Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of firmware upgrade, and particularly to a firmware upgrade method, a gateway device, an electronic device, and a readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Bluetooth Mesh technology has a networking function and can perform centralized control and management of a large number of Bluetooth Mesh devices. However, due to the small amount of data transmitted in a single Bluetooth Mesh network transmission, it takes a long time to use mesh to transmit the upgrade package to upgrade the device. During the upgrade process, it occupies network transmission, seriously affecting common operations such as normal device control and intelligent configuration, and the user experience is poor. Therefore, the feasibility of this solution is low. Other Bluetooth device upgrade solutions rely on manual point-to-point upgrades of individual Bluetooth devices. This method is feasible when the number of devices is small, but in a Bluetooth Mesh network, the number of devices is often large, dozens or even hundreds of devices. In this case, the efficiency of manual upgrade is greatly reduced. It also takes a lot of time to find the device to be upgraded, connect the device for upgrade. Compared with the Mesh transmission upgrade package method, this solution has a greater improvement in data transmission efficiency, but it is also unable to cope when faced with a large-scale Mesh network device.

[0046] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the firmware upgrade method, gateway device, electronic device, and readable storage medium provided by the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners. It can be understood that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0047] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the present application are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order. In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but optionally further includes steps or units not listed, or optionally further includes other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0048] Since the amount of data transmitted in a single time in the existing Bluetooth Mesh network is small, it takes a long time to upgrade the device by using mesh to transmit the upgrade package, and the network transmission is occupied during the upgrade process, seriously affecting common operations such as normal device control and intelligent configuration, resulting in poor user experience. At the same time, other Bluetooth device upgrade solutions rely on manual single-connection point-to-point upgrade of Bluetooth devices, which can only support a small number of device networks and cannot meet the upgrade requirements of large-scale Bluetooth Mesh network devices.

[0049] Therefore, the present application provides a firmware upgrade method to improve the transmission efficiency of the upgrade package and the device upgrade efficiency in the Bluetooth Mesh network. Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a schematic flowchart of an embodiment of the firmware upgrade method of the present application.

[0050] Among them, the execution subject of the firmware upgrade method of the present application can be a Bluetooth Mesh intelligent lighting system, and the Bluetooth Mesh intelligent lighting system includes a gateway device and at least two Bluetooth devices. The gateway device is used to control the upgrade management of the Bluetooth devices. In some possible implementation manners, the firmware upgrade method can also be implemented by a processor calling computer-readable instructions stored in a memory.

[0051] Optionally, the gateway device of the present application can be as Figure 5 shown, Figure 5It is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the gateway device of the present application. The gateway device 50 in this embodiment includes an acquisition module 51 and a sending module 52, and the acquisition module 51 is signal-connected to the sending module 52.

[0052] Specifically, the acquisition module 51 is used to acquire a firmware upgrade package, and the firmware upgrade package is used to upgrade the Bluetooth devices in the Bluetooth Mesh intelligent lighting system.

[0053] The sending module 52 is used to send an upgrade signal to at least two Bluetooth devices, so that the two Bluetooth devices switch to the upgrade mode.

[0054] The acquisition module 51 is further used to acquire a target Bluetooth device among at least two Bluetooth devices, so as to realize a signal connection between the gateway device and the target Bluetooth device.

[0055] The sending module 52 is further used to send the firmware upgrade package to the target Bluetooth device; in response to the firmware upgrade package belonging to the target Bluetooth device, the target Bluetooth device uses the firmware upgrade package to complete the firmware upgrade; in response to the firmware upgrade package not belonging to the target Bluetooth device, the target Bluetooth device switches from the upgrade mode to the service mode, where the target Bluetooth device sends the firmware upgrade package to other Bluetooth devices in the upgrade mode in the service mode, so that other Bluetooth devices complete the firmware upgrade in the way of OTA (Over The Air) fission.

[0056] Specifically, the firmware upgrade method of the embodiment of the present disclosure may include the following steps:

[0057] Step S11: Acquire a firmware upgrade package, and send an upgrade signal to at least two Bluetooth devices through the gateway device, so that the two Bluetooth devices switch to the upgrade mode.

[0058] Wherein, when the Bluetooth device is in the upgrade mode, it turns on Bluetooth broadcasting, so that the gateway device or other Bluetooth devices can receive the broadcast packet sent by the Bluetooth device, and further enables it to be discovered by other devices in the same Bluetooth Mesh network. Further, the upgrade signal in this embodiment may specifically be an operation instruction sent by the gateway device.

[0059] Optionally, the firmware upgrade package in this embodiment may be the lighting system firmware upgrade package and firmware upgrade service obtained by the gateway device through the APP. After the firmware upgrade package is acquired, the gateway device is no longer associated with the lighting system service system.

[0060] Step S12: Acquire a target Bluetooth device among at least two Bluetooth devices, control the target Bluetooth device to establish a signal connection with the gateway device, and acquire the firmware upgrade package through the gateway device.

[0061] Among them, since there are at least two Bluetooth devices in the same Bluetooth Mesh network, the gateway device needs to perform multiple scans to obtain the device information of all Bluetooth devices, and then obtain the target Bluetooth device among at least two Bluetooth devices based on the device information.

[0062] After the gateway device determines the target Bluetooth device, it establishes a signal connection with the target Bluetooth device via Bluetooth, which facilitates the gateway device to send data to the target Bluetooth device, that is, it facilitates the gateway device to send a firmware upgrade package to the target Bluetooth device.

[0063] Optionally, the present application also provides another embodiment for implementing step S12 to determine the target Bluetooth device connected to the gateway device, and then send the firmware upgrade package received by the gateway device to the target Bluetooth device. Please continue to refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 is Figure 1 the specific flowchart of step S12 in

[0064] Step S121: Use the gateway device to perform a scan operation on at least two Bluetooth devices to obtain the Bluetooth signal strength of at least two Bluetooth devices.

[0065] Among them, the scan operation in this embodiment is performed multiple times until the gateway device obtains the device information of all Bluetooth devices in the Bluetooth Mesh network, and the Bluetooth signal strength corresponding to each Bluetooth device can be determined based on the device information of each Bluetooth device.

[0066] Step S122: Obtain the Bluetooth device with the strongest Bluetooth signal strength among at least two Bluetooth devices, and use the Bluetooth device as the target Bluetooth device.

[0067] Among them, after determining the Bluetooth signal strength of all Bluetooth devices based on step S121, the Bluetooth device with the strongest Bluetooth signal strength is used as the target Bluetooth device. Optionally, the strongest Bluetooth signal strength can be determined by sorting all Bluetooth signal strengths; or, any two Bluetooth signal strengths are compared, and the one with stronger Bluetooth signal strength is compared with other Bluetooth signal strengths until the strongest Bluetooth signal strength is determined.

[0068] Step S123: Control the gateway device to establish a signal connection with the target Bluetooth device to transmit the firmware upgrade package to the target Bluetooth device via Bluetooth.

[0069] Among them, after determining the target Bluetooth device based on step S122, the gateway device establishes a signal connection with the target Bluetooth device via Bluetooth, and then transmits the firmware upgrade package to the target Bluetooth device via Bluetooth.

[0070] Optionally, after determining the target Bluetooth device, it is necessary to further perform an authorization judgment on the target Bluetooth device. The specific judgment steps are as shown in steps S21 - S23 below: Step S21: In response to determining that the target Bluetooth device has completed a signal connection with the gateway device, obtain the authentication information of the target Bluetooth device; Step S22: Based on the authentication information, confirm that the Bluetooth device is an authorized device, and control the gateway device to transmit the firmware upgrade package to the target Bluetooth device; Step S23: Alternatively, based on the authentication information, confirm that the Bluetooth device is an unauthorized device, and control the gateway device to disconnect from the target Bluetooth device.

[0071] Among them, step S22 or step S23 is executed based on the authorization judgment result. By performing an authorization judgment on the target Bluetooth device, it is possible to determine that the Bluetooth device to be upgraded is the target Bluetooth device in the Bluetooth Mesh network, realizing targeted upgrading.

[0072] Optionally, after the target Bluetooth device of this embodiment receives the firmware upgrade package, it is necessary to perform an integrity check on the firmware upgrade package, and after determining that the firmware upgrade package is correct and complete, make a further attribution judgment on the firmware upgrade package.

[0073] After the target Bluetooth device of this embodiment receives the firmware upgrade package, it is necessary to perform data analysis on the firmware upgrade package to determine whether it belongs to itself and to determine which functional module of itself is to be upgraded with the firmware. Specifically, when it is determined that the firmware upgrade package belongs to the target Bluetooth device, step S13 is executed; when it is determined that the firmware upgrade package does not belong to the target Bluetooth device, step S14 is executed.

[0074] Step S13: In response to the firmware upgrade package belonging to the target Bluetooth device, control the target Bluetooth device to complete the firmware upgrade using the firmware upgrade package.

[0075] Among them, when it is determined that the firmware upgrade package belongs to the target Bluetooth device, control the target Bluetooth device to perform firmware upgrade on the target functional module using the firmware upgrade package.

[0076] Optionally, the present application also provides another embodiment for implementing step S13 to control the target Bluetooth device to complete the firmware upgrade using the firmware upgrade package. Please continue to refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 Yes Figure 1 is the specific process schematic diagram of step S13 in

[0077] Step S131: In response to the target Bluetooth device receiving the firmware upgrade package, perform data parsing on the firmware upgrade package to obtain the header data of the firmware upgrade package.

[0078] Among them, when the target Bluetooth device receives the firmware upgrade package, it is necessary to perform data analysis on the firmware upgrade package. Specifically, the target Bluetooth device parses the data of the firmware upgrade package to obtain the header data of the firmware upgrade package.

[0079] Step S132: Use the header data to determine the target module of the target Bluetooth device to complete the firmware upgrade of the target module.

[0080] Among them, the target Bluetooth device further analyzes the header data obtained in step S131. Specifically, it parses the header data according to the protocol specification, extracts specific upgrade instructions or data blocks, and then determines the target module of the target Bluetooth device to complete the firmware upgrade of the target module.

[0081] Step S14: In response to the firmware upgrade package not belonging to the target Bluetooth device, control the target Bluetooth device to switch from the upgrade mode to the service mode.

[0082] Among them, the target Bluetooth device in the service mode of this embodiment sends the firmware upgrade package to other Bluetooth devices in the upgrade mode, so that other Bluetooth devices can complete the firmware upgrade in the way of OTA fission.

[0083] Specifically, for the fission of Bluetooth devices, a gateway device needs to send a control command to enable the fission function. After receiving the fission instruction, the target Bluetooth device starts a broadcast packet containing OTA specific information. Among them, the OTA (Over The Air) fission broadcast packet broadcasts the unique identification code under this gateway device, such as netkey, etc. To ensure that all Bluetooth devices receive it, the target Bluetooth device can send it multiple times repeatedly.

[0084] When the target Bluetooth device receives OTA data, it must first process the OTA packet header information, and the packet header needs to be stored in the flash. After receiving all the OTA data, the target Bluetooth device itself restarts first. After restarting, it reads the fission flag in the flash. If the flag is true, it starts to fission. First, it sends the OTA packet header, and then sends the OTA data.

[0085] When the target Bluetooth device finishes receiving the OTA packet header, it judges the field value. If the value is true, it scans other Bluetooth devices in any broadcast network belonging to the gateway around it, that is, other Bluetooth devices in the Bluetooth Mesh network, establishes a connection with them, and sends the OTA data packet. After the Bluetooth device receiving the OTA data establishes a gatt connection, it stops the OTA broadcast packet. After receiving the firmware package, it starts to scan the surrounding OTA broadcasts as the master device. For example, when upgrading the firmware of device A currently, but the distance between A and the adjacent A is too far, device B between them can be used to upgrade. That is, A first sends the firmware to B, and after B receives the firmware of A and stores it, it forwards it to another A device.

[0086] During the OTA fission process, the Bluetooth devices that broadcast OTA data gradually decrease. After the fission is completed, the sub-devices of this gateway will all stop OTA broadcasting, that is, when all Bluetooth devices in the Bluetooth Mesh network have received the firmware upgrade package and completed the firmware upgrade, the OTA fission stops.

[0087] Optionally, the present application also provides another embodiment for implementing step S14 to enable the target Bluetooth device to control other Bluetooth devices to perform firmware upgrades. Please continue to refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 is Figure 1 the specific process schematic diagram of step S14 in

[0088] Step S141: In response to the firmware upgrade package not belonging to the target Bluetooth device, control the target Bluetooth device to switch from the upgrade mode to the service mode, and use the target Bluetooth device to scan other Bluetooth devices in the upgrade mode to obtain the Bluetooth signal strength of other Bluetooth devices.

[0089] Among them, when it is determined that the firmware upgrade package does not belong to the target Bluetooth device, it means that the target Bluetooth device does not need to perform firmware upgrade. Therefore, control the target Bluetooth device to switch from the upgrade mode to the service mode, and the target Bluetooth device in the service mode will no longer request firmware upgrade.

[0090] At the same time, as a sub-gateway device, the target Bluetooth device scans other Bluetooth devices in the upgrade mode to obtain the Bluetooth signal strength of other Bluetooth devices. Among them, the specific operation steps are similar to those of step S121 and will not be elaborated here.

[0091] Step S142: Obtain the Bluetooth device with the strongest Bluetooth signal strength among other Bluetooth devices, and use the Bluetooth device as the second target Bluetooth device.

[0092] Among them, in this embodiment, the Bluetooth device with the strongest Bluetooth signal strength obtained in step S141 is used as the second target Bluetooth device. The specific operation steps are similar to those of step S122 and will not be elaborated here.

[0093] Step S143: Control the target Bluetooth device to establish a signal connection with the second target Bluetooth device, and transmit the firmware upgrade package received by the target Bluetooth device to the second target Bluetooth device through Bluetooth, so that the second target Bluetooth device can complete the firmware upgrade using the firmware upgrade package.

[0094] After determining the second target Bluetooth device based on step S142, the target Bluetooth device establishes a signal connection with the second target Bluetooth device via Bluetooth, and then transmits the firmware upgrade package received by the target Bluetooth device to the second target Bluetooth device via Bluetooth, so that the second target Bluetooth device completes the firmware upgrade by using the firmware upgrade package. Among them, the specific steps for the second target Bluetooth device to complete the firmware upgrade using the firmware upgrade package are similar to those in step S13, and will not be elaborated here.

[0095] Optionally, in another embodiment, after executing step S13, that is, when the target Bluetooth device completes the firmware upgrade, the control gateway device disconnects from the target Bluetooth device, and controls the target Bluetooth device to switch from the upgrade mode to the service mode. Therefore, the target Bluetooth device that has completed the firmware upgrade operation can be used as a new sub-gateway device to perform firmware upgrades on other Bluetooth devices in the Bluetooth Mesh network.

[0096] In addition to using the gateway device to perform firmware upgrades on the target Bluetooth device, this application can also use the OTA fission method to perform firmware upgrades on the target Bluetooth device through any Bluetooth device until the firmware upgrades of all Bluetooth devices in the Bluetooth Mesh network are completed, effectively improving the transmission efficiency of the firmware upgrade package and the upgrade efficiency of Bluetooth devices.
