Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of terminal technology, and in particular to an update method, a readable medium, a program product, and an electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of Bluetooth technology, more and more Bluetooth accessories can connect to host electronic devices, such as Bluetooth headsets, styluses, and keyboards that can connect to tablets or mobile phones. Typically, Bluetooth accessories cannot directly connect to the corresponding server to update software or firmware. Instead, the accessory needs to be connected to the host electronic device, and the user must update it through the respective update portal on the host device. However, since different Bluetooth accessories usually have different update portals, when a user has multiple Bluetooth accessories, they need to update the software or firmware of each accessory separately through different update portals on the host electronic device. This process is cumbersome and results in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide an update method, a readable medium, a program product, and an electronic device. By providing a unified update entry point for Bluetooth accessory devices connected to the electronic device, the electronic device allows users to update the software and / or firmware of all Bluetooth accessory devices connected to the electronic device through a single update interface, which is convenient and improves the user experience.

[0037] Embodiments of this application include, but are not limited to, an update method, a readable medium, a program product, and an electronic device.

[0038] The specific solutions of the embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] It is understood that the main electronic device can be any electronic device that can connect to a Bluetooth accessory device via Bluetooth and obtain the software or firmware of the Bluetooth accessory device from a server, including but not limited to mobile phones, tablets, printers, etc. For ease of description, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are described below using a tablet computer 100 as the main electronic device.

[0040] It is understood that Bluetooth accessory devices are any electronic devices that can connect to a host electronic device and update the software or firmware in the Bluetooth accessory device through the host electronic device, including but not limited to mobile phones, tablets, headphones, styluses, keyboards, smart home devices (such as smart TVs, smart speakers, and air purifiers), and Internet of Things devices (such as smart switches and sockets).

[0041] It is understood that the content updated by the main electronic device for the Bluetooth accessory device may include, but is not limited to, the operating system, applications, drivers, firmware, etc. of the Bluetooth accessory device. The following will take the firmware update of the Bluetooth accessory device by the main electronic device as an example.

[0042] As mentioned above, in some embodiments, users can update the software or firmware of various Bluetooth accessory devices by operating through the update entry corresponding to different Bluetooth accessory devices in the main electronic device. This operation is cumbersome and affects the user experience.

[0043] For example, such as Figure 1A As shown, when updating the firmware of the stylus 01, the user can first click the settings icon 101 on the home screen of the tablet 100, and then enter the settings menu. Figure 1B The settings interface shown is accessible by clicking the "Accessibility" option 102. Figure 2 The "Accessibility" interface is shown; then, in the Accessibility interface, click the "Stylus" option 201 to enter the following... Figure 3 The product information interface shown; then, by clicking the "Firmware Update" option 301 on the product information interface, you can enter the following... Figure 4 The image shows the firmware update interface for stylus 01. If tablet 100 obtains a new firmware version for stylus 01, it will display the version number of the new version, such as... Figure 4As shown, the tablet 100 can display the new version number of the stylus 01 as "1.0.0.58". Users can update the firmware of the stylus 01 by clicking option 401. It's understandable that if the tablet 100 does not have a new firmware version for the stylus 01, it can display "Already the latest version," and therefore does not need to update the firmware of the stylus 01.

[0044] For example, when a user updates the firmware of the Bluetooth headset 02, they can... Figure 1B In the settings interface shown, click the "Bluetooth" option 103 to enter... Figure 5 The Bluetooth interface shown; then, by clicking the settings option 501 for Bluetooth headset 02 in the Bluetooth interface, you can enter the settings menu as shown. Figure 6 The settings interface of Bluetooth headset 02 is shown below; then, in the settings interface of Bluetooth headset 02, click the "Firmware Update" option 601 to enter the settings as shown below. Figure 7 The image shows the firmware update interface for Bluetooth headset 02. If tablet 100 obtains a new firmware version for Bluetooth headset 02, it can display the new version number, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the tablet 100 can display the new version number of the Bluetooth headset 02 as "6.0.0.69(T02)". Users can update the firmware of the Bluetooth headset 02 by clicking option 701. It's understandable that if the tablet 100 does not have a new firmware version for the Bluetooth headset 02, it can display "Already the latest version," and therefore, no firmware update for the Bluetooth headset 02 is required.

[0045] For example, when a user updates the firmware of the Bluetooth keyboard 03, they can... Figure 1B In the settings interface shown, click the "Bluetooth" option 103 to enter the settings as follows. Figure 5 The Bluetooth interface shown; then, by clicking the settings option 502 on the Bluetooth keyboard 03 within the Bluetooth interface, you can enter the settings menu as shown. Figure 8 The Bluetooth keyboard 03 settings interface is shown below; then, in the Bluetooth keyboard 03 settings interface, click the "Firmware Update" option 801 to enter the settings interface as shown below. Figure 9 The image shows the firmware update interface for Bluetooth Keyboard 03. If Tablet 100 obtains a new firmware version for Bluetooth Keyboard 03, it can display the new version number, such as... Figure 9 As shown, tablet 100 can display the new version number of Bluetooth keyboard 03 as "2.0.0.66". Users can update the firmware of Bluetooth keyboard 03 by clicking option 901. It's understandable that if tablet 100 does not have a new firmware version for Bluetooth keyboard 03, it can display "Already the latest version," and therefore does not need to update the firmware of Bluetooth keyboard 03.

[0046] In the above operation, when users update the firmware of different Bluetooth accessory devices on the tablet 100, they need to find the update entry of each Bluetooth accessory device before updating, which is cumbersome and affects the user experience.

[0047] In view of this, this application provides an update method. The main electronic device can store connection information of Bluetooth accessory devices that have historically connected to the main electronic device (hereinafter referred to as historical connection information) and provide a unified update entry point (e.g., the main electronic device's software update entry point) for Bluetooth accessory devices connected to the main electronic device. When the main electronic device detects that a user has entered this unified update entry point, it obtains the device information of the Bluetooth accessory devices already connected to the main electronic device based on the historical connection information. Based on the obtained device information, it retrieves the update information of each Bluetooth accessory device connected to the main electronic device from the server and displays it on the update interface. Thus, the user can update the software or firmware of each Bluetooth accessory device through the aforementioned update interface without needing to update the software or firmware of the corresponding Bluetooth accessory device through the corresponding update entry point, which is convenient and improves the user experience.

[0048] It is understood that historical connection information may include connection information of Bluetooth accessory devices (hereinafter referred to as historical connected devices) that have historically connected to the main electronic device, including but not limited to device type, Media Access Control Address (MAC address), etc.

[0049] It is understood that the device information of Bluetooth accessory devices may include device identifiers used to identify the Bluetooth accessory device, such as the type, model, and serial number of the Bluetooth accessory device, as well as the software or firmware version information of the Bluetooth accessory device.

[0050] It is understandable that the update information may include the version information of the new software or firmware of each Bluetooth accessory device.

[0051] It is understood that the aforementioned server can be any server capable of providing software or firmware updates for Bluetooth accessory devices, such as a server provided by the developer of the Bluetooth accessory device to update the software or firmware of the Bluetooth accessory device for users, or a server provided by the main electronic device to provide software or firmware updates for various Bluetooth accessory devices, etc., without any limitation.

[0052] For example, in some embodiments, this unified update entry point can be located in the "System and Updates" option of the main electronic device. Figure 10 As shown, users can access the following by first clicking the "System and Updates" option (1001). Figure 11AThe "System and Updates" interface of the tablet computer 100 is shown. After detecting a user's operation on the "Software Update" option 1101, the tablet computer 100 obtains the device information of the Bluetooth accessory devices connected to the tablet computer 100 based on historical connection information, such as the aforementioned stylus 01, Bluetooth headset 02, and Bluetooth keyboard 03. Based on the obtained device information of the Bluetooth accessory devices, it retrieves the update information of the Bluetooth accessory devices from the server and displays the update information. Figure 11B The "Software Update" interface shown prompts the user that a new firmware version of the Bluetooth accessory device is available for update.

[0053] Specifically, such as Figure 11B As shown, the "Software Update" interface can include the current firmware version information for Bluetooth accessory devices and tablet 100, as well as update information for devices with new firmware versions. (Reference) Figure 11B If the tablet computer 100 obtains a new firmware version for the stylus 01, it can display the "Update Now" option 1111 and the new firmware version number "1.0.0.58". If the tablet computer 100 detects that the user clicks the "Update Now" option 1111, it will update the firmware version of the stylus 01. If the tablet computer 100 obtains a new firmware version for the Bluetooth headset 02, it can display the "Update Now" option 1112 and the new firmware version number "6.0.0.69(T02)". If the tablet computer 100 detects that the user clicks the "Update Now" option 1112, it will update the firmware version of the Bluetooth headset 02. If the tablet computer 100 obtains a new firmware version for the Bluetooth keyboard 03, it can display the "Update Now" option 1113 and the new firmware version number "2.0.0.66". If the tablet computer 100 detects that the user clicks the "Update Now" option 1113, it will update the firmware version of the Bluetooth keyboard 03.

[0054] It is understandable that if the tablet 100 does not obtain the latest firmware version information of the Bluetooth accessory device connected to the tablet 100, it can only display the current firmware version information of the Bluetooth accessory device. For example, refer to Figure 11B The mobile phone 200 is connected to the tablet computer 100 via Bluetooth, but the tablet computer 100 does not detect the new firmware version of the mobile phone 200, and only displays the version information of the current firmware version of the mobile phone 200, namely the version number "9.0.1.129".

[0055] The method provided in this application allows users to update the firmware of various Bluetooth accessory devices through the "Software Update" entry on the tablet computer 100, without having to search for different update entries for different Bluetooth accessory devices on the tablet computer 100. This simplifies the operation and improves the user experience.

[0056] To facilitate understanding of the technical solution of this application, the software architecture of the tablet computer 100 is described below.

[0057] Specifically, Figure 12 According to some embodiments of this application, a schematic diagram of the software architecture of a tablet computer 100 is shown.

[0058] A layered architecture divides software into several layers, each with a clear role and function. Layers communicate with each other through software interfaces. In some embodiments, the operating system can be divided into four layers, from top to bottom: application layer 1210, application framework layer 1220, system library 1230, and kernel layer 1240.

[0059] Application layer 1210 may include a series of application packages. Application packages may include applications such as camera, gallery, calendar, phone, messaging, contacts, weather, browser, music, and video.

[0060] It is understood that, in some embodiments, the software update application 30 corresponding to the aforementioned "software update" option 1101 may be located in the application layer 1210. This software update application 30 can be used to accept and store connection information of Bluetooth accessory devices as historical connection information, and, upon detecting that a user has clicked the "software update" option 1101, to obtain and display update information of the Bluetooth accessory devices already connected to the tablet computer 100 based on this historical connection information.

[0061] Application framework layer 1220 provides an application programming interface (API) and programming framework for the applications of application layer 1210. Application framework layer 1220 includes some predefined functions.

[0062] like Figure 12 As shown, the application framework layer 1220 may include a window manager, a content provider, a view system, a phone manager, a resource manager, a notification manager, etc. The window manager is used to manage window programs. The window manager can obtain the screen size, determine if a status bar is present, lock the screen, and capture the screen, etc. The content provider is used to store and retrieve data, making this data accessible to applications. The data may include video, images, audio, made and received phone calls, browsing history and bookmarks, phone books, etc. The view system includes visual controls, such as controls for displaying text, controls for displaying images, etc. The view system can be used to build applications. The display interface may consist of one or more views.

[0063] It is understood that the services corresponding to the aforementioned Bluetooth accessory devices can be set in the application framework layer 1220. For example, the PencilManager service 40 corresponding to the stylus 01 can be used to pass the connection information and device information of the stylus 01 to the software update application 30; the IConnect service 50 corresponding to the Bluetooth headset 02 can be used to pass the connection information and device information of the Bluetooth headset 02 to the software update application 30; and the PencilManager service 40 corresponding to the Bluetooth keyboard 03 can be used to pass the connection information and device information of the Bluetooth headset 03 to the software update application 30.

[0064] System layer 1230 may include multiple functional modules. For example, a surface manager, media libraries, 3D graphics processing libraries (such as OpenGL ES), a 2D graphics engine (such as SGL), and the Android runtime.

[0065] The Surface Manager manages the display subsystem and provides fusion of 2D and 3D layers for multiple applications. The Media Library supports playback and recording of various common audio and video formats, as well as still image files. The Media Library supports multiple audio and video encoding formats, such as MPEG4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, and PNG. The 3D Graphics Processing Library implements 3D graphics drawing, image rendering, compositing, and layer processing. The 2D Graphics Engine is the drawing engine for 2D graphics.

[0066] The Android runtime includes a core library and a virtual machine. The core library consists of two parts: functions that the Java language needs to call, and the core libraries of the operating system. The application layer 1210 and the application framework layer 1220 run within the virtual machine. The virtual machine executes the Java files of the application layer 1210 and the application framework layer 1220 as binary files. The virtual machine is used to perform functions such as object lifecycle management, stack management, thread management, security and exception management, and garbage collection. The kernel layer 1240 is the layer between hardware and software. The kernel layer 1240 includes at least a display driver, camera driver, audio driver, Bluetooth driver, and software applications. In some embodiments, the Bluetooth driver can be used to drive the Bluetooth hardware of the tablet computer 100 to establish a Bluetooth connection with other electronic devices and perform data transmission based on that Bluetooth connection.

[0067] Understandable. Figure 12 The software architecture of the tablet computer 100 shown is only an example. In other embodiments, the software architecture of the tablet computer 100 may include more or fewer modules, may split or merge some modules, or may adopt other architectures, which are not limited here.

[0068] To facilitate understanding, the following will be combined with Figure 12 The software architecture of the tablet computer 100 is shown, and the technical solution for storing Bluetooth accessory device connection information in the tablet computer 100 is introduced.

[0069] Specifically, Figure 13 According to some embodiments of this application, a flowchart is shown of a software update application 30 receiving and storing connection information of a Bluetooth accessory device, the flowchart including the following steps.

[0070] S1301: Bluetooth accessory devices and tablet computer 100 establish Bluetooth connection.

[0071] It is understood that in some embodiments, after the Bluetooth accessory device and the tablet computer 100 establish a Bluetooth connection, the Bluetooth accessory device can send connection information to the tablet computer 100 so that the Bluetooth accessory device can re-establish a connection with the tablet computer 100.

[0072] S1302: Bluetooth device service 20 initiates the service corresponding to software update application 30.

[0073] After the Bluetooth accessory device establishes a Bluetooth connection with the tablet computer 100, the Bluetooth device service 20 corresponding to the Bluetooth accessory device can initiate the service corresponding to the software update application 30.

[0074] For example, if the Bluetooth accessory device is the aforementioned stylus 01, the Bluetooth device service 20 can be PencilManager 40, which will launch the service corresponding to the software update application 30.

[0075] For example, if the Bluetooth accessory device is the aforementioned Bluetooth headset 02, the Bluetooth device service 20 can be IConnect 50, which initiates the service corresponding to the software update application 30.

[0076] For example, in the case of the Bluetooth accessory device being the aforementioned Bluetooth keyboard 03, the Bluetooth device service 20 can be PencilManager 40, which initiates the service corresponding to the software update application 30.

[0077] S1303: Software update application 30 and Bluetooth device service 20 establish a communication connection channel.

[0078] The software update application 30 and the Bluetooth device service 20 establish a communication connection channel so that the software update application 30 can send a command to the Bluetooth device service 20 to obtain Bluetooth accessory device connection information.

[0079] For example, when the Bluetooth accessory device is the aforementioned stylus 01, the software update application 30 can establish a communication connection channel with the PencilManager service 40 corresponding to the stylus 01.

[0080] For example, when the Bluetooth accessory device is the aforementioned Bluetooth headset 02, the software update application 30 can establish a communication connection channel with the IConnect service 50 corresponding to the Bluetooth headset 02.

[0081] For example, when the Bluetooth accessory device is the aforementioned Bluetooth keyboard 03, the software update application 30 can establish a communication connection channel with the PencilManager service 40 corresponding to the Bluetooth keyboard 03.

[0082] S1304: Software update application 30 sends a command to Bluetooth device service 20 to obtain connection information of Bluetooth accessory devices.

[0083] The software update application 30 sends a command to the Bluetooth device service 20 to obtain the connection information of the Bluetooth accessory device, wherein the connection information may include information such as the MAC address and device type of the Bluetooth accessory device.

[0084] For example, if the Bluetooth accessory device is the aforementioned stylus 01, the software update application 30 can send a command to the PencilManager service 40 corresponding to the stylus 01 to obtain the connection information of the stylus 01.

[0085] For example, when the Bluetooth accessory device is the aforementioned Bluetooth headset 02, the software update application 30 can send a command to the IConnect service 50 corresponding to the Bluetooth headset 02 to obtain the connection information of the Bluetooth headset 02.

[0086] For example, if the Bluetooth accessory device is the aforementioned Bluetooth keyboard 03, the software update application 30 can send a command to the PencilManager service 40 corresponding to the Bluetooth keyboard 03 to obtain the connection information of the Bluetooth keyboard 03.

[0087] S1305: Bluetooth Device Service 20 forwards a command to the Bluetooth accessory device to obtain connection information of the Bluetooth accessory device.

[0088] Bluetooth Device Service 20 forwards the instruction received from Software Update Application 30 to obtain Bluetooth accessory device connection information to the Bluetooth accessory device.

[0089] For example, when the Bluetooth accessory device is the aforementioned stylus 01, the PencilManager service 40 corresponding to stylus 01 forwards an instruction to stylus 01 to obtain the connection information of stylus 01.

[0090] For example, when the Bluetooth accessory device is the aforementioned Bluetooth headset 02, the IConnect service 50 corresponding to the Bluetooth headset 02 forwards an instruction to the Bluetooth headset 02 to obtain the connection information of the Bluetooth headset 02.

[0091] For example, when the Bluetooth accessory device is the aforementioned Bluetooth keyboard 03, the PencilManager service 40 corresponding to the Bluetooth keyboard 03 forwards an instruction to the Bluetooth keyboard 03 to obtain the connection information of the Bluetooth keyboard 03.

[0092] S1306: The Bluetooth accessory device sends connection information to the Bluetooth device service 20.

[0093] After receiving the instruction to obtain Bluetooth accessory device connection information forwarded by Bluetooth Device Service 20, the Bluetooth accessory device sends the Bluetooth accessory device connection information to Bluetooth Device Service 20.

[0094] It is understandable that the connection information includes the MAC address and device type of the Bluetooth accessory.

[0095] For example, if the Bluetooth accessory device is the aforementioned stylus 01, the stylus 01 sends its connection information to the corresponding PencilManager service 40.

[0096] For example, when the Bluetooth accessory device is the aforementioned Bluetooth headset 02, the Bluetooth headset 02 sends its connection information to the corresponding IConnect service 50.

[0097] For example, when the Bluetooth accessory device is the aforementioned Bluetooth keyboard 03, the Bluetooth keyboard 03 sends its connection information to the corresponding PencilManager service 40.

[0098] S1307: Bluetooth Device Service 20 transmits connection information of Bluetooth accessory devices to software update application 30.

[0099] Bluetooth Device Service 20 transmits the connection information received from Bluetooth accessory devices to Software Update Application 30.

[0100] For example, when the Bluetooth accessory device is the aforementioned stylus 01, the PencilManager service 40 corresponding to the stylus 01 transmits the connection information of the stylus 01 to the software update application 30.

[0101] For example, when the Bluetooth accessory device is the aforementioned Bluetooth headset 02, the IConnect service 50 corresponding to the Bluetooth headset 02 transmits the connection information of the Bluetooth headset 02 to the software update application 30.

[0102] For example, when the Bluetooth accessory device is the aforementioned Bluetooth keyboard 03, the PencilManager service 40 corresponding to the Bluetooth keyboard 03 transmits the connection information of the Bluetooth keyboard 03 to the software update application 30.

[0103] S1308: Software update application 30 receives and stores connection information of Bluetooth accessory devices.

[0104] The software update application 30 stores the connection information (including MAC address and device type) of the received Bluetooth accessory devices in the historical connection information.

[0105] It is understood that in other embodiments, the software update application 30 may also obtain and store historical connection information in other ways, which is not limited here.

[0106] It is understandable that after the tablet computer 100 stores the connection information of Bluetooth accessory devices that have previously connected to the tablet computer 100 as historical connection information, it can obtain the device information of the Bluetooth accessory devices that have been connected to the tablet computer 100 based on the historical connection information after detecting the user's operation through the aforementioned unified update entry. Based on the obtained device information of the Bluetooth accessory devices, it can obtain the update information of each Bluetooth accessory device that has been connected to the tablet computer 100 from the server and display it on the update interface.

[0107] Specifically, Figure 14 The present invention provides a schematic flowchart of an update method according to some embodiments thereof, the process comprising the following steps.

[0108] S1401: Software update application 30 detected a user's operation on the update entry.

[0109] After detecting a user's operation on the update entry, the software update application 30 triggers the update method provided in this application embodiment.

[0110] For example, refer to Figure 11A The update entry point can be the "Software Update" option 1101. After the software update application 30 detects that the user clicks the "Software Update" option 1101, it triggers the update method provided in this application.

[0111] S1402: Software update application 30 retrieves historical connection information.

[0112] The software update application 30 obtains stored historical connection information, including the device type, MAC address, etc. of Bluetooth accessory devices that have previously connected to the tablet 100.

[0113] S1403: The software update application 30 sends a command to the corresponding Bluetooth device service 20 to establish a connection with the historical connected device of the current Bluetooth accessory device based on the connection information of the current historical connected device.

[0114] The software update application 30 selects a Bluetooth accessory device from the historical connection information as the current historical connection device, and sends a command to the corresponding Bluetooth device service 20 to establish a connection with the current historical connection device.

[0115] It is understandable that "current historical connected devices" refers to the Bluetooth accessory devices that the software update application 30 is currently attempting to connect to.

[0116] For example, when the currently connected device is the aforementioned stylus 01, the software update application 30 sends a command to the corresponding PencilManager service 40 to establish a connection with the stylus 01 based on the connection information of the stylus 01.

[0117] For example, when the currently connected device is the aforementioned Bluetooth headset 02, the software update application 30 sends a command to the corresponding IConnect service 50 to establish a connection with the Bluetooth headset 02 based on the connection information of the Bluetooth headset 02.

[0118] For example, when the currently connected device is the aforementioned Bluetooth keyboard 03, the software update application 30 sends a command to the corresponding PencilManager service 40 to establish a connection with the Bluetooth keyboard 03 based on the connection information of the Bluetooth keyboard 03.

[0119] S1404: Bluetooth Device Service 20 sends a command to the currently connected historical device to obtain the device information of the currently connected historical device based on the connection command.

[0120] Bluetooth Device Service 20 sends a command to the currently connected historical device to obtain the device information of the currently connected historical device based on the connection command sent by the software update application 30.

[0121] For example, Bluetooth Device Service 20 can send a command to the MAC address of the currently connected historical device to obtain device information of the currently connected historical device.

[0122] For example, when the currently connected device is the aforementioned stylus 01, the PencilManager service 40 corresponding to stylus 01 sends an instruction to stylus 01 to obtain the device information of stylus 01 based on the connection instruction.

[0123] For example, when the currently connected device is the aforementioned Bluetooth headset 02, the IConnect service 50 corresponding to the Bluetooth headset 02 sends a command to the Bluetooth headset 02 to obtain the device information of the Bluetooth headset 02 based on the connection command.

[0124] For example, when the currently connected device is the aforementioned Bluetooth keyboard 03, the PencilManager service 40 corresponding to Bluetooth keyboard 03 sends a command to Bluetooth keyboard 03 to obtain the device information of Bluetooth keyboard 03 based on the connection command.

[0125] S1405: The currently connected device sends its device information to the Bluetooth device service 20.

[0126] If the currently connected historical device is already connected to the tablet 100, the device information of the currently connected historical device can be sent to the Bluetooth device service 20 in response to the received instruction.

[0127] For example, when the currently connected device is stylus 01, stylus 01 sends its device information to the corresponding PencilManager service 40.

[0128] For example, when the currently connected device is Bluetooth headset 02, Bluetooth headset 02 sends its device information to the corresponding IConnect service 50.

[0129] For example, when the currently connected device is Bluetooth Keyboard 03, Bluetooth Keyboard 03 sends its device information to the corresponding PencilManager service 40.

[0130] It is understandable that the device information of the currently connected devices may include: the device type and MAC address of the Bluetooth accessory device.

[0131] S1406: Bluetooth Device Service 20 forwards the received device information of currently connected historical devices to Software Update Application 30.

[0132] For example, when the currently connected historical device is stylus 01, the PencilManager service 40 corresponding to stylus 01 forwards the device information of stylus 01 to the software update application 30.

[0133] For example, when the current historical connected device is Bluetooth headset 02, the IConnect service 50 corresponding to Bluetooth headset 02 forwards the device information of Bluetooth headset 02 to the software update application 30.

[0134] For example, when the currently connected device is Bluetooth keyboard 03, the PencilManager service 40 corresponding to Bluetooth keyboard 03 forwards the device information of Bluetooth keyboard 03 to the software update application 30.

[0135] S1407: Software update application 30 determines whether it has received device information of currently connected historical devices.

[0136] If the software update application 30 receives device information of the currently connected historical device, it means that the currently connected historical device has been connected to the tablet computer 100, and proceeds to step S1408; otherwise, if the software update application 30 does not receive device information of the currently connected historical device, it means that the currently connected historical device has not been connected to the tablet computer 100, and proceeds to step S1409.

[0137] S1408: Software update application 30 acquires and stores update information for currently connected historical devices.

[0138] Based on the received device information, such as the device type, model, and software / firmware version information of the currently connected historical device, the software update application 30 queries the corresponding server for the new version of the firmware or software of the currently connected historical device. If the new version of the firmware or software of the currently connected historical device is found, the update information of the currently connected historical device is stored.

[0139] S1409: Software update application 30 determines whether a connection has been attempted with all historically connected devices.

[0140] If yes, it indicates that the software update application 30 has attempted to establish a connection with all previously connected Bluetooth accessory devices, and proceeds to step S1411; otherwise, it indicates that the software update application 30 has not yet attempted to establish a connection with all previously connected Bluetooth accessory devices, and proceeds to step S1410.

[0141] S1410: Software update application 30 attempts to establish a connection with the next historically connected device.

[0142] If the software update application 30 determines that it has not yet tried to establish a connection with all historical connected devices, it selects a historical connected device that has not yet been tried as the current historical connected device, and proceeds to step S1403 to try to establish a connection with the selected current historical connected device.

[0143] S1411: Software update application 30 displays update information for each historically connected device corresponding to the received device information.

[0144] When the software update application 30 determines that it has already attempted to connect to all previously connected devices, it displays update information for each Bluetooth accessory device corresponding to the received device information. For example, refer to the aforementioned... Figure 11B The software update interface on the tablet 100 displays update information for devices such as the stylus 01, Bluetooth headset 02, and Bluetooth keyboard 03. The tablet 100 can update the firmware version of each Bluetooth accessory device when it detects a user's "Update Now" option selection. For details, please refer to the aforementioned documentation. Figure 11BThe relevant descriptions will not be repeated here.

[0145] The method provided in this application embodiment allows the tablet computer 100 to detect when a user enters the unified update portal. Based on historical connection information, it obtains device information of Bluetooth accessory devices already connected to the tablet computer 100. Then, based on this device information, it retrieves update information for each Bluetooth accessory device connected to the tablet computer 100 from the server and displays it on the update interface. This allows users to update the software or firmware of each Bluetooth accessory device directly through the update interface, without needing to access the individual update portals for each device. This convenient operation enhances the user experience.

[0146] exist Figure 14 In the illustrated embodiment, the software update application 30 sequentially attempts to establish connections with currently connected historical devices until it attempts to establish connections with all currently connected historical devices. In other embodiments, the software update application 30 may also send instructions to the services corresponding to each Bluetooth accessory device in the historical connection information to obtain device information all at once.

[0147] Specifically, Figure 15 This is a flowchart illustrating another update method according to some embodiments of this application. Figure 15 As shown, the flowchart includes steps S1501 to S1508. Steps S1501 to S1502 can be referred to in the description of steps S1401 to S1402 above, and steps S1505 to S1506 can be referred to in the description of steps S1405 to S1406 above, and will not be repeated here. The following describes steps different from... Figure 14 Steps S1503 to S1504 and steps S1507 to S1508 of the illustrated embodiment are described.

[0148] 1503: The software update application 30 sends a command to the Bluetooth device service 20 corresponding to each historically connected device in the historical connection information to establish a connection with each historically connected device.

[0149] After obtaining the historical connection information of the historical connected devices, the software update application 30 sends a command to the Bluetooth device service 20 corresponding to all historical connected devices to establish a connection with each historical connected device.

[0150] Specifically, the Bluetooth device service 20 corresponding to each historically connected device can be referred to the relevant description of step S1403 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0151] S1504: Bluetooth Device Service 20 sends a command to the corresponding Bluetooth accessory device to obtain device information of historically connected devices based on the connection command.

[0152] After receiving the connection command from the software update application 30, the Bluetooth device service 20 sends a command to the corresponding Bluetooth accessory device to obtain device information of historically connected devices.

[0153] Specifically, the Bluetooth device service 20 corresponding to each historically connected device can be referred to the relevant description of step S1404 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0154] S1507: Software update application 30 determines whether device information has been received.

[0155] If so, the software update application 30 receives device information from the Bluetooth accessory device, indicating that there is a Bluetooth accessory device already connected to the tablet computer 100, and proceeds to step S1508; otherwise, the software update application 30 does not receive device information from the Bluetooth accessory device, indicating that there is no Bluetooth accessory device already connected to the tablet computer 100, and the current operation ends.

[0156] S1508: Software update application 30 obtains and displays the software version update information of each Bluetooth accessory device corresponding to the received device information.

[0157] The software update application 30 will display the software version update information for all Bluetooth accessory devices corresponding to the received device information. For example, refer to the aforementioned... Figure 11B The software update interface on the tablet 100 displays update information for devices such as the stylus 01, Bluetooth headset 02, and Bluetooth keyboard 03. The tablet 100 can update the firmware version of each Bluetooth accessory device when it detects a user's "Update Now" option selection. For details, please refer to the aforementioned documentation. Figure 11B The relevant descriptions will not be repeated here.

[0158] Based on the above method, users can update the software or firmware of each Bluetooth accessory device through the update interface, without having to update the software or firmware of each Bluetooth accessory device through the corresponding update entry. This is convenient and helps improve the user experience.

[0159] The following description uses a tablet computer 100 as an example to illustrate the hardware of the electronic device to which the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are applicable.

[0180] Camera 193 is used to capture still images or videos. An object is projected onto a photosensitive element by generating an optical image through the lens. The photosensitive element can be a charge-coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistor. The photosensitive element converts the light signal into an electrical signal, which is then passed to an ISP for conversion into a digital image signal. The ISP outputs the digital image signal to a DSP for processing. The DSP converts the digital image signal into image signals in standard RGB, YUV, or other formats. In some embodiments, the tablet computer 100 may include one or N cameras 193, where N is a positive integer greater than 1.

[0181] The external storage interface 120 can be used to connect an external storage card, such as a Micro SD card, to expand the storage capacity of the tablet computer 100.
