The invention relates to a continuous service software updating method and system. The method comprises, firstly, when a main module detects that a new module exists in a network server, according to equipment information, performing applicability analysis on the new module in the server, and after the new module is determined to be applicable to equipment, downloading the new module to the local equipment or a local network; secondly, selecting an appropriate time point, stopping old module and starting the new module, performing a functional test on the new module, if the new module fails in starting or passing the functional test, automatically returning to the old modules, performing feedback reporting to the server; lastly, if the new module is successfully started and passes the test, modifying the configuration information of the equipment, ensuring that during subsequent work, a user can use the new module after rebooting the equipment. The continuous service software updating method and system can significantly improve the user experience of electronic equipment and devices.
