device, it is necessary to verify the downloaded upgrade package, if the upgrade package passes the verification, then use the upgrad...

Embodiment 3

[0061] In order to describe the upgrading method of the smart device provided by the present invention more clearly, a specific application scenario is given below for illustration, and the specific flow chart is detailed in image 3 .

[0062] Step 1. Trigger TV upgrade.

[0063] Wherein, the triggering process may be actively triggered by the user, or automatically triggered by the operating system.

[0064] Step 2. The upgrade device interacts with the upgrade server.

[0065] Step 3. Determine that the operating system needs to be upgraded.

[0066] In this embodiment, if the version of the operating system is too low or the operating system fails, it is determined that the operating system needs to be upgraded.

[0067] Step 4. Select the downloaded external device location.

[0068] In this embodiment, the user may designate an external device with a storage space larger than the upgrade package to store the upgrade package to be downloaded.

[0069] Step 5. Check w...
