AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing upgrade solutions for private smart home hubs rely on network connectivity, which makes upgrades impossible in environments with no network coverage or unstable networks, poses security risks, can easily lead to service interruptions during application upgrades, causes conflicts due to database and application version mismatches, and results in poor coordination between system and device upgrades, thus affecting user experience.

Method used

Upgrades are triggered by monitoring USB drive mounting, and a dual Docker-compose orchestration strategy is used to achieve seamless switching of Java applications. Flyway database version management tools are integrated for database migration, and system-level upgrades and device firmware upgrades are carried out in tandem to form a closed-loop upgrade chain.

Benefits of technology

It enables offline upgrades in environments without a network, ensuring uninterrupted application operation, database and application version synchronization, and system and device version matching, thereby improving the security of the upgrade process and the user experience.

Abstract

This invention discloses an upgrade method, system, device, and medium for a private smart home hub. The method is executed by the smart home hub deployed on the user's local host: responding to USB flash drive mounting, identifying the upgrade identifier file, and obtaining upgrade configuration information; based on the upgrade configuration information, using dual Docker-Compos orchestration to achieve non-disruptive application upgrades: identifying the current service port and configuration, starting the new version service, switching the port and shutting down the old service after a health check; when the new version service starts, integrating Flyway to execute the database migration script to complete the database synchronous upgrade; after completing the application and database upgrades, executing the system-level upgrade file on the USB flash drive; after completing the system-level upgrade, initiating firmware upgrades to smart home devices within the local area network based on the device upgrade package on the USB flash drive. This invention achieves a full-link upgrade process that is triggered offline, ensures uninterrupted application operation, coordinates data and applications, and links the system and devices.
