Client version upgrading method and device

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a client version upgrading method and device. The method comprises the following steps of obtaining the current version information of a client, and the latest version information of the client in a client publishing platform; and in accordance with the obtained current version information of the client and the latest version information of the client in the client issuing platform, downloading the client of the latest version according to the latest version information when the condition that the client needs version updating is determined. The method and the device provided by the embodiment of the invention have the advantages that the function expansion is facilitated; the cost resource waste can be avoided; the user experience is improved; and the application scenes are wide.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of client applications, in particular to a client version upgrading method and device. Background technique [0002] With the continuous improvement of client software functional requirements, there are more and more software versions, and version management becomes more and more cumbersome and complex. At present, different client products are managed by their corresponding server platforms, including the release and closure of client versions; the client is upgraded through the interaction between the client and the server platform. [0003] The main solutions for client upgrade include: the client will automatically obtain the client version number (versioncode), and establish a connection with the server to transmit the client version number to the server. After receiving the client version number, the server will communicate with the latest client version code of the platform If the version number of the softwar...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Each product is managed by its own server platform. Due to different developers, the implementation methods are also different, which is not convenient for later unified maintenance. On the other hand, since the client version management and other functions of the client are managed by a platform system Control, the coupling degree between modules is high, which is not conducive to function expansion

[0006] 2. Clients of different versions cannot be installed at the same time and displayed on the mobile terminal

[0007] 3. Clients of different versions will interfere with each other when the version is upgraded

To avoid this type of problem, it is necessary to keep the software version numbers of a and b consistent, that is, when a is upgraded, b must be upgraded simultaneously. With the increase of customized versions, when any version is changed, all versions of the client must be upgraded simultaneously, resulting in a waste of cost and resources, and at the same time, the maintenance cost of the client software version is also high

[0008] 4. When the client fails to establish a connection with the server due to network problems or server failures, the client cannot judge whether to upgrade in time
