[0027] Next, the technical solutions in the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present disclosure without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0028] It should be noted that in the present disclosure, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to represent examples, illustrations or explanations. Any embodiment or design solution described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the present disclosure should not be construed as more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or design solutions. Exactly, using words such as "exemplary" or "for example" aims to present relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0029] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0030] In the description of the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, "at least one" means one or more, and "multiple" means two or more than two.

[0031] Based on what is described in the background art, in the related art, when a large number of terminals simultaneously obtain a higher-level installation package related to the application from the server, there are problems of large data traffic and slow download speed, which will affect the user experience. In an exemplary implementation, there may be at least one router between the terminal and the server. The at least one router can obtain and store the installation package from the server, and then the terminal can obtain the installation package from the at least one router. Based on this, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide an upgrade method, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium. The first electronic device can first determine whether the first version information is higher than the second version information; when the first version information is higher than the second version information, it means that the version of the installation package of the target application (i.e., the first installation package) stored in the first electronic device is higher than the version of the installation package of the target application (i.e., the second installation package) stored in the target network device. The first electronic device may have obtained a higher-level installation package (i.e., the first installation package) from the server or other network devices. At this time, the first electronic device can send the first installation package to the target network device so that the target network device can update the second installation package to the first installation package, so that a higher-level installation package can be stored in the target network device, which can ensure that the target network device can store and provide a higher-level installation package, providing a basis for upgrading the second electronic device and the like. It can quickly and reliably assist the user to complete the application upgrade process. In addition, based on this process, the electronic device can not only obtain the installation package from the server, thereby reducing the data transmission pressure on the server.

[0032] The upgrade method, electronic device, and computer storage medium provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to an upgrade system. As Figure 1 described, the upgrade system may include electronic device 101, electronic device 102, electronic device 103, network device 104, network device 105, and server 106. Usually, in practical applications, the connections between the above devices can be wireless connections or wired connections. For the convenience of intuitively representing the connection relationships between the devices, Figure 1 solid lines are used in the figure for illustration.

[0033] Among them, the electronic device 101 is used to send a first version information acquisition request to the server 106. The first version information acquisition request may include the identifier of the target application, and the first version information acquisition request is used to request to obtain the version of the installation package of the target application stored in the server 106.

[0034] The electronic device 102 is used to receive the first installation package (i.e., the installation package of the target application stored in the electronic device 101) sent by the network device 104, and upgrade the target application based on the first installation package.

[0035] The network device 104 is configured to receive the first installation package sent by the electronic device 101 and update the second installation package (i.e., the installation package of the target application stored in the network device 104) to the first installation package.

[0036] The server 106 is configured to send the third version information to the electronic device 101, and the third version information is the version information of the third installation package (i.e., the installation package of the target application stored in the server 106).

[0037] It can be understood that Figure 1 the 1 server, 2 network devices, and 3 electronic devices shown in

[0038] are only examples in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and the present disclosure does not specifically limit the number of each device included in the above upgrade system.

[0039] In some embodiments, the above electronic devices (which may include the electronic device 101, the electronic device 102, and the electronic device 103) may be mobile phones, tablet computers, desktops, laptops, handheld computers, notebook computers, ultra-mobile personal computers (UMPCs), netbooks, as well as cellular phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) devices. The present disclosure does not impose special restrictions on the specific form of the electronic device. It can perform human-computer interaction with the user through one or more of a keyboard, touchpad, touch screen, remote control, voice interaction, or handwriting device.

[0040] Exemplarily, the above server may be an independent physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, network acceleration services (content delivery network, CDN), as well as big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

[0041] In one implementation, asFigure 2 As shown, the above electronic device may include a database module 201, a detection module 202, a download module 203, an upload module 204, and a verification module 205.

[0042] Among them, the database module 201 is used to store the identifier of the above server to send data to the server; the database module is also used to store trigger events; the database module is also used to manage the installation packages stored on the electronic device.

[0043] The detection module 202 is used to detect whether a trigger event occurs, and when the trigger event occurs, determine whether the first version information is lower than the third version information. The trigger event may include any one of the following: the current moment is the polling moment (the moment when the electronic device determines whether there is a new version information of the target application's installation package from the server), the first electronic device is connected to the network, and the first electronic device detects a screen-off event.

[0044] The download module 203 is used to receive the second installation package sent by the target network device. The second installation package is the installation package of the target application stored in the target network device.

[0045] The upload module 204 is used to send the first installation package to the target network device when the first version information is higher than the second version information. The first version information is the version of the first installation package, the second version information is the version information of the second installation package, the first installation package is the installation package of the target application stored in the database module 201, and the second installation package is the installation package of the target application stored in the target network device.

[0046] The verification module 205 is used to determine whether the verification information of the second installation package is the same as the verification information of the first detected installation package. The version information of the first detected installation package and the second installation package is the same, and the first detected installation package is the installation package of the target application stored on the server.

[0047] In another implementation, as Figure 3 shown, the above network device may include an upload and reception module 301, a download and sending module 302, and an installation package management module 303.

[0048] Among them, the upload and reception module 301 is used to receive the first installation package.

[0049] The download and sending module 302 is used to send the second installation package.

[0050] The installation package management module 303 is used to manage the installation packages stored in the network device. (In an exemplary embodiment, the installation package management module can actively obtain the high-version installation packages from the server, or obtain the high-version installation packages from the electronic device, and can also perform deletion and sending operations on the installation packages stored on the target network device).

[0051] The following introduces the upgrade method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure from the perspective of the interaction of each device included in the above upgrade system. In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, the upgrade method may include, but is not limited to, operations S101 - S103.

[0052] S101. The first electronic device obtains the first version information of the first installation package of the target application stored in the first electronic device.

[0053] It should be understood that multiple applications can be installed and run in the first electronic device, and the multiple applications can implement their respective provided functions or services. The above target application is any one of the multiple applications.

[0054] It can be understood that the target application can be software (such as an operating system, an application program, or a tool, etc.) or firmware, and the target application can be upgraded.

[0055] In some embodiments, the above storage method can be local storage, remote storage, or other distributed storage.

[0056] S102. The first electronic device sends a version information acquisition request to the target network device.

[0057] Among them, the version information acquisition request is used to request the target network device to send the second version information of the second installation package of the target application, and the second installation package is the installation package of the target application stored on the target network device.

[0058] Combined with Figure 1 the upgrade system shown in, it should be understood that a network device (such as the target network device) can be connected to at least two electronic devices (including the first electronic device and the second electronic device), and an electronic device (such as the first electronic device) can also be connected to at least two network devices (including the target network device and other network devices in the network). The first electronic device can obtain the installation packages of relevant applications from the network devices connected to the first electronic device, or obtain the installation packages from the server.

[0059] It can be understood that when the version of the first version is higher than that of the second version, it indicates that the version of the installation package of the target application (i.e., the first application installation package) stored in the first electronic device is higher than the version of the installation package of the target application (i.e., the second application installation package) stored in the target network device. The first electronic device may have obtained a higher-level installation package (i.e., the first application installation package) from the server or other network devices. At this time, the first electronic device can send a version update instruction to the target network device, that is, instruct the target network device to update the second application installation package to the first application installation package, so that the target network device can store a higher-level installation package, which can ensure that the target network device can store and provide a higher-level installation package, providing a basis for upgrading for the second electronic device and the like.

[0060] S103. When receiving the second version information sent by the target network device and determining that the first version information is higher than the second version information, the first electronic device sends the first installation package to the target network device, or when not receiving the second version information sent by the target network device, the first electronic device sends the first installation package to the target network device.

[0061] It should be understood that when determining that the first version information is higher than the second version information, it indicates that the first electronic device may have obtained a higher-level installation package (i.e., the first installation package) from the server or other network devices. At this time, the first electronic device can send the first installation package to the target network device, so that the target network device updates the second installation package to the first application installation package, so that the target network device can store a higher-level installation package, which can ensure that the target network device can store and provide a higher-level installation package, providing a basis for upgrading for the second electronic device and the like.

[0062] It can be understood that when not receiving the second version information sent by the target network device, it indicates that there is no second installation package of the target application in the target network device. At this time, the first electronic device directly sends the first installation package to the target network device.

[0063] The above upgrade method can run in a network device. When running in a network device, the upgrade method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure may include S104 - S107.

[0064] S104. The target network device receives a version information acquisition request sent by the first electronic device.

[0065] S105. When confirming the second version information of the second installation package of the target application, the target network device sends the second version information to the first electronic device.

[0066] It should be understood that in the case where the second version information of the second installation package of the target application is confirmed to exist, it indicates that the second version information exists in the target network device, that is, the target network device can send the second version information to the first electronic device.

[0067] It can be understood that in the case where it is confirmed that the second version information does not exist in the target network device, it indicates that the second installation package of the target application does not exist in the target network device. At this time, the target network device does not send the second version information to the first electronic device.

[0068] S106. The target network device receives the first installation package sent by the first electronic device.

[0069] S107. The target network device updates the second installation package to the first installation package or determines the first installation package as the second installation package in the case where the second installation package does not exist in the target network device.

[0070] It should be understood that the target network device updating the second installation package to the first installation package specifically means replacing the second installation package stored in the target network device with the first installation package. Since the target network device stores a higher-level installation package at this time, the target network device can send the higher-level installation package to other electronic devices (such as the second electronic device) connected to the target network device, so that the other electronic devices can upgrade the target application based on the higher-level installation package.

[0071] In some embodiments, the target network device can send the first installation package to at least one second electronic device, so that the second electronic device upgrades the target application based on the first installation package. The second electronic device is an electronic device connected to the target network device. It should be noted that in an exemplary implementation manner, the target network device can record the applications and version information currently installed on each electronic device during the interaction with at least one first electronic device or second electronic device, and after combining the above upgrade operations, select the electronic device corresponding to the installed target application to send the first installation package.

[0072] In some embodiments, the target network device can send installation package upgrade information to the electronic device when the electronic device accesses the target network device, prompting the electronic device that the second installation package on the target network device has been updated, so that the electronic device determines whether the first version information is lower than the second version information.

[0073] In some embodiments, the target network device is interconnected with multiple network devices. The target network device can send the first installation package to the multiple network devices, so that the multiple network devices update the installation package of the target application stored on the multiple network devices based on the first installation package.

[0074] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a first electronic device obtains first version information of a first installation package of a target application stored in the first electronic device; the first electronic device sends a version information acquisition request to a target network device; when it is determined that the first version information is higher than the second version information, it indicates that the first electronic device may have obtained a higher-level installation package (i.e., the first installation package) from a server or other network devices. At this time, the first electronic device may send the first installation package to the target network device, or when the second version information sent by the target network device is not received, it indicates that the second installation package of the target application does not exist in the target network device. At this time, the first electronic device directly sends the first installation package to the target network device. Thus, based on the first electronic device sending a higher-level installation package to the target network device and the target network device sending the higher-level installation package to other electronic devices (such as a second electronic device) connected to the target network device, other electronic devices can be upgraded based on the installation package, and furthermore, the upgrade process of the application in the electronic device can be completed quickly and reliably, improving the user experience. In addition, based on this process, the electronic device can obtain installation packages not only from the server, thereby reducing the data transmission pressure on the server.

[0075] Further, the target network device receives the version information acquisition request sent by the first electronic device; when it is confirmed that there is second version information of a second installation package of the target application, it indicates that the second version information exists in the target network device, that is, the target network device can send the second version information to the first electronic device. Thus, for a network device (such as the target network device), the target network device can obtain a higher-level application installation package from an electronic device to complete the upgrade of the installation package stored in itself. At the same time, after the target network device upgrades the installation package stored in itself, it can provide the higher-level application installation package for other electronic devices to meet the upgrade process of the other electronic devices, ensuring the effectiveness of the upgrade. In addition, based on this process, the network device can obtain installation packages not only from the server, thereby also reducing the data transmission pressure on the server.

[0076] In some embodiments, the first electronic device may determine whether the first version information is lower than the third version information in response to a trigger event; when the first version information is lower than the third version information, the first electronic device obtains a third application installation package from the server; the first electronic device upgrades the target application based on the third application installation package.

[0077] Wherein, the third version information is the version information of the third application installation package, and the third application installation package is the installation package of the target application stored in the server.

[0078] It should be understood that since the first version information is the version information of the first application installation package, the first application installation package is the installation package of the target application stored in the first electronic device, the third version information is the version information of the third application installation package, and the third application installation package is the installation package of the target application stored in the server. Therefore, when the first version information is lower than the third version information, it indicates that the version information of the installation package of the target application stored in the first electronic device is lower than the version information of the installation package of the target application stored in the server. That is, the first electronic device needs to obtain the installation package of the target application at a higher level. At this time, the first electronic device can obtain the third application installation package from the server.

[0079] In one implementation, the trigger event may include any one of the following: the current time is the polling time (the time when the electronic device determines whether there is a new version information of the application installation package of the target application from the server), the first electronic device is connected to the network, and the first electronic device detects a screen-off event.

[0080] It should be understood that when the trigger event is that the current time is the polling time, the polling time means that there may be a high-level application installation package of the target application on the first electronic device at this time. At this time, the first electronic device determines whether the first version information is lower than the third version information, so that the first electronic device can obtain the high-level application installation package in time when there is a high-level application installation package, so as to ensure that the target application can be upgraded in time.

[0081] When the trigger event is that the first electronic device is connected to the network, that is, after changing from the offline state to the online state, the version information of the target application on the first electronic device may be lower, and there may be a high-version information installation package that can be obtained. At this time, the first electronic device determines whether the first version information is lower than the third version information to ensure the management of the version information of the target application.

[0082] When the trigger event is that the first electronic device detects a screen-off event, the screen-off event indicates that there is an abnormality when the target application is running, which may be caused by the relatively low current version information. At this time, the first electronic device determines whether the first version information is lower than the third version information to assist in troubleshooting the abnormal situation of the application running.

[0083] In an exemplary implementation, the first electronic device sends an installation package acquisition request to the server. The installation package acquisition request may include the identifier of the target application; the server receives the installation package acquisition request; the server sends an installation package acquisition response to the first electronic device, and the installation package acquisition response includes the third application installation package; the first electronic device receives the installation package acquisition response. In this way, the first electronic device obtains the third application installation package.

[0084] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in response to a trigger event, the first electronic device determines whether the first version information is lower than the third version information. Since the first version information is the version information of the first application installation package, the first application installation package is the installation package of the target application stored in the first electronic device, and the third version information is the version information of the third application installation package, and the third application installation package is the installation package of the target application stored in the server. Therefore, when the first version information is lower than the third version information, it indicates that the version information of the installation package of the target application stored in the first electronic device is lower than the version information of the installation package of the target application stored in the server. That is, the first electronic device needs to obtain the installation package of the target application at a higher level. At this time, the first electronic device obtains the third application installation package from the server, and the first electronic device upgrades the target application based on the third application installation package. Furthermore, when the first electronic device is connected to the above-mentioned target network device and the above-mentioned first version information is higher than the above-mentioned second version information, the first electronic device may send a version information update instruction to the above-mentioned target network device to update the above-mentioned second application installation package to the first application installation package. In this way, the first electronic device can obtain the installation package of the application at a higher level and send the installation package of the application at a higher level to the target network device, so that the target network device can send the installation package at a higher level to the second electronic device for the second electronic device to upgrade. Since the second electronic device does not need to obtain the installation package of the application at a higher level from the server again, the upgrade of the second electronic device is ensured to be fast and effective.

[0085] In some embodiments, the first electronic device determines whether the first version information is lower than the third version information specifically as follows: In response to a trigger event, the first electronic device sends a version information acquisition request to the server; the server receives the version information acquisition request sent by the first electronic device; the server sends a version information acquisition response to the first electronic device; the first electronic device receives the version information acquisition response sent by the server; the first electronic device obtains the identifier of the first version information, and determines whether the first version information is lower than the third version information based on the identifier of the first version information and the identifier of the third version information.

[0086] Among them, the version information acquisition request includes the identifier of the target application, and the version information acquisition request is used to request to obtain the version information of the installation package of the target application stored in the server. The version information acquisition response includes the identifier of the third version information.

[0087] In an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the server may determine the identifier of the third version information based on the identifier of the target application, and send the version information acquisition response to the first electronic device based on the identifier of the third version information.

[0088] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, in response to a trigger event, a first electronic device sends a version information acquisition request to a server. The first electronic device receives a version information acquisition response sent by the server. The first electronic device acquires an identifier of the first version information, and determines whether the first version information is lower than the third version information based on the identifier of the first version information and the identifier of the third version information.

[0123] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the target network device analyzes the first installation package to obtain the verification information of the first installation package. The target network device obtains the verification information of the second detection installation package from the server. Since the verification information of the first installation package can represent the information of the first installation package, and the verification information of the second detection installation package can represent the information of the second detection installation package, when the verification information of the first installation package is the same as the verification information of the second detection installation package, it indicates that there is no abnormality in the first installation package.

[0125] S1051 - S1052.

[0126] S1051. The target network device determines a target electronic device based on the respective upload requirement parameters of multiple electronic devices.

[0127] Among them, the target electronic device is the electronic device with the highest upload requirement among the multiple electronic devices.

[0129] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the target network device determines a target electronic device based on the respective upload requirement parameters of multiple electronic devices. Since the target electronic device is the electronic device with the highest upload requirement among the multiple electronic devices, the target network device sends the second version information to the target electronic device. In this way, it can be ensured that the target network device can first communicate with the electronic device with the highest upload requirement, thereby ensuring the reliability and effectiveness of the target network device to upgrade its own installation package.

[0136] It should be understood that when the existence duration is greater than the duration threshold and the number of transmissions is less than the number threshold, it indicates that the second installation package has existed on the target network device for a long time and has been transmitted fewer times. At this time, the target network device can delete the second installation package to release the storage resources of the target network device.

[0137] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the target network device records the existence duration and / or the number of transmissions of the second installation package on the target network device. When the existence duration is greater than the duration threshold and the number of transmissions is less than the number threshold, it indicates that the second installation package has existed on the target network device for a long time and has been transmitted fewer times. At this time, the target network device deletes the second installation package to free the storage resources of the target network device.

[0138] In an implementation manner of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first electronic device sends the first version information to the target network device. The target network device determines whether the first version information is higher than the second version information. If the first version information is higher than the second version information, the target network device sends an installation package acquisition request to the first electronic device. The first electronic device receives the installation package acquisition request and sends the first installation package to the target network device.

The electronic device 406 sends the application installation package to the network device 408. The network device 408 sends the application installation package to the electronic devices 409 and 410 connected under the network device 408.

[0140] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when an electronic device obtains a new version of an application installation package of a target application, it sends the package to a network device, which then sends it to other electronic devices, and these other electronic devices send it to other network devices. In this way, based on the electronic device that obtains the new version of the application installation package of the target application, the new version of the application installation package is transmitted outward, realizing the process that each electronic device that obtains the new version of the application installation package can provide the application installation package update for the network device. Furthermore, the network device can send the new version of the application installation package to the electronic devices that have not obtained the new version of the application installation package, enabling the number of transmissions of the new version of the application installation package to increase exponentially.
