Software background adaptive upgrading method and apparatus

Abstract

The invention relates to a software background adaptive upgrading method and apparatus. The software background adaptive upgrading method comprises the steps of monitoring a TCP downloading request after the system is started; filtering a network video downloading request and a system upgrading software downloading request from the TCP downloading request if the network video downloading request and the system upgrading software downloading request exist in the TCP downloading request at the same time; downloading and playing network video in a TCP link according to the network video downloading request, and obtaining data cache amount of the network video; requesting to start the downloading of the system upgrading software according to the system upgrading software downloading request; and controlling the downloading rate of the system upgrading software in the TCP link according to the data cache amount of the network video. By adoption of the software background adaptive upgrading method and apparatus, available maximum network downloading bandwidth can be supplied to downloading of the upgrading software while smooth network video playing is ensured, so that the problem of bandwidth resource occupation by network video playing and downloading of the upgrading software is solved, thereby improving user experience.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of network terminals, in particular to a software background self-adaptive upgrading method and device. Background technique [0002] At present, the software upgrade of the smart terminal through the network has become the most commonly used software upgrade method at present. The network upgrade of the software needs to download the upgrade software to the smart terminal locally through the network. The general system upgrade software is relatively large, and the download occupies a large bandwidth and takes a long time. When the user is watching an online video program, if the system software is upgraded, a large amount of network download bandwidth will be occupied, which may cause playback freeze due to insufficient bandwidth, and the viewing of the program will be greatly affected. Therefore, some smart terminals currently monopolize system resources when performing network upgrades of system software, and user...

Problems solved by technology

When the user is watching an online video program, if the system software is upgraded, a large amount of network download bandwidth will be occupied, which may cause playback freeze due to insufficient bandwidth, and the viewing of the program will be greatly affected

Therefore, at present, some smart terminals monopolize system resources when performing network upgrades of system software. During the download process of upgrade software, users cannot perform other operations, such as watching online video programs.
