A software upgrading method and device

Abstract

Embodiments of the invention disclose a software upgrading method and device. The software upgrading method includes: a handshaking signal is sent to a terminal device by an upgrading device and a corresponding response signal is generated by the terminal device; the upgrading device receives the response signal transmitted by the terminal device, the type of the terminal device is determined according to the response signal; when the type of the terminal device is a terminal server, the upgrading device receives a updating command transmitted by the terminal server, and the self-updating is performed according to the device information of the updating command; when the type of the terminal device is a device to be upgraded, the upgrading device receives the attribute information transmitted by the device to be updated, a corresponding software upgrading package is obtained and sent to the device to be updated according to the attribute information, and the software upgrading is performed by the device to be updated. The software of the device to be updated can be timely updated, and the user experience is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of software upgrading, in particular to a software upgrading method and device. Background technique [0002] Software upgrade refers to upgrading the software version of the device from a lower version to a higher version. Since the higher version software often fixes the bugs in the lower version software or has new functions, compared with the lower version software, the upgraded high The version software has better performance, can get optimized style effects, and users can have a better experience. [0003] At present, for example, in the software upgrading methods of video monitoring equipment, it is mainly to use network cables or data cables to connect the equipment to be upgraded to the personal computer, and to perform local upgrade by means of the client on the personal computer; or to connect the equipment to be upgraded to Go to the Internet and perform remote online upgrades through the Intern...

Problems solved by technology

However, for devices deployed in remote markets, it is impossible to guarantee that all areas have a good network environment, so for areas with poor network facilities, the network connection may be unstable, resulting in the failure of remote online upgrades.

For equipment to be upgraded that cannot be upgraded remotely online, it can only be upgraded through a local connection. However, for equipment in remote markets, it is often difficult to ensure that there must be a personal computer nearby. Therefore, it may be necessary to manually move the equipment to be upgraded to It is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive to perform a local connection near a personal computer and then perform a software upgrade for a larger device to be upgraded, resulting in a delay in the upgrade of the device to be upgraded and affecting the user experience
