Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," and the like in the description and in the claims, as well as in the drawings, if any, are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used is interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the invention described herein are capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed, but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with specific examples. The following several specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and details of the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments.

The OTA upgrade processing method related by the embodiment relates to three parties of a server, network equipment and a terminal, and further enables an OTA upgrade package to be sent to the terminal through interaction of the three parties, so that upgrade is achieved at the terminal.

The server may be a server dedicated to system and software upgrade, or may be a server providing both system and software upgrade services. Which may comprise any device or collection of devices having data storage and processing capabilities.

The network device may be a device capable of interacting with the server and the terminal, and may be an RSU device, or a base station, where the base station may be a 4G base station, a 5G base station, or any other base station, and the RSU device may specifically be a Road Side Unit, which may be understood as a Road Side Unit, a Road Side device, or the like.

The terminal may be any device having data processing and data storage capabilities, and specifically may be a vehicle terminal, or may be a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or a computer.

In a specific implementation process, the processing method and the processing device according to the embodiment can be applied to a scene of 5G communication.

The processing method for the OTA upgrade is explained from the perspective of the server side, the network device side and the terminal side, respectively.

Fig. 1 is a first flowchart illustrating a processing method for OTA upgrade on a server side according to an embodiment of the present invention; fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a processing method of OTA upgrade on the server side in an embodiment of the present invention; fig. 3 is a third flowchart illustrating a processing method of OTA upgrade on the server side in an embodiment of the present invention; fig. 4 is a fourth flowchart illustrating a processing method for OTA upgrade on the server side in an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 1, a processing method for OTA upgrade at a server side, applied to a server, includes:

s101: acquiring position information of a plurality of terminals;

s102: if it is determined that at least part of the terminals are gathered in any gathering area according to the position information of the terminals, then: determining target network equipment corresponding to the aggregation area; the coverage of the target network device matches the aggregation area;

s103: and sending the OTA upgrade package of the terminal to the target network equipment.

In step S103, the transmitted OTA upgrade package may be such that: the target network device can store the OTA upgrade package first, and then send the stored OTA upgrade package to the terminal to be upgraded when the terminal to be upgraded in the coverage generates the upgrade requirement aiming at the OTA upgrade package.

The plurality of terminals may be any plurality of terminals, and in one example, the plurality of terminals may refer to all terminals that do not distinguish brands and suppliers, and in another example, the plurality of terminals may be terminals of the same brand, terminals that use the same communication service provider, or terminals that use the same program.

When the terminal is an in-vehicle terminal, an area where many vehicles are often gathered, such as a parking lot, a car factory, a 4S store, a road, and the like, can be recognized by recognizing the gathering of the terminals.

In the specific implementation process, whether the aggregation occurs or not and the aggregation area can be judged by identifying the number of the terminals in the unit region range in the area.

The matching between the coverage area of the target network device and the aggregation area may refer to that the coverage area covers the aggregation area, that the aggregation area covers the coverage area, or that the coverage area and the aggregation area have a certain intersection area.

Through the means, the server can send the OTA upgrade package to the network equipment for pre-storage according to the terminal aggregation condition, and then when the terminal needs to be upgraded, the network equipment can directly send the OTA upgrade package to the terminal without requesting the server again, so that the server can send the OTA upgrade package once without aiming at each requirement of the terminal, and the load of the server is effectively reduced.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 2, after step S103, the method may further include:

s104: receiving a first upgrading request sent by a terminal to be upgraded, wherein the first upgrading request carries position information and identification information of the terminal to be upgraded;

s105: determining the coverage range of the terminal to be upgraded in the target network equipment according to the position information of the terminal to be upgraded;

s106: verifying and determining that the terminal to be upgraded is a terminal suitable for upgrading by using the OTA upgrade package;

s107: sending a first transmission indication to the target network device.

The first upgrade request can be understood as information which is sent by the terminal to the server and represents the upgrade requirement of the terminal, and because the information carries the position information and the identification information, the server can conveniently determine which network device is instructed to send the OTA upgrade package to which terminal.

The identification information may be, for example, an ID of the terminal or other information of the binding terminal, and in the specific implementation process, if the terminal is a vehicle terminal, the identification information may also be information such as a license plate and a unique vehicle identification code.

In step S106, the verification process may compare the received identification information with a pre-stored list of identification information that may be suitable for using the OTA upgrade package, for example, and confirm that the verification is successful if it is determined that the identification information is already in the list.

The process of verification may also be, for example: the first upgrade request may also carry information such as a version number, and the verification process may compare the received information such as the version number with a pre-stored version number list that may be suitable for using the OTA upgrade package, and if it is determined that the received information is already in the list, it is determined that the verification is passed.

Meanwhile, the embodiment does not exclude the implementation mode of adding other authentication means during verification.

The first transmission indication in step S17 may carry identification information of the terminal to be upgraded, so that the target network device may send the OTA upgrade package to the terminal to be upgraded according to the identification information of the terminal to be upgraded, where the terminal connected to the target network device may report its identification information, and then, according to the identification information of the terminal to be upgraded, the target network device may find the terminal and send the OTA upgrade package.

In the above means, the request may be received and verified by the server when the OTA upgrade package is required to be sent by the network device, or the request may be received and verified by the network device without passing through the server in other means.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 3, after step S104, the following steps may be implemented to instruct the upgraded terminal to send the OTA upgrade package to the terminal to be upgraded:

s108: determining the terminal to be upgraded is in the communication range of the upgraded terminal according to the position information of the terminal to be upgraded; the communication range may specifically be a communication range of a V2X communication method (for example, a method of communicating through a PC5 port of 5G V2X), or may also be a communication range of bluetooth, NFC, or the like;

after the verification of step S106 is passed, step S109 may be implemented: and sending a second transmission instruction to the upgraded terminal.

The second transmission indication carries identification information of the terminal to be upgraded, so that the upgraded terminal can send the OTA upgrade package to the terminal to be upgraded according to the identification information of the terminal to be upgraded.

In the above embodiment, when any one of the terminals completes upgrading, the terminal upgrades other terminals, so that the traffic of other terminals is saved, and the realization of upgrading can be ensured under the condition of poor remote communication quality.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 4, the processing method may further include:

s110: receiving fault event information of target faults collected by any one first network equipment;

s111: and sending a fault collection instruction to at least one second network device except the first network device.

The first network device may be any network device that has reported fault event information of the target fault, and may be a target network device or not.

The fault event information collected by the first network equipment is reported to the first network equipment by a terminal in the coverage area of the first network equipment; the fault event information characterizes that the corresponding terminal has the target fault, and for example, the fault event information may have at least one of information describing what the fault is, the occurrence time, the location, the generation reason, and the like.

The failure collection indication may be understood to be information for instructing the at least one second network device to collect and send the target failure collected by the at least one second network device to the server, wherein at least part of the failure event information may be carried.

Through the above embodiment, when the fault event information of any one of the network devices is received, other network devices can be triggered in time to collect the fault event information of the same target fault, so that the collection of the fault event information can be realized more comprehensively, and the analysis and repair of the fault can be facilitated.

In summary, in the processing method for the OTA upgrade at the server side provided in this embodiment, the server may first send the OTA upgrade package to the network device for pre-storage according to the terminal aggregation condition, and then, when the terminal needs to perform the OTA upgrade, the network device may directly send the OTA upgrade package to the terminal without requesting the server again.

In summary, in the processing apparatus for OTA upgrade on the server side provided in this embodiment, the server may first send the OTA upgrade package to the network device for pre-storage according to the terminal aggregation condition, and then, when the terminal needs to perform OTA upgrade, the network device may directly send the OTA upgrade package to the terminal without requesting the server again.

Fig. 9 is a first flowchart illustrating a processing method for OTA upgrade on the network side according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating step S303 according to an embodiment of the present invention; fig. 11 is a flowchart illustrating a processing method for OTA upgrade on the network side in an embodiment of the present invention; fig. 12 is a third flowchart illustrating a processing method for OTA upgrade on the network side according to an embodiment of the present invention; fig. 13 is a fourth flowchart illustrating a processing method for OTA upgrade on the network side in an embodiment of the present invention; fig. 14 is a flowchart illustrating a fifth processing method for OTA upgrade on the network side in an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 9, the processing method for OTA upgrade on the network side is applied to any one target network device, and includes:

s301: receiving an OTA upgrade package sent by a server, and storing the OTA upgrade package;

s302: whether a terminal to be upgraded in a coverage area generates an upgrading requirement aiming at the OTA upgrading packet or not;

if the determination result in step S302 is yes, step S303 may be implemented: and sending the stored OTA upgrading packet to the terminal to be upgraded.

The OTA upgrade package received and stored in step S301 is sent when the server determines that the aggregation area aggregated by at least a part of the terminals matches the coverage area of the target network device.

With regard to the contents of the above procedure, reference may be made to the related description of the processing method of the OTA upgrade on the server side.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 10, the step S303 may include:

s3031: whether the data volume of the OTA upgrade package is smaller than a preset data volume threshold value or not;

if the determination result of step S3031 is yes, step S3033 may be implemented: sending the OTA upgrade package to the terminal to be upgraded;

if the judgment result of the step S3031 is no, then: when the data size of the OTA upgrade package is greater than the data size threshold, step S3032 may be implemented: whether the vehicle speed of the terminal to be upgraded is smaller than a preset speed threshold value or not;

if the determination result of step S3032 is yes, step S3033 may be performed;

if the determination result of step S3032 is no, step S3034 may be implemented: and forbidding to send the OTA upgrade package to the corresponding terminal.

It can be seen that in some scenarios, for example, when the terminal is a vehicle terminal, or the vehicle is in another moving carrier, the moving speed of the terminal may be higher, so that it is inconvenient to transmit a larger upgrade package by using a single network device (for example, the terminal has not been transmitted, i.e. has left the coverage area of the target network device), and the moving speed may also be lower, so that it is convenient to transmit an upgrade package of any size. The above embodiment configures corresponding processing based on the speed and the data size, and ensures smooth transmission of the upgrade package.

The above judgment of step S302 may be, for example, when a first transmission instruction is received as shown below, which indicates that the server has been verified, and at this time, the judgment result of step S302 may be considered as yes; the determination of step S302 may also be, for example, as shown below, to receive an upgrade request via the target network device and complete the verification, in which case the determination of step S302 may be considered as yes.

The second upgrade request in step S305 may be understood with reference to the foregoing first upgrade request, and may carry at least one of location information, identification information, and the like of the terminal, for example. The difference between the first upgrading request and the first upgrading request is mainly that the first upgrading request is sent by the terminal to the server, and the second upgrading request is sent by the terminal to the target network equipment.

The verification process in step S306 can be understood with reference to the verification process described above in connection with step S106.

In one embodiment, please refer to the processing method described in fig. 13, after step S305 and step S306, the method may further include:

The second transmission indication differs from the third transmission indication mainly in that the second transmission indication is sent to the terminal by the server, and the third transmission indication is sent to the terminal by the network device.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 14, the processing method may further include:

s309: receiving fault event information sent by any one first terminal, wherein the fault event information represents that a target fault occurs to a corresponding terminal;

s311: and receiving fault event information sent by the second terminal.

Understanding of the failure event information and the target failure can be understood with reference to the description of the related processing method of the OTA upgrade on the server side.

After step S311, any received failure event information may be sent to the server.

In the above embodiment, when any one of the network devices receives the fault event information reported by the terminal, it can trigger other terminals in the coverage area of the network device to report the fault event information of the same target fault in time, so that the collection of the fault event information can be more comprehensively realized, and the analysis and repair of the fault can be facilitated.
