Problems solved by technology

These BLE devices are usually not connected to the Internet, so online automatic firmware upgrades cannot be realized, and engineers need to use upgrade tools (app) to upgrade them one by one
[0004] The existing BLE device firmware upgrade solution requires engineers to go to the project site to use the upgrade tool (app) to upgrade the BLE devices one by one, and the stable transmission rate of BLE is only 1KB / s. If an upgrade package has 300KB, it takes 5 It takes about 10 minutes to complete the upgrade. The upgrade workload is too large, it takes a long time, the upgrade efficiency is low, and engineers need to go to the site to upgrade, and the labor cost is high.

Abstract

The invention provides a firmware upgrading method and device based on a Bluetooth BLE device end. The method comprises the following steps: when a Bluetooth connection is established between a terminal and a Bluetooth BLE device end, device version information of the Bluetooth BLE device end is obtained; judging whether the Bluetooth BLE device needs firmware upgrade; If so, judging whether the Bluetooth BLE device terminal has an upgrade data segment; If not, sending a packet obtaining instruction to the server; The upgrade data fragment is received and sent to the Bluetooth BLE device sidevia Bluetooth to facilitate firmware upgrade of the current upgrade version. The invention realizes the automatic upgrading without networking in the Bluetooth BLE equipment, and avoids engineers fromcarrying out manual upgrading one by one to the project now, and allocates the upgrading task to each terminal connected through the Bluetooth, which has the advantages of small upgrading workload, high upgrading efficiency, short time consumption, and greatly reduces the labor cost of upgrading and maintenance.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of BLE Bluetooth technology, and more specifically, to a method and device for upgrading firmware based on a Bluetooth BLE device. Background technique [0002] Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth Low Energy, or Bluetooth LE, BLE, the old trademark BluetoothSmart), also known as Bluetooth Low Energy, is a personal area network technology designed and sold by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group, intended for use in healthcare, sports and fitness, Emerging applications in beacons, security, home entertainment, and more. Compared to classic Bluetooth, Bluetooth low energy is designed to significantly reduce power consumption and cost while maintaining the same communication range. [0003] At present, more and more BLE devices are used in access control systems, door locks and other fields. These BLE devices are usually not connected to the Internet, so online automatic firmware upgrades cannot be realized, and en...
