[0044] Some embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] With the development of technology, smart home appliances are widely used in daily life and play an indispensable role. The maintenance and upgrading of existing smart home appliances usually occur after a malfunction, requiring after-sales personnel to visit and provide an update plan. On the one hand, this involves longer waiting times and fewer update options; on the other hand, for older appliances, aging components, while not affecting functionality, can reduce the user experience. Since smart home appliances are often not damaged, users cannot obtain timely updates and miss out on many of the conveniences brought by new technologies.

[0046] In view of this, the present invention provides a device update reminder method, which involves: acquiring device information and the hardware to be updated within the device; determining, based on the device information, a replacement hardware that matches the device and has at least the same function as the hardware to be updated; determining the hardware update cost required to replace the hardware to be updated with the replacement hardware and the extended lifespan of the replaced device; determining an update plan based on the hardware update cost, the extended lifespan of the device, the cost of replacing the device with the replacement hardware, and the lifespan of the replacement hardware; and issuing a device update reminder based on the update plan. This method can promptly acquire the hardware to be updated and conveniently and quickly provide update plans, achieving intelligent device update reminders.

[0047] See Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a device update reminder method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, which may include:

[0048] Step S11: Obtain the device information and the hardware to be updated in the device;

[0049] Step S12: Based on the device information, identify alternative hardware that matches the device and has at least the same functions as the hardware to be updated;

[0050] Step S13: Determine the hardware upgrade cost required to replace the hardware to be upgraded with alternative hardware and the extended lifespan of the replaced device.

[0051] Step S14: Determine the upgrade plan based on the hardware upgrade cost, the lifespan of the entire machine, the cost of replacing the equipment with alternative equipment, and the lifespan of the alternative equipment.

[0052] Step S15: Based on the update plan, send an update reminder to the device.

[0053] In some embodiments, the device information may include the device model, and step S11 may specifically involve obtaining the device model and, for example... Figure 2 As shown, the hardware to be updated in the device is obtained through the following steps:

[0054] Step S111: Obtain the hardware parameters of the hardware in the device;

[0055] Step S112: Determine whether the hardware meets the update conditions based on the hardware parameters;

[0056] Step S123: When the hardware meets the update conditions, the hardware is designated as the hardware to be updated.

[0057] In some embodiments, hardware parameters may include hardware usage time and theoretical lifespan. Step S112 may specifically be: determining whether the difference between hardware usage time and theoretical lifespan is within a preset range, and determining that the hardware meets the update conditions when the difference between hardware usage time and theoretical lifespan is within the preset range.

[0058] The difference between the hardware's usage time and its theoretical lifespan is the hardware's remaining lifespan. The preset range can be set according to user needs. By determining whether the hardware's remaining lifespan meets the update conditions, hardware that needs to be updated can be identified in time before it reaches or approaches its theoretical lifespan, thus facilitating timely update reminders.

[0059] In some other embodiments, the hardware parameters may include the hardware version, and step S112 may specifically be: determining whether the hardware version matches the external device, and determining that the hardware meets the update conditions when the hardware version does not match the external device.

[0060] In other embodiments, the hardware parameters may also be hardware operating parameters, and step S112 may specifically be to determine whether the hardware has failed based on the hardware operating parameters, and when the hardware fails, to determine that the hardware meets the update conditions.

[0061] It should be noted that, in some other embodiments, obtaining the hardware to be updated in the device in step S11 can also be done by combining the following steps with the execution of steps S111-S113:

[0062] Compare the current device with the upgraded device; determine the hardware in the current device that needs to be updated based on the comparison results.

[0063] In some embodiments, step S12 may specifically involve retrieving replacement hardware that matches the device and has at least the same functionality as the hardware to be updated from a pre-stored reserve of the device or a server. As an example, the device information may be the device model, and replacement hardware that matches the device and has at least the same functionality as the hardware to be updated can be determined based on the device model.

[0064] In some embodiments, the replacement hardware can be hardware that is compatible with the device and has the same functions as the hardware to be updated; in another embodiment, the replacement hardware can be an upgraded version of the hardware to be updated, or hardware that is compatible with the device and has the same functions as the hardware to be updated while having additional functions, so as to meet the need to improve the device performance after the update or to make the device compatible with other external devices in the new space after relocation.

[0065] In some embodiments, step S13 may specifically involve determining the hardware update cost based on the price of the replacement hardware and the service fees required for the replacement.

[0066] In some embodiments, step S14 may specifically be:

[0067] Determine the first ratio between hardware upgrade costs and the extended lifespan of the entire machine;

[0068] Determine a second ratio of equipment cost to the lifespan of replacement equipment;

[0069] Determine the magnitude of the first ratio and the second ratio;

[0070] When the first ratio is less than the second ratio, an update scheme is generated based on the alternative hardware; when the first ratio is greater than or equal to the second ratio, an update scheme is generated based on the alternative device.

[0071] In this embodiment of the invention, the cost-effectiveness of device updates can be achieved by replacing the hardware to be updated with alternative hardware based on a first ratio analysis, or by directly replacing the old equipment with alternative equipment based on a second ratio analysis.

[0072] It should be noted that in other embodiments, an update plan can be generated by determining which update is more advantageous based on other methods, such as hardware update costs, overall machine lifespan, equipment costs, and replacement equipment lifespan.

[0073] In some embodiments, the replacement hardware-based update scheme can generate an update scheme for at least one of the following information: hardware update cost, identification information, image, model, and overall device lifespan.

[0074] In some embodiments, the replacement device-based update scheme can generate an update scheme based on at least one of the following information: replacement device cost, identification information, image, model, and replacement device lifespan.

[0075] In some embodiments, when an update plan is generated based on alternative hardware, step S15 may specifically be: pushing the update plan generated based on the alternative hardware to remind the device to update; in another embodiment, when an update plan is generated based on an alternative device, step S15 may specifically be: pushing the update plan generated based on the alternative device to remind the device to update.

[0076] In some embodiments, step S15 may specifically involve reminding the device to update by displaying or verbally announcing the update plan on the device.

[0077] In another embodiment, step S15 may specifically involve sending the update plan to the terminal device to remind the device to update.

[0078] The above describes a device update reminder method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The method involves: acquiring device information and the hardware to be updated within the device; determining, based on the device information, a replacement hardware that matches the device and has at least the same function as the hardware to be updated; determining the hardware update cost required to replace the hardware to be updated using the replacement hardware and the extended lifespan of the replaced device; determining an update plan based on the hardware update cost, the extended lifespan of the device, the device cost required to replace the device using the replacement hardware, and the lifespan of the replacement device; and providing a device update reminder based on the update plan. This method can promptly acquire the hardware to be updated and conveniently and quickly provide update plans, achieving intelligent device update reminders.

[0079] See Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a device update reminder method according to another embodiment of the present invention, which may include:

[0080] Step S21: Obtain device information;

[0081] Step S22: Compare the device with the upgrade device; determine the hardware in the device that needs to be updated based on the comparison results;

[0082] Step S23: Based on the device information, identify replacement hardware that matches the device and has the same functions as the hardware to be updated, while also having the added functions;

[0083] Step S24: Determine the hardware upgrade cost required to replace the hardware to be upgraded with alternative hardware and the extended lifespan of the replaced device.

[0084] Step S25: Determine the upgrade plan based on the hardware upgrade cost, the lifespan of the entire machine, the cost of replacing the equipment with alternative equipment, and the lifespan of the alternative equipment.

[0085] Step S26: Based on the update plan, send an update reminder to the device.

[0086] In some embodiments, device information may include device model, and step S21 may specifically involve obtaining the device model.

[0087] In some embodiments, step S22 may specifically involve obtaining an upgraded device with the same function as the current device from a pre-stored reserve of the device or from a server, comparing the upgraded device with the current device, and determining the hardware that the current device needs to replace to implement the function based on the added function of the upgraded device. This hardware is then designated as the hardware to be updated. For example, if the current device is an air conditioner, an upgraded air conditioner product with functions relative to the current air conditioner is obtained from the server. The current air conditioner is compared with the upgraded air conditioner product. The upgraded air conditioner adds a dust removal and sterilization function. The hardware or hardware group required to implement the dust removal and sterilization function is determined, and this hardware or hardware group is designated as the hardware to be updated.

[0088] In some embodiments, step S23 may specifically involve retrieving replacement hardware from a pre-stored repository of the device or a server that matches the device and has the same functions as the hardware to be updated, while also having the added functionality. As an example, the device information may be the device model, and replacement hardware that matches the device and has at least the same functions as the hardware to be updated can be determined based on the device model.

[0089] In some embodiments, step S24 may specifically involve determining the hardware update cost based on the price of the replacement hardware and the service fees required for the replacement.

[0090] In some embodiments, the replacement device may be the upgrade device obtained in step S22, and step S25 may specifically be:

[0091] Determine the first ratio between hardware upgrade costs and the extended lifespan of the entire machine;

[0092] Determine a second ratio between equipment cost and the lifespan of the upgraded equipment;

[0093] Determine the magnitude of the first ratio and the second ratio;

[0094] When the first ratio is less than the second ratio, an update plan is generated based on the alternative hardware; when the first ratio is greater than or equal to the second ratio, an update plan is generated based on the upgraded equipment.

[0095] In this embodiment of the invention, the cost-effectiveness of device updates can be achieved by replacing the hardware to be updated with alternative hardware based on a first ratio analysis, or by directly replacing the old equipment with an upgraded equipment based on a second ratio analysis.

[0096] In some embodiments, the replacement hardware-based update scheme can generate an update scheme for at least one of the following information: hardware update cost, identification information, image, model, and overall device lifespan.

[0097] In some embodiments, the update scheme generated based on the upgraded equipment can generate an update scheme based on at least one of the following information: equipment cost, identification information, image, model, and lifespan of the replacement equipment.

[0098] In some embodiments, when an update plan is generated based on alternative hardware, step S26 may specifically be: pushing the update plan generated based on alternative hardware to remind the device to update; in another embodiment, when an update plan is generated based on an upgraded device, step S26 may specifically be: pushing the update plan generated based on the upgraded device to remind the device to update.

[0099] In some embodiments, step S26 may specifically involve reminding the device to update by displaying or verbally announcing the update plan on the device.

[0100] In another embodiment, step S26 may further specifically involve sending the update plan to the terminal device to remind the device to update.

[0101] The above describes another embodiment of the device update reminder method provided by the present invention. It obtains device information, compares the device with an upgrade device, and determines the hardware to be updated in the device based on the comparison results. It then determines alternative hardware that matches the device and has at least the same function as the hardware to be updated, based on the device information. The method also determines the hardware update cost required to replace the hardware to be updated with the alternative hardware and the extended lifespan of the replaced device. Based on the hardware update cost, the extended lifespan of the device, the cost of replacing the device with the alternative hardware, and the lifespan of the alternative hardware, an update plan is determined. Finally, an update reminder is issued based on the update plan. This method, based on the obtained upgrade device, determines the hardware to be updated in the current device, and generates an update plan by comparing the cost and usable time of updating based on alternative hardware and updating directly based on the upgrade device. An update reminder is then issued based on the update plan. This method can promptly obtain information on the hardware to be updated, the update technology, and the device upgrade, and can conveniently and quickly provide update plans, achieving intelligent device update reminders.
