[0066] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0067] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application.

[0068] The embodiments of the present application provide a firmware upgrade method, apparatus, device and storage medium, which are applied to cloud devices. Based on the firmware upgrade method of the embodiments of the present application, it is possible to meet the upgrade requirements even if multiple firmware dependencies between different devices are different.

[0069] The cloud device of the embodiment of the present application can be a device that provides communication platform services based on a cloud computing business model; the electronic device can be a household appliance, especially an air-conditioning device; the terminal device can be a portable terminal device such as a smartphone, tablet computer, smart wearable device, etc. that has the function of running an application (Application, APP).

[0070] In the related art, the strategy for firmware upgrade of air-conditioning equipment is as follows: the electronic control of the air-conditioning equipment polls the wireless communication technology (WiFi) module for upgradeable versions of the display, main control, parameters and other firmware, and the WiFi module requests the cloud device whether there is a corresponding upgradeable version. When there is an upgradeable version, the WiFi module and the electronic control are notified, and the firmware with the upgradeable version can be downloaded and upgraded.

[0071] In the related art, if there are multiple firmware upgrade packages in the upgrade strategy, they need to be pulled and upgraded one by one. After waiting for a period of time (for example, 12 hours), the electronic control will initiate a round-robin command again to repeat the firmware upgrade process. This will cause the firmware upgrade order to be uncontrollable when multiple firmware upgrade packages need to be upgraded, and the user cannot complete the firmware upgrade and use the new functions in a short continuous period of time, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0072] In addition, when there are multiple firmwares that need to be upgraded, and the device upgrade sequence has dependencies, the solution in the related art is to set dependencies between the firmwares, but for different devices to share the same firmware upgrade package, such as Figure 1As shown in the figure, when different devices have different dependencies for multiple firmware upgrade packages, the upgrade requirements of different devices cannot be met. For example, the firmware upgrade dependency of air conditioner C is B firmware-C firmware-A firmware; the firmware upgrade dependency of air conditioner D is B firmware-A firmware. If the firmware sets the dependency, only one air conditioner can be upgraded, and other models cannot be upgraded.

[0073] In a first aspect, the present application provides a firmware upgrade method, which is applied to a cloud device, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0074] Step 201: Determine at least two firmwares to be upgraded corresponding to the electronic device according to version information of at least two firmwares in the electronic device.

[0075] It can be understood that the firmware upgrade method in the embodiment of the present application is applied to a cloud device, and the cloud device can receive query requests sent by at least one electronic device respectively; the query request includes at least version information of at least two firmware in the electronic device.

[0076] Exemplarily, the version information may be the current version information of each firmware in the electronic device, specifically, the version information of the firmware currently being used in the electronic device. According to the version information of at least two firmwares in the electronic device, at least two firmwares to be upgraded corresponding to the electronic device are determined, which may be to compare the first version information of the first firmware in the electronic device with the preset version information of the first firmware stored in the cloud device to obtain a comparison result; if the comparison result indicates that the first version information is inconsistent with the preset version information, the first firmware is determined to be the firmware to be upgraded; if the comparison result indicates that the first version information is consistent with the preset version information, the first firmware is determined not to be the firmware to be upgraded; the first firmware may be any one of the at least two firmwares.

[0077] In other embodiments, after the cloud device determines at least two firmwares to be upgraded corresponding to the electronic device, the cloud device sends download information of each of the at least two firmwares to be upgraded to the electronic device, wherein the download information may be an upgrade package of the firmware to be upgraded.

[0078] In other embodiments, after the cloud device sends the download information of the firmware to be upgraded to the electronic device, the cloud device receives the upgrade request sent by the electronic device and sends the upgrade request to the terminal device. The upgrade request can be a request generated by the electronic device according to the download information.

[0079] In other embodiments, after the cloud device sends the upgrade request to the terminal device, the cloud device receives the upgrade instruction issued by the terminal device and sends the upgrade instruction to the electronic device.

[0080] Step 202: Determine upgrade information of the firmware to be upgraded based on the type information of the firmware to be upgraded; the upgrade information is used to indicate the upgrade order of the firmware to be upgraded.

[0081] Exemplarily, in the embodiment of the present application, the upgrade information may be the upgrade level of the firmware to be upgraded, and the upgrade level can be used to indicate the upgrade order of the firmware to be upgraded. It should be noted that the upgrade level is different from the upgrade dependency.

[0082] Specifically, the existence of an upgrade dependency relationship between the second firmware and the third firmware may indicate that upgrading the third firmware depends on the second firmware. Based on the upgrade dependency relationship, the third firmware will be upgraded only when the second firmware is upgraded. If the second firmware does not exist in at least two firmwares to be upgraded of the electronic device, the third firmware cannot be upgraded.

[0083] The different upgrade levels corresponding to the second firmware and the third firmware may indicate that the upgrade level of the second firmware is higher than the upgrade level of the third firmware. Based on the above upgrade levels, when the second firmware does not exist in at least two firmwares to be upgraded of the electronic device, the third firmware can be upgraded independently of the second firmware, and only when the second firmware and the third firmware are included in at least two firmwares to be upgraded of the electronic device, the third firmware will be upgraded when the second firmware upgrade is completed. The second firmware is any firmware of the at least two firmwares to be upgraded of the electronic device, and the third firmware is any firmware of the at least two firmwares to be upgraded of the electronic device except the second firmware.

[0084] Exemplarily, the type information of the firmware to be upgraded may be the functional information of the firmware in the electronic device, and each functional information corresponds to a unique type identifier. The functional information of the firmware may be determined based on the encoding information of the firmware. Based on the type information of the firmware to be upgraded, the upgrade information of the firmware to be upgraded is determined, and at least two firmware to be upgraded are sorted based on the subordinate relationship of the functional information of the firmware to be upgraded, and the upgrade information of each firmware to be upgraded is determined based on the sorting result.

[0085] Wherein, determining the upgrade information of each firmware to be upgraded based on the sorting result may be determining the sorting order of the firmware to be upgraded in the sorting result, and determining the upgrade level of the firmware to be upgraded based on the sorting order. For example, determining the sorting order of the firmware to be upgraded in the sorting result is the first order; determining the upgrade information of the firmware to be upgraded with the first order as the first level; determining the sorting order of the firmware to be upgraded in the sorting result is the second order, and determining the upgrade information of the firmware to be upgraded with the second order as the second level; wherein the upgrade level of the first level is higher than the second level.

[0086] In an application example, based on the type information of each firmware to be upgraded, determining the upgrade information of each firmware to be upgraded includes:

[0087] Sorting at least two firmwares to be upgraded according to the subordinate relationship between the type information to obtain a first sorting result;

[0088] Upgrade information is determined based on the first sorting result.

[0089] Exemplarily, the subordinate relationship between the type information may be a master-slave relationship between the type information, and specifically, the master-slave relationship may be a relationship between the main function information of the firmware to be upgraded and the subordinate function information corresponding to the main function information. Sorting the at least two firmware to be upgraded according to the subordinate relationship between the type information may be sorting the at least two firmware to be upgraded based on the subordinate relationship of the function information of the at least two firmware to be upgraded. For example, the function information of each firmware to be upgraded is sorted from the subordinate function information to the main function information, so that each firmware to be upgraded is sorted according to the master-slave relationship between the function information and from the subordinate function information to the main function information.

[0090] Exemplarily, the subordinate relationship between type information may also be a transmission link relationship for information transmission. Specifically, the transmission link relationship may be a transmission link relationship for information transmission in firmware to be upgraded corresponding to different functional information. At least two firmware to be upgraded may be sorted according to the subordinate relationship between type information, and at least two firmware to be upgraded may be sorted based on the transmission link relationship for information transmission in firmware to be upgraded corresponding to different functional information. For example, the firmware to be upgraded may be sorted in the reverse order of the transmission links for information transmission in the firmware to be upgraded corresponding to each functional information, so that each firmware to be upgraded is sorted in the order in which the information is transmitted in the firmware to be upgraded corresponding to each functional information, and in the reverse order of the information transmission.

[0091] In an application example, based on the type information of each firmware to be upgraded, determining the upgrade information of each firmware to be upgraded includes:

[0092] Sorting at least two firmwares to be upgraded according to the level order of the type information to obtain a second sorting result;

[0093] The upgrade information is determined based on the second sorting result.

[0094] Exemplarily, the level order of the type information can be determined based on the subordinate relationship between the aforementioned type information; or it can be determined based on a preset rule, which characterizes the preset level order corresponding to each functional information. Before sorting at least two firmwares to be upgraded based on the level order of the type information, the method further includes: determining the level order corresponding to the type information based on the preset rule and the type information. For example, the level order corresponding to each functional information is determined based on the functional information of the firmware to be upgraded and the preset rule.

[0095] Step 203, the upgrade information is sent to the terminal device; the upgrade information is also used to instruct the terminal device to determine the upgrade instruction; the upgrade instruction is used to instruct the electronic device to upgrade the firmware to be upgraded.

[0096] Here, the upgrade information at least includes upgrade level information corresponding to each of the two firmwares to be upgraded. Sending the upgrade information to the terminal device may be sending the upgrade level information corresponding to each of the two firmwares to be upgraded to the terminal device.

[0097] In an application example, after sending the upgrade information to the terminal device, the method further includes:

[0098] Receiving an upgrade instruction determined by the terminal device based on the upgrade information;

[0099] Send upgrade instructions to electronic devices.

[0100] Here, the upgrade instruction at least includes a first instruction for upgrading the first firmware to be upgraded, a second instruction for upgrading the second firmware to be upgraded, and a third instruction for restarting the electronic device. The upgrade instruction is sent to the electronic device, which can be: first receiving a first instruction issued by a terminal device, sending the first instruction to the electronic device, receiving a first upgrade completion message issued by the electronic device, and sending the first upgrade completion message to the terminal device; receiving a third instruction issued by the terminal device, sending the third instruction to the electronic device, receiving a restart completion message issued by the electronic device, and sending the restart completion message to the terminal device; receiving a second instruction issued by the terminal device, sending the second instruction to the electronic device, receiving a second upgrade completion message issued by the electronic device, and sending the second upgrade completion message to the terminal device; receiving a third instruction issued by the terminal device again, sending the third instruction to the electronic device, waiting for the electronic device to restart, receiving other upgrade instructions issued by the terminal device, and sending other upgrade instructions to the electronic device, and the other upgrade instructions are used to instruct the electronic device to upgrade the firmware to be upgraded other than the first firmware to be upgraded and the second firmware to be upgraded.

[0101] Here, after the last firmware to be upgraded is upgraded, a third instruction issued by the terminal device is received, the third instruction is sent to the electronic device, and the electronic device waits for restart to be completed, thereby reloading the updated firmware into the memory of the electronic device so that the updated firmware can take effect.

[0102] Or, receiving a third instruction from the terminal device, sending the third instruction to the electronic device, receiving a second instruction from the terminal device after a preset time, sending the second instruction to the electronic device, receiving a second upgrade completion message from the electronic device, and sending the second upgrade completion message to the terminal device. The preset time represents the minimum time required for the electronic device to restart.

[0103] Among them, if there are multiple firmware to be upgraded, after each upgrade of the firmware to be upgraded is executed, it is necessary to restart based on the third instruction, and then execute the upgrade of the next firmware to be upgraded based on the upgrade instruction determined by the upgrade sequence until all the firmware to be upgraded are upgraded.

[0104] In the related art, after multiple firmwares to be upgraded are determined through query information sent by the electronic device to the cloud device, only one of the firmwares to be upgraded can be upgraded. After the upgrade of the current firmware to be upgraded is completed, after waiting for a period of time (for example, 12 hours), multiple firmwares to be upgraded are determined through query information sent by the electronic device to the cloud device again. Still, only one of the firmwares to be upgraded can be upgraded, resulting in the user being unable to complete the firmware upgrade and use the new functions in a short continuous period of time, resulting in a poor user experience. In the related art, if continuous upgrades are required, the user can unplug the electronic device to power off and restart.

[0105] In the present application scheme, after the electronic device completes upgrading the first firmware to be upgraded, the electronic device receives a third instruction issued by the terminal device (for example, the third instruction can be generated based on the operation information performed by the user on the terminal device, and the operation information can include information for restarting the electronic device), and the electronic device performs power-off and restart based on the third instruction. After the electronic device completes power-off and restart, the electronic device receives a second instruction issued by the terminal device (for example, the second instruction can be generated based on the operation information performed by the user on the terminal device; the operation information can include information for upgrading the second firmware to be upgraded), and the electronic device upgrades the second firmware to be upgraded based on the second instruction.

[0106] In this way, the electronic device can upgrade the first firmware to be upgraded among multiple firmware to be upgraded in response to the first instruction, and can also power off and restart in response to the third instruction. After power off and restart, it can respond to the second instruction to upgrade the second firmware to be upgraded among the multiple firmware to be upgraded, without having to wait for a long time to upgrade the second firmware to be upgraded after the upgrade of the first firmware to be upgraded is completed, thereby achieving the upgrade of the firmware to be upgraded in a short continuous time.

[0107] In a second aspect, the present application also provides a firmware upgrade method, which is applied to an electronic device, such as Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0108] Step 301: receiving an upgrade instruction determined based on upgrade information of at least two firmwares to be upgraded in the electronic device.

[0109] Step 302: In response to the upgrade instruction, upgrade at least two firmwares to be upgraded.

[0110] It can be understood that the firmware upgrade method in the embodiment of the present application is applied to electronic devices, and each electronic device can send a query request to the cloud device.

[0111] In other embodiments, after the electronic device sends a query request to the cloud device, the electronic device receives download information of each of the at least two firmwares to be upgraded sent by the cloud device, wherein the download information may be an upgrade package of the firmware to be upgraded.

[0112] In other embodiments, after the cloud device receives the download information of the firmware to be upgraded, the electronic device downloads the firmware to be upgraded based on the download information. When the electronic device completes downloading the firmware to be upgraded, it generates an upgrade request and sends the upgrade request to the cloud device.

[0113] Exemplarily, receiving an upgrade instruction determined based on upgrade information of at least two firmware to be upgraded in the electronic device can be that the electronic device receives an upgrade instruction sent by a terminal device to a cloud device and sent by the cloud device; the electronic device can also receive an upgrade instruction sent by a cloud device.

[0114] In an application example, the upgrade instruction includes at least a first instruction and a second instruction; in response to the upgrade instruction, at least two firmwares to be upgraded are upgraded, including:

[0115] In response to the first instruction, upgrading a first firmware to be upgraded that has the highest upgrade order among the at least two firmware to be upgraded;

[0116] In response to the second instruction, a second firmware to be upgraded that has a second upgrade order among the at least two firmware to be upgraded is upgraded.

[0117] Exemplarily, in response to a first instruction, a first firmware to be upgraded that has the highest upgrade order among at least two firmware to be upgraded is upgraded. The electronic device can receive the first instruction sent via a cloud device or directly via a terminal device, upgrade the first firmware to be upgraded based on the first instruction, generate first upgrade completion information after the upgrade is completed, and send the first upgrade completion information to the terminal device via a cloud device or directly to the terminal device.

[0118] In response to the second instruction, the second firmware to be upgraded that has the second highest upgrade order among the at least two firmware to be upgraded is upgraded. The electronic device can receive the second instruction sent via a cloud device or directly via a terminal device, upgrade the second firmware to be upgraded based on the second instruction, generate second upgrade completion information after the upgrade is completed, and send the second upgrade completion information to the terminal device via the cloud device or directly to the terminal device.

[0119] In an application example, the upgrade instruction further includes a third instruction; before upgrading the second firmware with the second highest upgrade order among the at least two firmwares to be upgraded, the method further includes:

[0120] In response to the third instruction, the electronic device is restarted.

[0121] Exemplarily, after the electronic device sends the first upgrade completion information to the terminal device via the cloud device or directly to the terminal device, it receives a third instruction sent via the cloud device or directly to the terminal device, performs a restart operation based on the third instruction, generates restart completion information after the restart is complete, and sends the restart completion information to the terminal device via the cloud device or directly to the terminal device.

[0122] In a third aspect, the present application provides a firmware upgrade method, which is applied to a terminal device, such as Figure 4 As shown, the method includes:

[0123] Step 401: receiving upgrade information of each firmware to be upgraded of at least two firmware to be upgraded determined by the cloud device according to the type information of the electronic device.

[0124] It can be understood that the firmware upgrade method in the embodiment of the present application is applied to the terminal device, and the terminal device can send a query instruction to the electronic device through the cloud device or directly send a query instruction to the electronic device, and the query instruction is used to instruct the electronic device to send a query request to the cloud device.

[0125] Step 402: display at least two firmwares to be upgraded according to the upgrade information.

[0126] Exemplarily, the terminal device may be able to arrange at least two firmware to be upgraded according to the upgrade information, and sequentially display the at least two firmware to be upgraded according to the arrangement result.

[0127] In an application example, at least two firmwares to be upgraded are displayed according to the upgrade information, including:

[0128] Determine the display status corresponding to each firmware to be upgraded according to the upgrade information;

[0129] Each firmware to be upgraded is displayed according to the display status.

[0130] Exemplarily, the display state may include at least a color state and a font size state. Different upgrade information of the firmware to be upgraded corresponds to different upgrade levels, and different upgrade levels correspond to different display states. Specifically, the firmware to be upgraded with a higher upgrade level may be in a highlighted display state or a display state with a larger font; the firmware to be upgraded with a higher upgrade level may be in a first grayed-out display state or a first smaller font display state. Determining the display state corresponding to each firmware to be upgraded according to the upgrade information may be determining the upgrade level corresponding to the upgrade information of the firmware to be upgraded; and determining the display state corresponding to each firmware to be upgraded based on the upgrade level.

[0131] In this way, each firmware to be upgraded is displayed according to the display state, which can prompt the user to select the firmware to be upgraded with a higher upgrade level among the at least two firmware to be upgraded, and instruct the user to send operation information to the firmware to be upgraded with a higher upgrade level.

[0132] In other embodiments, after the upgrade of the firmware to be upgraded is completed, the upgraded firmware to be upgraded can be in a second grayed-out style display state or a second smaller font display state; wherein the first grayed-out style and the second grayed-out style are different, and the first smaller font and the second smaller font are different, so as to distinguish whether the firmware to be upgraded is in an upgrade completion state or in a state of waiting for other firmware to be upgraded to be upgraded.

[0133] Step 403: Determine an upgrade instruction for upgrading at least two firmwares to be upgraded based on the upgrade information.

[0134] Exemplarily, the terminal device may determine an upgrade instruction for upgrading at least two firmwares to be upgraded in response to operation information of the user based on the upgrade information.

[0135] Step 404: Send an upgrade instruction to the electronic device.

[0136] Exemplarily, a cloud device may be provided for the terminal device to send a query instruction to the electronic device or directly send an upgrade instruction to the electronic device.

[0137] The firmware upgrade method of the embodiment of the present application is illustrated below with reference to an application example.

[0138] In this application example, by introducing the upgrade firmware type identification (for example, display class: A, main control class: B, indoor parameter class: C, outdoor program class: D, outdoor parameter class: E), the type identification can be obtained according to the coding information corresponding to the firmware function information; the firmware type upgrade priority is defined as E>D>C>B>A, or the firmware type upgrade priority is determined based on the subordinate relationship of the firmware function information. The firmware and the device establish a one-to-many relationship, that is, one firmware can correspond to multiple devices. For example, X air conditioner and Y air conditioner share A and C firmware, X air conditioner corresponds to B firmware, and Y air conditioner corresponds to B' firmware.

[0139] like Figure 5 As shown, the firmware upgrade method includes the following steps:

[0140] Step 501: The electronic control of the electronic device initiates a firmware version query to the cloud device via the WiFi module.

[0141] Step 502: The cloud device queries all upgradeable firmware of the electronic device.

[0142] Step 503: The cloud device notifies the WiFi module to download all firmware.

[0143] Step 504: After the electronic device has completed downloading the firmware, the electronic device displays the upgradeable firmware in the APP of the terminal device, and notifies the APP to prompt the user to upgrade the firmware.

[0144] For example, when the function of air conditioner X needs to be upgraded, three types of firmware, A, B, and C, are involved. According to the upgrade priority, C is upgraded first, then B, and finally A. The firmware C, B, and A are displayed in sequence according to the upgrade priority.

[0145] For example, when the Y air conditioner function needs to be upgraded, it involves two types of firmware, A and C. According to the upgrade priority, C is upgraded first, and then A. The C and A firmware are displayed in sequence according to the upgrade priority.

[0146] For example, when the Z air conditioning function needs to be upgraded, four types of firmware, A, B, D, and E, are involved. According to the upgrade priority, E is upgraded first, then D, then B, and finally A. The E, D, B, and A firmware are displayed in order according to the upgrade priority.

[0147] Step 505: The user clicks on the APP to highlight the firmware upgrade, and the firmware status shows that it is upgrading.

[0148] Step 506: After the upgrade is completed, the status is displayed as upgraded and the firmware is grayed out, and the next firmware is highlighted.

[0149] Step 507: After all firmware upgrades are completed, a new function guide is displayed.

[0150] The above upgrade process can be presented in task mode through the APP interface, guiding the user to complete all firmware upgrades in sequence.

[0151] For example, Figure 6 As shown, when the X air conditioner function is upgraded, the APP detects that the air conditioner firmware upgrade function has been released. The existing air conditioners need to perform multiple over-the-air technology (OTA) to use this function. When the module downloads all the firmware, the APP displays the firmware upgrade task, which is arranged in CBA order on the APP interface, and the C firmware upgrade prompt is highlighted. When the user clicks to upgrade the C firmware, the APP interface shows that the firmware is being upgraded, and it is expected to be completed in M ​​minutes. After the electronic control end returns the upgrade success status, it is updated to the APP interface. At this time, the C firmware status on the APP interface switches to upgraded and grayed out, and the B firmware is highlighted, guiding the user to click to upgrade. And so on. After all the firmware upgrades are completed, the novice guide for the new function is displayed.

[0152] This solution can solve the problem of different devices having upgrade sequence requirements for multiple firmware upgrade packages. It can present the firmware dependency upgrade relationship through APP guidance, so that the upgrade requirements can be met even if the upgrade package dependencies between different devices are different.
