[0002] This application is based on the Chinese patent application with application number 202311572226.4 and application date of November 22, 2023, and claims the priority of the Chinese patent application. The entire content of the Chinese patent application is hereby introduced into this application in its entirety. Technical Field

[0003] The present disclosure relates to the field of network communication technology, and in particular to a terminal device upgrading method, apparatus, electronic device, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0004] Over-the-Air Technology (OTA) is a technology that remotely manages the firmware (also known as software) in terminal devices through the air interface of mobile communications. Especially in the field of Internet of Things, since IoT devices are usually widely distributed or located in remote areas, OTA-based software upgrades can save the upgrade costs of IoT terminals.

[0038] In the related art, during the process of upgrading the software of a terminal device based on OTA technology, the OTA server can broadcast the latest version information of the software to be upgraded to the terminal device. After receiving the latest version information of the target software to be upgraded, the terminal device can directly perform the software upgrade when it determines that the latest version information of the target software and the current version information of the target software in the terminal device are inconsistent. The target software can be any software in the terminal device, such as a device system or a client, etc., and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit this.

[0039] However, the software upgrade method provided in the relevant technology is usually a forced upgrade method, which can achieve reliable upgrade of the target software when the terminal device is in an idle state; however, if the software upgrade is forced when the terminal device is processing other business data, the software upgrade and the processing of business data will compete for resources, or the software upgrade will be directly prioritized, affecting the normal implementation of the business functions of the terminal device.

[0040] To address the aforementioned issues, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a terminal device upgrade solution. Figure 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of an implementation scenario for a terminal device upgrade system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 1 , implementation scenario 100 includes a terminal device 101 and a server 102.

[0041] As shown in FIG1 , when executing the terminal device upgrade solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device 101 may establish a wireless or wired link with the server 102 to implement the terminal device upgrade solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0042] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the server 102 can be a single server, or a cluster of multiple servers, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure. For example, the server 102 can include a software server and a device management server, wherein the software server is used to obtain a target upgrade task to be processed in response to a software upgrade request, and the device management server is used to send a device status acquisition instruction to multiple devices to be upgraded associated with the target upgrade task, and receive the device status information returned by each device to be upgraded, and based on the device status information returned by each device to be upgraded, determine at least one upgradeable device among the multiple devices to be upgraded; further, the software server is used to send a software data packet to be upgraded to each upgradeable device, wherein the upgradeable device is used to perform a software upgrade based on the software data packet to be upgraded.

[0043] FIG2 shows a flow chart of a terminal device upgrade method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The method may be applied to a server. As shown in FIG2 , the method according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may include:

[0044] Step S201, in response to receiving a software upgrade request, obtaining a target upgrade task to be processed;

[0045] Step S202: Send a device status acquisition instruction to multiple devices to be upgraded that are associated with the target upgrade task, and receive device status information returned by each device to be upgraded;

[0046] Step S203: determining at least one upgradeable device among the multiple devices to be upgraded based on the device status information returned by each device to be upgraded;

[0047] Step S204, sending the software data package to be upgraded to each upgradeable device;

[0048] The upgradeable device is used to perform software upgrade based on the software data package to be upgraded.

[0049] To sum up, the terminal device upgrade method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure obtains a target upgrade task to be processed in response to a software upgrade request; sends a device status acquisition instruction to multiple devices to be upgraded associated with the target upgrade task, and receives device status information returned by each device to be upgraded; based on the device status information returned by each device to be upgraded, determines at least one upgradeable device among the multiple devices to be upgraded; sends a software data packet to be upgraded to each upgradeable device; when performing software upgrade on the terminal device, the device status information of the terminal device can be first obtained, and when the device status information of the terminal device indicates that the terminal device can be upgraded, the software data packet to be upgraded is sent to the terminal device, thereby preventing forced upgrade of terminal devices with unsatisfactory device conditions, and improving the rationality of the software upgrade function of the terminal device.

[0050] The specific implementation of each step in the embodiment shown in Figure 2 is described in detail below:

[0051] In step S201 , the server may obtain a target upgrade task to be processed in response to obtaining a software upgrade request.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a software upgrade request may be sent by a terminal device of a software developer, and the software upgrade request may include a software data packet to be upgraded, and a device list of multiple devices to be upgraded; wherein, the software data packet to be upgraded is a data packet of the target software to be upgraded, and the software data packet to be upgraded may include the software package of the target software, as well as the differential package, patch package and rollback package of the target software, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment of the present disclosure; the target software is any software in the terminal device, for example, a device system.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, the server may respond to a software upgrade request, and the process of obtaining a target upgrade task to be processed may include: the server may respond to a software upgrade request, obtain a software data package to be upgraded, and a device list of multiple devices to be upgraded, and create a target upgrade task to be processed based on the software data package to be upgraded and the device list of multiple devices to be upgraded.

[0054] In step S202, the server may send a device status acquisition instruction to multiple devices to be upgraded that are associated with the target upgrade task, and receive device status information returned by each device to be upgraded.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the multiple devices to be upgraded associated with the target upgrade task may include multiple devices to be upgraded that execute the target upgrade task; the device status information may include whether the device is in an idle state, the hardware resource parameters of the device to be upgraded, such as the remaining power and remaining storage space of the device to be upgraded, and the idle waiting time of the device to be upgraded, wherein the idle state of the device to be upgraded refers to a state in which the device to be upgraded does not use network resources and hardware resources, for example, no business data processing or other software upgrades are performed; the idle waiting time is the waiting time for the device to be upgraded to change from a non-idle state to an idle state, and the idle waiting time can be estimated based on the speed at which the device to be upgraded currently processes business based on the terminal device.

[0056] In an optional embodiment, the process of the server sending a device status acquisition instruction to multiple devices to be upgraded associated with a target upgrade task and receiving device status information returned by each device to be upgraded may include: obtaining multiple device identifiers from a device list carried in the target upgrade task, and sending a device status acquisition instruction to the device to be upgraded corresponding to each device identifier. It is understood that the device status acquisition instruction is used to instruct the device to be upgraded to return the device status information of the device to be upgraded to the server.

[0057] In step S203, the server may determine at least one upgradeable device among the multiple devices to be upgraded based on the device status information returned by each device to be upgraded.

[0058] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, an upgradeable device is a device to be upgraded that meets upgrade conditions. The upgrade conditions may include the device to be upgraded being in an idle state. The upgrade conditions may also include the hardware resources of the device to be upgraded meeting the upgrade requirements. Whether the hardware resources meet the upgrade requirements can be determined based on actual needs and is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, the remaining storage space of the device to be upgraded is greater than the data volume of the software data package to be upgraded, and / or the remaining power of the device to be upgraded is greater than or equal to a preset power threshold. It will be understood that the upgrade condition including the device to be upgraded being in an idle state can ensure that the software upgrade does not affect other business processing in the terminal device; the upgrade condition including the hardware resources of the device to be upgraded meeting the upgrade requirements can ensure the success rate of the software upgrade.

[0059] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the server can provide software developers with the ability to upgrade multiple devices to be upgraded according to different upgrade consistency requirements. The software upgrade request sent by the software developer can also include upgrade consistency information, which is used to characterize the degree of upgrade consistency of the multiple devices to be upgraded. If the upgrade consistency information indicates that the degree of upgrade consistency of the multiple devices to be upgraded is low, the server successfully upgrades the upgradeable devices among the multiple devices to be upgraded, indicating that the upgrade task is successfully executed; if the upgrade consistency information indicates that the degree of upgrade consistency of the multiple devices to be upgraded is medium, the server successfully upgrades the upgradeable devices among the multiple devices to be upgraded, and successfully delays the upgrade of the non-upgradeable devices among the multiple devices to be upgraded, indicating that the upgrade task is successfully executed; if the upgrade consistency information indicates that the degree of upgrade consistency of the multiple devices to be upgraded is high, the server successfully upgrades the multiple devices to be upgraded synchronously, indicating that the upgrade task is successfully executed.

[0060] In an optional embodiment, the process of determining at least one upgradeable device among multiple devices to be upgraded based on the device status information returned by each device to be upgraded may include: determining at least one upgradeable device among multiple devices to be upgraded based on the upgrade consistency information in the target upgrade task and the device status information returned by each device to be upgraded. It should be noted that in the process of the server creating a target upgrade task, the upgrade consistency information obtained from the software upgrade request can be added to the target upgrade task; based on the user's upgrade consistency requirements and device status for multiple devices to be upgraded, the device that can be upgraded can be determined among multiple devices to be upgraded, which will not affect other business processing of the devices to be upgraded, and can also meet the diverse needs of software upgrades and improve the software upgrade experience of software developers.

[0061] In an optional embodiment, based on the upgrade consistency information in the target upgrade task and the device status information returned by each device to be upgraded, the process of determining at least one upgradeable device among multiple devices to be upgraded may include: if the upgrade consistency information indicates that the upgrade consistency of the multiple devices to be upgraded is low or medium, then determining as an upgradeable device the device to be upgraded whose device status information indicates that it meets the upgrade conditions. If the upgrade consistency of multiple devices to be upgraded is medium or low, the device to be upgraded that meets the upgrade conditions among the multiple devices to be upgraded may be determined as an upgradeable device, thereby satisfying the software developer's software upgrade requirements under medium and low upgrade consistency requirements.

[0062] In an optional embodiment, the server determines at least one upgradeable device among multiple devices to be upgraded based on the upgrade consistency information in the target upgrade task and the device status information returned by each device to be upgraded. The process may include: if the upgrade consistency information indicates that the upgrade consistency level of multiple devices to be upgraded is high, then according to the device status information of each device to be upgraded, determine the synchronous upgrade time of the multiple devices to be upgraded, and determine each device to be upgraded as an upgradeable device; when the upgrade consistency of multiple devices to be upgraded is high, the synchronous upgrade time when the multiple devices to be upgraded are all in an idle state can be determined according to the device status information of each device to be upgraded, so that the multiple devices to be upgraded can be upgraded at the synchronous upgrade time, meeting the software upgrade needs of the software developer under the medium and high upgrade consistency requirements.

[0063] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, multiple devices to be upgraded may all be in an idle state, or all be in a non-space state, or some be in an idle state. The process by which the server determines the synchronous upgrade time of multiple devices to be upgraded based on the device status information of each device to be upgraded may include: if the device status information of each device to be upgraded indicates that the device to be upgraded is in an idle state, then the current moment is determined as the synchronous upgrade time of multiple devices to be upgraded; or, if the device status information of each device to be upgraded indicates that the device to be upgraded is in a non-idle state, then the idle waiting time in the device status information of each device to be upgraded is obtained, and the first longest idle waiting time among the multiple idle waiting times is determined, and the moment after the current moment is delayed by the first longest idle waiting time is determined as the synchronous upgrade time of multiple devices to be upgraded; or, if the device status information of at least one device to be upgraded indicates that at least one device to be upgraded is in a non-idle state, then the idle waiting time in the device status information of at least one non-idle device to be upgraded is obtained, and the second longest idle waiting time among the at least one idle waiting time is determined, and the moment after the current moment is delayed by the second longest idle waiting time is determined as the synchronous upgrade time of multiple devices to be upgraded.

[0064] In an optional embodiment, when the software developer has no requirements for upgrade consistency of multiple devices to be upgraded, the software upgrade request may not carry upgrade consistency information. The server then determines, based on the device status information returned by each device to be upgraded, that at least one upgradeable device among multiple devices to be upgraded. The process may include: determining, among the multiple devices to be upgraded, a device whose device status information indicates that the device meets the upgrade conditions as an upgradeable device.

[0065] In step S204, the server may send a software data package to be upgraded to each upgradeable device.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the upgradeable device is used to perform software upgrade based on the software data package to be upgraded. It is understandable that the software upgraded by the upgradeable device is the target software.

[0067] In an optional embodiment, the process of the server sending the software data package to be upgraded to each upgradeable device may include: the server may send the software data package to be upgraded to each upgradeable device based on the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol. It is understandable that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, during the deployment phase of the terminal device, the terminal device may be configured so that the terminal device subscribes to a target topic, so that during the software upgrade phase, the server may publish the software data package to be upgraded to the target topic and synchronize it to the upgradeable device, wherein the target topic may be the identifier of the target software. Since the terminal device and the server are in a long link state during the process of transmitting the software data package based on MQTT, the resource overhead in the process of the server synchronizing the software data package to the terminal device can be reduced, and the efficiency of data package transmission can be improved.

[0068] It should be noted that in the disclosed embodiment, if the upgrade consistency information indicates that the upgrade consistency of multiple devices to be upgraded is high, the process of the server sending the upgrade software data package to each upgradeable device may include: sending the upgrade software data package to each upgradeable device at the synchronization upgrade time. This facilitates the simultaneous upgrade of multiple terminal devices to be upgraded in scenarios with high upgrade consistency requirements.

[0069] It should also be noted that in an embodiment of the present disclosure, if the upgrade consistency of multiple devices to be upgraded is medium, it is necessary to delay the upgrade of non-upgradeable devices among the multiple devices to be upgraded. In an optional embodiment, if the upgrade consistency information indicates that the upgrade consistency of the multiple devices to be upgraded is medium, the server can also determine the upgrade delay period for the delayed upgrade device based on the device status information of the delayed upgrade device among the multiple devices to be upgraded. Furthermore, a delayed upgrade instruction generated based on the upgrade delay period is sent to the delayed upgrade device, wherein the delayed upgrade device is a non-upgradeable device among the multiple devices to be upgraded, and the delayed upgrade instruction is used to instruct the delayed upgrade device to perform a software upgrade based on the upgrade software data package sent by the server after the upgrade delay period. It is understood that after the upgrade delay period, the server can send the upgrade software data package to each delayed upgrade device. If the upgrade consistency of multiple devices to be upgraded is medium, the device to be upgraded that cannot be upgraded at the current time among the multiple devices to be upgraded can be determined as a delayed upgrade device, and the delayed upgrade device is delayed to meet the software upgrade requirements of the software developer under the medium upgrade consistency requirement.

[0070] Among them, the process of the server determining the upgrade delay period of the delayed upgrade device based on the device status information of the delayed upgrade device among multiple devices to be upgraded may include: for each delayed upgrade device, if the device status information indicates that the delayed upgrade device is in a non-idle state, then the idle state waiting time of the delayed upgrade device is determined as the upgrade delay period; or, if the device status information indicates that the remaining power of the delayed upgrade device is less than a preset power threshold, then the difference between the current moment and the moment when the first feedback information is obtained is determined as the upgrade delay period, wherein the first feedback information is used to indicate that the remaining power of the delayed upgrade device is greater than or equal to the preset power threshold; or, if the device status information indicates that the remaining storage space of the delayed upgrade device is less than or equal to the data volume of the software data package to be upgraded, then the difference between the current moment and the moment when the second feedback information is obtained is determined as the upgrade delay period, wherein the second feedback information is used to indicate that the remaining storage space of the delayed upgrade device is greater than the data volume of the software data package to be upgraded.

[0071] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the number of upgradeable terminal devices includes multiple cases, there are scenarios where multiple upgradeable devices need to be upgraded in sequence; for example; the terminal device can access the network through a base station to establish a link with the server, and the number of devices that each base station can serve at the same time will be limited. Therefore, when the number of upgradeable devices is multiple, the multiple upgradeable devices can be upgraded in batches. During the upgrade of a batch of terminal devices, the next batch of terminal devices that need to be upgraded can be notified to wait, so as to achieve efficient and orderly upgrade of multiple terminal devices; or, there is a dependency relationship between multiple upgradeable devices. During the upgrade of the upgradeable devices, other upgradeable devices that depend on the upgradeable device being upgraded can be notified to wait, so as to achieve efficient and orderly upgrade of terminal devices with dependencies.

[0072] In an optional embodiment, when there are multiple upgradeable devices, before sending the software data package to be upgraded to each upgradeable device, the server may further determine the upgrade duration of each upgradeable device based on historical upgrade information. The process of the server sending the software data package to be upgraded to each upgradeable device may then include: sending the software data package to be upgraded to a first upgradeable device among the multiple upgradeable devices, and sending a first upgrade deferral instruction to a second upgradeable device, wherein the first upgrade deferral instruction is generated based on the first upgrade duration of the first upgradeable device, and the first upgrade deferral instruction is used to instruct the second upgradeable device to perform a software upgrade according to the software data package to be upgraded sent by the server after deferring the software data package to be upgraded sent by the server for the first upgrade duration, and the upgrade order of the second upgradeable device among the multiple upgradeable devices is later than that of the first upgradeable device. For multiple upgradeable devices that have a sequential upgrade order, after sending the software data package to be upgraded to the first upgradeable device among the multiple upgradeable devices, the server may send the upgrade deferral instruction to the second upgradeable device that has an upgrade order later than the first upgradeable device, so that the second upgradeable device can prepare for the upgrade, thereby improving the upgrade order of the multiple upgradeable devices that have a sequential upgrade order.

[0073] Among them, the historical upgrade information is the upgrade information parameters of at least one historical upgrade process within a historical period, wherein the upgrade information parameters can be dimensions such as software data packet size data, network status data and upgrade duration. The process of the server determining the upgrade duration of each upgradeable device based on the historical upgrade information may include: for each upgradeable device, determining a first ratio of the historical software data packet size to the size of the software data packet to be upgraded, and determining a second ratio of the historical network status data to the current network status data of each upgradeable device, then determining the product of the first ratio and the second ratio to obtain a time ratio parameter, and finally determining the product of the time ratio parameter and the historical upgrade duration to obtain the upgrade duration of each upgradeable device.

[0074] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the historical upgrade information may be information on the historical upgrade process of the terminal devices in the area where the upgradeable device is located, or information on the historical upgrade process of the terminal devices in the area where the upgradeable device is located; wherein, when the historical information includes information on multiple historical upgrade processes, the upgrade duration of the upgradeable device based on each historical upgrade process can be determined, and the average of the upgrade durations determined based on multiple historical upgrade processes can be determined as the upgrade duration of the upgradeable device.

[0075] It can be understood that in the scenario where multiple upgradeable devices are upgraded in batches, the first upgradeable device is an upgradeable device in the first upgradeable device set among multiple upgradeable device sets determined based on the multiple upgradeable devices, and the second upgradeable device is an upgradeable device in the second upgradeable device set among the multiple upgradeable device sets, wherein the upgrade order of the upgradeable devices in the second upgradeable device set is later than the upgradeable devices in the second upgradeable device set; it should be noted that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the batching rules for batching the multiple upgradeable devices and determining the upgrade order of the multiple upgradeable device sets can be determined based on actual needs, and the embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit this; for example, the multiple upgradeable devices can be randomly divided into multiple upgradeable device sets of the same number, the first upgradeable device set is any one of the multiple upgradeable device sets, the second upgradeable device set is also any one of the multiple upgradeable device sets, and the upgradeable device set and the second upgradeable device set are different.

[0076] In an optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, Figure 3 shows an interactive relationship diagram of a terminal device upgrading method, wherein, after the server sends a software data packet to be upgraded to a first upgradeable device among multiple upgradeable devices and sends a first postpone upgrade instruction to a second upgradeable device, if an upgrade suspension request is received from the first upgradeable device during the process of sending the software data packet to be upgraded to the first upgradeable device, the server may suspend sending fragments of the software data packet to be upgraded to the first upgradeable device and send fragments of the software data packet to be upgraded to the second upgradeable device; then, after receiving a continue push instruction sent by the first upgradeable device, suspend sending fragments of the software data packet to be upgraded to the second upgradeable device and send the remaining fragments of the software data packet to be upgraded to the first upgradeable device; further, after determining that the upgrade of the first upgradeable device is completed, send the remaining fragments of the software data packet to be upgraded to the second upgradeable device. Terminal devices that are in the process of upgrading can be allowed to pause the software upgrade process so that the terminal devices that are in the process of upgrading can process business data that is more urgent than the software upgrade business, thereby ensuring the normal progress of business processing; at the same time, after the terminal device in the process of upgrading pauses the upgrade, the software data packets to be upgraded can be sent to the terminal devices waiting for upgrade that are located after the terminal device that paused the upgrade in the upgrade order, and the pause time can be used to push the software data packets to be upgraded to the terminal devices waiting for upgrade, thereby improving the upgrade efficiency while ensuring the orderly upgrade of terminal devices in a certain order.

[0077] In an optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 4, Figure 4 shows an interactive flow chart of a terminal device upgrade method, wherein a dependency relationship exists between multiple upgradeable devices, and the first upgradeable device is a source-end upgradeable device among the multiple upgradeable devices with a dependency relationship, wherein the source-end upgradeable device is an upgradeable device without a dependent device among the multiple upgradeable devices with a dependency relationship. After the server sends a software data packet to be upgraded to a first upgradeable device among multiple upgradeable devices and sends a first upgrade postponement instruction to a second upgradeable device, the server may further: if it is determined that the actual upgrade duration of the first upgradeable device is less than the first upgrade duration and the second upgradeable device is in a dormant state, then after the upgrade of the source-end upgradeable device is completed, send fragments of the software data packet to be upgraded to a third upgradeable device that depends on the second upgradeable device among the multiple upgradeable devices; then, after a target duration, send the software data packet to be upgraded to the second upgradeable device, and send a second upgrade postponement instruction generated based on the second upgrade duration of the second upgradeable device to the third upgradeable device, wherein the first upgrade postponement instruction is used to instruct the third upgradeable device to perform a software upgrade according to the software data packet to be upgraded sent by the server after postponing the second upgrade duration, and the target duration is the difference between the first upgrade duration and the actual upgrade duration of the first upgradeable device. For multiple upgradeable devices with dependent relationships, if the terminal device being upgraded is completed ahead of time and the dependent device of the terminal device that has been upgraded in advance is in sleep mode, the software data packet to be upgraded is sent to the next dependent device, so as to use the device sleep time to push the software data packet to be upgraded to the terminal device waiting for upgrade. Under the premise of ensuring the orderly upgrade of the terminal devices with dependent relationships, the upgrade efficiency of multiple upgradeable devices with dependent relationships is improved.

[0078] Specifically, after receiving the first upgrade postponement instruction, the second upgradeable device may begin to wait for the software data packet to be upgraded sent by the server to perform the software upgrade; however, if the waiting time exceeds a preset time period set by the user, the second upgradeable device may enter a dormant state to reduce energy consumption of the terminal device. It is understood that after receiving the first upgrade postponement instruction, if the second upgradeable device enters a dormant state, it may automatically wake up and perform the upgrade after delaying the first upgrade time period from the time of receiving the first upgrade postponement instruction; after the upgrade of the second upgradeable device is completed, the server may continue to send the remaining fragments of the software data packet to be upgraded to the third upgradeable device to facilitate the upgrade of the third upgradeable device.

[0079] It is understandable that for multiple upgradeable devices with dependencies, after one upgradeable device is successfully upgraded, the next upgradeable device that depends on it can be upgraded, but this does not affect the server sending the software data package to be upgraded to each upgradeable device.

[0080] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, for each upgradeable device, after obtaining the software data package to be upgraded, it is necessary to use the verification information sent by the server to verify the software data package to be upgraded, and if the verification is successful, complete the upgrade and restart and update the software version number, and at the same time send the upgrade success information to the server so that the service can determine that the upgrade status of the upgradeable device is a successful upgrade.

[0081] The above mainly introduces the solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure from the perspective of the server. It can be understood that in order to realize the above functions, the server includes hardware structures and / or software modules corresponding to the execution of each function.
