Fig. 2 is the flow chart of a kind of method of renewal firmware according to an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Fig. 2 more
The method of new firmware is used for terminal and the interaction of digital accessory, comprises the following steps：
In step 201, when terminal detects digital accessory and accesses, read the firmware version information of digital accessory.
Digital accessory refers to have firmware and digit chip and can be by USB (the Universal Serial of itself
Bus, USB (universal serial bus)) interface access terminal equipment.Wherein, firmware refers to realize the journey of the basic function of digital accessory
Sequence, can be installed on digit chip.Digit chip refers to the chip that digital accessory and terminal can be controlled to interact.USB connects
Mouth refers to the interface of equipment carrying out data transmission based on standard usb interface and terminal.The embodiment of the present disclosure is to digital accessory not
It is specifically limited.
For example, the USB interface of above-mentioned numeral accessory can be Type-C (c-type) interface, and further, digital accessory is permissible
It is the digital earphone with Type-C interface.For example, Fig. 3 A is that one kind according to an exemplary embodiment has Type-C
The structural representation of the digital earphone of interface.As shown in Figure 3A, Type-C interface can transmit digital accessory and end with access terminal
Data between end；In structure, digit chip is connected with Type-C interface and receiver by data wire, functionally, number
Word chip can carry out the process of digital-to-analogue conversion it is also possible to pass through data line transfer data, e.g., control signal or voice data；
Receiver is used for the voice data of played data line transmission.
In this step, when digital accessory passes through USB interface access terminal, the signal of telecommunication at USB interface can become
Change, when terminal detects this change, can confirm that digital accessory has accessed.And then, this reading process can include：Eventually
Hold and send read requests to digital accessory so that digital accessory is when receiving read requests, by digit chip to read requests
Responded, send to terminal and allow to read message, now, terminal can read the firmware version information of digital accessory.This
Open embodiment is not specifically limited to firmware version information, and for example, firmware version information can be the firmware version of manufacturer's specification
This label or the issuing time of firmware version.
Certainly, the interaction of above-mentioned terminal and digital accessory is all carried out by USB interface, following steps be related to this two
Interaction between person in the same manner, repeats no more.
Certainly, in practice, because the model of digital accessory may be mismatched with the model of terminal, digital accessory can also
Optionally the read requests of terminal are responded.The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit to this.For example, deposit in digital accessory
Store up the model of matching terminal, then above-mentioned read requests need the model of carried terminal so that digital accessory is receiving reading
During request, extract the model of terminal, thus judging whether the model of terminal is mated with itself.If it does, then digital accessory is sent out
Permission is sent to read message；Otherwise, digital accessory refusal terminal is read.
In step 202., according to firmware version information, terminal detects whether there is target firmware, and target firmware refers to version
This is different from the firmware of current version of firmware.
Terminal passes through the firmware version information of digital accessory it may be determined that the current version of firmware of this digital accessory.In order to
Know whether further to be necessary firmware is updated, that is, whether there is the firmware of other versions, terminal needs to detect whether
There is target firmware.The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit to the approach of detection, and for example, terminal locally being detected or can be led to
Cross networking and detected in given server, concrete example is as follows：
The first approach, according to firmware version information, whether there is target firmware version in terminal detection designated storage area
This information, if it is present determining there is target firmware, if it does not exist, then determine there is not target firmware.
In view of before terminal is dispatched from the factory, the manufacturer of terminal may store the firmware of digital accessory in the terminal.
In addition, terminal is in more new system, the system installation kit that its manufacturer provides is likely to addition of the firmware of digital accessory.Therefore,
Terminal can detect whether there is target firmware version information in local designated storage area.
Designated storage area refers to one piece of memory area of terminal local.The embodiment of the present disclosure is not done to this and is limited further
Fixed.For example it is intended that region refers to the program storage area on mobile phone EMS memory card.
In addition, in this designated storage area, the form of storage firmware version information is likely to difference, the embodiment of the present disclosure
This does not limit.For example, list storage form can be taken in designated storage area to store the related letter of at least one firmware
Breath is it is also possible to directly at least one firmware of designated storage area memory storage, be specifically described as follows：
The first form, in designated storage area store firmware list.Each data item in this firmware list is at least
Firmware version information including firmware and firmware storage address.
(1) firmware version information can serve to indicate that firmware type, and for example, this firmware is A, and this firmware version information is permissible
Stored in the form of A1.0 or A2.0.Based on this firmware version information, in actual contrast, can there is following step
Suddenly：Terminal extracts one or more of this firmware list firmware version information, by extract firmware version information x each
Numerical value is contrasted with the numerical value of current version of firmware information y, if at least one numerical value is different from the numerical value of y in x, obtains
The maximum firmware storage address corresponding to firmware version information of numerical value in x, and determine that what this firmware storage address stored consolidates
Part is target firmware；If the numerical value of x is identical with the numerical value of y, and it is determined that there is not target firmware, explanation need not update, keep
Current version of firmware.
(2) firmware version information can be only used for indicating firmware version.For example, this firmware is B, and this firmware version information can
To be stored in the form of 1.0 or 2.0.Based on this firmware version information, each data item in firmware list is also wrapped
Include the firmware identifiers of firmware, this firmware identifiers is used for the such firmware of unique mark.In actual contrast, can have following
Step：
Terminal reads the firmware identifiers c of firmware by USB interface, and then, inquiry in firmware list whether there is c, if
There is c, then extract the corresponding one or more firmware version information d of c place data item, by each numerical value of d and current firmware
The numerical value e of version information is contrasted, if at least one numerical value is different from the numerical value of e in d, obtains numerical value maximum in d
Firmware storage address corresponding to firmware version information, and determine that the firmware that this firmware storage address is stored is target firmware；
If the numerical value of d is identical with the numerical value of e, and it is determined that there is not target firmware, explanation need not update, holding current version of firmware is
Can.
It should be noted that with digital accessory, the citing in (2) has a case that a firmware illustrates.Certainly, such as
The digital accessory of fruit has multiple firmware C1 and C2 etc., then terminal can read the firmware identifiers c1 of multiple firmwares by USB interface
With c2 etc., and then, carry out query script and comparison process respectively, corresponding target is solid respectively to judge whether C1 and C2 etc.
Part.The process being contrasted due to each firmware and the process of above-mentioned contrast in the same manner, are no longer described separately.
Second form, in the one or more firmware of designated storage area memory storage.
With the firmware of designated storage area memory storage as J, illustrate as a example H and G.Terminal is read solid by USB interface
The firmware identifiers of part, and then, if inquiring this firmware identifiers in designated storage area, extract this firmware identifiers corresponds to more
The firmware version information of firmware；If not inquiring this firmware identifiers in designated storage area it is determined that there is not target admittedly
Part, explanation need not update, and keeps current version of firmware.
Assume that the firmware having this firmware identifiers in designated storage area is H, then terminal extracts the firmware version information h of H,
The numerical value of the numerical value of h and current version of firmware information i is contrasted.If the numerical value of h is different from the numerical value of i it is determined that H is
Target firmware；If the numerical value of h is identical with the numerical value of i, and explanation need not update it is determined that there is not target firmware, keep current
Firmware version.
It should be noted that with digital accessory, the citing of second form has a case that a firmware illustrates.When
So, if digital accessory has multiple firmware T1 and T2 etc., terminal can read the firmware mark of multiple firmwares by USB interface
Know t1 and t2 etc., and then, carry out query script and comparison process respectively, to judge whether the corresponding mesh respectively such as T1 and T2
Mark firmware.The process being contrasted due to each firmware and the process of above-mentioned contrast in the same manner, are no longer described separately.
It should be noted that during for there is not target firmware, terminal can show and need not update prompting, to inform
User's current version of firmware need not update.The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit to this.For example, terminal is in the form of pop-up window,
Prompting user need not update.
The first approach terminal above locally completes detection process, and the requirement to detection is relatively low, therefore realizes easily, and
Take full advantage of the existing resource of terminal.It is true that for detection range more comprehensively, can be carried out by following second approach
Detection.
Second approach, according to firmware version information, terminal detection given server whether there is target firmware version
Information, if it is present determining there is target firmware, if it does not exist, then determine there is not target firmware.
Firmware due to digital accessory may be issued in multiple network platforms, and terminal cannot ensure these network platforms
The firmware issued is provided with higher reliability and safety, therefore, dangerous in order to avoid the target firmware that obtains, the
In two kinds of approach, using the approach that there is target firmware is detected whether on given server.Wherein it is intended that server refers to this
Official's server of the manufacturer of digital accessory.
Certainly, in order to realize this approach, in this step 202, terminal can send to digital accessory and obtain request, then count
Word accessory, when receiving this acquisition request, responds to terminal, sends to terminal and allows to obtain message so that terminal reads
The device identification of this digital accessory.Based on this device identification, terminal access given server, thus detecting on given server
With the presence or absence of target firmware.The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit to device identification.For example, device identification refers to this digital accessory
Title or numbering.
Second approach is also to complete detection process by contrasting firmware version information, second with the first approach above-mentioned
In the same manner, here is omitted for the form of kind.
According to the citing of firmware version information in above-mentioned steps 201, in this step 202, the firmware version being contrasted is believed
Breath is probably the issuing time of firmware version label or firmware version.
Under normal conditions, target firmware refers to that version is higher than the firmware of current version of firmware, therefore, in a kind of possible reality
In existing mode, for when firmware version information is firmware version label, during above-mentioned contrast firmware version information, reality contrasts
Be which firmware version label is larger；When the issuing time that firmware version information is firmware version, above-mentioned right
Than firmware version information when, actual contrast is which firmware version issuing time is later.
In step 203, if there is target firmware, then terminal display firmware updates information, and firmware updates prompting
Information is used for the firmware pointing out user to update digital accessory, when the confirmation operation that firmware is updated with information is detected, then obtains
Take target firmware.
Based on above-mentioned steps 202, in this step, if there is target firmware, then terminal is to show renewal information
Mode remind user to be updated.The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit to the content and display mode that update information.Example
As in order that the details of the more clear numeral accessory of user, in this step 203, terminal can send to digital accessory and read
Ask, then digital accessory, when receiving this read requests, responds to terminal, send to terminal and allow reading message, make
Obtain terminal and read title, firmware version and model of this digital accessory etc., and renewal prompt window is generated based on these contents.Example
If Fig. 3 B is a kind of schematic diagram of the renewal information according to an exemplary embodiment.As shown in Figure 3 B, terminal is with bullet
The form display going out to update prompt window updates information, and content includes the name of the digital accessory that above-mentioned interaction reads
Title, firmware version, model, prompt text, confirmation option and cancellation option.If user's triggering is detected to confirm option, obtain
Take target firmware, if user's triggering is detected to cancel option, not obtaining target firmware, also no longer following the steps below 204.
In addition, the first approach providing for above-mentioned steps 202, terminal is directly from local acquisition target firmware.Specifically
Ground, when firmware registration table is stored for this first approach citing, due in firmware registration table target firmware local
Storage address storage corresponding with its firmware version information, therefore terminal, after determining target firmware version information, is closed according to corresponding
System, obtains the locally stored address of target firmware, thus by accessing this locally stored address, obtaining target firmware.For this
The situation storing firmware in designated storage area of the first approach citing, after terminal determines target firmware version information, directly
Obtaining this corresponding firmware of target firmware version information is target firmware.
The second approach providing for above-mentioned steps 202, terminal detects target firmware version on given server
After information, download the corresponding target firmware of target firmware version information from given server.
It should be noted that this step 203 is the optional step of the embodiment of the present disclosure.Voluntarily choose whether to obtain by user
Target firmware, makes implementation method more hommization.It is true that the embodiment of the present disclosure can also otherwise substitute this step.
It is exemplified below：
First kind of way, if there is target firmware, then terminal inquiry accessory configuration information, if accessory configuration information refers to
Show and firmware is automatically updated, then obtain target firmware.
In order that renewal process continuity is high, which is operated based on accessory configuration information, need not bother user,
The process obtaining is carried out on backstage.For example, in the system setting of terminal, if the switch that automatically updates of accessory configuration information is to open
Open state, then obtain target firmware, otherwise, do not obtain target firmware, also no longer follow the steps below 204.
The second way, if there is target firmware, then terminal obtains target firmware automatically.
In this approach, in order that updating in hgher efficiency, in the case that terminal has target firmware in determination, automatically obtain
Target firmware.
In step 204, terminal sends target firmware to digital accessory.
In this step, terminal passes through USB interface, sends the target firmware for updating to digital accessory.
In step 205, digital fitment receiver target firmware, carries out firmware renewal.
In this step, digital accessory passes through USB interface, the target firmware that receiving terminal sends, and passes through digit chip
Control function, delete the firmware of legacy version, thus installation targets firmware on digit chip, complete to update.
In correlation technique, the digital accessory with Type-C interface, in access terminal, will not point out this digital accessory
Firmware version, more will not automatically update its firmware, lead to the digital accessory with legacy version firmware can not obtain timely updates, make
The performance obtaining digital accessory is relatively low, and using effect is poor.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when digital accessory accesses, terminal can actively read the current firmware version of digital accessory
Originally, the firmware version and then being arrived by comparison and detection and current version of firmware, are able to confirm that the firmware with the presence or absence of redaction, if
Exist, then can obtain the firmware of redaction, to be updated to digital accessory, thus providing the side automatically updating firmware
Method, improves performance and the using effect of digital accessory.
