Please refer to fig. 4, which is a flowchart illustrating an upgrading method applied to the upgrading system 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that the method provided by the present invention is not limited by the specific sequence shown in fig. 4 and described below. The respective steps shown in fig. 4 will be described in detail below.
Step S101, the host device 100 compares a pre-stored version of the upgrade software with an obtained version of software currently installed in the screen-side device 200, and if the version of the upgrade software is newer than the version of software currently installed in the screen-side device 200, sends the upgrade software to the screen-side device 200.
Step S103, after receiving the upgrade software, the screen-side device 200 performs backup storage on the upgrade software.
In this embodiment, the host device 100 is pre-stored with upgrade software of the screen-side device 200, where the upgrade software is acquired by the host device 100 from a background server communicatively connected thereto. The host device 100 may initiate an upgrade software acquisition request to the backend server at a preset time interval, for example, 2 days or a week. After receiving the update software acquisition request, the background server detects whether updated software is updated within the preset time, if yes, the background server sends the update software to the host device 100, and the host device 100 receives the update software and stores the update software. And if the updated upgrade software does not exist within the preset time length, no response is made.
It should be understood that the host device 100 may obtain the upgrade software in a form that the background server actively sends the upgrade software to the host device 100, for example, the background server monitors whether there is the updated upgrade software in real time, and actively pushes the upgrade software to the host device 100 once it is monitored that there is the updated upgrade software. In this embodiment, there is no specific limitation on whether the host device 100 actively acquires the upgrade software from the backend server or the backend server automatically pushes the upgrade software to the host device 100, and the configuration may be set according to actual requirements.
Optionally, in this embodiment, the host device 100 may obtain the upgrade software from the backend server through a wired connection, or may obtain the upgrade software from the backend server through a wireless communication manner, for example, an OTA upgrade manner, which is not limited in this embodiment.
In this embodiment, the host device 100 communicates with the screen-side device 200, and after the host device 100 acquires the upgraded software and a new system of the host device 100 is restarted, the version information of the software currently installed on the screen-side device 200 in communication connection with the host device 100 is detected. In this embodiment, the screen-side device 200 includes at least two memory modules, for example, a memory module a and a memory module B. Assuming that the current software of the screen-side device 200 is installed in the storage module a, the host device 100 compares the detected software version of the software in the storage module a with the obtained software version of the upgrade software, and if the software version of the upgrade software is newer than the software version of the software in the storage module a of the screen-side device 200, the host device 100 sends the upgrade software to the screen-side device 200, so that the screen-side device 200 performs subsequent software upgrade. It should be understood that if the host device 100 detects that the software version of the pre-stored upgrade software is not newer than the software version of the software currently installed in the screen-side device 200, it determines that the screen-side upgrade is not currently needed, and directly exits the screen-side software upgrade process.
Optionally, in this embodiment, the host device 100 sends the upgrade software to the screen-side device 200 through an I2C or a UART protocol.
After receiving the upgrade software, the screen-side device 200 saves the upgrade software backup to a storage module currently in an idle state, for example, storage module B. In this embodiment, after receiving the upgrade software, the screen-side device 200 does not directly replace the software currently installed in the storage module a with the received upgrade software, but stores the upgrade software in another storage module in an idle state, so as to avoid that if a problem occurs in the subsequent upgrade software, the normal use of the user is affected. With the arrangement, if the software is upgraded, the software originally stored in the storage module A can be called again to temporarily maintain the normal use of the user, so that the consequence that the user experience is extremely reduced because the user cannot use the software due to software problems is avoided.
Step S105, after the screen-side device 200 saves the upgrade software in a backup manner, the upgrade software saved in the backup manner is read, and a system is started to run the upgrade software.
In this embodiment, the screen-side device 200 stores the upgrade software, and after the screen-side device 200 is restarted, reads the backup stored upgrade software, and starts the system to run the upgrade software. That is, after the original screen-side device 200 is powered on and started, the data in the storage module a is read to start the system to operate. After receiving the new upgrade software and storing it in the storage module B, the screen-side device 200 is powered on and started, and then reads the data in the storage module B to start a new system program. And setting the state of the storage module A to be an idle state, and if new upgrade software is subsequently received, storing the new upgrade software into the storage module A which is converted to be the idle state so as to cover the original data in the storage module A.
Optionally, referring to fig. 5, in this embodiment, the upgrade method further includes the following steps:
in step S201, after obtaining and pre-storing the upgrade software, the host device 100 sends an upgrade waiting interface to the screen device 200.
Step S203, the screen-side device 200 receives and displays the upgrade waiting interface.
Step S205, in the display process of the upgrade waiting interface, the host device 100 closes the operation right to the screen-side device 200, so that the user cannot operate the screen-side device 200, wherein the step of sending the upgrade software to the screen-side device 200 is performed in the display process of the upgrade waiting interface.
In this embodiment, after the host device 100 obtains the upgrade software of the screen-side device 200 from the backend server through OTA upgrade, after a new system of the host device 100 is started for the first time, the host device 100 sends an upgrade waiting interface to the screen-side device 200. The screen-side device 200 receives and displays the upgrade waiting interface, for example, a scroll bar interface of "system ready" is turned on. It should be understood that the upgrade wait interface may be in other interface forms, which is not limited in this embodiment.
In this embodiment, the step of comparing the version of the pre-stored upgrade software with the obtained version of the software currently installed in the screen-side device 200 by the host device 100, and the step of sending the upgrade software to the screen-side device 200 by the host device 100 are all executed in the display process of the upgrade waiting interface. Since there is a display process of the upgrade waiting interface after the host device 100 performs OTA upgrade and is started for the first time, assuming that the host device 100 detects that the pre-stored upgrade software is new to the software currently installed in the screen-side device 200, the transmission process of the upgrade software may be put into the display process. If the host device 100 detects that the pre-stored upgrade software is not newer than the currently installed software of the screen-side device 200, it is determined that the screen-side upgrade is not needed, and a process of displaying an upgrade waiting interface is still performed.
Therefore, the process of sending the upgrade software to the screen-side device 200 by the host device 100 is put into the display process of the upgrade waiting interface, and the transmission process of the upgrade software can be effectively shielded. The user does not need to distinguish whether the host device 100 is upgraded or the screen-side device 200 is upgraded, so that the user cannot perceive whether the screen-side device 200 is upgraded currently, the upgrading is not sensible, and the user experience is improved.
In this embodiment, in order to avoid an influence on the upgrade process due to a user operation in the display process of the upgrade waiting interface, the host device 100 closes the operation authority of the screen-side device 200, so that the user cannot operate the screen-side device 200.
This is because the host device 100 transmits the upgrade software to the screen-side device 200 during the display of the upgrade wait interface, and once the user performs the screen-side operation during this process, there will be a problem of data transmission bandwidth and transmission collision due to simultaneous progress of two processes, i.e., transmission of the upgrade software from the host device 100 to the screen-side device 200 and transmission of video data/control data and the like from the host device 100 to the screen-side device 200 due to the user operation. Therefore, during the display process of the upgrade wait interface, the host device 100 closes the operation right to the screen-side device 200 to limit the operation of the screen-side device 200 by the user, so as to avoid the influence of the user operation on the upgrade software transmission.
Optionally, referring to fig. 6, in this embodiment, the upgrade method further includes the following steps:
step S301, after sending the upgrade software to the screen-side device 200, the host device 100 sends a display instruction to the screen-side device 200.
Step S303, the screen-side device 200 displays an operation interface according to the display instruction.
Step S305, in the display process of the operation interface, the host device 100 opens the operation right to the screen-side device 200, so that the user can perform normal operation on the screen-side device 200.
In this embodiment, after the transmission process of the upgrade software from the host device 100 to the screen-side device 200 is completed, the host device 100 sends a shutdown instruction to the screen-side device 200, so that the screen-side device 200 shuts down the upgrade waiting interface as "system ready". Furthermore, the host device 100 sends a display instruction to the screen-side device 200, and the screen-side device 200 displays an operation interface according to the display instruction. At this time, the host device 100 opens the operation right to the screen-side device 200, and after entering the display operation interface, the user can perform normal operation on the screen side.
The upgrading method provided by the embodiment does not need to manually reuse a computer to upgrade software for the screen-side device 200, and only needs to establish communication between the host device 100 and the screen-side device 200, so that the host device 100 can be used to automatically complete the upgrading action of the screen-side device 200, and a user cannot sense the upgrading process in the using process, so that the user experiences the operation of upgrading without sensing.
