Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for downloading software to intelligent terminals with eMMC or UFS memory cards are inefficient due to the need for separate software support and lack of efficient identification of memory card types.
Innovation Solution
A program download method that identifies the memory card type using a dial switch connected to a CPU GPIO pin, allowing for automatic selection and download of the corresponding configuration file, enabling efficient and accurate configuration of the intelligent terminal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If separate software is provided for eMMC and UFS memory cards, then compatibility with different memory card types is improved, but device complexity and maintenance difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal software architecture that can handle both eMMC and UFS memory card types through a single codebase. The system uses abstracted interface layers and configuration files that adapt to different memory card types without requiring separate software versions, thereby maintaining compatibility while reducing complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes parameter-based configuration where different memory card types are distinguished by specific parameters (such as memory card identifiers or hardware revision codes). The software reads these parameters and automatically adjusts its behavior accordingly, allowing a single software version to support multiple memory card types through parameter-driven adaptation.
2Measurement precision
If special software versions are downloaded for specific memory card types, then configuration accuracy is improved, but download efficiency and time consumption worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary identification of the memory card type during the software download preparation phase. The system detects the memory card type beforehand and pre-selects the appropriate configuration parameters, so that when software is downloaded, the correct version is immediately retrieved without requiring post-download configuration or multiple download attempts, thereby maintaining accuracy while reducing time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a feedback mechanism where the system queries the memory card type information during the download process, receives feedback about the specific hardware configuration, and automatically adjusts the software selection accordingly. This real-time feedback loop ensures the correct software version is downloaded without manual intervention or time-consuming trial-and-error processes.
3Measurement precision
If manual configuration is used for memory card types, then configuration accuracy can be ensured, but operation convenience and productivity decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-service configuration system where the intelligent terminal automatically detects its own memory card type and configures the appropriate software settings without requiring manual user input. The system reads hardware identifiers, automatically selects the correct configuration parameters, and completes the setup process autonomously, thereby maintaining accuracy while dramatically improving convenience and reducing user burden.

AI summary
Disclosed in the present invention are a program download method for an intelligent terminal and an intelligent terminal. The program download method for an intelligent terminal comprises the following steps: identifying a memory card identifier of an intelligent terminal, the memory card identifier being used for representing the type of a memory card of the intelligent terminal; obtaining a target configuration file, the target configuration file being a configuration file corresponding to the memory card identifier; and downloading the target configuration file to the intelligent terminal. In the present invention, the type of the memory card of the intelligent terminal can be automatically identified, such that the corresponding target configuration file is automatically obtained according to the type of the memory card so as to configure the intelligent terminal, and thus, the intelligent terminal can normally access the memory card. This solution achieves effective and accurate download configuration.
