For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection or an integral connection; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and it may be the internal communication of two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0028] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the present invention are used to distinguish similar objects, rather than to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present invention can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are usually of the same category, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or multiple. In addition, "and / or" means at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.

[0029] The following will describe Figures 1-6 the method, device, electronic device, and storage medium for application upgrade of the terminal device provided by the present invention.

[0030] The present invention first provides a terminal device application upgrade system, as Figure 1 shown. The system includes a cloud, multiple edge nodes, and multiple terminal devices. Each edge node is located in a different area. The cloud is communicatively connected to each edge node, and each edge node is communicatively connected to each terminal device in its area.

[0031] Among them, the edge node is a server running in a certain area, which is used to manage the terminal devices in its area, communicate with the cloud, report the data of local terminal devices to the cloud, and receive tasks issued by the cloud. The terminal device is an independent device scattered in different areas, such as smart devices, dedicated devices, etc. The terminal device does not directly communicate with the cloud and is managed by the edge node where it is located.

[0032] The cloud is mainly responsible for managing all edge nodes, terminal devices, and application programs, mainly including life cycle management, status management, and application program versions, etc. The application program refers to the application program running on the terminal device, including software program packages, data parameter configurations, AI models, etc. The application programs in different terminal devices are different, such as the AI model in a smart camera, the firmware in a quality inspection device, a lightweight container image, etc. The life cycle management is to manage the creation, maintenance, change, offline, and destruction of edge nodes, terminal devices, and application programs in the system; the status management is to monitor and manage the running status of edge nodes and terminal devices, such as normal, offline, faulty, etc.; the version management mainly refers to the management of different versions of application programs, including the management of different version program packages.

[0033] Edge nodes are mainly used to cooperate with the cloud to jointly manage local terminal devices, including receiving application upgrade tasks sent by the cloud, reporting the status of terminal devices to the cloud, controlling the operation of local terminal devices, and application management operations, etc. It can automatically complete the management of local devices without the participation of the cloud, sharing the access pressure on the cloud in the case of massive terminal device access. Edge nodes are mainly deployed in independent and secure areas such as workshops and industrial parks, which can further ensure data security and reduce the risk of sensitive data leakage.

[0034] Edge nodes have digital twin models of each terminal device in the area where they are located. The digital twin models can synchronously store data such as the basic attributes, physical hardware, operating system, application programs, lightweight agents, and running status of local terminal devices. The basic attributes mainly refer to attributes such as device name, serial number, device type, location, maintainer, and manufacturer; the physical hardware mainly includes processors, memory, hard disks, network cards, graphics acceleration cards, cameras, etc.; the operating system refers to the operating system running on the terminal device, such as Linux, Ubuntu, Windows 10, Kylin OS, etc.; the application programs are the applications installed and running on the terminal device, including the program packages of the applications, application versions, installation locations, installation times, parameter configurations, etc.; the lightweight agent is a proxy program installed on the terminal device, used to interact with the edge node and manage the terminal device itself, such as operation and maintenance monitoring, application management, etc.; the running status is the running status of the terminal device reported by the lightweight agent to the edge node, such as power-on / off status, CPU utilization rate, memory utilization rate, disk utilization rate, etc. In addition, the digital twin model also stores the historical records of application upgrades, enabling traceability and rollback of the upgrade process.

[0035] The lightweight agent runs on the terminal device. On the one hand, it monitors the operation of the terminal device and reports it to the edge node. On the other hand, it manages the system environment of the terminal device, such as application upgrade, application uninstallation, security repair, etc.

[0036] Through the collaborative mechanism of the cloud-edge-terminal, the present invention solves the problem of the access device quantity bottleneck caused by traditional centralized device management and can support the access of tens of millions of heterogeneous devices. In addition, by centrally managing terminal devices and application programs in the cloud, the present invention solves the problem of difficult matching between devices and applications caused by traditional separate management of devices and applications, ensuring the correctness of application upgrade operations.

[0037] Before upgrading the application to be upgraded on the upgrading terminal device, the cloud first formulates an upgrade plan, which includes a description of the specific requirements for the application upgrade, including the list of target terminal devices, the upgraded application, the specific version, and the upgrade time, etc. Before formulating the upgrade plan, it is necessary to first create the application to be upgraded on the cloud, including information such as the application name, application type, development manufacturer, version number, program package (not limited to software installation packages, but also other types such as AI models, configuration files, container images, etc.), applicable devices, and version introduction. After the upgrade plan is created, the cloud sends the terminal application upgrade task and the upgrade program package to the edge node where the terminal device to be upgraded is located according to the upgrade requirement description through the network.

[0038] As Figure 2 shown, the terminal device application upgrade method applied to the edge node where the terminal device to be upgraded is located provided by the present invention includes steps S1 - S4.

[0039] Step S1, receive the upgrade information sent by the cloud.

[0040] Among them, the upgrade information may include an upgrade task and an upgrade program package.

[0041] Step S2, update the configuration information of the digital twin model of the terminal device to be upgraded according to the upgrade information.

[0042] Among them, the configuration information of the digital twin model mainly includes application parameters, and the application parameters further include the program package of the application, the application version, the installation location, the installation time, the parameter configuration, etc.

[0043] Step S3, if the terminal device to be upgraded is abnormal, after the terminal device to be upgraded returns to normal, synchronize the configuration information of the digital twin model to the terminal device to be upgraded.

[0044] Among them, the abnormality of the terminal device to be upgraded includes the offline of the terminal device to be upgraded, and at this time, the upgrade cannot be completed. The return to normal of the terminal device to be upgraded includes the return to online of the terminal device to be upgraded. It can be understood that synchronizing the configuration information of the digital twin model to the terminal device to be upgraded eliminates the need to restart the upgrade process to update the configuration information of the terminal device to be upgraded.

[0045] Step S4, send the upgrade information to the lightweight agent of the terminal device to be upgraded, so that the lightweight agent upgrades the application to be upgraded on the terminal device to be upgraded.

[0046] Among them, the lightweight proxy is a lightweight resident application running on the terminal device, mainly solving problems such as inconsistent interfaces of heterogeneous terminals and difficult management and control. The lightweight proxy realizes a unified externally open interface by shielding the differential details of heterogeneous terminals. By establishing a network connection of the control plane with the edge node, it can detect the running state of the terminal device and report it to the edge node without affecting the normal operation of the terminal device and ensuring the security policy, and at the same time receive the task request of the edge node for autonomous processing.

[0047] As Figure 3 shown, the terminal device application upgrade method applied to the terminal device to be upgraded provided by the present invention includes step S5-step S6.

[0048] Step S5, receiving the upgrade information sent by the edge node; Step S6, using the lightweight proxy to upgrade the application to be upgraded based on the upgrade information.

[0049] As can be seen from the above, the terminal device application upgrade method of the present invention updates the configuration information of the terminal device digital twin model according to the upgrade information when the current upgrade of the terminal device application is abnormal, and synchronizes the configuration information of the digital twin model to the terminal device after the terminal device returns to normal, so that there is no need to restart the upgrade process to update the configuration information of the terminal device during the next upgrade, improving the upgrade efficiency of the terminal device application. In addition, for a large number of heterogeneous terminal devices, the differences of heterogeneous terminal devices can be shielded through the lightweight proxy, and the consistent operation of application upgrade is realized through the unified open interface, providing support for the upgrade of diversified applications and reducing the difficulty of terminal device application upgrade management caused by heterogeneous terminal devices and diversified applications.

[0050] Of course, if the terminal device to be upgraded is normal during this upgrade, the upgrade information can be directly sent to the lightweight proxy of the terminal device to be upgraded for application upgrade. Therefore, after step S2, the terminal device application upgrade method of the present invention may further include: If the terminal device to be upgraded is normal, the upgrade information is sent to the lightweight proxy.

[0051] In this way, the application upgrade can be directly completed when the terminal device to be upgraded is normal.

[0052] In some embodiments, step S2 of the present invention may further include: Verifying the upgrade information; If the upgrade information passes the verification, the configuration information of the digital twin model is updated according to the upgrade information; Among them, verifying the upgrade information includes, but is not limited to: excluding non-local terminal devices in the upgrade information, determining whether the upgrade package in the upgrade information is compatible with the terminal device to be upgraded, determining whether the application to be upgraded has been installed on the terminal device to be upgraded, determining whether the current version of the application to be upgraded is lower than the version of the upgrade package, determining whether the application to be upgraded is compatible with the upgrade package, and determining whether the upgrade package has been tampered with or damaged.

[0053] Among them, the purpose of the edge node verifying the upgrade information is to determine whether the application upgrade task request is legal. Specifically, the list of target terminal devices in the upgrade task content can be checked, and non-locally managed terminal devices can be excluded from the list; determine whether the upgrade package in the upgrade information is compatible with the terminal device to be upgraded, specifically, determine whether the hardware, operating system, driver, etc. of the terminal device to be upgraded support the upgrade package; perform integrity verification on the upgrade package to check whether it has been tampered with or damaged during transmission, and algorithms such as MD5 and SHA-256 can be used to achieve this. For upgrade tasks that fail the verification, the edge node will feedback information such as application incompatibility and damaged application upgrade package to the cloud.

[0054] The edge node verifying the upgrade information can ensure the success of the application upgrade and avoid upgrade failures.

[0055] In some embodiments, when the present invention determines whether the upgrade package has been tampered with or damaged, it may further include: Place the upgrade package in the first storage location, use the first computing tool to calculate the first actual check value of the upgrade package in the first storage location, and copy the first actual check value to the first comparison document; Obtain the standard check value provided by the cloud for the upgrade package, open the first comparison document, and determine whether the standard check value is consistent with the first actual check value in the first comparison document; If the standard check value is consistent with the first actual check value, it is determined that the upgrade package has not been tampered with or damaged; If the standard check value is inconsistent with the first actual check value, place the upgrade package in the second storage location, use the second computing tool to calculate the second actual check value of the upgrade package in the second storage location, and copy the second actual check value to the second comparison document; Open the second comparison document, and compare whether the standard check value is consistent with the second actual check value in the second comparison document; If the standard check value is consistent with the second actual check value, it is determined that the upgrade package has not been tampered with or damaged; if the standard check value is partially inconsistent with the second actual check value, it is determined that the upgrade package is damaged; if the standard check value is completely inconsistent with the second actual check value, it is determined that the upgrade package has been tampered with.

[0056] Among them, when the standard verification value is consistent with the first actual verification value, it means that the first verification is passed, proving that the upgrade package has not been tampered with or damaged; when the standard verification value is inconsistent with the first actual verification value, it means that the first verification fails. The reason may be that the upgrade package has been tampered with or damaged, or the first verification is incorrect, including verification failure due to abnormal storage location of the upgrade package or abnormal calculation tool used. It is necessary to perform repeated verification through the second verification, using a new storage location and a new calculation tool.

[0057] If the standard verification value is consistent with the second actual verification value, it means that the first verification is incorrect and the second verification is passed. It can be considered that the upgrade package has not been tampered with or damaged; if the standard verification value is partially consistent and partially inconsistent with the second actual verification value, the possibility of the upgrade package being damaged during download is relatively high; if the standard verification value is completely inconsistent with the second actual verification value, the possibility of the upgrade package being tampered with is greater.

[0058] The present invention can eliminate the possibility of single verification failure due to abnormal storage location of the upgrade package or abnormal calculation tool used through the verification of two verification values, improve the reliability of judging whether the upgrade package has been tampered with or damaged, and can accurately judge whether the upgrade package has been tampered with or damaged through the consistency between the standard verification value and the second actual verification value after two verification failures, and can determine the specific problems of the upgrade package.

[0059] In some embodiments, after step S3, the terminal device application upgrade method of the present invention may further include: If the application to be upgraded is a container image, the edge node is a control node, and the terminal device to be upgraded is a cluster composed of container nodes, then directly upgrade the container image based on the upgrade information.

[0060] Most applications of the present invention need to be upgraded through a lightweight proxy. For example, in a container environment on a terminal device without cluster management, the lightweight proxy is responsible for installation, mainly including pulling the mirror file from the edge node and interacting with the container environment (such as docker, containerd, etc.) to complete mirror installation. For container image applications, if the edge node is used as the container cluster control node and the terminal device is used as a container node in a small container cluster, after the digital twin model is updated, the container application scheduling can be performed by the cluster controller on the edge node, and there is no need to install through a lightweight proxy, such as K8S, K3S, etc.

[0061] In this way, when the application to be upgraded is a container image, the edge node can directly perform the upgrade without passing through a lightweight proxy, which can improve the upgrade management efficiency of container applications.

[0062] In some embodiments, in step S6 of the present invention, upgrading the application to be upgraded based on the upgrade information may further include: Verifying the upgrade information; If the upgrade information passes the verification, upgrading the application to be upgraded based on the upgrade information; Among them, verifying the upgrade information includes, but is not limited to: determining whether the upgrade content in the upgrade information is consistent with the actual environment of the terminal device to be upgraded, determining whether the digital twin model of the terminal device to be upgraded is consistent with the configuration information of the terminal device to be upgraded, and determining whether the upgrade package has been tampered with or damaged.

[0063] The lightweight proxy verifies the upgrade information, mainly for verifying the upgrade content, the digital twin model configuration and the actual environment of the terminal device, mainly verifying whether the upgrade content, the digital twin model configuration and the actual environment of the terminal device are consistent, including the application name, application version, installation location, etc. For inconsistent situations, the lightweight proxy feedbacks to the digital twin model of the edge node for inspection. The digital twin model comprehensively evaluates the feedback content of the lightweight proxy and the model configuration content, updates the model configuration according to the feedback content, and synchronizes it to the cloud, and then issues an upgrade request to the terminal device lightweight proxy again. The feedback content mainly includes the application name, application version, installation location, parameter configuration, etc. actually running in the terminal device. Similarly, the lightweight proxy also needs to pull the upgrade package from the edge node for integrity check to check whether it has been tampered with or damaged during the transmission process, mainly implemented by algorithms such as MD5 and SHA-256.

[0064] The lightweight proxy's verification of the upgrade information can ensure the successful upgrade of the application and avoid upgrade failures.

[0065] Step S6 of the present invention can upgrade the application to be upgraded based on the upgrade information at any time, but upgrading when the resource occupancy rate of the terminal device to be upgraded is high will affect the normal operation of the business of the terminal device to be upgraded.

[0066] To reduce the impact of application upgrade on the business of the terminal device, in step S6, upgrading the application to be upgraded based on the upgrade information may further include: Obtaining the resource occupancy rate of the terminal device to be upgraded; When the resource occupancy rate is lower than the preset threshold, upgrading the application to be upgraded based on the upgrade information.

[0067] Among them, the resource occupancy rate of the terminal device to be upgraded being lower than the preset threshold means that the resource occupancy rate of the terminal device to be upgraded is low, and upgrading at this time can reduce the impact on the business of the terminal device.

[0068] In some embodiments, in step S6 of the present invention, upgrading the application to be upgraded based on the upgrade information may further include: Back up the parameter configuration file of the application to be upgraded; Install the upgrade package in the upgrade information; Overwrite the backed-up parameter configuration file to the specified directory; Perform restart control on the upgraded application according to the restart rule in the upgrade information.

[0069] Specifically, when the lightweight proxy upgrades the application, it first backs up the existing application installation environment, especially the parameter configuration file of the application (specified in the cloud), then installs the program package of the application to be upgraded, including decompressing the specified directory, installation script, installation files, etc., and finally overwrites the backed-up parameter configuration file to the specified directory to complete the configuration replacement. After the upgrade is completed, restart control is performed on the upgraded application according to the restart rule specified in the upgrade content. The restart rule includes immediate restart, specified time, and no restart. After the upgrade is completed, the lightweight proxy will notify the edge node of the application upgrade completion status and update the application upgrade status and key configuration information to the digital twin model.

[0070] As Figure 4 shown, the terminal device application upgrade device applied to the edge node where the terminal device to be upgraded is located provided by the present invention includes: A first receiving module, configured to receive the upgrade information sent by the cloud; An update module, configured to update the configuration information of the digital twin model of the terminal device to be upgraded according to the upgrade information; A synchronization module, configured to synchronize the configuration information of the digital twin model to the terminal device to be upgraded after the terminal device to be upgraded returns to normal if the terminal device to be upgraded is abnormal; A sending module, configured to send the upgrade information to the lightweight proxy of the terminal device to be upgraded, so that the lightweight proxy upgrades the application to be upgraded of the terminal device to be upgraded.

[0071] The sending module of the present invention may also be used for: If the terminal device to be upgraded is normal, send the upgrade information to the lightweight proxy.

[0072] The update module of the present invention may specifically be used for: Verify the upgrade information; If the upgrade information passes the verification, update the configuration information of the digital twin model according to the upgrade information; Among them, verifying the upgrade information includes, but is not limited to: excluding non-local terminal devices in the upgrade information, determining whether the upgrade package in the upgrade information is compatible with the terminal device to be upgraded, determining whether the application to be upgraded has been installed on the terminal device to be upgraded, determining whether the current version of the application to be upgraded is lower than the version of the upgrade package, determining whether the application to be upgraded is compatible with the upgrade package, and determining whether the upgrade package has been tampered with or damaged.
