Abstract

The invention provides a firmware upgrade method and system. The method comprises the steps that a version upgrade instruction input by a user is obtained, wherein the version upgrade instruction at least comprises a device address of a target object; a version information access instruction is sent to the target object according to the device address; a firmware version number and a firmware code number, fed back by the target object according to the version information access instruction, of the target object are obtained; the latest version number corresponding to the firmware version number and an address url of firmware upgrade are obtained from a server corresponding to the target object, and a firmware application program corresponding to the latest firmware version number is stored in the address url of firmware upgrade; when an upgrade confirming instruction input by the user is obtained, a target device is controlled to access the address url of firmware upgrade, and the firmware application program stored in the address url of firmware upgrade is obtained and issued to the target object through the address url of firmware upgrade. Timely upgrade of the firmware version of the target device is achieved, and the user experience is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electrical equipment, in particular to a firmware upgrading method and system for upgrading the firmware program of electrical equipment. Background technique [0002] At present, smart electrical equipment has entered thousands of households. Each electrical equipment must be loaded with necessary control programs when it leaves the factory. In order to provide users with better services, electrical equipment developers will continue to test the control programs of electrical equipment. And adjustments to repair the loopholes in the original control program and add new functions to electrical equipment. [0003] However, when the new control program is developed, the operation and maintenance personnel of the electrical equipment need to go to the equipment site to manually update the control program of the equipment. Since the operation and maintenance personnel cannot know the specific location informa...
