[0040] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an application environment of the extended program update method provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The electronic device 100 and the server 200 are located in a network, and the electronic device 100 can be connected to the server 200 for communication to achieve data interaction between the electronic device 100 and the server 200. As a way, the electronic device 100 and the server 200 can be connected via WIFI, ZigBee, 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G, which is not limited here.

[0041] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a flow chart of an extended program update method provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The extended program update method can be applied to an electronic device, the electronic device is connected to a server for communication, and the server stores a first correspondence between a compressed file of the extended program and address information. The specific flow of this embodiment is described below by taking an electronic device as an example. Figure 3 The process shown in the figure is described in detail, and the extension program update method may specifically include the following steps:

[0042] Step 110: Obtain address information of the compressed file of the extension program to be updated.

[0043] The address information of the compressed file may be a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), which is not limited here. It should be noted that a URL is an address used to identify a file on the Internet.

[0044] In some implementations, when developing each version of the extension to be updated, the developer modifies the extension to be updated and modifies the version information in the configuration file of the source code of the extension to be updated. After completing the modification, the developer packages the extension to be updated, obtains a compressed file of the extension to be updated, and deploys the compressed file of the extension to be updated to the server. The compressed file of the extension to be updated can be a CRX file, which is not limited here. The CRX file is a compressed file format of the extension of the Google Chrome browser.

[0045] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the developer opens the "developer mode" in the browser extension interface and clicks the "package extension" control 211, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the "Packaging Extension Program Interface" is displayed, the directory where the extension program to be updated is located is input in the extension program input control 212, and the "Packaging Extension Program" control 213 is clicked. After packaging, the electronic device generates a compressed file of the extension program to be updated. If the extension program to be updated is packaged for the first time, the electronic device can also generate a key file for use when the extension program to be updated is packaged next time.

[0046] Step 120: Obtain the compressed file of the extension program to be updated from the server according to the address information of the compressed file of the extension program to be updated and the first corresponding relationship.

[0047] Step 130: updating the extension program to be updated according to the compressed file of the extension program to be updated.

[0048] In some implementations, the electronic device may download a compressed file of the latest extension program to be updated from the server, decompress the compressed file of the latest extension program to be updated, and replace the currently installed extension program to be updated.

[0049] In some embodiments, the server stores an access list, which includes Internet Protocol Addresses (IP) addresses of electronic devices that can access the server. These electronic devices are used by people within the enterprise. Therefore, electronic devices used by people outside the enterprise cannot obtain the compressed files of the extension program to be updated in the server, thereby ensuring that the extension program is only open to people within the enterprise and not to outsiders.

[0050] The method for updating an extension program provided by an embodiment of the present invention obtains address information of a compressed file of an extension program to be updated, obtains the compressed file of the extension program to be updated from a server according to the address information of the compressed file of the extension program to be updated and a first corresponding relationship, and updates the extension program to be updated according to the compressed file of the extension program to be updated. By using the corresponding relationship between the compressed file of the extension program stored on the server and the address information, the compressed file of the latest version of the extension program is obtained to update the extension program, thereby avoiding the limitation of the number of releases by the application store of the browser, limiting the update of the extension program, and developers can update the extension program at any time according to actual needs.

[0051] It is understandable that avoiding the browser's app store's restrictions on the number of releases makes it difficult for users to obtain the latest features and optimized content of the extension in real time, thereby improving user work efficiency. For people engaged in auditing business, using extensions with the latest features can help improve audit time.

[0052] In order to allow the extension to run in the browser, a whitelist is configured for the extension. The extension update method also includes: if the extension is installed on the browser for the first time, the identification information of the extension is added to the preset whitelist of the browser to allow the extension to run on the browser.

[0053] In some embodiments, the user turns on the developer mode of the browser and drags an extension to the browser interface. The browser detects that there is a newly installed extension and can generate identification information for the newly installed extension. The user inputs the identification information of the extension into the electronic device, and the electronic device can add the identification information of the extension to the browser's preset whitelist.

[0054] In order to facilitate the maintenance of the compressed files of the extension programs, the electronic device stores the address information of the update maintenance files corresponding to each extension program, and the server stores the second correspondence between the address information of the update maintenance files and the update maintenance files, such as Figure 5 As shown, step 110 specifically further includes the following steps:

[0055] Step 111: Acquire address information of the locally stored update maintenance file corresponding to the extension program to be updated.

[0056] The address information of the update and maintenance file may be a URL, which is not limited here.

[0057] In some implementations, the developer may replace the compressed file of the extension program to be updated stored in the server with the compressed file packaged according to the latest version of the extension program to be updated, and modify the version information in the corresponding update maintenance file to the latest version information.

[0058] In some implementations, a developer can write an image building file, and a server builds an image based on the image building file, and uses the built image to start a new container. To facilitate subsequent updates of the extension program, the files of the extension program to be updated deployed in the server (compressed files and update maintenance files) need to be associated and mapped with the corresponding files in the container, so that the content of the files associated and mapped with the container in the server can be subsequently updated, and the file content in the container can be synchronously updated. The electronic device can obtain the update maintenance file and the compressed file from the container according to the address information of the update maintenance file and the address information of the compressed file.

[0059] The server can associate and map the files of the extension program to be updated deployed in the server (including compressed files and update maintenance files) with the corresponding files in the container through the dockers command "-v".

[0060] For example, PATHA -v PATHB, where PATHA is the path of the file of the extension program to be updated deployed in the server, and PATHB is the path of the corresponding file in the container.

[0061] It can be understood that after the file in the server is updated, it is synchronized to the container through file mapping, and the compressed file of the extension program is provided to the browser running in the electronic device through the communication service in the container, thereby updating the extension program of the browser by updating the compressed file of the extension program in the server.

[0062] In some implementations, the address information of the update maintenance file is stored in a configuration file of the extension program to be updated. The electronic device can search for the locally stored configuration file of the extension program to be updated and obtain the address information of the corresponding update maintenance file from the configuration file.

[0063] For example, the content of the configuration file of the extension to be updated is as follows:

[0064]

[0065] In some implementations, the update maintenance file corresponding to the extension program to be updated also includes the latest version information of the extension program to be updated. The electronic device can obtain the latest version information of the extension program to be updated from the update maintenance file corresponding to the extension program to be updated. If the current version information of the extension program to be updated is different from the latest version information, the address information of the update maintenance file corresponding to the extension program to be updated stored locally is obtained.

[0066] In some implementations, a user list is stored inside the server, and the user list includes multiple user mailboxes. When a compressed file in the server is updated, the server sends an update notification to each user mailbox in the user list. The user who receives the update notification performs an update operation on the extension program interface. In response to the user's update operation on the extension program update interface, the address information of the update maintenance file corresponding to the extension program to be updated stored locally is obtained. Among them, the extension program update interface is an interactive interface for updating the extension program to be updated, such as Figure 6 shown.

[0067] Step 112: acquiring the update maintenance file corresponding to the extension program to be updated from the server according to the address information of the update maintenance file corresponding to the extension program to be updated and the second corresponding relationship.

[0068] Step 113: Acquire the address information of the compressed file of the extension program to be updated from the update maintenance file corresponding to the extension program to be updated.

[0069] The address information of the compressed file of the extension program to be updated may be a URL, which is not limited here.

[0070] For example, the specific contents of the update maintenance file are as follows:

[0071] app appid = `oggxxxxxmcak` / / extension program identification information

[0072] updatecheck codebase=`http: / / xxxxxxxx9` version=`1.0.1` / / Address information (codebase) and version information (version) of the compressed file of the extension to be updated.

[0073] In some embodiments, a resource file corresponding to each extension program is stored in the server, and the resource file includes an update maintenance file, a compressed file of the extension program, and an interface file. The interface file is configured with path information for obtaining the update maintenance file according to address information (update_url) of the update maintenance file, and path information for obtaining the update maintenance file according to address information (codebase) of the update maintenance file.

[0074] For example, the specific content of the interface file is as follows:

[0075] router.get(` / getUpdateFile`,async(ctx)=>{ / / Defines a routing processing function for HTTP GET requests, the path is ` / getUpdateFile`;

[0076] const path = `assets${baseUrl} / updates.xml`; / / Create a string variable

[0077] `path`, the value of the string variable `path` is the directory of the `assets` resource file plus the directory passed to the variable

[0078] `baseUrl` defines the address information of the updated maintenance file;

[0079] ctx.attachment(path); / / Instruct the browser to treat the received update maintenance file as an attachment;

[0080] await send(ctx,path);

[0081] } / / Define an interface to respond to the acquisition request of the browser running in the electronic device and download the update maintenance file located in the directory of the resource file of the extension program;

[0082] router.get(` / getUpdateCrx`,async(ctx)=>{ / Defines a routing processing function for HTTP GET requests, the path is ` / getUpdateCrx`;

[0083] const path=`assets${baseUrl} / xxx.crx`; / Create a string variable `path`, the value of which is the directory of the `assets` resource file plus the address information of the compressed file of the extension program defined by the variable `baseUrl`;

[0084] ctx.attachment(path); / / defines an interface to respond to the acquisition request of the browser running in the electronic device and download the compressed file of the extension program located in the directory of the resource file of the extension program;

[0085] await send(ctx,path);

[0086] } / / Defines an interface to respond to a request from a browser running in an electronic device to download a compressed file of an extension program located in the directory of the extension program's resource files.
