[0004] However, this method of program upgrades, which requires wired communication equipment, is complex and reduces the convenience of upgrading the starter battery. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a method and system for upgrading the program of a starter battery, in order to solve the technical problem of low convenience in upgrading the program of a starter battery in the prior art.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a method for upgrading the program of a starter battery, applied to a controller of the starter battery, wherein the starter battery includes a wireless communication module, and the starter battery is communicatively connected to a host computer through the wireless communication module; the method includes:

[0007] The wireless communication module sends a file information request frame to the host computer to instruct the host computer to send the file information frame corresponding to the file to be burned after pagination processing to the controller. After receiving the file information frame, the wireless communication module sequentially sends several frame data request frames to the host computer based on the file information frame, so as to instruct the host computer to send the frame data corresponding to the frame data request frame to the controller after receiving each frame data request frame. The controller receives the frame data corresponding to each of the frame data request frames and upgrades the program installed on the controller based on the frame data corresponding to each of the frame data request frames.

[0008] Optionally, before sending the file information request frame to the host computer via the wireless communication module, the method further includes: The wireless communication module sends a boot program information frame to the host computer to instruct the host computer to perform paging processing on the file to be burned in the host computer according to the boot program information frame, and sends a first response frame to the controller. The specific steps of sending a file information request frame to the host computer via the wireless communication module are as follows: After receiving the first response frame, the file information request frame is sent to the host computer through the wireless communication module.

[0009] Optionally, the controller stores a bootloader; before sending the bootloader information frame to the host computer via the wireless communication module, the method further includes: Upon receiving the instruction to run the boot program from the host computer, the boot program is run to enter the program upgrade state, and a second response frame is sent to the host computer to instruct the host computer to enter the program upgrade state.

[0013] Optionally, upgrading the program installed on the controller based on the frame data corresponding to each frame data request frame includes: For each frame data request frame, the frame data is subjected to data integrity verification based on the cyclic redundancy check value of the frame data. If all the frame data corresponding to any page data passes the data integrity verification, the page data is subjected to data integrity verification based on the cyclic redundancy check value of the page data. If the page data passes the data integrity verification, the page data is determined to have passed the verification. The program installed on the controller is upgraded based on the verified page data.

[0014] Optionally, after upgrading the program installed on the controller based on the frame data corresponding to each frame data request frame, the method further includes: Based on the overall cyclic redundancy check value of the file to be burned after pagination processing, the upgraded program is subjected to data integrity verification.

[0015] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a method for upgrading the program of a starter battery, applied to a host computer, wherein the host computer is communicatively connected to the wireless communication module of the starter battery; the method includes: After receiving the file information request frame sent by the wireless communication module, the controller sends the file information frame corresponding to the file to be burned after paging processing to the controller, so as to instruct the controller to send a number of frame data request frames to the host computer in sequence through the wireless communication module after receiving the file information frame. After each frame data request frame is received, the corresponding frame data is sent to the controller to instruct the controller to receive the frame data corresponding to each frame data request frame and to upgrade the program installed on the controller according to the frame data corresponding to each frame data request frame.

[0016] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a controller for a starting battery, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, characterized in that the processor, when executing the computer program, implements a program upgrade method for the starting battery as described in any of the first aspects.

Therefore, the phrases "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," "in still other embodiments," etc., appearing in different parts of this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but rather mean "one or more, but not all, embodiments," unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0025] In existing technologies, common methods for upgrading starter battery programs typically employ wired communication, which suffers from poor convenience. Some methods utilize wireless communication, but these methods usually involve a host computer actively pushing program information to the starter battery controller. Since wireless communication typically has a slow information exchange rate, these methods are prone to data loss, ultimately resulting in a low success rate for starter battery program upgrades.

[0026] Based on this, this application provides a method for upgrading the program of a starter battery, which solves the technical problems of poor convenience and low success rate of existing starter battery program upgrade methods.

[0027] The starting battery program upgrade method provided in this application can be executed by the starting battery controller and a host computer. This method can be applied to any scenario requiring a starting battery program upgrade. When an upgrade is needed, the starting battery controller and host computer can execute the steps of the method, thereby achieving the program upgrade and resolving the technical problems of poor convenience and low success rate in existing starting battery program upgrade methods.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the implementation of a startup battery program upgrade method provided in this application embodiment. The startup battery program upgrade method provided in this application embodiment can be applied to a startup battery controller. The startup battery includes a wireless communication module, and the startup battery is connected to a host computer via the wireless communication module. The startup battery program upgrade method may include steps S101 to S103, detailed below: In S101, a file information request frame is sent to the host computer via the wireless communication module to instruct the host computer to send the file information frame corresponding to the file to be burned after paging processing to the controller.

[0029] In the embodiments of this application, the wireless communication module may include, but is not limited to, a Bluetooth communication module. Specifically, the Bluetooth communication module may be a low-power Bluetooth communication module.

[0030] Before the controller sends a file information request frame to the host computer via the wireless communication module, the controller can first execute steps a to b, as detailed below: In step a, after receiving the instruction to run the boot program from the host computer, the boot program is run to enter the program upgrade state, and a second response frame is sent to the host computer to indicate that the host computer has entered the program upgrade state.

[0031] In this implementation, the controller can store a boot program. When the host computer needs to update the program of the starter battery, it can send a boot program execution command to the starter battery controller. Based on this, after receiving the boot program execution command sent by the host computer, the controller can run the boot program to enter the program upgrade state and send a second response frame (which can be a general response frame) to the host computer to instruct the host computer to enter the program upgrade state.

[0032] This step puts both the controller and the host computer into a program upgrade state, enabling them to execute the specific steps for subsequent program upgrades.

[0033] For example, the instruction to run the bootloader can be specifically an instruction to run "Bootloader", and the bootloader can be the "Bootloader" program.

[0034] It should be noted that this step does not contradict the "starter battery controller actively requests information, and the host computer passively responds" approach used in this solution. This is because the purpose of this step is to ensure that both the controller and the host computer enter the program upgrade state. Once both are in this state, the "starter battery controller actively requests information, and the host computer passively responds" process takes place. Furthermore, in practical applications, only the host computer can determine whether a program update is needed, while the starter battery controller cannot. Therefore, the host computer must send a bootloader command to the controller to instruct it to enter the program upgrade state.

[0035] In step b, a boot program information frame is sent to the host computer via the wireless communication module to instruct the host computer to perform paging processing on the file to be burned in the host computer according to the boot program information frame, and to send a first response frame to the controller.

[0036] In this implementation, after the controller enters the program upgrade state, the controller can send a boot program information frame to the host computer through the wireless communication module. The boot program information frame may include at least one or more of the following information: the flash memory page size of the controller, the version information of the boot program stored in the controller, and the maximum storage file size of the controller.

[0037] After receiving the bootloader information frame, the host computer can perform paging processing on the file to be written in the host computer according to the information included in the bootloader information frame, and send a first response frame to the controller. When the host computer performs paging processing on the file to be written in the host computer, the blank part of the last page can be filled with a preset padding character.

[0038] After receiving the first response frame, the controller can determine that the host computer has completed the paging process of the file to be burned. Based on this, the controller can send a file information request frame to the host computer via the wireless communication module after receiving the first response frame. The file information request frame is used to instruct the host computer to send the file information frame of the paging-processed file to be burned to the controller.

[0039] The file information frame includes at least one or more of the following information: the size of the file to be burned after paging, the total number of pages in the file to be burned after paging, and the overall cyclic redundancy check value of the file to be burned after paging.

[0040] In S102, after receiving the file information frame, the system sequentially sends several frame data request frames to the host computer via the wireless communication module, instructing the host computer to send the frame data corresponding to the frame data request frame to the controller after receiving each frame data request frame.

[0041] In this embodiment, after receiving a file information frame, the controller can generate several frame data request frames based on the size of the paginated file to be burned and the total number of pages in the paginated file to be burned. The number of frame data request frames can be determined by both the size of the paginated file to be burned and the total number of pages in the paginated file to be burned. For example, if the total number of pages in the paginated file to be burned is 10 pages, and each page corresponds to 5 frames, then the controller can generate 50 frame data request frames. Each frame data request frame can include at least one or more of the following information: the specified target page number corresponding to any frame data request frame, the frame sequence number corresponding to any frame data request frame, and the frame data size corresponding to any frame data request frame.

[0042] After the controller generates several frame data request frames, it can sequentially send each frame data request frame to the host computer via the wireless communication module. For example, it can first send a frame data request frame with the target page number as page 1 and the target frame sequence number as frame 1 to the host computer, then send a frame data request frame with the target page number as page 1 and the target frame sequence number as frame 2 to the host computer, and so on.

[0043] In one possible implementation, to ensure the controller does not lose data, it can send the next frame data request frame to the host computer after receiving the frame data corresponding to the previous frame data request frame. For example, the controller can receive the frame data corresponding to a frame data request frame with the target page number being the first page and the target frame sequence number being the first frame, and then send a frame data request frame with the target page number being the first page and the target frame sequence number being the second frame to the host computer.

[0044] In S103, the frame data corresponding to each frame data request frame is received, and the program installed on the controller is upgraded according to the frame data corresponding to each frame data request frame.

[0045] In this embodiment, after receiving the frame data corresponding to each frame data request frame, the controller can first perform data integrity verification on the frame data corresponding to each frame data request frame based on the cyclic redundancy check value of the frame data corresponding to that frame data; if all the frame data corresponding to any page data passes the data integrity verification, then the page data is verified for data integrity based on the cyclic redundancy check value of the page data corresponding to that arbitrary page data; if the page data passes the data integrity verification, then the page data verification is determined to be successful.

[0046] Specifically, after receiving the frame data corresponding to each frame data request frame, the controller can perform a data integrity check on the frame data based on the cyclic redundancy check value of the frame data included in the frame data request frame. If the data integrity check of the frame data fails, the controller can resend the corresponding frame data request frame to the host computer to instruct the host computer to resend the frame data corresponding to the frame data request frame.

[0047] Specifically, if all frames corresponding to any page of data pass the data integrity check, the controller can send a page data cyclic redundancy request frame to the host computer, instructing the host computer to send the page data cyclic redundancy value corresponding to that page of data. Then, the controller can perform a data integrity check on that page of data based on the page data cyclic redundancy value. If the page data passes the data integrity check, the page data is considered to have passed the check. If the page data fails the check, the controller can resend a frame data request frame corresponding to that page of data to the host computer, instructing the host computer to resend all frames corresponding to that page of data.

[0048] For example, if a page of data includes 5 frames, and all 5 frames pass the data integrity check, the controller can send a page data cyclic redundancy request frame to the host computer, instructing the host computer to send the page data cyclic redundancy value corresponding to that page of data. Then, the controller can perform a data integrity check on that page of data based on the corresponding page data cyclic redundancy value. If the page data check fails, the controller can resend a request frame for the 5 frames corresponding to that page of data to the host computer, instructing the host computer to resend the 5 frames corresponding to that page of data.

[0049] After confirming that all page data has passed verification, the controller can upgrade the installed program based on the verified page data. Specifically, the controller can write the verified page data into its flash memory to upgrade the installed program.

[0050] In one possible implementation, after upgrading the program installed on the controller, the controller can also perform data integrity verification on the upgraded program based on the overall cyclic redundancy check value of the file to be burned after pagination processing.

[0051] If the upgraded program passes the data integrity verification, the controller can send a message to the host computer indicating that the program upgrade was successful. If the upgraded program fails the data integrity verification, the controller can re-execute each step of the program upgrade method for starting the battery provided in this application embodiment until the upgraded program passes the data integrity verification.

[0052] By performing data integrity checks on each frame of data, each page of data, and the upgraded program, it can be ensured that the controller can completely receive the data sent by the host computer, avoiding data loss and improving the success rate of the starter battery program upgrade.

[0053] As can be seen from the above, the starting battery program upgrade method provided in this application embodiment is applied to the controller of the starting battery. The starting battery includes a wireless communication module, and the starting battery is connected to a host computer through the wireless communication module. The method includes: sending a file information request frame to the host computer through the wireless communication module to instruct the host computer to send a file information frame corresponding to the file to be burned after pagination processing to the controller; after receiving the file information frame, according to the file information frame, sequentially sending a number of frame data request frames to the host computer through the wireless communication module to instruct the host computer to send the frame data corresponding to the frame data request frame to the controller after receiving each frame data request frame; receiving the frame data corresponding to each frame data request frame, and upgrading the program installed on the controller according to the frame data corresponding to each frame data request frame. Through this solution, the program upgrade of the starting battery can be realized through the wireless communication module, improving the convenience of the program upgrade of the starting battery. In addition, this solution adopts the information interaction mode of "the starting battery controller actively requests information, and the host computer passively responds to information", which solves the problem of data loss caused by the slow information interaction rate of wireless communication technology.

[0054] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 The following is a flowchart illustrating the implementation of a startup battery program upgrade method according to another embodiment of this application. The startup battery program upgrade method provided in this embodiment can be applied to a host computer, wherein the host computer can communicate with the startup battery's wireless communication module. The startup battery program upgrade method may include steps S201-S202, detailed below: In S201, after receiving the file information request frame sent by the wireless communication module, the controller sends the file information frame corresponding to the file to be burned after paging processing, so as to instruct the controller to send a number of frame data request frames to the host computer in sequence through the wireless communication module after receiving the file information frame.

[0055] In this embodiment of the application, before receiving the file information request frame sent by the wireless communication module, the host computer can send a run boot program instruction to the controller of the starting battery, so as to instruct the controller to run the boot program to enter the program upgrade state after receiving the run boot program instruction sent by the host computer, and send a second response frame to the host computer. After receiving the second response frame, the host computer enters the program upgrade state.

[0056] Afterwards, the host computer can receive the boot program information frame sent by the controller, and can perform paging processing on the file to be burned in the host computer according to the boot program information frame, and send a first response frame to the controller to instruct the controller to send a file information request frame to the host computer through the wireless communication module after receiving the first response frame.

[0057] After receiving the file information request frame sent by the wireless communication module, the system sends the file information frame corresponding to the file to be burned after paging to the controller, instructing the controller to send several frame data request frames to the host computer in sequence through the wireless communication module after receiving the file information frame.

[0058] In S202, after each frame data request frame is received, the frame data corresponding to the frame data request frame is sent to the controller to instruct the controller to receive the frame data corresponding to each frame data request frame and upgrade the program installed on the controller according to the frame data corresponding to each frame data request frame.

[0059] In this embodiment of the application, after receiving a frame data request frame each time, the host computer can send the frame data corresponding to the frame data request frame to the controller, so as to instruct the controller to receive the frame data corresponding to each frame data request frame, and upgrade the program installed on the controller according to the frame data corresponding to each frame data request frame.
