Device updating method, device updating device, storage medium, and intelligent device

Abstract

The invention discloses a device updating method, a device updating device, a storage medium, and an intelligent device. The device updating method comprises steps that device information of first device is broadcasted in a predetermined local area network, and comprises a software version number and an device identity number; device information of unicast responses provided by various devices inthe predetermined local area network according to the device identity number of the first device is received; when the highest software version number of the various devices is higher than the software version number of the first device, the device identity number corresponding to second device having the highest software version number, and a software updating request is transmitted to the second device according to the device identity number of the second device. The software version numbers of the intelligent devices in the same local area network are compared with each other, and according to a comparison result, the intelligent device having the highest software version.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a device upgrading method, device, storage medium and intelligent device. Background technique [0002] With the development of the Internet of Things and smart WIFI (Wireless-FIdelity) devices, it is necessary to continuously improve the functions of WIFI devices in users' homes through OTA (Over-the-Air Technology) upgrades. Most of the traditional OTA upgrades are For OTA upgrade of WIFI device through mobile phone or remote server, the WIFI device needs to be able to connect to the remote server through the router's external network or connect to the mobile phone through the local area network, otherwise the OTA upgrade cannot be performed. [0003] When the WIFI device is OTA upgraded through the remote server, after the WIFI device is connected to the remote server, when there is an updated version of software on the server, the WIFIi device can be upgraded by OTA...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the OTA upgrade of WIFI devices through remote servers requires WIFI devices to be able to connect to remote servers, which depends on the stability and speed of the operator's network. When the network is unstable, the upgrade time is long and it is easy to fail. An upgrade system needs to be established on the server, and the upgrade is controlled by humans; in the way of OTA upgrade of the WIFI device through the mobile phone, the mobile phone stores the program of the WIFI device in advance, which needs to occupy the memory of the mobile phone, and the mobile phone and the WIFI device need to be in the same local area network. The mobility of the mobile phone is strong, and the upgrade will fail when the mobile phone leaves the LAN

[0005] Therefore, when the existing technology upgrades the software of the devices in the local area network, once the network is unstable or disconnected, the upgrade will fail
