Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular, to a method, device, equipment, medium and product for terminal upgrade. Background Art

[0002] Terminal upgrade is a key link to ensure continuous update of device functions, performance optimization and security vulnerability repair. Against the backdrop of rapidly evolving technology, upgrading terminal software or firmware is crucial for enhancing the user experience, system stability and security.

[0003] Traditional terminal device upgrades can only be carried out manually. Manual upgrades are time-consuming and laborious, requiring one device after another to be located. It may only be possible to complete the upgrade of two or three devices in a day, resulting in low upgrade efficiency and high labor costs. In response to this, some manufacturers have developed separate upgrade modules, which are installed in specific locations to upgrade the devices. For example, upgrade gateways are installed at bus depots to upgrade the devices entering the depot. However, although this method is effective for upgrading terminals with fixed patterns, it will introduce new equipment and installation and maintenance costs, and is too dependent on the gateway.

[0031] Embodiment 1

[0032] Figure 1 It is a flowchart of a terminal upgrade method provided by Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the situation of remotely and automatically upgrading multiple terminal devices. This method can be executed by a terminal upgrade device, and the terminal upgrade device can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software.

[0033] As Figure 1 shown, the method includes:

[0034] S101. Determine the target terminal, and establish a local area network with the target terminal as the core.

[0035] In this embodiment, the target terminal can be understood as a terminal device that turns on the hotspot and serves as the upgrade host. The terminal device can be, for example, a terminal vehicle.

[0036] Specifically, determine the reference device that turns on the hotspot from multiple terminal devices, and then determine the only target terminal that meets the core conditions from at least one reference device. With the target terminal as the core, establish a local area network based on the hotspot of the target terminal, so that other terminal devices can access the local area network, and further realize the upgrade of each terminal device.

[0037] S102. Identify the access time of the current terminal device accessing the local area network and the version tree of the current terminal device.

[0038] In this embodiment, the current terminal device can be understood as the terminal device that accesses the local area network among all terminals. Figure 2 It is a connection diagram of a local area network provided by Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As Figure 2As shown, C0 is the target terminal, and C1, C2, C3, and C4 are all current terminal devices accessing the local area network. The access time can be understood as the time when the current terminal device accesses the local area network. The version tree can be understood as the set of version information corresponding to each software module and hardware module on the current terminal device. Each branch node in the version tree corresponds to the version information of a module. The version tree includes at least: the version information of the software module and the version information of the hardware module; the software module at least includes: the loader module, the universal bootloader (uboot) module, the kernel module, the root file system (rootfs) module, the system data (sysdata) module, the algorithm data (algdata) module, and the application program (APP) module; the hardware module at least includes: the positioning (Global Positioning System, GPS) module, the mobile communication (Fourth Generation Mobile Network, 4G) module, the Bluetooth module, and the wireless local area network (WiFi) module; the version information of the software module at least includes: the module name, the project number, the chip manufacturer, the chip type, and the version time; the version information of the hardware module at least includes: the module name, the chip manufacturer, the chip type, and the version number.

[0039] Specifically, there are several terminal devices. Each terminal device defaults to enabling the function of searching for WiFi upgrade hotspots. These terminal devices have pre-stored configuration information, or have connected to the same local area network before, or are of the same type as the target terminal. When these terminal devices are close to the target terminal, they can directly connect to the hotspot of the target terminal and then automatically access the local area network. For each terminal device accessing the local area network, it is determined as the current terminal device. For each current terminal device, the access time when it accesses the local area network is identified, and its version tree is identified to obtain the version information of its corresponding loader module, universal bootloader module, kernel module, root file system module, system data module, algorithm data module, application program module, positioning module, mobile communication module, Bluetooth module, and wireless local area network module.

[0040] It can be understood that each terminal device can turn on its own WiFi hotspot to become the target terminal, or only turn on the WiFi hotspot search function and act as the current terminal device accessing the local area network.

[0041] S103. Based on the access time and the version tree, determine the terminal to be upgraded from the target terminal and each current terminal device, and upgrade the terminal to be upgraded.

[0042] In this embodiment, the terminal to be upgraded can be understood as the terminal where a certain module to be upgraded is located. The terminal to be upgraded can be the target terminal or the current terminal device.

[0043] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, the target terminal C0 will exchange version information with the current terminal devices C1, C2, C3, and C4 respectively. If it is found that the version information of any module of the current terminal device is newer than the current version of the corresponding module of C0, C0 will automatically upgrade to that version. At the same time, if other vehicles find that their versions are lower than C0, they will automatically upgrade to the version of C0. Eventually, the versions within the entire local area network will be unified to the latest version. The upgrade process is to automatically upgrade the old (version number) version to the new (version number) version and the old date version to the new date version. It can be understood that the terminal will be locked during the upgrade, and even if a newer version arrives, it will wait until the upgrade is complete before continuing to compare to prevent upgrade chaos.

[0044] Exemplarily, the old and new situations of a certain module version in each of the terminals C0, C1, C2, C3, and C4 are: C4 > C0 = C1 = C2 > C3 (the larger the value, the newer the version); the access times of each terminal to the local area network are: C0 = C1 = C2 > C3 > C4 (the larger the value, the earlier the access time to the local area network). Therefore, when C1 and C2 connect to the network, no upgrade request will be triggered. When C3 connects to the local area network, C3 will request C0 to upgrade the version. During the upgrade process, when C4 connects to the local area network, it will wait until C3 has completed the upgrade, and then C0 will request the latest version from C4. After C0 has completed the upgrade, C0 will send the latest version to C1, C2, and C3 at the same time, and these three vehicles can synchronously send upgrade requests. Eventually, the versions of this module of the four terminal devices will be unified with C4.

[0045] Specifically, based on the access times of each current terminal device to the local area network, the target terminal and the current terminal devices are compared pairwise in the order of access time. The terminal with a lower version of a certain module among the two compared parties is used as the terminal to be upgraded. The terminal to be upgraded sends an upgrade request to the other terminal. After the other terminal receives the upgrade request for the module to be upgraded, it identifies the version information corresponding to the module to be upgraded through the version tree, accesses the flash memory to obtain the original file of the current version of the module to be upgraded, generates an upgrade installation package for the module to be upgraded in reverse based on the original file, and feeds back the upgrade installation package to the terminal to be upgraded. After receiving the upgrade installation package, the terminal to be upgraded upgrades the module to be upgraded based on the upgrade installation package. After the upgrade is completed, the version tree of the device to be upgraded is updated, and the original file of the upgraded version is stored in the flash memory to facilitate providing upgrade files for other devices and the basis for judgment in the next upgrade.

[0046] A terminal upgrade method provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes determining a target terminal, establishing a local area network with the target terminal as the core, identifying the access time of the current terminal device accessing the local area network and the version tree of the current terminal device, and determining the terminal to be upgraded from the target terminal and each current terminal device based on the access time and the version tree, and upgrading the terminal to be upgraded. In the above technical solution, a new upgrade management mechanism and project version management mechanism are adopted, and the concept of an upgrade server is abandoned. Each terminal device can be used as an upgrade host or a device to be upgraded. Any two or more terminal devices can form a local area network to implement version comparison and automatic update between devices, enabling offline vehicles to achieve the purpose of automatic version update under any conditions without additional auxiliary devices and without human on-site participation as long as certain requirements are met, improving the upgrade efficiency, facilitating after-sales maintenance of devices, and reducing maintenance and upgrade costs.

[0047] Embodiment 2

[0048] Figure 3 It is a flowchart of a terminal upgrade method provided by Embodiment 2 of the present invention. This embodiment is a further optimization of any of the above embodiments and is applicable to the situation of remotely and automatically upgrading multiple terminal devices. This method can be executed by a terminal upgrade device, and the terminal upgrade device can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software.

[0049] As Figure 3 shown, the method includes:

[0050] S201. Determine a reference device with a hotspot enabled from multiple terminal devices.

[0051] In this embodiment, the reference device can be understood as a terminal device with a hotspot enabled. Among them, the terminal device enabling the hotspot can be automatically enabled in response to conditions such as a specific time, can be enabled in response to remote control, or can be manually enabled on-site. This embodiment does not make any limitations in this regard.

[0052] Specifically, there may be multiple terminal devices on-site. Some terminal devices do not have the WiFi hotspot enabled, and some terminal devices have the WiFi hotspot enabled. The terminal device with the WiFi hotspot enabled is determined as the reference device.

[0053] S202. If there is one reference device, determine the reference device as the target terminal.

[0054] In this embodiment, if there is only one reference device with the WiFi hotspot enabled among multiple terminal devices, then directly use this reference device as the target terminal.

[0055] S203. If there are multiple reference devices, compare the serial numbers of each reference device, and determine the reference device with the largest serial number as the target terminal.

[0056] In this embodiment, for the case where there are at least two upgrade hotspots in the local area network, the following definitions are made: Each terminal device that has not enabled the hotspot can only connect to one upgrade hotspot, and each vehicle that has enabled the upgrade hotspot can also connect to other upgrade hotspots and can connect to multiple. Thus, if there are at least two reference devices among multiple terminal devices, then compare the serial numbers (Serial Number, SN) of these reference devices, and determine the reference device with the largest serial number as the target terminal.

[0057] Exemplarily, Figure 4 is a connection diagram of a local area network provided in the second embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 4 shown, both C0 and C5 have enabled the WiFi hotspot. C0 is connected to the WiFi hotspot of C5, and at the same time C5 is connected to the WiFi hotspot of C0. At this time, there is a duplicate connection, and the device needs to automatically complete the silence (not handle any services) of one link. In this case, it is automatically processed through the SN of the device, and the reference terminal with the larger SN is used as the target terminal, that is, the main upgrade hotspot. If the SN value: C0 > C5, then C0 is determined as the target terminal, the connection from C5 to C0 remains active, and the connection from C0 to C5 remains silent.

[0058] Figure 5 is another connection diagram of a local area network provided in the second embodiment of the present invention. Similarly, the reference device with the largest SN value among C0, C5, and C8 is taken as the target terminal.

[0059] S204. Establish a local area network with the target terminal as the core.

[0060] S205. Identify the access time of the current terminal device accessing the local area network and the version tree of the current terminal device.

[0061] S206. Compare the version tree of the target terminal and the version tree of the current terminal device according to the access time to obtain a version comparison result.

[0062] In this embodiment, the version comparison result can be understood as the result representing the new and old relationship of the versions obtained after comparing the version tree of the target terminal and the version tree of the current terminal device. There are multiple version comparison results, and each module in the version tree has its corresponding version comparison result.

[0063] Specifically, according to the access time, compare the version tree of the current terminal device that first accesses the local area network with the target terminal to obtain a version comparison result, which includes at least one of the following: a. The versions of each module of the target terminal are the same as those of each module of the current terminal device; b. There is at least one module of the target terminal whose version number (version time) is higher than that of the corresponding module of the current terminal device; c. There is at least one module of the target terminal whose version number (version time) is lower than that of the corresponding module of the current terminal device; d. The version information for the same module does not match; e. The version information for the same module matches. Among them, version information matching can be, for example, for a software module, the module name, project number, chip manufacturer, and chip type of the module in the target terminal and the current terminal device are all the same; for a hardware module, the module name, chip manufacturer, and chip type of the module in the target terminal and the current terminal device are the same.

[0064] Optionally, according to the access time, compare the version tree of the target terminal with the version tree of the current terminal device to obtain a version comparison result, including:

[0065] S2061. Compare the access times of each current terminal device to obtain an access time ranking.

[0066] In this embodiment, the access time ranking can be understood as the ranking of the access times of current terminal devices to the local area network in sequence.

[0067] Specifically, compare the access times of each current terminal device to the local area network to obtain an access time ranking, and the number of current terminal devices within the access time ranking is the same as the number of current terminal devices accessing the local area network.

[0068] S2062. Determine the current terminal device corresponding to the access time ranked first as the device to be compared, and compare the version tree of the device to be compared with the version tree of the target terminal to obtain a version comparison result.

[0069] In this embodiment, the device to be compared can be understood as the current terminal device to be compared with the target terminal. It can be understood that during the upgrade process, the version tree of the target terminal is always updated fastest so that the target terminal always remains the highest version among the terminal devices that have been compared before the next comparison.

[0070] Specifically, according to the access time, determine the current terminal device that first accesses the local area network as the device to be compared, and compare the version tree of the device to be compared with the version tree of the target terminal to obtain the version comparison result for the current iteration.

[0071] S207. Determine whether the current upgrade condition is met according to the version comparison result. If it is met, determine the terminal to be upgraded from the target terminal and each current terminal device.

[0072] In this embodiment, the upgrade condition can be understood as the condition for determining that version upgrade can be performed, including at least version information matching and differences in version numbers (or version times), that is, the version comparison result is e and b, or e and c.

[0073] Specifically, for the version comparison result of a certain module, if the version comparison result is that the version information of the same module matches, and the version number (version time) of this module in the target terminal and the current terminal device (device to be compared) is inconsistent, it is determined that the current upgrade condition is met. When the upgrade condition is met, the party with the lower version among the target terminal and the device to be compared is determined as the terminal to be upgraded.

[0074] S208. Upgrade the terminal to be upgraded. After the upgrade is completed, update the version tree of the terminal to be upgraded.

[0075] Specifically, if the terminal to be upgraded is the target device, generate an upgrade request for the module to be upgraded with a version difference, and send the upgrade request to the device to be compared, so that the device to be compared accesses the flash memory based on the upgrade request and the version tree, determines the original file of the module to be upgraded, reversely generates an upgrade installation package for the module to be upgraded based on the original file, and feeds back the upgrade installation package to the terminal to be upgraded. The terminal to be upgraded upgrades the module to be upgraded based on the upgrade installation package. After the upgrade is completed, store the original file of the upgraded version in the flash memory. Similarly, if the terminal to be upgraded is the device to be compared, generate a corresponding upgrade request and send it to the target terminal, and receive the upgrade installation package of the module to be upgraded returned by the target terminal after corresponding processing, so as to perform terminal upgrade based on the upgrade installation package.

[0076] Optionally, after step S208 is completed, return to step S2061 in step S206 and iterate downward in the ranking order according to the access time, return to re-determine the device to be compared until the end of the ranking is iterated.

[0077] Specifically, after comparing the target device with the first current terminal device to complete the first terminal update, at this time, both the target device and the first current terminal device have the version tree of the latest version. At this time, iterate downward according to the ranking order ranked by access time, determine the second current terminal device accessing the local area network as the device to be compared, compare the version tree of the device to be compared with the version tree of the target terminal to obtain the version comparison result in this round of iteration, and then determine the device to be upgraded in this round of iteration, execute the upgrade process of the device to be upgraded, and update the version tree of the device to be upgraded; then return to step S2062 to execute again until the end of the ranking in the access time ranking is iterated. It can be understood that after comparing the target terminal with the device to be compared in each round of iteration, it is also necessary to compare the version tree of the target terminal with the version tree of the historical device to be compared (the device to be compared in each previous round of iteration), and perform the corresponding terminal upgrade on the historical device to be compared when the upgrade condition is met to ensure the synchronous upgrade of all terminal devices in the local area network.

[0078] A terminal upgrade method provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes determining a reference device with a hotspot enabled from multiple terminal devices; if there is one reference device, determining the reference device as the target terminal; if there are multiple reference devices, comparing the serial numbers of each reference device and determining the reference device with the largest serial number as the target terminal; establishing a local area network with the target terminal as the core; identifying the access time of the current terminal device accessing the local area network and the version tree of the current terminal device; comparing the version tree of the target terminal and the version tree of the current terminal device according to the access time to obtain a version comparison result; determining whether the current upgrade condition is met according to the version comparison result, and if so, determining the terminal to be upgraded from the target terminal and each current terminal device; upgrading the terminal to be upgraded, and after the upgrade is completed, updating the version tree of the terminal to be upgraded. In the above technical solution, each terminal device is both a client and can also be an upgrade server. The terminal device maintains its own version tree, which includes the types and version numbers of all its own versions, and through this version tree, it can directly access the original files and reverse generate upgradeable files. If different devices need to upgrade each other, they can turn on the WiFi upgrade hotspot of one of the devices. After other devices connect to it, they will automatically exchange their respective version situations. When it is determined that the version needs to be upgraded, the version request and self-upgrade will be automatically completed. Exemplarily, there is a terminal device that has been offline for a month, and the terminal devices in the same fleet are all online normally. It is necessary to upgrade the 4G module version. According to the traditional solution, it is necessary to send someone to the site to manually upgrade the 4G module. However, by using the terminal upgrade method of the embodiment of the present invention, the problem terminal device can automatically complete the module upgrade and go online after a period of time by turning on the upgrade hotspot function of another terminal device in the same fleet. The problem of this terminal device is solved, the work of going to the site is eliminated, and the labor and time costs are saved; it has good economic benefits under certain conditions. In addition, the present invention is also applicable to single and batch upgrades in the case of being offline all year round, or using a low-speed network (with a high failure probability) and limited traffic. It realizes a simple upgrade strategy in more adaptable scenarios without additional hardware devices.
