According to the embodiment of the invention, when the household appliance judges that the obtained version number is higher than the currently running version number, the software of the household appliance can be directly upgraded according to the obtained version information of the latest version software; the home appliance can automatically acquire version information for remote upgrading, so that after-sales personnel do not need to wait for manual upgrading, the use experience of a user is improved, and the after-sales cost is saved.
As a possible implementation mode, the latest version software in the server is related to the usual operation habit and preference of the user, and is used for meeting the personalized requirements of the user. The software upgrading method of the household appliance specifically comprises the following steps, as shown in fig. 2:
step 201, acquiring an operation process executed by a user on an operation panel of the household appliance or a bound client.
The operation process includes a selection operation on a program, a setting operation on a parameter, a setting operation on a function option, a setting on preset information, and the like.
Optionally, when the user uses the home appliance, the user selects a required program through an operation panel on the home appliance, sets parameters and functions required by the user, and records the whole process of the user operation on the control panel. Such as: the household appliance is a washing machine, when a user washes clothes, the user slides a touch screen or rotates a knob to search a washing program after starting the washing machine, selects mixed washing, opens function options in the mixed washing, adjusts parameters in the mixed washing, and starts a night washing and easy ironing function, and the washing machine records the whole process operated by the user in selecting the washing program.
Optionally, when the user uses the home appliance, the user selects a required program through the client bound to the home appliance, sets parameters and functions required by the user, and records the whole process of the user operation. Such as: the household appliance is a washing machine, a user opens an Application program (APP) bound with the washing machine on a mobile phone, the washing program is searched on the APP, a function option of the washing program is opened, washing parameters and corresponding additional functions are adjusted, and the APP records the whole process operated by the user in selecting the washing program. Optionally, the client reports the recorded operation process to the server or the household appliance.
Optionally, according to the seasonal variation, when the user uses the household appliance, the pre-stored season is adjusted to the current season at the preset information of the household appliance.
Step 202, reporting the operation process to the server so that the server can generate the latest version software according to the operation process.
And reporting the acquired operation process to a server, and generating corresponding version software by the server according to the received operation process.
Optionally, the most frequently used program, the most frequently set parameter and the most frequently selected function in the version of software are placed at the most convenient position for operation. Such as: the washing machine has the highest frequency of mixed washing, and when the user selects mixed washing, the user most often sets the night washing and easy ironing functions, the server sets the mixed washing program at the forefront and sets the night washing and easy ironing at the position near the adjustable function in the version software generated according to the operation habits of the user.
Optionally, the program, the parameter, and the function corresponding to the preset information in the version software are placed at the most convenient position for operation. Such as: the preset information on the washing machine is adjusted from spring to summer, and when the server generates the latest version software, the programs and functions which correspond to the quick washing program, the dehydration parameters and the like and are applicable in summer are arranged at the front position, so that the user can conveniently select the programs and functions.
Optionally, the server periodically generates the latest version of software according to the received operation process.
Step 203, obtaining the version information of the latest version software in the server.
The server stores version information of each version of software, and the household appliance can acquire the version information of the software of the latest version currently stored from the server. Here, the version information may include version numbers, software functions, update contents, programs, and the like.
As a possible implementation manner, the home appliance may query the version information of the latest version software from the server side in real time or periodically. For example, the home appliance may send an inquiry request in real time or periodically to inquire the version information of the latest version of software, and accordingly, the server side may return the version information of the latest version of software to the home appliance after receiving the inquiry request.
As another possible implementation manner, an online upgrade control is arranged on the household appliance, a user manually operates to trigger the online upgrade control, the household appliance receives a trigger signal acting on the online upgrade control, generates a software upgrade request according to the trigger signal, and sends the software upgrade request to the server to query version information of the latest version of software.

After the version information is displayed, a control for upgrading and a control for rejecting are also displayed, so that a user can determine whether software needs to be upgraded currently.
And step 206, receiving a trigger signal for the control for upgrading, and upgrading the software of the household appliance according to the version information.
When a user confirms that the software of the household appliance needs to be upgraded currently, the control used for upgrading is triggered, and when the household appliance receives a trigger signal acted on the control used for upgrading by the user, the software is upgraded according to the acquired version information, and the currently running software is updated to the latest version software.
And step 207, if not, displaying a prompt message that the current version software of the household appliance is the latest version software.
And when the obtained version number is determined to be not higher than the currently running version number, the version number of the currently running software version of the household appliance is indicated to be the latest version software, and the version number of the latest software version, the currently running version number and the prompt which does not need to be upgraded are displayed through the display device.
As an example, as shown in fig. 4, the version number of the latest software version is 1.2.3.5, the version number of the current operation of the household appliance is 1.2.3.5, and the latest software version is the same as the current operation version, and therefore, the latest software version is displayed without being upgraded, and a reminder that the current version is the latest version is not required to be upgraded is provided.
According to the embodiment of the invention, the latest version software is generated by the server according to the operation process of the user, the operation habit, the use preference and the like of the user are included, the individual requirements of the user can be better met, the convenience of the user is improved, and meanwhile, when the household appliance judges that the obtained version number is higher than the currently running version number, the software of the household appliance is directly upgraded according to the obtained version information of the latest version software; the home appliance can automatically acquire version information for remote upgrading, so that after-sales personnel do not need to wait for manual upgrading, the use experience of a user is improved, and the after-sales cost is saved.
As a possible implementation manner, the step of upgrading the software of the home appliance according to the version information may include the following steps, as shown in fig. 5:

In the embodiment of the application, when the upgrade is successful, the latest version software can be configured according to the user configuration data.
It should be understood that, since the latest version of software may not be compatible with the original user program, the user program is not loaded any more when the upgrade is successful.
Step 506, the upgrade fails, and the original version software is restored.
In the embodiment of the application, when the upgrade fails, the original version software and the user program can be recovered, and the original version software is configured according to the user configuration data so as to ensure the normal use of the system and wait for the upgrade again.
According to the software upgrading method for the household appliance, through successful upgrading, the latest version software is configured according to the user configuration data, upgrading is failed, the original version software and the user program are recovered, the original version software is configured according to the user configuration data, and normal use of the system can be guaranteed.
It should be noted that, if an electrical appliance fails, or the downloading is overtime, or the network is abnormal, or an abnormal alarm is given, or the household electrical appliance is turned off in the process of downloading the installation package of the latest version of software, the downloading of the installation package may be stopped, and the upgrade is finished.
It should be understood that, when the household appliance is in a failure or abnormal state, an alarm condition may occur, or when the household appliance is in an abnormal state, at this time, the household appliance often needs a self-check, and power may be cut off during the self-check process, which results in a download failure, and therefore, software downloading needs to be stopped. Moreover, if the downloading is overtime, for example, more than 1 hour, the downloading can be stopped and the upgrading is ended, at this time, the user can be prompted to download overtime and check the network; if the network is abnormal, for example, the network is disconnected, at this time, because the installation package cannot be downloaded, the downloading may also be stopped, the upgrade is ended, and the user is prompted that the network connection is interrupted. And when the household appliance detects a shutdown event, prompting a user to confirm whether to shut down the household appliance, if the user is confirmed to shut down the household appliance, stopping downloading, deleting the file, and then responding to shutdown.
As a possible implementation manner, after the upgrade is finished, the installation package may be deleted, so as to save the occupation of storage resources.
Furthermore, after the installation package of the latest version software is downloaded, version verification can be performed on the installation package, whether the verification is passed or not is judged, if the verification is passed, system upgrading is performed, at the moment, upgrading can be performed according to the installation package, if the verification is not passed, the installation package is deleted, the installation package of the latest version software is downloaded again, and then version verification can be performed on the newly downloaded installation package, so that system upgrading is performed when the verification is passed. It should be noted that, if the number of times of re-downloading the installation package of the latest version of software is greater than the set number of times, for example, 1 time, a failure of file verification may be prompted, and at this time, the upgrade may be ended.
