Abstract

The invention provides a client software updating method and apparatus. The method comprises the steps of converting a plurality of original files in a local current-version directory into a second current-version file; receiving increment files sent by a server; combining the increment files and the second current-version file into a second target-version file; decomposing the second target-version file into a plurality of new-version files; and replacing the original files with the new-version files to form a target-version directory. According to the method and the apparatus, the server can send the current-version increment file and the target-version increment file of a client to the client, the client can convert the original files in the local current-version directory into the second current-version file, and then the increment files and the second current-version file are combined and decomposed into the new-version files, so that increment updating of offline files is realized and flow consumption in the updating process is greatly reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of terminals, in particular to a method and device for updating client software. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of Internet technology, more and more smart devices have entered people's lives. People can install various client software (Application, APP) in smart devices to meet different needs. [0003] The client software usually includes multiple applications, and each application usually includes some offline resources that can be stored locally, such as CSS (Cascading Style Sheets, Cascading Style Sheets) files, JS (JavaScript) files, and the like. When the client software is updated, it is often necessary to re-download these offline resources from the server, resulting in more traffic consumption. Contents of the invention [0004] In view of this, the present application provides a method and device for updating client software. [0005] Specifically, this app...
