Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of application development, and in particular to a method and system for implementing self-upgrade of devices with different system signatures using a single APP. Background Art

[0002] Currently, when developing APPs for devices from different manufacturers, because different manufacturers have different system signatures, in order to achieve self-upgrade of the application, program developers need to establish channels with different signatures, and each channel uses the system signature of the corresponding manufacturer's equipment.

[0003] The disadvantage of the above method is that when connecting to a large number of manufacturers' devices, a large number of channels need to be built, resulting in too many APP versions, and when upgrading the APP, the program developers are also required to use the system signatures of the corresponding manufacturer's devices to generate different upgrade packages, which makes the maintenance workload of the program developers huge. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method and system for realizing self-upgrade of devices with different system signatures by a single APP. Program developers only need to provide a single APP to enable different manufacturers to use it and realize application self-upgrade.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for implementing self-upgrade of devices with different system signatures using a single APP, comprising:

[0006] Step 10: Configure the target application to obtain the signature information of the current APP when the APP calls the self-upgrade interface, and then upload it to the server through the self-upgrade interface;

[0007] Step 20: Generate an APP version with different system signatures from the configured target application through a re-signing command;

[0008] Step 30: On the upgrade management platform provided by the server, when configuring the APP upgrade package, multiple APP versions are allowed to be configured, and the signature information of the APP needs to be obtained when the server upgrade interface is called;

[0009] Step 40: When the upgraded version of the target application is obtained, the upgraded target application is again generated into an upgraded version of the APP with a different system signature through a re-signing command, and uploaded to the server;

[0010] Step 50: When the APP calls the self-upgrade interface, the signature information of the current APP is obtained, and then uploaded to the server through the self-upgrade interface; the server automatically matches and sends the corresponding signed APP upgrade version according to the reported APP signature information.

[0011] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a self-upgrade system for devices with different system signatures using a single APP, including:

[0012] The program configuration module is used to configure the target application to obtain the signature information of the current APP when the APP calls the self-upgrade interface, and then upload it to the server through the self-upgrade interface;

[0013] The initial APP signature module is used to generate APP versions with different system signatures from the configured target application through the re-signing command;

[0014] The server configuration module is used to configure the APP upgrade package on the upgrade management platform provided by the server. It allows multiple APP versions to be configured, and the signature information of the APP needs to be obtained when the server upgrade interface is called;

[0015] The APP signature upgrade module is used to generate an APP upgrade version with a different system signature from the upgraded target application through a re-signing command when the upgraded version of the target application is obtained, and upload it to the server;

[0016] The self-upgrade module is used to obtain the signature information of the current APP when the APP calls the self-upgrade interface, and then upload it to the server through the self-upgrade interface; the server automatically matches and sends the corresponding signed APP upgrade version based on the reported APP signature information.

[0017] The technical solution provided in the embodiments of the present invention has at least the following technical effects:

[0018] By configuring the target application to obtain the signature information of the current APP when the APP calls the self-upgrade interface, and then uploading it to the server through the self-upgrade interface, on the upgrade management platform provided by the server, when configuring the APP upgrade package, it is allowed to configure multiple APP versions, and the signature information of the APP needs to be obtained when the server upgrade interface is called. Then the server automatically matches the signature information based on the reported APP signature information and sends the corresponding signed APP, so that program developers only need to provide a single APP to be used by different manufacturers and realize application self-upgrade, which greatly reduces the time and energy of program developers on maintenance.

[0019] The above description is only an overview of the technical solution of the present invention. In order to more clearly understand the technical means of the present invention, it can be implemented according to the contents of the specification. In order to make the above and other purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are listed below. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Figure 1 is a flow chart of the method in Embodiment 1 of the present invention;

[0022] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the device in the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0023] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS The embodiments of the present application provide a method and system for implementing self-upgrade of devices with different system signatures through a single APP. Program developers only need to provide a single APP to enable different manufacturers to use it and implement application self-upgrade.

[0024] Embodiment 1 Embodiment 1 provides a method for implementing self-upgrade of devices with different system signatures using a single APP, such as Figure 1 As shown, including:

[0025] Step 10: Configure the target application to obtain the signature information of the current APP when the APP calls the self-upgrade interface, and then upload it to the server through the self-upgrade interface;

[0026] Step 20: Generate an APP version with different system signatures from the configured target application through a re-signing command;

[0027] Step 30: On the upgrade management platform provided by the server, when configuring the APP upgrade package, multiple APP versions are allowed to be configured, and the signature information of the APP needs to be obtained when the server upgrade interface is called;

[0028] Step 40: When the upgraded version of the target application is obtained, the upgraded target application is again generated into an upgraded version of the APP with a different system signature through a re-signing command, and uploaded to the server;

[0029] Step 50: When the APP calls the self-upgrade interface, the signature information of the current APP is obtained, and then uploaded to the server through the self-upgrade interface; the server automatically matches and sends the corresponding signed APP upgrade version according to the reported APP signature information.

[0030] After the application is developed and the configuration in step 10 is performed, the developer only needs to provide the single application to the project staff or equipment manufacturer, etc., and they will sign the application. The developer only needs to develop an upgraded version of the application according to the needs, and there is no need for the developer to maintain the APP version through multiple channels, which greatly reduces the time and energy of the developer on maintenance.

[0031] Preferably, when the target application is generated into an APP version or APP upgrade version with different system signatures through a re-signing command, the upgrade IDs of the APP versions with different system signatures can be the same. However, in the prior art, the upgrade IDs must be different when generating APP versions with different system signatures, because the prior art matches the APP upgrade version with the corresponding system signature based on the upgrade ID. After the program developer develops a single application, the project staff only needs to establish an upgrade ID and then perform the signing operation to generate APP versions with different system signatures.

[0032] When the APP calls the self-upgrade interface, it reports the upgrade ID and the signature information of the current APP to the server. The signature information of the current APP can be the value calculated by the hash algorithm of the system signature (such as MD5 value). The server automatically matches and sends the corresponding signed APP upgrade version according to the upgrade ID and the APP signature.

[0033] Based on the same inventive concept, the present application also provides a device corresponding to the method in Example 1, see Example 2 for details.

[0034] Embodiment 2 In this embodiment, a single APP is provided to realize a self-upgrade system of devices with different system signatures, such as Figure 2 As shown, including:

[0035] The program configuration module is used to configure the target application to obtain the signature information of the current APP when the APP calls the self-upgrade interface, and then upload it to the server through the self-upgrade interface;

[0036] The initial APP signature module is used to generate APP versions with different system signatures from the configured target application through the re-signing command;

[0037] The server configuration module is used to configure the APP upgrade package on the upgrade management platform provided by the server. It allows multiple APP versions to be configured, and the signature information of the APP needs to be obtained when the server upgrade interface is called;

[0038] The APP signature upgrade module is used to generate an APP upgrade version with a different system signature from the upgraded target application through a re-signing command when the upgraded version of the target application is obtained, and upload it to the server;

[0039] The self-upgrade module is used to obtain the signature information of the current APP when the APP calls the self-upgrade interface, and then upload it to the server through the self-upgrade interface; the server automatically matches and sends the corresponding signed APP upgrade version based on the reported APP signature information.

[0040] Preferably, in the initial APP signature module and the upgraded APP signature module, when the target application is generated into an APP version or an APP upgraded version with different system signatures through a re-signing command, the upgrade ID is the same.

[0041] Specifically, in the self-upgrade module, when the APP calls the self-upgrade interface, the upgrade ID and the signature information of the current APP are reported to the server.

Then, the server automatically matches the signature information according to the reported APP signature information and sends the corresponding signed APP, so that the program developer only needs to provide a single APP, which can be used by different manufacturers and realize application self-upgrade, which greatly reduces the time and energy of the program developer on maintenance.
