[0028] Method Embodiment

[0029] The following is a detailed description of the method for updating an IoT device provided by the embodiment of the present application through specific embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Reference Figure 1, showing the steps of an IoT device update method provided by an embodiment of the present application Figure 1 ,like Figure 1 As shown, the method specifically includes steps 101 to 105:

[0031] Step 101: Obtain status information, historical usage information, and regional information of IoT devices; the status information includes IoT device types and performance parameters.

[0032] During the IoT device update process of the present application, the server may first obtain the IoT device's status information, historical usage information, and regional information; the status information includes the IoT device type and performance parameters.

[0033] In this step, the status information may include but is not limited to the software version of the IoT device, the hardware information of the IoT device, the IoT device type, and performance parameters, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0034] Exemplarily, in this step, hardware information, environmental parameters, performance data, etc. are determined according to the specific device type. The hardware information, environmental parameters, and performance data of different devices are different; for example, a smart watch contains its own hardware version information and chip type; environmental parameters include heart rate, blood pressure, etc. Performance parameters include parameters such as peak value and exercise frequency during exercise.

[0035] In this step, IoT devices refer to various smart devices connected to the Internet of Things. These devices usually have components such as sensors, processors, memory, communication modules, etc., which can collect, process, transmit and receive data to realize the intelligence and remote control of the devices, which is not limited in the embodiments of this application.

[0036] Exemplarily, in this step, when the IoT device is a smart watch, the historical usage information may include but is not limited to various sports modes of the smart watch. Often users prefer only one or two types of sports, some users like running, and some users like basketball. The server analyzes user behavior based on the data and pushes firmware that is biased towards basketball and firmware that is biased towards running, respectively.

[0037] In this step, the regional information may include but is not limited to geographical location, climate, humidity, temperature, etc. of each region, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0038] For example, when the IoT device is an air conditioner, the server can collect data over a period of time to update the firmware and thus update the air conditioner configuration parameters, and can adjust the compressor frequency and air output power to better serve users.

[0039] The type of IoT device may be any type, for example, the IoT device may be industrial, household, medical equipment, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0040] Exemplarily, when the IoT device is a smart watch, the performance parameters may include parameters such as peak value and exercise frequency during exercise, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0041] In this step, the server can first obtain the status information, historical usage information and regional information of the IoT device, and then analyze and process the obtained information for subsequent determination of the update strategy.

[0042] Furthermore, when obtaining the status information, historical usage information and regional information of the IoT device, the server can obtain the status information and performance parameters of the IoT device through sensors and the built-in monitoring mechanism of the IoT device; obtain the regional information of the IoT device through positioning technology; and determine the user's historical usage information based on user interaction data.

[0043] Exemplarily, the sensor may be any type of sensor, such as a motion sensor, a temperature sensor, or a humidity sensor, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0044] In this step, the built-in monitoring mechanism of the IoT device can be used to obtain the status information, historical usage information and regional information of the IoT device. It is similar to a sensor.

[0047] In this step, when the IoT device is a smart watch, the user's historical usage information may include running exercise modes and music modes used while running, etc., which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0048] In this step, the server can obtain the status information, historical usage information and regional information of the IoT device based on sensors, positioning technology, built-in monitoring mechanisms of the IoT device, and user interaction data.

[0049] Step 102: Determine an application scenario based on historical usage information and regional information.

[0050] The IoT device update method provided in the embodiment of the present application obtains the status information, historical usage information and regional information of the IoT device; after the status information includes the type and performance parameters of the IoT device, the server can determine the application scenario based on the historical usage information and regional information.

[0051] In this step, the application scenarios may include but are not limited to various smart home appliances, smart cars, smart agriculture, medical equipment, or consumer electronics scenarios, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0052] In this step, the server can determine the application scenario based on historical usage information and regional information.

[0053] Furthermore, when determining the application scenario based on the historical usage information and the regional information, the server may determine the user's target demand based on the historical usage information; and determine the application scenario corresponding to the target demand based on the target demand.

[0054] In this step, when the IoT device is a smart watch, the user's target demand may be to obtain parameters such as the peak heart rate and exercise frequency during exercise, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0055] In this step, the server can determine the application scenario based on historical usage information and regional information.

[0056] Step 103: Determine the update strategy corresponding to the IoT device according to the status information and application scenario.

[0057] The IoT device update method provided in the embodiment of the present application can determine the update strategy corresponding to the IoT device based on the status information and the application scenario after the application scenario is determined based on the historical usage information and the regional information.

[0058] For example, in this step, in the process of determining the update strategy corresponding to the IoT device, when the IoT device is a smart watch, the smart watch has multiple sports modes, and users often prefer only one or two types of sports, some users like running, some users like basketball, etc.; the server can analyze user behavior based on the data and push firmware that is biased towards basketball and firmware that is biased towards running respectively.

[0059] Step 104: Generate an update file corresponding to the IoT device according to the update strategy.

[0060] The IoT device update method provided in the embodiment of the present application can generate an update file corresponding to the IoT device according to the update strategy after determining the update strategy corresponding to the IoT device according to the status information and application scenario.

[0061] Exemplarily, in this step, the update file may include an update package and a configuration file, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0062] Exemplarily, in this step, the server may adjust device parameters based on the configuration file.

[0063] Exemplarily, in this step, the server may generate an update file based on historical usage of the IoT device and user feedback, where the update file includes an update package and a configuration file.

[0064] Exemplarily, in this step, the category parameters of different IoT devices are different. When the IoT device is an air conditioner, the IoT device parameters may include compressor power and windshield power. When the IoT device is a smart watch, the smart watch parameters may include detection frequency, detection direction parameters, etc., which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0065] Furthermore, in this step, when generating the update file corresponding to the IoT device according to the update strategy, the server can determine the update frequency, update time and IoT device configuration parameters based on the update strategy; determine the update file corresponding to the IoT device according to the update frequency, update time and IoT device configuration parameters.

[0066] Exemplarily, in this step, in the process of determining the update frequency, when the IoT device is an air conditioner, the server can collect data on a weekly or monthly basis based on product characteristics. When the user's home environment is in high temperature for a long time for a week, the air conditioner collects temperature, humidity and other data and reports it to the server. Through cloud processing and analysis, the device firmware can be actively updated to update the device parameters. Some air conditioners have energy-saving functions, and energy-saving can be canceled to obtain a stronger cooling effect.

[0067] The update time may be any time, and the IoT device may be updated according to the update package based on the characteristics of the IoT device and actual user usage.

[0068] For example, in the process of determining the configuration parameters of an IoT device, when the IoT device is an air conditioner, based on information such as geographic location, climate, regional humidity, temperature, etc., data for a period of time can be collected to update the IoT device; and then the configuration parameters of the air conditioner can be updated, for example, the compressor frequency and air output power can be adjusted to better serve users.

After determining the update strategy, the server can determine the update file corresponding to the IoT device based on the update frequency, update time and IoT device configuration parameters.

[0070] Step 105: Send the update file to the IoT device, and notify the IoT device to perform update processing through the first information.

[0071] The IoT device update method provided in the embodiment of the present application can generate an update file corresponding to the IoT device according to the update strategy, and the server can also send the update file to the IoT device and notify the IoT device to perform update processing through the first information.

[0072] In this step, the first information may include but is not limited to messages obtained through App, email, or text message, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0074] In this step, the server may send the update file to the IoT device and notify the IoT device to perform update processing through the first information to improve the update efficiency of the IoT device.

[0075] Furthermore, the update file includes an update package and a configuration file. When sending the update file to the IoT device, the server can determine a preset push time according to a preset network condition; and send the update file to the IoT device based on the preset push time.

[0076] In this step, the preset network conditions may include but are not limited to faster network speed, higher network connection stability, lower packet loss rate, larger bandwidth, lower latency, smaller jitter, better signal coverage, and less noise interference, etc., which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0077] In this step, the preset push time can be the time when the update package is pushed when the network status is good, it can be a time period at night when fewer people use the network, or it can be a time period during the lunch break when the network is idle, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0078] In this step, the server can select the best network conditions and IoT device status to push updates, reducing network congestion and interruptions in IoT device usage.

[0079] Furthermore, in this step, after sending the update file to the IoT device and notifying the IoT device to perform update processing through the first information, the server can also receive the update result corresponding to the IoT device; based on the update result, adjust the update strategy to obtain the adjusted update strategy.

[0080] In this step, the update result may be an update result determined after the IoT device executes the update according to the update package, which may include an update success or an update failure, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0081] In this step, the process of adjusting the update strategy may include a process in which the IoT device adjusts the performance parameters of the IoT device according to the configuration file.

[0082] Among them, the server can optimize the update strategy according to the performance parameters of the adjusted IoT device and the user's feedback information to better provide users with personalized update strategies.
