[0057] Here, the exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, and the examples are shown in the drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0058] It should be noted that all actions of obtaining signals, information, or data in the present disclosure are carried out on the premise of complying with the corresponding data protection regulations and policies of the country where it is located and obtaining the authorization given by the owner of the corresponding device.

[0059] Figure 1 It is a flowchart of a flashing method shown according to an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, including the following steps:

[0060] In step S11, the terminal device located in the packaging box is periodically started at a set time interval through a specified application.

[0061] Exemplarily, the terminal devices described in the present disclosure are all terminal devices located in the manufacturer's factory or warehouse and already produced and packaged in the packaging box. The terminal device can be a mobile phone, computer, smart wearable device (such as a smart watch, bracelet, etc.), smart TV, digital broadcast terminal, game terminal, tablet device, etc. located in the packaging box. The present disclosure does not limit the type of the terminal device. In the terminal device, a specified application for flashing is installed. The application can be used to periodically start or shut down the terminal device at a set time interval. The set time interval can be set by the terminal device manufacturer in the specified application. For example, it can be started at 10:00 every day, or it can be started at 12:00 on Wednesday every week. The present disclosure does not limit the set time interval and start time.

[0062] In step S12, after the terminal device is started, the system update task is queried through the server.

[0063] Exemplarily, during the production process of the terminal device, an operating system is written into the ROM (Read-Only Memory) of the terminal device. However, the ROM version of the operating system of the terminal device is not fixed. During the production process or during use, the ROM version of the operating system of the terminal device often needs to be updated or replaced (i.e., flashed). During the factory production stage, the terminal device can obtain a flashing task by connecting to the factory flashing server to update or replace the ROM version of the operating system of the terminal device. It is worth mentioning that the terminal device described in this disclosure can be located in the manufacturer's factory or warehouse. Therefore, a wireless access point for the terminal device to connect to the network (such as a wireless router providing a WiFi network) can be set in this factory or warehouse. The access information of this wireless access point (such as the account and password of the WiFi network) is pre-stored in each terminal device, so that the terminal device can automatically connect to this wireless access point based on this access information after powering on, and thus can access the network to access the server. The terminal device can access the server to obtain the flashing task by connecting to the wireless local area network where the server is located through the wireless access point, or the terminal device can also access the server to obtain the flashing task by connecting to the Internet through the wireless access point.

[0064] In step S13, when it is determined that there is a system update task, execute this system update task to update the operating system of the terminal device from the first system version to the second system version.

[0065] Exemplarily, when the terminal device obtains a system update task from the factory flashing server, by executing this system update task, the operating system of the terminal device can be updated from the first system version to the second system version, or the first system version can be replaced with the second system version. Among them, the second system version can be the system version after the first system version is updated, or it can be a system version of a different system type from the first system version. This system update task can be a task for updating the operating system of the terminal device, or it can be a task for updating a certain component or application in the terminal device.

[0066] Optionally, when there is no such system update task, turn off the terminal device through this specified application.

[0067] Exemplarily, when the terminal device does not obtain the system update task from the factory flashing server, the terminal device can be turned off through a specified application. Among them, the time to turn off the terminal device can be when this specified application receives a failure to obtain the system update task, or it can be when a failure to obtain the system update task occurs within a specified time range; among them, during the process of a failure to obtain the system update task within the specified time range, the terminal device can obtain the system update task from the factory flashing server multiple times.

[0068] Optionally, the specified application can be the front-end APP for air flashing.

[0069] Exemplarily, the front-end APP (Application) generally refers to the front-end interface part of the application running on the terminal device. It is the interface for users to interact with the application, providing user interface elements, layouts, styles, and interaction functions. The front-end APP can communicate with the back-end server, send requests to obtain data, or submit the operation results of users to the back-end for processing. It can exchange data with the back-end through network protocols to achieve data transmission and synchronization. In addition, the front-end APP needs to be adapted to different terminal device platforms, such as iOS and Android, etc. Air flashing is different from traditional flashing through wired connection. It means that the terminal device connects to the server through Bluetooth, WiFi, or other communication methods, and then downloads the flashing (ROM) package in the server through Bluetooth or WiFi for flashing. Among them, the flashing package contains the data of the updated operating system. In summary, the front-end APP for air flashing can be a flashing APP customized by the manufacturer, with the functions of periodically turning on or off the terminal device, and obtaining and executing the system update task from the factory flashing server. It can be understood that the front-end APP for air flashing can be an independent application, or a component or device in the operating system of the terminal device, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0070] In the above technical solution, the terminal device located in the packaging box is periodically started by the specified application according to the set time interval; after the terminal device is started, the system update task is queried through the server; when it is determined that there is a system update task, the system update task is executed to update the operating system of the terminal device from the first system version to the second system version. In the above technical solution, there is no need to unpack the terminal device in the packaging box and there is no need to transform the hardware of the terminal device, which can realize the flashing of the terminal device, thereby reducing the packaging cost caused by repackaging after unpacking and reducing the production cost generated by hardware transformation.

[0071] Figure 2 is a flowchart of a flashing method shown according to an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, step S12 includes the following steps:

[0072] In step S121, after the terminal device is started, the device status of the terminal device is obtained through the specified application, and the device status includes: the power status and / or the status of whether the terminal device is abnormal.

[0073] Exemplarily, when the terminal device is in the process of operating system update, it takes a long time and consumes a large amount of power. Therefore, to ensure that the operating system update of the terminal device does not interrupt, for example, during the update process, the battery runs out and the terminal device shuts down; the hardware of the terminal device is abnormal and the operation update fails, etc. Therefore, before obtaining the update task, the device status of the terminal device is obtained, and the device status includes but is not limited to the power status, hardware status, software status, etc.

[0074] In step S122, when the device status meets the preset status condition, the terminal device is switched to the flashing mode.

[0075] Exemplarily, when the device status of the terminal device meets the preset conditions, the terminal device can be switched to the flashing mode. The flashing mode is a mode set by the terminal device manufacturer for the terminal device. Generally, it refers to a special mode that the terminal device enters, which is different from the normal usage mode and has some special functions and effects. For example, it can include the following aspects: The flashing mode provides a secure flashing environment and can be used to flash the firmware of the device. When the device has problems or needs to update the firmware, the flashing mode can be used to install a new firmware version, repair system errors or restore the device to the factory state. The flashing mode can be used to solve the system failures of the device. When the device cannot start normally or encounters software problems, the flashing mode can provide some repair options, such as clearing the cache, formatting the data partition or resetting the device settings, to solve problems such as system crashes or freezes. The flashing mode can be used for the security and recovery of the device and can be used to back up and restore important data on the device to prevent data loss. In addition, the flashing mode can also be used to install or uninstall the root certificate, security patches or other security-related operations of the device to enhance the security of the device. In addition, the flashing mode can also have cleaning and optimization options to improve the performance and stability of the device.

[0076] In step S123, in the flashing mode, it is queried in the server whether there is such a system update task.

[0077] In step S124, when there is such a system update task in the server, the system update task is obtained.

[0078] Exemplarily, after the terminal device enters the flashing mode, it can access the factory flashing server through the specified application to obtain the system update task from the factory flashing server. In addition, in another possible implementation, the terminal device may not enter the flashing mode, that is, step S122 is not required. When the device state of the terminal device meets the preset conditions, it can access the factory flashing server through the specified application to obtain the system update task from the factory flashing server. In another possible implementation, the terminal device can first query the system update task from the server. When the system update task exists, the terminal device is then made to enter the flashing mode. Or, in another possible implementation, the terminal device can first access and obtain the system update task through the specified application. The system update task may include at least one piece of information such as the time consumption, power consumption, and size of the flashing package for this system update, and determine whether the device state of the terminal device can support the completion of the system update task according to the at least one piece of information. For example, if the system update task obtained by the specified application requires 30% power consumption and the remaining power of the terminal device is 25%, it can be determined that the remaining power of the terminal device is not sufficient to support the completion of this system update task. Therefore, this system update task is not executed. In summary, when the terminal device executes the system update task, it can either not enter the flashing mode or enter the flashing mode. In the case of entering the flashing mode, it can enter the flashing mode before obtaining the system update task or enter the flashing mode after obtaining the system update task. The above possible embodiments all fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0079] Figure 3 is a flowchart of a flashing method shown according to an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, after step S121, the method further includes the following steps:

[0080] In step S125, when the device state does not meet the preset state conditions, the device state of the terminal device is sent to the server through the specified application.

[0081] In step S126, the terminal device is turned off through the specified application.

[0082] Exemplarily, when the device state of the terminal device does not meet the preset state conditions, if the system update task is executed, the system update may be interrupted or failed due to the device state. For example, when the remaining battery power of the terminal device is 5%, the specified application may require at least 30% of the battery power to execute the system update task. In this case, if the system update task is executed, the system update task cannot be completed. Therefore, when the device state of the terminal device does not meet the preset conditions, the specified application can send the device state of the terminal device and / or a prompt message indicating that the operating system of the terminal device has not been updated to the server. The prompt message can be used to instruct the server to output a reminder message that the terminal device needs to be upgraded by unpacking, so that the staff can update the first operating system of the terminal device to the second operating system in a timely manner. After the device state and / or the prompt message are sent to the server, the terminal device can be turned off through the specified application. In addition, it can be understood that the time to turn off the terminal device can be after the device state and / or the prompt message are sent to the server, or it can be a scheduled shutdown time set for the specified application.

[0083] Figure 4 is a flowchart of a flashing method shown according to an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, step S12 includes the following steps:

[0084] In step S127, after the terminal device is started, the specified application connects to the factory network based on HttpURLConnection.

[0085] Exemplarily, HttpURLConnection is a class in Java for making HTTP network connections. It provides a simple and flexible way to communicate with a remote server, supports various HTTP request methods (such as GET, POST, etc.) and interactions with the server (such as reading responses, sending request parameters, etc.). Through HttpURLConnection, a connection to a web server can be established, an HTTP request can be sent, and then the response returned by the server can be obtained.

[0086] In step S128, after connecting to the factory network, access the server through the factory network to query for system update tasks in the server.

[0087] Exemplarily, after the terminal device connects to a specific factory network through HttpURLConnection, it can send a system update task query instruction to the factory flashing server through the factory network. The factory flashing server can search for system update tasks according to the system task update query instruction and send the query result to the specified application.

[0088] Figure 5 is a flowchart of a flashing method shown according to an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, step S13 includes the following steps:

[0089] In step S131, when it is determined that there is a system update task, obtain a flashing package corresponding to the system update task from the server.

[0090] Exemplarily, when the specified application obtains a system update task, it can obtain a data packet corresponding to the system update task from the server. For example, the system update task may include the storage location of the flashing package in the server. When the specified application obtains the storage location, it can download the flashing package at the storage location of the server. In addition, it can be understood that when the flashing package is a compressed file package, the specified application can decompress the flashing package.

[0091] In step S132, update the operating system of the terminal device from the first system version to the second system version through the flashing package.

[0092] Exemplarily, when the terminal device obtains the flashing package, it can update the operating system of the terminal device from the first system version to the second system version according to the flashing package.

[0093] Figure 6 is a flowchart of a flashing method shown according to an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 6 shown, the method further includes the following steps:

[0094] In step S14, when the update of the operating system of the terminal device from the first system version to the second system version is successful, clear the operating system update record in the terminal device through the specified application.

[0095] In step S15, turn off the terminal device through the specified application.

[0096] Exemplarily, when the update of the operating system of the terminal device from the first system version to the second system version is successful, relevant operating system update records may be generated in the terminal device. Since the terminal device has not been sold yet, in order to ensure the user experience after selling it to users, the specified application can be used to clear the operating system update records in the terminal device. When the deletion of the operating system update record is completed, the terminal device can be turned off through the specified application.

[0097] Figure 7 is a flowchart of a flashing method shown according to an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 7 shown, the method further includes the following steps:

[0098] In step S16, when the operating system of the terminal device fails to be updated from the first system version to the second system version, an operating system update failure message is sent to the server through the specified application.

[0099] In step S17, the terminal device is shut down through the specified application.

[0100] Optionally, when the device status does not meet the preset status conditions, or when the operating system of the terminal device fails to be updated from the first system version to the second system version, a prompt message is sent to the server through the specified application, and the prompt message is used to instruct the server to output a reminder message that the terminal device needs to be unboxed and upgraded.

[0101] Exemplarily, the operating system of the terminal device may fail to be updated from the first system version to the second system version. When the operating system update of the terminal device fails, the specified application can send an operating system update failure message to the server. The operating system update failure message may include the identifier of the terminal device, the reason for the failure, etc. The failure message can be used to instruct the server to output a reminder message that the terminal device needs to be unboxed and upgraded, so that the staff can update the first operating system of the terminal device to the second operating system in time. After the reminder message is successfully sent, the terminal device can be shut down through the specified application.

[0102] In the above technical solution, the terminal device located in the packaging box is started regularly at a set time interval through the specified application; after the terminal device is started, the system update task is queried through the server; when it is determined that there is a system update task, the system update task is executed to update the operating system of the terminal device from the first system version to the second system version. In the above technical solution, there is no need to unbox the terminal device in the packaging box and there is no need to transform the hardware of the terminal device, and the flashing of the terminal device can be realized, so that the packaging cost caused by repackaging after unboxing can be reduced, and the production cost generated by hardware transformation can be reduced.
