Problems solved by technology

However, because the device firmware is upgraded according to the instructions issued by the user, it is easy to cause the upgrade to be delayed
If user A and user B respectively authorize the other party to use their own devices, when new functions are added to the firmware and software of the device, if user A updates the APP software and device firmware on his smart terminal, user A can Use the upgraded APP software and device firmware to perform linkage operations on this function. Since user B has not updated his own equipment, user A cannot use the upgraded APP software to perform linkage operations on user B’s equipment.

Abstract

The present invention is applicable to the technical field of communications, and provides an upgrading method and apparatus. The method comprises: searching for and obtaining information about to-be-upgraded firmware in a server by a device; upgrading the firmware at a set time according to the information about the to-be-upgraded firmware; sending firmware version information after the upgrading to the server, so that the server updates firmware version information of the device; when an intelligent terminal starts application software corresponding to the device, obtaining user information and software version information of the device; according to the user information and the software version information, performing upgrading by obtaining upgrading information of the application software from a device list corresponding to the user information and a mapping relationship table of device firmware versions versus application versions, wherein the device list and the mapping relationship table are recorded by the server. According to the method and the apparatus, the intelligent device can upgrade firmware thereof automatically, and the intelligent terminal can upgrade the application software used on the intelligent device to a most advanced version corresponding to the firmware version of the device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of communication, and in particular relates to an upgrading method and device. Background technique [0002] Existing smart home devices are equipped with APP application software, and the APP application software is usually installed on the smart terminal, but the existing upgrade method does not consider the correlation between the APP software and the firmware of the smart home device. The instructions sent by the APP software are upgraded, and the operation process is cumbersome. [0003] Further, users of smart home devices can also authorize their respective devices to other users. However, because the device firmware is upgraded according to the instructions issued by the user, it is easy to cause the upgrade to be delayed. If user A and user B respectively authorize the other party to use their own devices, when new functions are added to the firmware and software of the device, if user A updates t...
