[0044] In the following description, specific details such as specific system structures, technologies, etc. are provided for the purpose of illustration rather than limitation, so as to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present application. However, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that the present application may also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted to prevent unnecessary details from obstructing the description of the present application.

[0045] It should be understood that when used in the present specification and the appended claims, the term "comprising" indicates the presence of described features, wholes, steps, operations, elements and / or components, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, elements, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0046] It should also be understood that the term “and / or” used in the specification and appended claims refers to any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items, and includes these combinations.

[0047] As used in the specification and appended claims of this application, the term "if" can be interpreted as "when" or "uponce" or "in response to determining" or "in response to detecting", depending on the context. Similarly, the phrase "if it is determined" or "if [described condition or event] is detected" can be interpreted as meaning "uponce it is determined" or "in response to determining" or "uponce [described condition or event] is detected" or "in response to detecting [described condition or event]", depending on the context.

[0048] In addition, in the description of the present application specification and the appended claims, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used to distinguish the descriptions and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0049] References to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" etc. described in the specification of this application mean that one or more embodiments of the present application include specific features, structures or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment. Therefore, the statements "in one embodiment", "in some embodiments", "in some other embodiments", "in some other embodiments", etc. that appear in different places in this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but mean "one or more but not all embodiments", unless otherwise specifically emphasized in other ways. The terms "including", "comprising", "having" and their variations all mean "including but not limited to", unless otherwise specifically emphasized in other ways.

[0050] For most devices, after they are produced in the factory, they need to be tested and verified for each hardware part of the device. This test verification process requires a specific production test software. After the test verification is completed, the production test software needs to be upgraded to the official shipping software before the device can be completely generated and officially shipped. The production test software is batch burned into the device through the chip batch burning tool before the device chip is mounted. The efficiency of batch burning can meet the requirements, but when upgrading from the production test software to the official shipping software, since the chip has been mounted on the device hardware, the production test software can only be upgraded to the official shipping software through software upgrade. For the software upgrade of a small number of devices, the impact of manual operation upgrade on the upgrade efficiency is not great, but when the number of devices is large, manual operation upgrade will take a long time and effort.

[0051] In order to solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a device software upgrade method, apparatus, smart device and storage medium, which are described below for details.

[0052] It should be understood that the device software upgrade method provided in the embodiment of the present application is applicable to various types of smart devices and servers that need to perform software upgrades, and the embodiment of the present application does not impose any restrictions on the specific types of smart devices and servers.

[0053] Figure 1 The implementation process of the device software upgrade method provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown. The execution end of the method is any device to be upgraded in the device group. The method flow includes steps S101 to S104. The specific implementation principle of each step is as follows:

[0054] Step S101: When the device to be upgraded determines that the device is located in a designated area, an automatic upgrade strategy of the device is triggered.

[0055] The above-mentioned designated area may be an equipment upgrade area pre-designated by the factory.

[0056] In this embodiment, the device group includes a number of devices to be upgraded, which may be devices in the same batch that need to be upgraded, and the device group also includes at least one upgraded device. When any device to be upgraded in the device group determines that it is located in the specified area, its automatic upgrade strategy is triggered.

[0057] The automatic upgrade policy is used to guide the device to be upgraded to automatically download the software upgrade package and upgrade.

[0058] As a possible implementation of this application, Figure 2 A specific implementation process of determining whether the device is in a specified area in the device software upgrade method provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown, and is described in detail as follows:

[0059] A1: Determine the distance between the device and the preset ultra-wideband tag in the specified area.

[0060] Each device in the device group (including devices to be upgraded and upgraded devices) is equipped with an ultra-wideband (UWB) module. The UWB module is a wireless communication technology module used for precise positioning and distance measurement. Different from the principle of the GPS module, it calculates the distance based on the transmission time between the two modules and the propagation speed of the signal in the air. The preset ultra-wideband tag is an electronic tag that can communicate wirelessly with the UWB module in the above-mentioned specified area to achieve high-precision distance measurement.

[0061] A2: If the distance is less than or equal to a preset distance threshold, it is determined that the device is located within the specified area.

[0062] A3: If the distance is greater than the preset distance threshold, it is determined that the device is not within the specified area.

[0063] In this embodiment, the device to be upgraded sends a signal through the UWB module. After the preset ultra-wideband tag receives the signal, it returns the signal to the device to be upgraded. The device to be upgraded calculates the distance between itself and the preset ultra-wideband tag based on the time difference of the return signal. When the distance is less than or equal to the preset distance threshold, it can be determined that the device to be upgraded is located in the specified area, and when the distance is greater than the preset distance threshold, it can be determined that the device is not in the specified area.

[0064] The designated area may be an area with a preset ultra-wideband tag as the center and a preset distance threshold as the radius.

[0065] In some implementations, there are multiple preset ultra-wideband tags in a designated area, and the designated area may be composed of multiple sub-areas, each of which has a preset ultra-wideband tag as a center and a preset distance threshold as a radius.

[0066] In this embodiment, the ultra-wideband module is used to send and receive signals, so as to accurately determine the distance between the device to be upgraded and the preset ultra-wideband tag, and accurately judge whether the device is located in the specified area, thereby improving the effectiveness of triggering the automatic upgrade strategy.

[0067] Step S102: Based on the automatic upgrade strategy, determine the upgraded target device in the device group.

[0068] The target device is a device in the device group that has been upgraded and has a software upgrade package. After the device to be upgraded triggers its own automatic upgrade strategy, the target device is determined from the device group so that the software upgrade package can be obtained from the target device.

[0069] As a possible implementation of this application, Figure 3 A specific implementation process of step S102 in the device software upgrade method provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown, and is described in detail as follows:

[0070] B1: Searching for wireless hotspots based on the automatic upgrade strategy.

[0071] In this embodiment, based on the automatic upgrade strategy, the hotspot search mode is turned on to search for wireless hotspots in the above-specified area. For example, the device to be upgraded turns on the STA mode to continuously scan the surrounding wireless hotspots.

[0072] B2: When a target wireless hotspot is searched, a device providing the target wireless hotspot is determined as a target device, wherein the target wireless hotspot refers to a wireless hotspot that matches a preset wireless hotspot rule.

[0073] The target device is an upgraded device. After the device to be upgraded is upgraded to an upgraded device, a wireless hotspot can be opened for other devices to be upgraded to search. In this embodiment, after the device to be upgraded triggers the automatic upgrade strategy, it continuously searches for wireless hotspots in the specified area, and determines the wireless hotspot that matches the preset hotspot rule as the target wireless hotspot to be connected, and the device that provides the target wireless hotspot is determined as the target device.

[0074] The above-mentioned preset hotspot rule may include a wireless hotspot name and may also include a wireless hotspot password. The wireless hotspot name may be named according to the device name and the device serial number. The wireless hotspot password may be empty or a unified preset password. In this embodiment, when a wireless hotspot whose device name and device serial number match the device is searched, it is determined that the target wireless hotspot is searched.

[0075] Exemplarily, the device to be upgraded continuously searches for wireless hotspots, performs preliminary screening on the searched wireless hotspots based on the device names in the wireless hotspot names, retains the wireless hotspots whose device names match the current device, and then determines the device model based on the device serial number in the wireless hotspot name, and determines the wireless hotspot whose device model matches the current device model as the target wireless hotspot.

[0076] In a possible implementation, the wireless hotspot is marked with a connection status. When more than one wireless hotspot matching the preset wireless hotspot rule is searched at the same time, the wireless hotspot with the connection status marked as connectable is preferentially selected as the target wireless hotspot. That is, the target wireless hotspot is the wireless hotspot with the connection status marked as connectable.

[0077] If there are multiple wireless hotspots that match the preset wireless hotspot rule and whose connection status is marked as connectable, a wireless hotspot may be randomly selected as the target wireless hotspot; or, the target wireless hotspot may be determined based on the signal strength of the wireless hotspot and / or the distance between the device providing the wireless hotspot and the device. For example, the wireless hotspot with the strongest signal strength and / or the shortest device distance may be determined as the target wireless hotspot.

[0078] In this embodiment, by searching for a wireless hotspot that matches the preset wireless hotspot rules as the target wireless hotspot, the effectiveness of the wireless connection can be improved, avoiding the failure of software upgrade package downloading caused by connecting to other devices that do not have a software upgrade package or whose software upgrade package does not match, thereby affecting the upgrade success rate and efficiency.

[0079] Step S103: downloading a software upgrade package from the target device, and automatically upgrading according to the software upgrade package.

[0080] In this embodiment, the device to be upgraded is connected to the target file server of the target device based on the wireless hotspot provided by the target device, and searches for the software upgrade package from the specified directory of the target file server; if the software upgrade package is found, the software upgrade package is downloaded to the specified directory of the file server of this device, and the upgrade is automatically performed according to the software upgrade package.

[0081] In some embodiments, when a software upgrade package is found in a specified directory of a target file server, the device model in the header of the software upgrade package is read. If the device model in the header of the software upgrade package contains the device model of the current device, the software upgrade package is downloaded to the specified directory of its own file server. This avoids downloading invalid software upgrade packages that may affect the normal upgrade of the current device, and can effectively ensure the success rate of batch upgrades.

[0082] Step S104: After the upgrade is completed, the wireless hotspot of the device is turned on, and the wireless hotspot is used for other devices to be upgraded in the device group to connect and download the software upgrade package.

[0083] In this embodiment, after the upgrade is completed, the device to be upgraded can be switched to become the target device for other devices to be upgraded to connect and download the software upgrade package. After the upgrade is completed, the device to be upgraded automatically switches from the hotspot search mode to the hotspot mode, that is, automatically switches from the STA mode to the AP mode, and provides a wireless hotspot for other devices to be upgraded in the device group to connect and download the software upgrade package.

[0084] As a possible implementation of this application, Figure 4 A specific implementation process of establishing a connection between the device and other devices to be upgraded in the device software upgrade method provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown, and is described in detail as follows:

[0085] C1: When a wireless hotspot connection request sent by another device to be upgraded is detected, the wireless hotspot rule carried in the wireless hotspot connection request is verified.

[0086] C2: If the wireless hotspot rule matches the preset wireless hotspot rule, the verification is passed. The preset wireless hotspot rule can refer to the above content and will not be described here.

[0087] C3: Establishing a connection with the other devices to be upgraded based on the wireless hotspot.

[0088] In this embodiment, the connection between the device to be upgraded and the target device is a two-way selection. When the device to be upgraded searches for and determines the target wireless hotspot, the scanned wireless hotspot is screened based on preset wireless hotspot rules. When the device to be upgraded is upgraded and can serve as a target device for other devices to be upgraded to connect to and download software upgrade packages, the device to be upgraded that sends a wireless hotspot connection request is also verified based on the preset wireless hotspot rules. The two-way verification is beneficial to ensuring the validity of the connection, avoiding the validity of the software upgrade package download caused by device connection errors, and can indirectly improve the efficiency of automatic software upgrades.

[0089] In a possible implementation, when more than one wireless hotspot connection request sent by the other devices to be upgraded is detected at the same time, the wireless hotspot rule carried in the wireless hotspot connection request sent by the closest device to be upgraded is verified according to the distance between the device and the other devices to be upgraded. That is, determining the connected device to be upgraded based on the distance priority principle is conducive to improving the speed of software upgrade package downloading, thereby improving the efficiency of automatic software upgrade of the device to be upgraded.

[0090] In a possible implementation, after establishing a connection with the other devices to be upgraded based on the wireless hotspot, the connection status of the wireless hotspot of the present device is marked as unconnectable; when the other devices to be upgraded complete downloading the software upgrade package, the connection status of the wireless hotspot of the present device is marked as connectable. In this embodiment, by marking the connection status of the wireless hotspot, the number of other devices to be upgraded that are connected to the present device to download the software upgrade package can be limited, which is conducive to improving the speed of downloading the software upgrade package, and further improving the efficiency of automatic software upgrade of the devices to be upgraded.

[0091] In this embodiment, when the upgrade of the device to be upgraded is completed, the connection status of the wireless hotspot of the target device is marked as connectable, and the download of the software upgrade package can continue to be provided for other devices to be upgraded.

[0092] In a possible implementation, if the software upgrade package fails to be downloaded, a new upgraded target device is determined; and the software upgrade package is re-downloaded from the new upgraded target device. By re-determining the target device and downloading the software upgrade package again for upgrading, the upgrade interruption caused by download failure can be avoided, thereby ensuring the efficiency of automatic device upgrade.

[0093] In a possible implementation, when a restart instruction is detected, the device is restarted based on the restart instruction, and the software upgrade package is deleted. The restart instruction may be triggered regularly, or may be triggered by a user, which is not limited here.

[0094] In this embodiment, the device to be upgraded will restart after the upgrade is successful, and after restarting, the hotspot mode is turned on, and the wireless hotspot is turned on for other devices to be upgraded to connect and download the software upgrade package. The software upgrade package stored in the device is only used for the upgrade of this device and other devices to be upgraded. By restarting the device to delete the software upgrade package and closing the connection to the file server, the storage space of the device can be reduced, and the software upgrade package can be prevented from affecting other devices in the future.

[0095] In this embodiment, only one upgraded device is needed in the device group, and the device to be upgraded can connect to download the software upgrade package to achieve automatic downloading. Moreover, after each device to be upgraded is successfully upgraded, it can provide a wireless hotspot for other devices to be upgraded that have not yet been upgraded to connect and download the software upgrade package. Based on this method, within a period of time, one upgraded device in the device group can help one device to be upgraded to upgrade, which becomes two upgraded devices, two upgraded devices can help two devices to be upgraded to upgrade, which becomes four upgraded devices, and four upgraded devices can help four devices to be upgraded to upgrade, which becomes eight upgraded devices. The upgraded device can be 2 n The software upgrade of all devices can be completed in less than 10 upgrade cycles for a group of 1,000 devices, which greatly improves the efficiency of batch upgrades of devices, reduces manual reliance, and greatly reduces the requirements for network bandwidth and server performance, reducing the consumption of manpower and material resources. The more devices to be upgraded, the more obvious the efficiency improvement.

[0096] In an embodiment of the present application, when any device to be upgraded in the device group determines that the device is located in a designated area, the automatic upgrade strategy of its own device is triggered. Based on the automatic upgrade strategy, the upgraded target device is determined in the device group, and then the software upgrade package is downloaded from the target device, and the upgrade is automatically performed according to the software upgrade package. After the upgrade is completed, the wireless hotspot of the device is turned on, and other devices to be upgraded in the device group can be upgraded after connecting to the wireless hotspot to download the software upgrade package, thereby realizing the "infectious" automatic upgrade of the devices to be upgraded, which greatly reduces the consumption of manpower and material resources, can effectively improve the efficiency of automatic upgrade of batch device software, and reduce the upgrade cost.

[0097] It should be understood that the size of the serial numbers of the steps in the above embodiments does not mean the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present application.
