System function updating method and system, terminal device and server

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of communication, and discloses a system function updating method and system, a terminal device and a server. In the method, when the terminal device sends an application program function updating request to the server, the request carries a software version number of the terminal device; the server detects whether the version number in the function updating request is consistent with a local version number or not, if not, whether a system function item of a local storage of the server is consistent with a system function item of the server or not is judged, if not, response information indicating existence of new functions is returned, and the terminal device loads the system function item to be updated and updates the version number corresponding to the system function item to be updated. The invention further provides the own system function updating system, by means of the system, a user can use the new system function without downloading software of a new version for system upgrading, after opening the software, the user can use the new system function just by updating the new system function item, and therefore user experience is effectively improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a method and system for updating self-contained functions of the system. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of modern technology and mobile Internet, electronic terminal devices such as laptops, tablets, and mobile phones have become indispensable application tools in people's daily life. Moreover, these terminal devices must be installed with corresponding software operating systems and applications. Only software can realize the various functions required, such as the commonly used Windows operating system, Android operating system, Apple operating system, etc., and many office software, such as office, WPS, PhotoShop, PDF reader, compression and decompression, etc. In order to make up for the deficiencies or loopholes in the initial design of the system, or to continuously improve its practicability and compatibility, or to keep up with market demand, va...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Although frequent upgrades or updates of system software are to make up for the shortcomings in the beginning of software development, or to beautify the interface to give users better visual effects, or to add new functions to improve user experience, but its frequent Upgrades and updates have also brought great trouble to users

For example, users have become accustomed to the original style of the software and have to upgrade to a new version in order to use new functions. After upgrading to a version with new functions, because of the change in the interface style, it will take some time for the commonly used content to be updated in the new version. found that when users finally get used to the style of the new version, they often face the problem of software version upgrade

Moreover, when the software version is relatively large, it will take more time to download the new version

What's more serious is that some software systems have problems such as slow startup, incompatibility with previous content, and crashes after the software is upgraded due to minor problems in the software installation package itself.

However, in order to use new functions, users must download and upgrade the software version
