Embodiment 1

[0027] This embodiment provides a method for delivering a firmware upgrade package, which can be implemented by a control terminal, figure 1 is the flowchart of the method, such as figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0028] Step 101: Obtain the description information of the firmware upgrade package of the AllJoyn device managed by the control terminal from the upgrade server;

[0029] Wherein, the description information of the firmware upgrade package may specifically include: the image of the firmware, the ID of the firmware (such as the hash value of the firmware image), the version of the firmware, and the device model corresponding to the firmware, wherein the image of the firmware is the data of the firmware.

[0030] Step 102: Broadcast the description information of the firmware upgrade package;

[0031] Wherein, broadcasting the description information of the firmware upgrade package may specifically include: adding the description informa...

Embodiment 2

[0044] In an AllJoyn-based home network, there are several AllJoyn devices and one or more control terminals running firmware upgrade programs. Among them, AllJoyn devices can be home appliances such as TVs, air conditioners, and refrigerators; control terminals can be routers, gateways, mobile phones, etc.

[0045] The control terminal maintains local firmware information and provides firmware upgrade services for one or more AllJoyn devices. On the other hand, the control terminal has the function of connecting to the external network and can connect to the upgrade server in the Internet, and actively or passively obtain new updates from the upgrade server. upgrade data.

[0046] Combine the following image 3 The process of upgrading the AllJoyn device firmware involved in this embodiment is described:

[0047] The control terminal obtains the firmware upgrade package information from the remote upgrade server via the Internet, including firmware image, firmware ID (such ...

Embodiment 3

[0057] This implementation provides a method for upgrading the firmware of the AllJoyn device through the interaction between the control terminal and the AllJoyn device. During the firmware upgrade, the processing method when receiving the firmware upgrade package information from the control terminal, such as Figure 4 As shown, the method includes the following processing:

[0058] The control terminal obtains the firmware upgrade package information from the remote upgrade server through the Internet, including firmware image, firmware ID, firmware version, corresponding device model list, and also includes the firmware version relationship covered by the firmware, etc.

[0059] The control terminal will add the new firmware upgrade package information to the firmware list. If the control terminal does not maintain the firmware information of previous versions, the firmware list can be empty.

[0060] The control terminal sends broadcast information, the broadcast inform...

Abstract

The invention provides a firmware upgrade transmitting method, a firmware upgrade pack acquiring method, a firmware upgrade pack transmitting device and a firmware upgrade pack acquiring device. The firmware upgrade transmitting method, the firmware upgrade pack acquiring method, a firmware upgrade pack transmitting device and a firmware upgrade pack acquiring device are used for settling a problem of incapability of performing firmware upgrading AllJoyn equipment in an AllJoyn network, wherein the firmware upgrade pack transmitting method comprises the steps of acquiring description information of a firmware upgrade pack of the AllJoyn equipment that is managed by a control terminal from an upgrading server; broadcasting the description information of the firmware upgrade pack; receiving an acquiring request for the firmware upgrade pack from the AllJoyn equipment; and transmitting the corresponding firmware upgrade pack to the AllJoyn equipment which transmits the acquiring request according to the acquiring request. The firmware upgrade transmitting method, the firmware upgrade pack acquiring method, the firmware upgrade pack transmitting device and the firmware upgrade pack acquiring device realizes simple and convenient firmware upgrade of the AllJoyn equipment.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communications, in particular to a method for delivering a firmware upgrade package, an acquisition method and a device. Background technique [0002] AllJoyn is a point-to-point communication framework between devices based on C / S architecture, which consists of BusDaemon (bus daemon) and terminal nodes. BusDaemon is responsible for message routing between terminal nodes, service discovery and other functions. The terminal node refers to the application program running on the device, which needs to connect to the BusDaemon after startup. BusDaemon can be seen as a bus (Bus) segment running on different devices. The BusDaemons of the devices are connected to form a bus of a connected point-to-point network system. Buses provide a fast, lightweight way for distributed systems to communicate sequences of messages. Its goal is to allow two applications to communicate without having to deal with the details...
