AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When updating applications, the existing technology requires downloading a complete new version of the installation file, resulting in large traffic consumption and reducing user experience.

Method used

Through the file reuse method, differential friendly files and incremental files are used to reduce the amount of data to be transferred and improve application update efficiency. The specific steps include: the first device receives the file information of the second device, determines the target file and the incremental file, and sends the incremental file and the file information to the second device.

Benefits of technology

It reduces the amount of data transmitted during the version update process, reduces traffic consumption, improves application update efficiency, and improves user experience.

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a file multiplexing method and a communication device. The method comprises the steps that first equipment receives first file information from second equipment; the first device determines at least one target file according to a first differential friendly file and first file information of a to-be-updated first application in the second device; and the first device determines at least one incremental file according to the at least one target file, a second differential friendly file of the first application and the first differential friendly file, and sends the at least one incremental file and second file information to the second device. By adopting the method, the first device can determine the at least one incremental file based on the first file information from the second device, so that the second device can determine the first differential friendly file by multiplexing the stored file, the amount of data transmitted in the file updating process is reduced, the flow consumption is reduced, and the application updating efficiency is improved.
