Android intelligent terminal FOTA scheme

Abstract

The name of the invention is an FOTA scheme for continuous incremental upgrading of an Android intelligent terminal. The key point is how to solve the problems that in an existing FOTA upgrading increment scheme, when a new version is issued each time, increment upgrading packages between old versions of multiple versions and the new version need to be manufactured, or full package upgrading needsto be used, so that user flow is greatly wasted, and meanwhile great pressure is brought to test verification. By using continuous incremental upgrading of the invention, only one upgrade package needs to be manufactured when a new version is issued, and any version of all terminals can be ensured to be upgraded to the latest version at one time, so that the FOTA deployment complexity and the user upgrading complexity are greatly reduced, and the traffic overhead of air upgrading is reduced, and meanwhile, the FOTA upgrading test of the test is realized in an iterative manner like software. The invention relates to the field of mobile intelligent terminals.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of mobile intelligent terminals Background technique [0002] FOTA (Firmware Over-The-Air) is an over-the-air software upgrade for mobile terminals, which refers to providing firmware upgrades for devices with networking functions such as mobile phones, tablet computers, portable media players, and mobile Internet devices through cloud upgrade technology Service, users use the network to obtain smart terminal system upgrade packages in an on-demand and easy-to-expand manner, and perform cloud upgrades through FOTA to complete system repair and optimization. The disadvantages of the existing Android smart terminal FOTA technology include: [0003] 1. Incremental upgrade maintenance is very troublesome. If there are 10 upgrade versions, 55 upgrade packages are required to ensure that any version of all devices is upgraded to the latest version in one step. In view of this, many manufacturers upgrade across major versio...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] 1. Incremental upgrade maintenance is very troublesome. If there are 10 upgrade versions, 55 upgrade packages are required to ensure that any version of all devices is upgraded to the latest version in one step. In view of this, many manufacturers upgrade across major versions and directly deploy comprehensive upgrade packages. As a result, the upgrade package is large and consumes user traffic, especially the software is becoming more and more complex and bulky, and the size of the full upgrade package can easily reach 4GB;

[0004] 2. Local upgrades cannot be performed, and the downloaded upgrade package cannot be shared with other users to reduce user traffic usage and download process;

[0005] 3. The deployment is not flexible enough, and all strategies are hard-coded in the FOTA client program, which is difficult to be universal;

[0006] 4. The upgrade test and user upgrade conflict with each other;

[0007] 5. Every time a new version is released, it is necessary to make multiple incremental upgrade packages between the old version and the current new version, which brings great pressure to the testing work
