Embodiment Construction

[0044] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described here are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0045] see figure 1 , is a flowchart of an embodiment of the software update method of the present invention, the method sets an update module outside the software, and the method includes:

[0046] Step 101: update the module to obtain the version of the software;

[0047] Wherein, the update module sends a version acquisition instruction to the software, and after receiving the version acquisition instruction, the software searches for the software version in the software, and sends the found software version to the update module; or, the update module directly connects to the software to search and retrieve the software version ; Preferably, the update module ac...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a device for updating software. The method is implemented by the aid of an updating module on the basis of software. The method includes steps of enabling the updating module to acquire a version of the software; connecting the updating module with a network and acquiring the latest version of the software; enabling the updating module to compare the version of the software to the latest version of the software; connecting the updating module with the network to download software in the latest version if the latest version of the software is higher than the version of the software, and updating the software. The method and the device for updating the software in an embodiment of the invention have the advantages that the updating software is arranged on the outside of the software, so that the version and information of the software can be independently acquired by the updating module without being affected by the software, the software still can be updated under the condition that the software fails or is collapsed, the self-updating and repairing ability of the software can be improved, and the user experience can be enhanced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of terminal software, in particular to a software updating method and device. Background technique [0002] The functions of software such as operating systems or applications in terminal devices (such as computers, smart phones, tablets, etc.) are becoming more and more diversified. In order to maintain the software in electronic devices or improve functions, suppliers and development teams A software update or upgrade version is often provided, so that users can update the software of the electronic device to the latest or most stable version. [0003] Generally speaking, the software update usually obtains the software version when the software is started, and updates it online. When the software fails to start due to an error in this way, it cannot be performed normally. The user can only manually search for the software online and reinstall it. Contents of the invention [0004] Embodiments o...
