Currently, there are three general ways to install and deploy software on multiple computer devices:
in the first mode, by manual operation, software to be installed is copied to each computer device, and the software is installed on each device one by one;
in the second mode, based on the domain control function of the Windows operating system, software is uniformly installed for all computer equipment in the same domain by virtue of Windows Insteller software;
in the third mode, third-party auxiliary software is installed in advance on each computer needing to be installed, and the software is uniformly installed for the computer equipment installed with the third-party auxiliary software by means of a management interface provided by the third-party auxiliary software.
However, the above software deployment method in the prior art has the following technical problems:
in the first mode, software is independently installed for each computer device by manpower, time and labor are consumed, and the implementation cost is high; in the second mode, all computers are required to be used for domain control function of the Windows operating system, and all computer devices are required to be in the same domain, which is seriously dependent on the implementation environment and has high implementation difficulty; in the third method, third-party auxiliary software needs to be installed on each computer device in advance, and the implementation is also heavily dependent on the implementation environment and is difficult.
Therefore, the existing software deployment mode has the technical problems of high implementation cost and great difficulty.

In addition, the character "/" in this document generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects are in an "or" relationship unless otherwise specified.
Example one
The embodiment of the invention provides a software deployment method based on a shared printer, which can be applied to first equipment, and the first equipment can deploy software for at least one second equipment by executing the software deployment method based on the shared printer. The first device and the at least one second device may be electronic devices, for example, electronic devices such as a server, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a personal computer, a notebook computer, and a wearable electronic device, and specific kinds of the first device and the at least one second device are not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. The first device and the at least one second device may be the same or different, for example, the first device is a server, one second device is a computer, another second device is a tablet computer, another device is a wearable electronic device, and the like.
In this embodiment of the present invention, the first device and the at least one second device may communicate with each other, for example, the first device and the at least one second device may be connected to a same local area network, and the first device and the at least one second device may communicate with each other through the local area network.
In order to better understand the monitoring method of the communication device in the embodiment of the present invention, the above technical solutions will be described in detail with reference to the drawings and the specific embodiments of the present disclosure.
Referring to fig. 1, a flow of a shared printer-based software deployment method in an embodiment of the present invention is described as follows.
Step 101: the first device locally installs a printer driver to generate a first shared printer instance.
In the embodiment of the invention, after the first device installs a printer driver locally, the first shared printer instance can be generated. The printer driver installed on the first device can be a specially-developed printer driver for deploying software, the printer driver comprises software data to be deployed, and the software data to be deployed is associated with a printer software interface included in the printer driver, so that when the printer software interface is called, the software data to be deployed can be called.
In a particular implementation, the printer driver may be a completely separately developed printer driver; or the printer driver can be generated by replacing or modifying part of the modules on the basis of a third-party printer driver provided by each printer manufacturer; the shell adding module comprises the original module and the added new module, so that the shell adding module can execute the original function and also can execute the new function when being called.
For example, a shell module and software data to be deployed may be added on the basis of an original module by adding a shell, and when the shell module is called, the shell module may be called, and then the shell module may start the software data to be deployed and the original module synchronously or asynchronously.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the flow of installing the printer driver by the first device is the same as the flow of installing the general printer driver. The printer software interface included in the printer driver in the embodiment of the present invention is a software interface that is commonly available in a general printer driver, and the printer software interface is a software interface that is called when the printer driver is installed in the electronic device. That is to say, when the software deployment method in the embodiment of the present invention is applied, the software to be deployed may be deployed without performing special configuration on the second device to install the flow of the common printer driver.
In an embodiment of the present invention, after the first device completes the local installation of the printer driver, a first shared printer instance may be generated in the first device. The first shared printer instance is an accessible printer software object. For example, in an operating system, a printer icon may represent an instance of a printer.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the process of installing the printer driver to generate the first shared printer instance may be a shared printer instance directly generated after the printer driver is installed, or may be a process of setting the generated printer instance as the shared printer instance by changing the setting of the generated printer instance after the printer driver is installed.
In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, the process of installing the printer driver to generate the first shared printer instance may be that a driver module is added with a shell and software data to be deployed is added to the printer driver already installed on the first device, if the printer driver does not install a printer instance, the printer instance is installed by using the driver, and if the printer driver has installed a printer instance but is not set as a shared printer, the printer instance is set as the shared printer. That is, the installation of the first shared printer instance is achieved by modifying the installed printer driver.
Step 102: when the first device determines that the at least one second device accesses the first shared printer instance, triggering the at least one second device to perform the following operations: obtaining and installing a printer driver from a first device, calling a printer software interface included in the printer driver in the process of installing the printer driver, and executing software data to be deployed so as to install software to be deployed; wherein the software data to be deployed is located within the printer driver and is associated with the printer software interface.
In the embodiment of the present invention, after the first shared printer instance is generated in step 101, at least one second device may access the first shared printer instance on the first device through a connection with the first device. For example, when the first device and the at least one second device are connected through the lan, the at least one second device may access the first shared printer instance on the first device through the lan, and the specific access manner is the same as the manner of accessing the common shared printer, such as access by Internet Protocol (IP) address, workgroup, and the like.
The at least one second device may be one or more, and any device that can be connected to the first device may install the deployment software through the first device. And, during the software deployment, each of the at least one second device will perform the same operation.
In an embodiment of the present invention, when at least one second device accesses the first shared printer instance, the at least one second device is triggered to obtain and install the printer driver from the first device. In the process of installing the printer driver by at least one second device, the at least one second device calls a printer software interface included in the printer driver, calls software data to be deployed in the printer driver, which is associated with the printer software interface, by calling the printer software interface, and executes the software data to be deployed, and in the process of executing the software data to be deployed, completes installation of the software to be deployed. The software data to be deployed is data related to installation of the software to be deployed.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the process of installing the printer driver by the at least one second device is the same as the flow of installing the normal printer driver, for example, after the at least one second device obtains the printer driver, the at least one second device runs the printer driver through the printing service in the operating system of the at least one second device. For example, when the operating system run by the second device is a Windows operating system, the printer driver obtained from the first device is run in the second device through a print pool (printspooller) service on the Windows operating system.
In a possible implementation manner, in the process of calling a printer software interface included in the printer driver in the at least one second device and executing the software data to be deployed to install the software to be deployed, the at least one second device may call the printer software interface, obtain an installation package of the software to be deployed based on the software data to be deployed, run the installation package of the software to be deployed, and install the software to be deployed.
In the embodiment of the invention, the software data to be deployed can include an installation package of the software to be deployed, when the second device calls the printer software interface, the software data to be deployed can be called, and the installation package of the software to be deployed is obtained based on the software data to be deployed.
In a specific implementation process, when the software to be deployed is an installation package of the software to be deployed, the second device may directly execute the software data to be deployed and install the software to be deployed; when the software data to be deployed includes other data in addition to the software to be deployed, the process of obtaining the installation package of the software to be deployed based on the software data to be deployed may be a process of analyzing the software data to be deployed to obtain the installation package of the software to be deployed.
Moreover, the installation package in the embodiment of the present invention may also be portable software (green software).
In a possible implementation manner, in the process of executing the software data to be deployed to install the software to be deployed by calling a printer software interface included in the printer driver in the at least one second device, the at least one second device may call the printer software interface, obtain an installation package of the software to be deployed based on the software data to be deployed, and install instruction information used for instructing an installation manner, run the installation package of the software to be deployed, and install the software to be deployed in the installation manner indicated by the installation instruction information.
In the embodiment of the invention, the software data to be deployed can include the installation package and the installation indication information of the software to be deployed, when the second device calls the printer software interface, the software data to be deployed can be called, and the installation package and the installation indication information of the software to be deployed are obtained from the software data to be deployed in a mode of respectively calling the installation package and the installation indication information of the software to be deployed or in a mode of analyzing the software data to be deployed.
In the embodiment of the invention, the software data to be deployed can comprise an installation package and installation indication information of the software to be deployed. And in the process of running the installation package of the software to be deployed, the second equipment installs the software to be deployed in the installation mode indicated by the installation indication information.
In a specific implementation process, the installation manner indicated by the installation indication information may include an indication to install the to-be-deployed software into a specified folder in the second device, an optional installation item indicating when the to-be-deployed software is selected for installation, and an indication to configure the to-be-deployed software, such as configuring a user name, an IP address, a port number, a user authority, and the like.
For example, a variety of installation options are usually provided during the process of installing software, such as selecting a path for installing software, selecting which modules to install, setting a user name, and the like, and a user needs to perform an input operation on the electronic device for each installation option to complete installation. In the embodiment of the invention, the installation indication information can indicate the electronic equipment to automatically fill or select the installation options required by the user in the installation process, so that the installation of the software is completed, and the user does not need to perform input operation aiming at the installation options.
In a specific implementation, the installation instruction information may be presented in the form of a configuration file, a program installation engine, an installation bootstrap program, and the like.
In a possible implementation manner, the at least one second device calls a printer software interface included in the printer driver, and in the process of executing software data to be deployed to install the software to be deployed, the at least one second device may call the printer software interface, obtain a seed program for installing the software to be deployed based on the software data to be deployed, run the seed program, obtain and run an installation package of the software to be deployed in the process of running the seed program, and install the software to be deployed.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the software data to be deployed may include a seed program for installing the software to be deployed, and when the second device calls the printer software interface, the software data to be deployed may be called, and the seed program may be obtained based on the software data to be deployed.
In a specific implementation process, when the software to be deployed is the seed program, the second device can directly run the data of the software to be deployed to install the software to be deployed; when the software data to be deployed includes other data besides the seed program, the process of obtaining the seed program based on the software data to be deployed may be parsing the software data to be deployed to obtain the seed program.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the seed program may be a program for guiding installation of software to be deployed, for example, when the data size of the software to be deployed is too large and/or the installation process of the software to be deployed is too complex, the software to be deployed may be installed through the seed program.
In a specific implementation process, by running the seed program, the second device may obtain the installation package of the software to be deployed in an obtaining manner preset in the seed program, for example, by downloading the installation package of the software to be deployed from other devices outside the second device through a preset link address; furthermore, the second device may install the installation package of the software to be deployed in an installation manner preset in the seed program.
In a possible implementation manner, after executing the software data to be deployed to install the software to be deployed, the second device may further run the installed software to be deployed, and obtain the setting information of the first device based on the second shared printer instance to configure the installed software to be deployed with the setting information. Wherein the second shared printer instance is a shared printer instance generated by at least one second device locally installing the printer driver.
In the embodiment of the present invention, after executing the data of the software to be deployed to install the software to be deployed, the second device may run the installed software to be deployed to perform configuration according to the installation guidance instruction in the printer driver; or, the installation guide instruction may be preset in the software to be deployed, and after the installation of the software to be deployed is completed, the software to be deployed may automatically run and be configured.
In a specific implementation process, the second shared printer instance may include setting information of the first device, such as setting information of an IP address, a port number, and the like of the first device, and the second device may obtain the setting information based on the second shared printer instance and configure the software to be deployed with the setting information.
In the embodiment of the invention, a first device locally installs a printer driver to generate a first shared printer instance, when the first device determines that at least one second device accesses the first shared printer instance, the first device automatically triggers the at least one second device to obtain and install the printer driver from the first device, and in the process of installing the printer driver, a printer software interface included in the printer driver is called to execute software data to be deployed so as to realize installation and deployment of software to be deployed.
Furthermore, in the embodiment of the invention, the software to be deployed does not need to be copied to each device one by one manually, and the software installation package installation software does not need to be operated one by one manually, so that the time consumption and labor cost in large-scale software deployment are saved, and the implementation cost of software deployment is reduced.
Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the shared printer is a general function of the operating system, is turned on by default, and does not need to make a special setting, and compared with a software deployment method that strictly depends on an operating system environment and third-party auxiliary software in the prior art, the software deployment method in the embodiment of the present invention is low in implementation difficulty.
