[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 , in an embodiment of the present invention, an upgrade management method for device software is provided, and the method includes:

[0047] S1. Obtain the hardware configuration information and the current software version information of the device to be upgraded, and determine the target software category and the current software version level of the device to be upgraded according to the current software version information;

[0048] S2. Based on the target software category, the current software version level, and the hardware configuration information, use a preset matching algorithm to match an adapted target software version from a pre-constructed software version database. The matching algorithm is designed to perform matching processing in sequence according to the software-hardware compatibility standard, the software version level standard, and the software stability level standard;

[0049] S3. Send the software upgrade package of the target software version to the device to be upgraded, and control the device to be upgraded to perform a software upgrade operation based on the software upgrade package;

[0050] S4. Obtain the upgrade result information of the device to be upgraded, and update the current software version information according to the upgrade result information.

[0051] In the device software upgrade management method provided by the preferred embodiment of the present invention, obtain the hardware configuration information and the current software version information of the device to be upgraded. The hardware configuration information includes the type of the hardware device, the device manufacturer, the bidding batch, and the hardware version. Compare the current software version information with a pre-constructed software version database to extract the target software category and the current software version level of the device to be upgraded. Specifically, according to the current software version information, relevant information of the current software version can be obtained, including the current software category, the current software version level, and the release time. According to the software category of the current software version, search for an adapted software category from the software version database, and use the adapted software category as the target software category of the device to be upgraded.

[0052] In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the software version database includes software category, software version level, software stability level, and adapted hardware information. The adapted hardware information includes the type of the hardware device, the device manufacturer, the bidding batch, and the hardware version that are adapted to the software.

[0053] The software version database is stored in the storage unit of the hardware device and the cloud database to facilitate the comparison and management of software versions. Device operation and maintenance personnel can upload, download, and view the software version database materials through the APP of the intelligent terminal.

[0054] Furthermore, based on the target software category, the current software version level, and the hardware configuration information, use a preset matching algorithm to match an adapted target software version from the software version database. Specifically, access the software version database, obtain all software versions of the target software category, and select software versions higher than the current software version level from all software versions, and use them as the first list of adapted software versions.

[0055] Obtain the hardware adaptation information of the software versions in the first adapted software version list. Adopt the regular expression matching algorithm to perform software and hardware compatibility matching between the hardware configuration information and the hardware adaptation information of the software versions in the first adapted software version list, and obtain the compatibility evaluation result. According to the compatibility evaluation result, select the second adapted software version list from the first adapted software version list whose compatibility evaluation result is greater than or equal to the preset compatibility threshold. Only when the device type, device manufacturer, tender batch, and hardware version of the hardware configuration information of the device to be upgraded are exactly the same as those of the hardware adaptation information of the software versions in the first adapted software version list can the second adapted software version list that exactly matches the hardware configuration information of the device to be upgraded be obtained.

[0056] The first adapted software version list may include one or more adapted software versions, or may not include any adapted software version. If there is no adapted software version in the first adapted software version list, it indicates that there is currently no software version suitable for the device to be upgraded, and thus no upgrade is required. If the first adapted software version list includes one or more adapted software versions, the regular expression matching algorithm is used to evaluate the software and hardware compatibility between the adapted hardware information of each software version in the first adapted software version list and the hardware configuration information, and obtain the compatibility evaluation result. Determine whether the compatibility evaluation result of each software version is greater than or equal to the preset compatibility threshold. If so, it indicates that the software version is compatible with the device to be upgraded; if not, it indicates that the software version is not compatible with the device to be upgraded and cannot be used for the upgrade of the device to be upgraded. The second adapted software version list is composed of software versions whose compatibility evaluation results are greater than or equal to the preset compatibility threshold.

[0057] The second adapted software version list may include one or more adapted software versions, or may not include any adapted software version. If there is no adapted software in the second adapted software version list, it indicates that there is currently no software version suitable for the device to be upgraded, and thus no upgrade is required. If the second adapted software version list includes one or more adapted software versions, select the software version with the highest version level or / and the highest stability level from the second adapted software version list as the target software version.

[0058] Obtain the software upgrade package of the target software version and its verification information, and download it to the local server or distribute it to the device to be upgraded. Ensure the integrity and accuracy of the downloaded software upgrade package by verifying the software upgrade package, and avoid upgrade failures caused by download errors. Generate a matching upgrade task list according to the device type and the target software version, including the device unique identifier, the current software version, the target software version, and the upgrade operation steps, etc., for guiding the subsequent upgrade operations, and persistently store the task list for future query.

[0059] Specifically, according to the communication protocol of the device, the information of the target software version is encapsulated into an upgrade instruction in a corresponding data format. The encapsulated upgrade instruction is sent to the device to be upgraded through a communication network. After receiving the upgrade instruction, the device to be upgraded parses out the information of the target software version and downloads the corresponding software upgrade package from the upgrade management system.

[0060] After the device to be upgraded obtains the software upgrade package, before controlling the device to be upgraded to perform a software upgrade operation based on the software upgrade package, a simulation of the target software version is carried out. Specifically, a simulation model is built on the device to be upgraded based on the hardware configuration information, the software upgrade package of the target software version is imported into the simulation model for simulation operation and the simulation result is output. If the simulation result is a failure, it indicates that the software upgrade package of the target software version does not match the hardware configuration information of the device to be upgraded, and then it is necessary to reselect the target software version or return an upgrade failure message. If the simulation result is a success, it indicates that the software upgrade package of the target software version matches the hardware configuration information of the device to be upgraded, and the device to be upgraded can be further controlled to perform a software upgrade operation based on the software upgrade package.

[0061] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, controlling the device to be upgraded to perform a software upgrade operation based on the software upgrade package, specifically, according to the current operating state of the device, it is judged whether the upgrade condition is met. If it is met, the upgrade mode is entered; otherwise, an upgrade failure message is returned. After the device enters the upgrade mode, the software of the device is upgraded according to the upgrade file, and the upgrade process is recorded in real time. After the upgrade operation is completed, the device automatically restarts, loads and runs the upgraded software, and at the same time feeds back the upgrade result information. According to the fed-back upgrade result information, the current software version information in the device file is updated, and the upgrade process log is analyzed to generate an upgrade report, completing the entire upgrade process.

[0062] After the software upgrade is completed, ensuring the reliability of the upgraded software and avoiding unexpected system failures for the device are the keys to ensuring the security of the device. Therefore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, after updating the current software version information, the software operation data of all devices to be upgraded is obtained to generate a software operation log. The software operation log records the data of the software of all devices to be upgraded during the operation process. Each software is evaluated according to the software operation log, and the focus of the evaluation is the stability of the software operation, and a software stability level is generated. The frequency of software evaluation is set, and the software stability level is evaluated and updated regularly to ensure the stability of the target software version obtained by the device to be upgraded during the upgrade process.

[0063] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the software operation logs and software stability levels are sent to device operation and maintenance personnel, device manufacturers, and software development engineers to facilitate software upgrade and optimization by device operation and maintenance personnel, device manufacturers, and software development engineers. The software operation logs and software stability levels can also be sent to the cloud for data sharing and data analysis.

[0064] If the upgrade result information indicates an upgrade failure, an upgrade failure work order is generated, which includes the reason for the upgrade failure, and the upgrade failure work order is sent to the device operation and maintenance personnel to notify them to perform fault repair. After all devices to be upgraded are upgraded, the upgrade results of all devices to be upgraded are counted, the upgrade success rate is calculated, and an upgrade result report is generated, which contains the upgrade details of each device. If the upgrade success rate does not reach the expected target, the reasons for the failure of the devices to be upgraded that failed the upgrade are analyzed, and corresponding measures are taken, such as optimizing the matching algorithm, etc.

[0065] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, if the upgrade success rate does not reach the expected target, the reasons for the failure of the devices to be upgraded that failed the upgrade are analyzed, and corresponding measures are taken, such as optimizing the matching algorithm, etc. Specifically, the upgrade result information is collected, the upgrade success rate is calculated. If the upgrade success rate does not reach the preset threshold, the information set of the reasons for the upgrade failure of the devices to be upgraded is collected, the occurrence times of each failure reason in the information set of the reasons for the upgrade failure are obtained, and the corresponding relationship between the upgrade failure reasons and the occurrence times is obtained. If the occurrence times of an upgrade failure reason are greater than the preset number threshold, then it is determined that this failure reason is a key failure reason, the hardware configuration information of the device associated with this key failure reason is extracted, the extracted hardware configuration information is compared with the software version information of the failed upgrade, and based on the obtained comparison result, a machine learning method is used to adjust the parameters of the regular expression matching algorithm to obtain an optimized regular expression matching algorithm.

[0066] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the hardware configuration information and the current software version information of the device to be upgraded are obtained. According to the current software version information, the target software category and the current software version level of the device to be upgraded are determined. Based on the target software category, the current software version level, and the hardware configuration information, a preset matching algorithm is used to match an adapted target software version from a pre-constructed software version database. The matching algorithm is designed to perform matching processing in sequence according to the hardware and software compatibility standard, the software version level standard, and the software stability level standard. The software upgrade package of the target software version is sent to the device to be upgraded, and the device to be upgraded is controlled to perform a software upgrade operation based on the software upgrade package. The upgrade result information of the device to be upgraded is obtained, and according to the upgrade result information, the current software version information is updated. The device software upgrade management method provided by this application can find the most suitable upgrade version for each device in a massive software version database. During the software matching process, the software compatibility, the software version level, and the software stability level are matched to match the optimal software version and improve the success rate of the upgrade.
