Embodiment Construction

[0016] In order to make the purpose, technical means and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0017] In the current OTA upgrade method, the OTA sets a timer, and when the timer period expires, the OTA module inquires whether there is a new version of the software on the server through the network. If the network or server is abnormal when the OTA module performs a new version query, the OTA module of the terminal will not be able to obtain the latest version information, and the query can only be performed after the next OTA download cycle. If the period of the OTA timer is very long, it may cause the problem that the software cannot be downloaded in time as described in the background art.

[0018] At the same time, further, when the OTA module discovers a new version of the software and downloads the new version, if the network is interrupted or the mo...

Abstract

The invention discloses a hand-held terminal OTA upgrading method. The method comprises the steps that a hand-held terminal OTA module regularly inquires whether a new version of software exists or not on a server through a network according to a set conventional inquiring cycle; when the new version of the software is inquired, the new version is downloaded and upgraded; when the OTA module conducts inquiring, if the OTA module cannot be connected with a server, the OTA module shortens the inquiring cycle, and timely inquiring operation is executed according to the shortened inquiring cycle. By applying the hand-held terminal OTA upgrading method, finding and upgrading of the new version of the software can be conducted in time.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to a communication terminal technology, in particular to an over-the-air (OTA) upgrade method for a handheld terminal. Background technique [0002] After the handheld terminal is turned on, the OTA module will start a timer to periodically query the network server for a new software version. If there is a new version, it will download the new software version and upgrade it. [0003] If the network is interrupted or the mobile phone is powered off during the above-mentioned process of downloading the new software version, after the network is restored or the mobile phone is powered on, the OTA module will continue to download the rest of the software version. [0004] However, in the process of downloading a new software version by the above-mentioned OTA module, the problem that software download and update cannot be performed in time due to network abnormality or abnormal service area often occurs. [0005] In additi...
