[0042] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0043] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a software updating method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the software update method applied to the mobile terminal includes the following steps:

[0044] Step S110, sending a verification instruction requesting a match to the first target vehicle computer;

[0045] Step S120, receiving a first verification code sent by the first target vehicle computer, where the first verification code is sent after the first target vehicle computer and the mobile terminal have been authenticated;

[0046] Step S130, uploading the first target installation package to the cloud server using the first verification code, and the cloud server is connected to the first target vehicle computer.

[0047] This embodiment directly uploads the first target installation package to the cloud server through the mobile terminal, and uses the cloud server to install the first target installation package. It does not need to be installed on the vehicle computer. After the first target installation package is installed on the cloud server, the vehicle computer can be used directly, thereby reducing the requirements for vehicle computer performance and reducing costs.

[0048] In this embodiment, the mobile terminal is the provider of the application and the sender of the instruction, and can be a mobile device such as a mobile phone, a computer or a tablet. The vehicle computer, the cloud server and the mobile terminal are interconnected, wherein the vehicle computer acts as a router to realize network sharing with the mobile terminal and the verification-free function with the cloud. The vehicle computer can directly use the application installed on the cloud server.

[0049] In this embodiment, in step S130, the permission information of the first target installation package is uploaded to the cloud server at the same time as the first target installation package is uploaded.

[0050] In this embodiment, the permission information of the first target installation package includes sharing information and target sharing object information used to characterize whether the first target installation package is shared. It can be understood that the mobile terminal can set the permission information of the first target installation package for the first target installation package uploaded by itself, such as whether to share. If not shared, the first target installation package can only be used by the car connected to the mobile terminal after it is installed on the cloud server. If shared, the mobile terminal can set the target sharing object information, such as whether to share all or partly. If shared all, all car machines connected to the cloud server can directly use the application of the first target installation package; if partially shared, the mobile terminal needs to set the target sharing object, such as all car machines within a preset distance nearby, the designated car machine VIN code or mobile phone number, etc., then the above-mentioned target sharing objects can directly use the application of the first target installation package after receiving the sharing. Here, all car machines can see the applications specified by friends for sharing, as well as the application list of other nearby car machines that have opened sharing. After accepting the sharing, they can be used on the cloud server without downloading and installing.

[0051] In this embodiment, the sharing information of the first target installation package can be set on the mobile terminal, so that the first target installation package can be shared. After other vehicle computers receive the sharing, they can use the application of the first target installation package on the cloud server without downloading the installation package, which is convenient to use.

[0052] In this embodiment, step S120 further includes the following steps:

[0053] A deletion instruction for deleting the second target installation package is sent to the cloud server using the first verification code, so that the cloud server deletes the second target installation package.

[0054] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the mobile terminal can not only upload the installation package, but also send a deletion instruction to the cloud server to delete the installation package. The cloud server is responsible for receiving the instructions transmitted by the mobile terminal to implement the installation, deletion and sharing of the application.

[0055] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a software updating method according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the software update method applied to the vehicle computer includes the following steps:

[0056] Step S210, verifying the mobile terminal after receiving the verification instruction sent by the mobile terminal;

[0057] Step S220: Send a first verification code to the mobile terminal after the verification is successful.

[0058] In this embodiment, the mobile terminal can request to obtain the first verification code by scanning a code or inputting an account number in the vehicle computer app. The vehicle computer performs verification after the mobile terminal scans the code or receives the account number input by the mobile terminal. After the verification is passed, the vehicle computer sends the first verification code to the mobile terminal. Here, the mobile terminal is connected to the vehicle computer via Bluetooth, a vehicle computer hotspot, etc.

[0059] In this embodiment, the following steps are also included:

[0060] The second verification code sent by the cloud server is periodically received to verify with the cloud server. The second verification code has a validity period. Here, the cloud server is connected to the vehicle computer through an interface. The cloud server will periodically send the second verification code to all vehicle computers for verification. This second verification code is dynamically generated. After the second verification code expires, the cloud server will resend a second verification code to the vehicle computer.

[0061] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a software updating method according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the software update method applied to the cloud server includes the following steps:

[0062] Step S310, receiving a first target installation package sent by a mobile terminal;

[0063] Step S320, verifying the first target installation package;

[0064] Step S330: installing the first target installation package after the first target installation package is successfully verified.

[0065] In this embodiment, step S320 specifically includes the following steps:

[0066] Step 1: Determine whether the first target installation package exists in the cloud server;

[0067] Step 2: If it exists, do not install the first target installation package.

[0068] It can be understood that if the first target installation package uploaded by the mobile terminal has been installed on the cloud server, the cloud server does not need to install it again, which can avoid repeated installation and save installation space.

[0069] In step S320, the first target installation package is verified by the whitelist, blacklist and preset security analysis method to check the security of the first target installation package. The first target installation package that passes the verification will be uniformly installed to the backend network disk in the cloud. After the first target installation package is installed, it can be used. The backend network disk automatically determines whether the first target installation package already exists based on MD5 (Message Digest Algorithm 5) mapping.

[0070] In this embodiment, in step S310, permission information of the first target installation package is received while receiving the first target installation package.

[0071] In this embodiment, after step S330, the following steps are further included:

[0072] The first target installation package is provided to the second target vehicle computer according to the permission information to share the first target installation package. In this embodiment, the application can be shared with other vehicle computers through the cloud server. Other vehicle computers do not need to download and can use the application as long as they accept the sharing, which is more convenient to use.

[0073] The backend network disk is also configured to provide some or all applications to other car computers through the permission information uploaded by the mobile terminal and the pre-configured application visibility logic of the cloud server, thereby realizing application sharing.
