Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to an integrated management method, platform, device, and medium for software products based on dimension definition. Background Technology

[0002] Software development companies often face the challenge of developing numerous products simultaneously or providing upgrades to existing ones. Due to the sheer number of software products, some running on different operating systems (e.g., Android, Windows), or adapting to various devices (e.g., smart TVs, smartphones, tablets), and requiring distribution across different channels, product identification can be difficult and prone to confusion without proper management. To address this issue, the industry typically uses product IDs to define software products and leverage these IDs to implement OTA (Over-the-Air Technology) upgrade services.

[0003] However, there is currently no unified rule for defining software product IDs. Instead, they are defined arbitrarily by developers, which may conflict with the definitions of other people. Moreover, the definition of software product IDs and OTA upgrade services are usually carried out separately and are not directly related. This can lead to upgrade errors during OTA upgrade services due to misreading the software product ID or using the wrong distribution channel. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide an integrated management method, platform, device and medium for software products based on dimension definition. The definition of software product ID and channel ID and OTA upgrade service are integrated into a single platform. The software product ID follows a unified dimension definition rule, and the subsequent OTA upgrade service is set in the next level interface of software product ID and channel ID, thereby avoiding upgrade errors.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an integrated management method for software products based on dimension definition, executed on an integrated platform, comprising:

[0006] The product ID definition process involves providing a product ID definition interface for users to select or create the required dimensions for the corresponding software product, responding to the dimension values ​​entered by the user, and generating a string with delimiters according to the dimension values ​​in a predetermined order. This string is the product ID of the software product.

[0007] The channel ID definition step involves providing a channel ID definition interface after the product ID definition step is completed, allowing users to input the channel name of the software product and generating the channel ID of the software product based on the channel name.

[0008] In the development or upgrade preparation steps, after the channel ID definition step is completed, a save and trigger button is provided. In response to the user's click, the product ID and channel ID of the software product are saved together and sent to the developers for input into the software product code during development or for verification during upgrade.

[0009] The OTA upgrade service steps provide a predefined list of product IDs and channel IDs for selection. After the user selects the product ID and channel ID, an OTA upgrade service interface is provided, allowing the user to select the corresponding upgrade package to upload.

[0010] Secondly, the present invention provides an integrated management platform for software products based on dimension definition, comprising:

[0011] The product ID definition module provides a product ID definition interface for users to select or create the required dimensions for the corresponding software product. It responds to the dimension values ​​entered by the user and generates a string with delimiters according to the dimension values ​​in a predetermined order. This string is the product ID of the software product.

[0012] The channel ID definition module is used to provide a channel ID definition interface after the product ID definition step is completed, allowing the user to input the channel name of the software product and generate the channel ID of the software product based on the channel name;

[0013] The development preparation step is used to provide a trigger button after the channel ID definition step is completed. When the user clicks the button, the product ID and channel ID of the software product are sent to the software product development platform for input into the software product code during development.

[0014] Thirdly, the present invention provides an electronic device including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the program to implement the method described in the first aspect.

[0015] Fourthly, the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the method described in the first aspect.

[0016] The one or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this invention have at least the following technical effects or advantages: This invention integrates the definition of software product ID and channel ID with OTA upgrade services into a single platform. The software product ID adheres to unified dimensional definition rules, and the subsequent OTA upgrade service is implemented in the next-level interface below the software product ID and channel ID, thereby avoiding upgrade errors. Furthermore, anti-duplicate checks are added during the definition process of software product ID and channel ID to ensure their uniqueness. In the subsequent OTA upgrade service, the name of the software package is verified to prevent mismatches, thus avoiding upgrade errors caused by misidentification of product ID and channel ID.

[0017] The above description is merely an overview of the technical solution of the present invention. In order to better understand the technical means of the present invention and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, and in order to make the above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention are described below.

[0027] This application provides an integrated management method, platform, device, and medium for software products based on dimension definitions. It integrates the definitions of software product ID and channel ID with OTA upgrade services into a single platform. The software product ID follows a unified dimension definition rule, and the subsequent OTA upgrade services are set up in the next level interface of the software product ID and channel ID, thereby avoiding upgrade errors.

[0028] The overall concept of the technical solution in this application is as follows: This invention integrates the definition of software product ID and channel ID with OTA upgrade services into a single platform. The software product ID adheres to a unified dimensional definition rule, and the subsequent OTA upgrade service is implemented in the next-level interface below the software product ID and channel ID, thereby avoiding upgrade errors. Furthermore, a duplicate check is added during the definition process of the software product ID and channel ID to ensure their uniqueness. In the subsequent OTA upgrade service, the name of the software package is verified to prevent mismatches, thus avoiding upgrade errors caused by misidentification of product ID and channel ID.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides an integrated management method for software products based on dimension definition, including product ID definition steps, channel ID definition steps, and development preparation steps, and may also include upgrade rule definition steps.

[0031] The product ID definition process involves providing a product ID definition interface for users to select or create the required dimensions for the corresponding software product. It responds to user-inputted dimension values ​​and generates a string with delimiters according to the dimension values ​​in a predetermined order; this string is the product ID of the software product. During string generation, the process first checks for duplicates. If a duplicate is found, the user is prompted to modify any dimension value, thus ensuring the uniqueness of the product ID. The delimiter can be a space or any of the following: underscore, #, *, &, %.

[0032] like Figure 2As shown, the dimensions in the product ID definition steps include product name, product type, system type, and device type, but are not limited to these. Specific dimensions can be adjusted as needed. For example, users can create a product interface, input the product name, product type, system type, and device type, as well as the product manager and product description, and then click the "Add" button. The system will then generate a string with delimiters based on the input product name, product type, system type, and device type in a predetermined order. This string is the product ID of the software product. For example, if the user inputs the product name as the brand name "Toptech", the system type as "Android", the product type as the chip model "MTK6681", the device type as the chip version "9.0", and the software type as "Launcher", and the system's default delimiter is a space, the generated string will be: Toptech Android MTK6681 9.0 Launcher.

[0033] The channel ID definition step involves providing a channel ID definition interface after the product ID definition step is completed, allowing users to input the channel name of the software product and generating the channel ID of the software product based on the channel name. In this step, when the user inputs the channel name of the software product, it is first determined whether the channel name is duplicated, and then the user is prompted to modify the channel name.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the channel ID definition step can be performed through the channel creation interface. The user inputs the channel name of the software product, and the channel ID of the software product is generated based on the channel name. The channel ID is a data string that is generated in an incrementing manner and is not repeated. Therefore, even if the products are different but the channels are the same, the channel IDs will be different, thus ensuring the uniqueness of the channel ID and making it less likely for errors to occur in the later OTA upgrade service.

[0035] During the development or upgrade preparation steps, after the channel ID definition step is completed, a save and trigger button is provided. In response to the user's click, the product ID and channel ID of the software product are saved and sent to the developers at the same time. This allows them to enter the software product code during development or to verify it during upgrades. The sending method can be email or process-based.

[0036] The OTA upgrade service steps provide a pre-defined list of product IDs and a list of channel IDs for selection, such as... Figure 4As shown, after the user selects the product ID and channel ID, an OTA upgrade service interface is provided for the user to select and upload the corresponding upgrade package. The package name of the upgrade package includes an ID verification code, which is automatically generated based on the product ID and channel ID. When the user selects and uploads the corresponding upgrade package, the OTA upgrade service steps also include verifying the ID verification code to determine whether it corresponds to the product ID and channel ID of this product. If the verification fails, an upload error message is displayed.

[0037] The upgrade rule definition steps are completed after the product ID definition step or the channel ID definition step, such as... Figure 5 As shown, an upgrade rule definition interface is provided, allowing users to input upgrade rules for the software product. The interface responds to user input and generates corresponding upgrade rules. The upgrade rules include whether to upgrade on a single device or all devices, as well as the device name, MAC address or IP address, and country of origin. Typically, during testing, one device can be selected for the upgrade first, and the device name and address can be entered. After the test passes, multiple devices or the entire device can be reconfigured for the official release of the upgrade package.

[0038] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides an apparatus corresponding to the method in Embodiment 1, as detailed in Embodiment 2.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] like Figure 6 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides an integrated management platform for software products based on dimension definition, including a product ID definition module, a channel ID definition module, a development or upgrade preparation module, and an OTA upgrade service module, and may also include an upgrade rule definition module.

[0041] The product ID definition module provides a product ID definition interface for users to select or create the required dimensions for the corresponding software product. It responds to user-inputted dimension values ​​and generates a string with delimiters according to the dimension values ​​in a predetermined order. This string is the product ID of the software product. When generating the string, it first checks if the string is duplicated. If duplicated, it prompts the user to modify any dimension value, thus ensuring the uniqueness of the product ID. The delimiter can be a space or any of the following: underscore, #, *, &, %.

[0042] like Figure 2As shown, the dimensions in the product ID definition steps include product name, product type, system type, and device type, but are not limited to these. Specific dimensions can be adjusted as needed. For example, users can create a product interface, input the product name, product type, system type, and device type, as well as the product manager and product description, and then click the "Add" button. The system will then generate a string with delimiters based on the input product name, product type, system type, and device type in a predetermined order. This string is the product ID of the software product. For example, if the user inputs the product name as the brand name "Toptech", the system type as "Android", the product type as the chip model "MTK6681", the device type as the chip version "9.0", and the software type as "Launcher", and the system's default delimiter is a space, the generated string will be: Toptech Android MTK6681 9.0 Launcher.

[0043] The channel ID definition module is used to provide a channel ID definition interface after the product ID definition step is completed, allowing the user to input the channel name of the software product and generate the channel ID of the software product based on the channel name. In this module, when the user inputs the channel name of the software product, it first determines whether the channel name is duplicated, and then prompts the user to modify the channel name.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, the channel ID definition step can be performed through the channel creation interface. The user inputs the channel name of the software product, and the channel ID of the software product is generated based on the channel name. The channel ID is a data string that is generated in an incrementing manner and is not repeated. Therefore, even if the products are different but the channels are the same, the channel IDs will be different, thus ensuring the uniqueness of the channel ID and making it less likely for errors to occur in the later OTA upgrade service.

[0045] The development or upgrade preparation module provides a save and trigger button after the channel ID definition step is completed. In response to the user's click, the product ID and channel ID of the software product are saved and sent to the developers at the same time, so that they can be entered into the code of the software product during development, or for verification during upgrade.

[0046] The OTA upgrade service module provides a predefined list of product IDs and channel IDs for selection, such as... Figure 4As shown, after the user selects the product ID and channel ID, an OTA upgrade service interface is provided for the user to select and upload the corresponding upgrade package. The package name of the upgrade package includes an ID verification code, which is automatically generated based on the product ID and channel ID. When the user selects and uploads the corresponding upgrade package, the OTA upgrade service steps also include verifying the ID verification code to determine whether it corresponds to the product ID and channel ID of this product. If the verification fails, an upload error message is displayed.

[0047] The upgrade rule definition module is used after the product ID definition step or the channel ID definition step is completed, such as... Figure 5 As shown, an upgrade rule definition interface is provided, allowing users to input upgrade rules for the software product. The interface responds to user input and generates corresponding upgrade rules. The upgrade rules include whether to upgrade on a single device or all devices, as well as the device name, MAC address or IP address, and country of origin. Typically, during testing, one device can be selected for the upgrade first, and the device name and address can be entered. After the test passes, multiple devices or the entire device can be reconfigured for the official release of the upgrade package.
