[0055] Example 1

[0056] This embodiment provides a method for batch upgrading intelligent firmware for terminal devices, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0057] The main problem addressed in this embodiment is to handle the batch upgrade needs of several firmware files in terminal devices, and to intelligently implement on-demand upgrades to meet current business requirements.

[0058] S100, initial configuration steps, specifically including:

[0059] S110. Configure the plug-in container and identify the peripheral type information supported by the terminal device; perform a generalized configuration operation based on the plug-in container and the peripheral type information to obtain a general interface and a general peripheral control toolkit.

[0060] Specifically, the peripheral type information includes the first peripheral type supported by several terminal devices, such as: contactless card reader, image recognition device, USB reading device, etc.

[0061] Specifically, the peripheral update request information includes several peripheral types; the peripheral type is the type of peripheral that needs to be upgraded.

[0062] Specifically, the generalized configuration operation includes:

[0063] Correspondingly, several peripheral interface parameters matching the first peripheral types are downloaded from the network data center; the peripheral interface parameters include the serial communication format specification and control command format corresponding to the peripheral; therefore, a general interface is configured on the terminal device, and the parameter conversion logic of the general interface is set; several calling parameters matching the several peripheral interface parameters are generated according to the parameter conversion logic; at the same time, the SDK corresponding to the peripheral type is obtained from the manufacturer of the peripheral, and finally several SDKs are obtained; based on the several calling parameters, the several SDKs are encapsulated again to obtain several peripheral control plugins; the several peripheral control plugins are placed into the plugin container to obtain a peripheral general control toolkit; S In this embodiment, DK refers to the software toolkit / software framework plugin corresponding to various functions of different types of peripherals. Correspondingly, since the purpose of the general interface is to achieve unified calling of different types of peripherals, its main calling logic is to convert the corresponding peripherals into dedicated control instructions based on several calling parameters. Correspondingly, in order to implement the corresponding functions of the peripheral, the general interface needs to call the SDK of the peripheral. Therefore, the calling logic of the SDK needs to be redesigned according to the calling parameters corresponding to the peripheral, that is, the SDK needs to be repackaged to generate the corresponding peripheral control plugin. Subsequently, in the calling process, only the general interface needs to call the peripheral control plugin to realize the control and function implementation of different types of peripherals.

[0064] S200, File Acquisition Steps, specifically including:

[0065] S210. Set the first file format, obtain the peripheral update requirement information of the terminal device, and perform an upgrade file acquisition operation based on the general interface, the peripheral general control toolkit, the first file format and the peripheral update requirement information to obtain the file to be upgraded;

[0066] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first file format includes, but is not limited to, JSON or XML formats; the limitation of the first file format is used to convert the configuration files corresponding to different peripheral types, thereby unifying the configuration file format and facilitating subsequent batch peripheral firmware upgrades.

[0067] Specifically, the upgrade file acquisition operation includes:

[0068] Correspondingly, identify several peripheral types in the peripheral update request information; at this time, it is necessary to perform step-by-step verification to determine whether an upgrade is possible; obtain several peripheral firmware upgrade files that match the several peripheral types according to the first file format in the management background of the terminal device; identify several first peripheral control plugins that match the several peripheral types; identify several peripherals to be detected on the terminal device that correspond to the several peripheral types; call the general interface and use the several first peripheral control plugins to obtain several first firmware version information corresponding to the several peripherals to be detected; identify the several peripheral firmware upgrade files... The system identifies several corresponding second firmware version information; it compares several first firmware version information with several second firmware version information according to the required peripheral type; in this embodiment, the comparison between firmware version information includes the comparison of firmware version numbers, the comparison of firmware performance indicators required by the version, etc. Only when the above data matches is it determined that the first firmware version information and the second firmware version information are matched. Correspondingly, if the version number of the first firmware version information is less than the version number of the second firmware version information, it is considered that the two are matched; therefore, the required peripheral type corresponding to the first firmware version information that matches the second firmware version information is set as the third peripheral type.

[0069] Identify the first peripheral firmware upgrade file corresponding to the third peripheral type among the several peripheral firmware upgrade files; the first peripheral firmware upgrade file is the file to be upgraded.

[0070] S300 Smart Upgrade Steps, specifically including:

[0071] S310. Set the baseline parameters, configure the firmware upgrade time matching table, and obtain the process information of the terminal device; perform a selective upgrade operation based on the general interface, the peripheral general control toolkit, the file to be upgraded, the baseline parameters, the firmware upgrade time matching table, and the process information.

[0072] Specifically, the benchmark parameters include: a rate limit benchmark value, a first time threshold, a second time threshold, a first time period, and a second time period. In this embodiment, the rate limit benchmark value is 1 / 2, which halves the download speed to ensure that the terminal device's business processing is not affected during the upgrade process. In this embodiment, the first time threshold is set to any value between 15 and 20 minutes, depending on the specific terminal device model and operating conditions. The second time threshold is set to any value between 30 and 45 minutes, depending on the specific terminal device model and operating conditions. The first time period is from 12:30 AM to 1:30 PM during the non-business hours of the institution where the terminal device is located. The second time period is from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM during the non-business hours of the institution where the terminal device is located.

[0073] Specifically, in this embodiment, the firmware upgrade time matching table is configured with several upgrade times and several resource usage values ​​that match the upgrade times respectively; the upgrade time is a combination of the device restart time and the installation and running time of the upgrade file; correspondingly, for example, a resource usage value of 1.5GB corresponds to an upgrade time of 15 minutes, and the larger the resource usage value, the longer the upgrade time; specifically, the process information refers to several processes that are running in the terminal device system.

[0074] Specifically, the selective upgrade operation includes:

[0075] The process involves: calculating the first resource usage value of the first peripheral firmware upgrade file; the first resource usage value being the size of the first peripheral firmware upgrade file, for example, 1.5GB; identifying several process IDs in the process information; process IDs including but not limited to several image names corresponding to several running process IDs in the terminal device; identifying several communication resource usage percentages corresponding to several process IDs in the process information; communication resource usage percentages being bandwidth usage; calculating the sum of several communication resource usage percentages to obtain a first usage percentage; obtaining a first bandwidth threshold for the terminal device; calculating a first product of the first bandwidth threshold and the first usage percentage to obtain a first bandwidth usage value; and calculating the first bandwidth usage value. The difference between the wide threshold and the first bandwidth occupancy value is used to obtain the first bandwidth redundancy value. The first bandwidth redundancy value is the available redundant bandwidth that is not occupied by any process and can be used to download related files. Therefore, the first download rate value is determined based on the first bandwidth redundancy value. The second download rate value is obtained by calculating the second product of the first download rate value and the rate limit benchmark value. The second download rate value is the download rate that ensures that it does not affect the existing processes of the terminal device. The first download time is obtained by calculating the quotient of the first resource occupancy value and the second download rate value. The first upgrade time that matches the first resource occupancy value is selected from the firmware upgrade time matching table. The time confirmation step is performed based on the first download time and the first upgrade time.

[0076] Specifically, the time confirmation step includes:

[0077] First, calculate the sum of the first download time and the first upgrade time to obtain the total upgrade time;

[0078] Compare the total upgrade time with the first time threshold;

[0079] If the total upgrade time is not greater than the first time threshold, it means that the upgrade can be completed in a very short time, so the first upgrade step is executed directly.

[0080] If the total upgrade time is greater than the first time threshold, it means that the upgrade can be completed in a very short time. Therefore, the first download time is compared with the second time threshold to determine whether background download can be performed. If the first upgrade time is not greater than the second time threshold, it means that background download can be performed in a relatively short time. Therefore, the second upgrade step is executed. If the first upgrade time is greater than the second time threshold, it means that background download cannot be performed in a relatively short time. Therefore, in order not to affect the normal operation of the device, the third upgrade step is executed.

[0081] Specifically, the first upgrade step includes: firstly, calling the general interface and using the third peripheral control plugin corresponding to the third peripheral type to download the first peripheral firmware upgrade file based on the second download rate value; then calling the general interface and using the third peripheral control plugin to run the downloaded first peripheral firmware upgrade file.

[0082] Specifically, the second upgrade step includes: allocating cache space in the storage area of ​​the terminal device, calling the general interface and using the third peripheral control plugin to download the first peripheral firmware upgrade file according to the second download rate value, and installing the upgrade file during idle time periods; therefore, during the first time period, calling the general interface and using the third peripheral control plugin to access the cache space and running the first peripheral firmware upgrade file in the cache space.

[0083] Specifically, the third upgrade step includes: performing the first upgrade step during the second time period.
