Embodiment 1

[0108] Embodiments of the present invention provide a FOTA upgrade method, refer to image 3 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0109] Step S301, acquiring a first file attribute of a first file.

[0110] Here, the first file is stored in the first partition, and the first file attribute includes at least a first time stamp. The first partition may be a system partition, which contains system application programs and library files other than the kernel / ramdisk; under normal operating conditions, this partition is in a read-only state. Stored in the first file may be some parameters that can be modified by the manufacturer and customized for special groups of people.

[0111] Specifically, obtaining the first file attribute of the first file in step 301 may be implemented by a FOTA upgrade device. The information processing device may be a terminal, and the terminal may preferably be a mobile terminal, for example, a mobile phone (mobile phone), an iPad, a ...

Embodiment 2

[0135] Embodiments of the present invention provide a FOTA upgrade method, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0136] In step S401, the terminal acquires an instruction to perform FOTA upgrade issued by the user.

[0137] Here, the user finds the option "Check for Update" through "Mobile Phone--Settings--About Phone--Software Update--Check for Update". After clicking, the phone will connect to the Internet and automatically search for the latest firmware.

[0138] If the terminal detects that there is the latest firmware, a pop-up window will prompt, and the user needs to click (Yes) to download the data package, such as Figure 5 Shown in 510.

[0139] After the download of the data package is completed, the terminal will further prompt the user whether to choose to install, and the user only needs to click Yes (Yes) to automatically install and upgrade, such as Image 6 Shown in 610.

[0140] Step S402, the terminal obtains the first f...

Embodiment 3

[0151] An embodiment of the present invention provides a FOTA upgrade method, Figure 9 It is a schematic diagram of the implementation flow of the FOTA upgrade method in the embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 9 As shown, the steps include:

[0152] Step S901, determining the parameter whose parameter value changes in the first partition;

[0153] Here, the parameter whose value is changed may be customized and modified by the manufacturer for special groups of people, or may be modified by the user according to his actual needs.

[0154] Step S902, storing the parameters in the second partition;

[0155] Here, in the embodiment of the present invention, the parameters with changed parameter values ​​are stored in the second partition, and these changed parameter values ​​constitute the files to be upgraded. Rather than storing all the files where the changed parameters are located in the second partition as in other embodiments, and determining them as files t...

Abstract

An embodiment of the invention discloses an FOTA upgrade device. The device comprises a first obtaining module for obtaining a first file attribute of a first file, wherein the first file is stored in a first subarea, and the first file attribute at least comprises a first time stamp; a second obtaining module for obtaining a second file attribute of a second file, wherein the second file is stored in a second subarea, the first subarea and the second subarea are different subareas, the first file and the second file store same parameters, and the second file attribute at least comprises a second time stamp; a first determination module for determining a file to be upgraded according to the first time stamp and the second time stamp; and a first upgrade module for carrying out FOTA (firmware over-the-air) upgrade on the file to be upgraded. The embodiment of the invention also discloses an FOTA upgrade method, which solves the problem of FOTA upgrade failure when a mobile terminal is customized or a user modifies system parameters is solved, thereby reducing FOTA upgrade failure probability and improving user experience.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of communication, and in particular to a firmware over-the-air (FOTA) upgrade device and method. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the development of mobile communication technology, wireless terminals such as smartphones, home gateways, and tablet computers integrate multimedia, personal information management, and entertainment functions, and are more and more widely used by people. At the same time, there are more and more types of software on the wireless terminal, and the functions are more and more complex. Large-scale software products inevitably have some defects, and it is difficult to meet the needs of all users. For wireless terminals that have been sold, if the software is found to be defective during the user's use, causing problems such as frequent crashes and failure to search for the network, the software of the wireless terminal needs to be upgraded. In addition, ...
