[0064] To enable those of ordinary skill in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0065] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present disclosure and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily need to be used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present disclosure described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a schematic diagram of an application environment shown according to an exemplary embodiment. The application environment may include a terminal 110 (vehicle), a server 120 (automobile enterprise), and a supervision system 130. The terminal 110, the server 120, and the supervision system 130 can be connected to each other through a wired network or a wireless network.

[0067] The terminal 110 includes physical devices such as smartphones, desktop computers, tablet computers, laptop computers, digital assistants, and smart wearable devices, and may also include software running on the physical devices, such as an application program (abbreviated as App). The application program may be a dedicated application program for controlling vehicle driving, or other application programs with vehicle driving control functions, such as application programs configured with a power system, a braking system, etc. The operating systems running on the physical devices in the embodiments of the present application may include, but are not limited to, Android, IOS, Linux, Unix, Windows, etc. The terminal 110 may include a UI (User Interface, vehicle application program update object interface) layer. The terminal 110 provides input and display of query information through the UI layer. In addition, corresponding information is sent to the server 120 and / or the supervision system 130 based on the API (Application Programming Interface).

[0068] The server 120 can be a server that provides background services for applications in the terminal 110. Specifically, the service provided by the server 120 can be an update service for the application. The server 120 can be an independent physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers. It can also be a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, CDN, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

[0069] The supervision system 130 can be a set third-party platform or institution for supervising vehicle enterprises (servers). Its configuration is similar to that of the server 120, and both are servers that provide background services for applications in the terminal 110. It can be understood that the supervision system 130 can be a server for data storage and data verification.

[0070] In a first aspect, embodiments of this specification introduce the present disclosure with the terminal as the execution subject. Figure 2 It is a flowchart of a vehicle application update method shown according to an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, and the method may include the following steps:

[0071] In step S201, receive an update request sent by the server. The update request carries a first update identifier, and the update request is sent when the server completes the filing of the information to be filed based on the supervision system. The information to be filed includes: a second update identifier.

[0072] Specifically, the server may store an application database corresponding to each application in the vehicle, which is used to provide application update installation packages for the applications in the vehicle.

[0073] Specifically, when the server updates the applications in the vehicle, it can send the information to be filed required by the supervision system to the supervision system. The information to be filed may include an associated second update identifier, a second data packet verification identifier, and a second vehicle identifier. Among them, the second update identifier is unique and can be used to verify whether the updated application in the vehicle has been filed. The second data packet verification identifier can be the unique identifier of the update installation package corresponding to the application, such as a digital signature, etc., and can be used to verify whether the corresponding update installation package is provided by the server. The second vehicle identifier can also be unique, such as the vehicle model. It can be understood that the vehicle model is the unique identifier provided by the server (vehicle enterprise) to represent this type of vehicle.

[0074] After the regulatory system stores the information to be filed received in the blockchain node, it indicates that the information to be filed is completed. The regulatory system can return a filing completion instruction to the server to instruct the server to send an update request to the corresponding application. The update request is used to instruct the vehicle to update the application.

[0075] Specifically, the update request may carry a first update identifier. The first update identifier may be the same as the second update identifier for filing, or may be different from the second update identifier.

[0076] It can be understood that the specific formats of the above first update identifier, second update identifier, second data packet verification identifier, and second vehicle identifier are not specifically limited in the embodiments of this specification. They may be strings, such as 100-132-ad2*, etc.

[0077] It can be understood that the server can send the update request in a push manner, that is, the server can push the update request according to the above vehicle identifier.

[0078] In step S203, based on the update request, the first update identifier is sent to the corresponding regulatory system of the vehicle to verify whether the first update identifier and the second update identifier match.

[0079] In an optional embodiment, sending the first update identifier to the corresponding regulatory system of the vehicle based on the update request to verify whether the first update identifier and the second update identifier match may include:

[0080] Obtain the status data of the vehicle based on the update request.

[0081] Specifically, the status data may include the speed of the vehicle, the remaining battery power of the vehicle, the version number of the application corresponding to the update request, etc.

[0082] When the status data meets the preset requirements, the first update identifier is sent to the corresponding regulatory system of the vehicle to verify whether the first update identifier and the second update identifier match.

[0083] Specifically, the preset requirements can be pre-set and are associated with the vehicle's status data. When the status data can include the vehicle speed, the remaining battery power of the vehicle, and the current version number of the application corresponding to the update request, when the vehicle speed is zero, the remaining battery power of the vehicle is greater than the preset power threshold, and the difference between the current version number of the application corresponding to the update request and the target version number of the application corresponding to the update request is the preset difference, it can be determined that the status data meets the preset requirements. Among them, the vehicle speed is used to indicate whether the vehicle is driving. When the vehicle is driving, the application cannot be updated. The remaining battery power of the vehicle is used to indicate whether it can support the update of the application. The current version number is used to indicate whether the application can perform the update. For example, if the current version number is 1.1.1 and the target version number is 1.1.2, it means that the application can complete the update.

[0084] When the status data meets the preset requirements, the first update identifier can be sent to the supervision system corresponding to the vehicle. After receiving the first update identifier, the supervision system can match it with the second update identifier on record. If the first update identifier and the second update identifier match, it means that the update corresponding to the application is already on record. If the first update identifier and the second update identifier do not match, it means that the update corresponding to the application has not been recorded. At this time, an instruction indicating that the update cannot be performed can be returned to the corresponding vehicle so that the vehicle does not update the application.

[0085] In step S205, receive the update instruction returned by the supervision system. The update instruction is sent when the supervision system verifies that the first update identifier and the second update identifier match.

[0086] Specifically, when the supervision system verifies that the first update identifier and the second update identifier match, the supervision system can return an update instruction. The update instruction indicates that the application corresponding to the update request can be updated, that is, the update instruction can be used to instruct the vehicle to update the application corresponding to the update request.

[0087] In step S207, download the update installation package of the application corresponding to the update request based on the update instruction.

[0088] Specifically, the update request can carry the download address of the update installation package of the application to be updated. After receiving the update instruction, the vehicle can access the above download address to download the application update installation package.

[0089] In step S209, update the corresponding application based on the update installation package.

[0090] Specifically, the vehicle can run the update installation package to complete the update of the application.

[0091] Updates to applications often require user confirmation before they can be updated.

[0092] In an optional embodiment, the update request includes: description information of the update installation package;

[0093] Specifically, the description information of the update installation package can be used to outline the specific content of the application update, such as the current version number and the target version number allowing the application to be updated, the size of the update installation package, the estimated update duration, a description of the modification points, information on the updated components, vehicle technical parameters involved in the update, vehicle system or function information (such as new functions added, changes made, defect fixes, or improvement of the user experience), etc.

[0094] Downloading the application update installation package corresponding to the update request based on the update instruction includes:

[0095] Displaying the description information on a preset page of the vehicle based on the update instruction.

[0096] Downloading the application update installation package corresponding to the update request in response to a confirmation upgrade instruction triggered by the preset page.

[0097] Specifically, the preset page can be a page automatically triggered (opened) when the terminal (vehicle) receives the update instruction. A first control area (such as a button) for confirming the update can be displayed on the preset page. When the user touches or clicks on the above control area, it indicates that the user agrees to update the corresponding application and simultaneously triggers a confirmation upgrade instruction. It can be understood that a second control area (such as a button) for rejecting the update can be displayed on the preset page. When the user touches or clicks on the above control area, it indicates that the user rejects the update of the corresponding application and simultaneously triggers a reject update application instruction.

[0098] In the embodiments of this specification, through user intervention, when the user agrees to update the application, the application is updated. At the same time, the user can also reject the update of the application, providing a choice for the user and improving user satisfaction.

[0099] In the vehicle application update method provided by the embodiments of this specification, when the application in the vehicle is updated, the vehicle manufacturer can send the update content of the specified vehicle to the corresponding supervision system for filing and registration to clarify the specific update content and the updated vehicle. After the filing and registration, when the vehicle performs the corresponding application update, it can send a corresponding first update identifier to the supervision system and complete the verification of the first update identifier through the supervision system. Only after the verification is passed can the vehicle update the application, ensuring a detailed record of the application update in each vehicle and avoiding the occurrence of the situation where the vehicle manufacturer avoids recalling and updating the application, thereby reducing the safety hazards of the vehicle.

[0100] Based on the above embodiments, in one embodiment of this specification, the update installation package carries a first data packet verification identifier.

[0101] Specifically, the update installation package is an executable file that can update the application program. The update installation package can carry a first data packet verification identifier, and the first data packet verification identifier can be a digital signature (also known as a public key digital signature, electronic signature). A digital signature is a kind of ordinary physical signature written on paper, but it is implemented using technologies in the field of public key cryptography and is a method for authenticating digital information. A set of digital signatures usually defines two complementary operations, one for signing and the other for verification.

[0102] A digital signature is a digital string that can only be generated by the sender of the information and cannot be forged by others. This digital string is also a valid proof of the authenticity of the information sent by the sender of the information.

[0103] When receiving the update instruction returned by the supervision system, the method further includes: receiving a second data packet verification identifier associated with the second update identifier returned by the supervision system.

[0104] Specifically, the second data packet verification identifier associated with the second update identifier is filed in the supervision system. When the supervision system returns the update instruction, it can simultaneously return the second data packet verification identifier associated with the second update identifier. The second data packet verification identifier is provided by the server (automobile enterprise) during filing.

[0105] Before updating the corresponding application program based on the update installation package, the method includes:

[0106] Verifying whether the first data packet verification identifier and the second data packet verification identifier are the same.

[0107] Correspondingly, the update of the corresponding application program based on the update installation package is performed when the first data packet verification identifier and the second data packet verification identifier are the same.

[0108] Specifically, one of the first data packet verification identifier and the second data packet verification identifier can be used for signing, and the other for verification. For example, the supervision system encrypts the second data packet verification identifier with the private key of the supervision system and transmits it to the terminal (vehicle) together with the original text. The terminal (vehicle) can only decrypt the encrypted second data packet verification identifier with the public key of the supervision system, and then process the second data packet verification identifier with the HASH function and compare it with the decrypted second data packet verification identifier. If they are the same, it means that the received second data packet verification identifier is complete and has not been modified during the transmission process; otherwise, it means that the second data packet verification identifier has been modified.

[0109] Before the application program is updated in the embodiments of this specification, the second data packet verification identifier filed in the supervision system is verified against the first data packet verification identifier in the update installation package, and the update of the application program is only executed after successful matching, ensuring the security of the updated application program and preventing the update installation package from being tampered with, resulting in incorrect updates.

[0110] Based on the above embodiments, in one embodiment of this specification, the information to be filed further includes: a second vehicle identifier associated with the second update identifier.

[0111] Specifically, the second vehicle identifier may be the same as the first vehicle identifier, both of which can be used to represent the vehicle type.

[0112] In an optional embodiment, the sending the first update identifier to the supervision system corresponding to the vehicle includes:

[0113] Sending the first update identifier and the first vehicle identifier of the vehicle to the supervision system corresponding to the vehicle, so that the supervision system verifies whether the first update identifier matches the second vehicle identifier and whether the first update identifier matches the second update identifier.

[0114] Specifically, the first vehicle identifier may be an identifier pre-implanted in the vehicle, which may be a unique identifier such as a vehicle identification number. That is, the first vehicle identifier may correspond to a second vehicle identifier. That is, the vehicle identification number may correspond to a specific vehicle type.

[0115] The second vehicle identifier and the first vehicle identifier within the jurisdiction are filed in the supervision system. After receiving the first update identifier and the first vehicle identifier of the vehicle, the supervision system can verify whether the first update identifier matches the second vehicle identifier and whether the first update identifier matches the second update identifier. Only when both of the above match, the supervision system will return an update instruction to the corresponding terminal (vehicle).

[0116] Correspondingly, the update instruction returned by the supervision system is sent when the supervision system verifies that the first update identifier matches the second vehicle identifier and the first update identifier matches the second update identifier.

[0117] The vehicle application program update method provided by the embodiments of this specification verifies whether the application program in the vehicle meets the update requirements through a double-verification method. Only when both double-verifications pass can the corresponding application program update be executed, avoiding the vehicle from updating an incorrect application program and causing safety accidents, and at the same time further improving the security of the vehicle application program update.

[0118] Based on the above embodiments, in one embodiment of this specification, updating the corresponding application program based on the updated installation package includes:

[0119] Storing the updated installation package in the first partition for execution of the update, with the application program of the current version stored in the second partition, and both the first partition and the second partition can be read or called;

[0120] Setting the application program of the target version after the update to be preferentially read or called.

[0121] Specifically, at least two partitions can be set in the terminal (vehicle), namely the first partition and the second partition, and both the first partition and the second partition can be read or called. One partition is used to store the application program before the update, and the other partition is used to store the application program after the update. That is, the first partition and the second partition serve as backup partitions for each other. After the application program is updated, the partition where the application program of the historical version is located can be formatted, or the application program of the historical version can be retained. However, when using the application program to perform corresponding tasks, the latest version of the application program can be used to perform the corresponding tasks. When the update fails, the application program before the update is still used to perform the corresponding tasks.

[0122] The vehicle application program update method provided by the embodiments of this specification uses a dual-backup method to perform the update of the application program. After the update is successful, the updated application program can be used to perform tasks. After the update fails, the application program before the update is used to perform tasks, improving the reliability of the application program and avoiding the scenario where the application program cannot be used due to a failed update.

[0123] Based on the above embodiments, in one embodiment of this specification, the method further includes:

[0124] After the update is completed, sending update completion information carrying the first vehicle identifier to the supervision system and the server, so that the supervision system stores the received update completion information in the corresponding blockchain node, and the server records and stores the received update completion information. The update completion information includes the content of the application program update.

[0125] Specifically, in order to avoid repeated sending of update requests or to avoid untimely update of the application program in some vehicles, after the application program is updated, the vehicle can send the update completion information of the first vehicle identifier to the supervision system and the server.

[0126] Specifically, the update completion information may include the version number information of the current version and the target version of the application, the size of the update installation package, the actual upgrade duration, the description of modification points, the information of upgraded components, the vehicle technical parameters involved in the upgrade, the vehicle system or function information (such as new function addition, change, defect repair, or user experience improvement), etc.

[0127] The supervision system may store the above update completion information in the blockchain according to the first vehicle identifier, record the update data for the vehicle corresponding to the first vehicle identifier, and at the same time avoid the server party changing the above update completion information when an accident occurs due to the application update of the vehicle, thereby improving user satisfaction.

[0128] The server may also record the above update completion information, add an update completion identifier to the updated vehicle according to the first vehicle identifier, which is convenient for counting the update situation of the application of the vehicle corresponding to the second vehicle identifier. And it can resend the above update request to the vehicle that has not updated the application after a preset time, so as to increase the scope of the vehicle application update and improve the user experience.

[0129] In a second aspect, the present disclosure will be introduced below with the supervision system as the execution subject. Figure 3 It is a flowchart of another vehicle application update method shown according to an exemplary embodiment. Please refer to Figure 3 The present disclosure provides a vehicle application update method, and the method includes:

[0130] In step S301, receive the information to be filed sent by the server, where the information to be filed includes: a second update identifier, a second data packet verification identifier, and a second vehicle identifier that are mutually associated;

[0131] In step S303, store the information to be filed in the blockchain node, and return a filing completion instruction to the server, so that the server sends an update request carrying the first update identifier to the vehicle corresponding to the second vehicle identifier based on the filing completion instruction;

[0132] In step S305, receive the first update identifier sent by the vehicle;

[0133] In step S307, send an update instruction to the vehicle when it is verified that the first update identifier matches the second update identifier, and the update instruction is used to instruct the vehicle to complete the update of the application corresponding to the first update identifier.

[0134] Based on the above embodiments, in one embodiment of this specification, the method further includes:

[0135] Send a second data packet verification identifier associated with the second update identifier to the vehicle.

[0136] Based on the above embodiments, in one embodiment of this specification, the method further includes:

[0137] Receiving update completion information carrying a first vehicle identifier sent by a vehicle;

[0138] Storing the update completion information in a blockchain node corresponding to the information to be put on record.

[0139] Since the method on the regulatory system side is related to the method on the above terminal side and has been disclosed on the terminal side above, it has the same technical effects as the terminal side and will not be elaborated here.
