Abstract

The invention relates to an intelligent appliance WiFi module software remote automatic upgrade method. The method includes the steps of uploading a WiFi module upgrade file to a server; querying all online WiFi modules and determining whether the type of a WiFi module in an automatic upgrade mode is the same with that of the upgrade file or not through the server, if so, sending the upgrade file to the online WiFi module through the server; running the upgrade file through the WiFi module after the upgrade is completed. According to the intelligent appliance WiFi module software remote automatic upgrade method, the WiFi module upgrade file released by the server is used for unified automatic update of all appliance WiFi module software connected with the server, and the server can send a software upgrade instruction to a wifi module to be upgraded at any time as needed for upgrading the WiFi module through a protocol. The intelligent appliance WiFi module software remote automatic upgrade method can be used for WiFi module batch update in a flexible and convenient upgrade mode, thereby omitting site operations, saving time and reducing costs.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of wifi wireless communication, and in particular relates to a method for automatically upgrading a wifi module program of an intelligent home appliance. Background technique [0002] With the gradual rise of the Internet of Things, smart home appliances of the Internet of Things are becoming more and more popular. Smart home appliances of the Internet of Things are generally equipped with wifi modules, which can realize the wireless communication function of smart home appliances, and facilitate the management and monitoring of smart home appliances by users. For smart home appliances of different types or different models of the same type, wifi modules of their corresponding types will be respectively set. The wifi module includes hardware and software. In the subsequent use stage of the wifi module, if the defects of the software are to be repaired or new functions are added, the software of the wifi modu...
