Software upgrading method for use in computer systems

Abstract

The invention discloses a software location method in computer system which can make user end program to obtain the newest location data and keep synchronous with location server on the occasion that it occupies the least custom system resource and location server resource. The method can do timing inquire location to software's custom end program on normal condition, it can also posit software's emergency early warning location information by server on emergency condition and abridge the visit time of custom to obtain the needed newest location data of location software as soon as possible. It can used in distributed application software system which has multiply users.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a software upgrading method used in a computer system. Background technique [0002] At present, many application software installed in the user's computer need to be frequently upgraded through the network. By updating the upgrade file and keeping in sync with the upgrade server, the function of the software can be improved and improved. Typical examples of application software in this regard include anti-virus software, Online game software, etc. At present, the commonly used network upgrade methods include: manual upgrade by the user, automatic upgrade at regular intervals, first upgrade when the software starts to run, etc. The latest upgrade file information, and determine whether the two are different to determine whether an upgrade is required, and if an upgrade is required, download the latest upgrade file and take upgrade measures. Some software, especially anti-virus software, often needs to b...

Problems solved by technology

At present, most anti-virus software has the function of automatically connecting to the upgrade server at fixed time intervals, but there are the following disadvantages: on the one hand, if the fixed time interval for automatically connecting to the upgrade server set in the user's computer is relatively short, the client program will frequently connect to the upgrade server , will not only waste user system resources, but also cause network congestion or even blockage and increase the burden on the upgrade server; Updates, causing delays in some key upgrades and may even lead to unexpected failures in the user's computer system. For example, when a malicious virus breaks out, the software upgrade service provider is analyzing and processing the virus and has not completed the upgrade file. Upgrade the server There is no upgrade file on the Internet, and the user will not get the upgrade information when connecting to the upgrade server at this time, and the upgrade cannot be performed until the next time the upgrade server is connected to the upgrade server after the fixed time interval. Upgrades lead to poisoning, causing trouble to users
