The method and apparatus provided by the present invention will now be described in detail with particular embodiments thereof, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the OTA upgrading method provided in the embodiment of the present invention is provided with first upgrade configuration information for a program of each hardware module, where the first upgrade configuration information indicates whether to allow the program upgrade of the hardware module, and second upgrade configuration information is preset for a terminal device, where the second upgrade configuration information indicates an OTA upgrade scheme that allows the terminal device to use, as shown in fig. 2, and may include the following steps:

In step 201, an OTA upgrade packet sent by the server is received, where the OTA upgrade packet includes configuration information indicating a program of a hardware module to be upgraded and an upgrade packet of the program of the hardware module to be upgraded.

In the embodiment of the invention, the request for acquiring the OTA upgrade package can be sent to the server through the terminal equipment, and the server can send the OTA upgrade package to the terminal equipment after receiving the request sent by the terminal equipment, so that the terminal equipment receives the OTA upgrade package sent by the server. The request sent by the terminal device to the server may include: the identification information of each hardware module to be upgraded in the terminal equipment can be the name of each hardware module. After receiving the identification information included in the request sent by the terminal device, the server may send an OTA upgrade packet to the terminal device, where the OTA upgrade packet includes configuration information indicating a program of a hardware module that needs to be upgraded in the terminal device, and an upgrade packet of a program of a hardware module that needs to be upgraded in the terminal device.

In the embodiment of the invention, the OTA upgrade package can also be directly sent to the terminal equipment through the server, and the terminal equipment receives the OTA upgrade package sent by the server. The server directly sends the OTA upgrade package to the terminal device, which may include configuration information indicating a program of the upgradeable hardware module existing in the server, and an upgrade package indicating a program of the upgradeable hardware module existing in the server.

Step 202, determining the program of each hardware module to be upgraded from the programs of a plurality of hardware modules based on the configuration information.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the configuration information may be a file named config.xml included in the OTA upgrade package, where a target upgrade version number of a program of a hardware module to be upgraded in the terminal device, a file name of the upgrade package of the program of the hardware module to be upgraded, and an MD5 (information summary algorithm) value of the upgrade package of the program of the hardware module to be upgraded are recorded in the config.xml file. In the embodiment of the invention, the program of each hardware module to be upgraded can be determined from the programs of each hardware module of the terminal equipment according to the target upgrade version number recorded in the Config.xml file, the file name of the upgrade package of the program of the hardware module to be upgraded and the MD5 value of the upgrade package of the program of the hardware module to be upgraded, and then the program of the hardware module is upgraded by using the target upgrade version in the upgrade package corresponding to the program of the hardware module to be upgraded.

In this step, for the programs of the plurality of hardware modules of the terminal device, when the target upgrade version number of the program of the hardware module, the file name of the OTA upgrade package of the program of the hardware module, or the MD5 value of the OTA upgrade package of the program of the hardware module exist in the configuration information, the program of the hardware module may be determined to be the program of the hardware module that needs to be upgraded.

Step 203, selecting a program of a hardware module allowing upgrade from programs of each hardware module to be upgraded based on the first upgrade configuration information, and determining the program as a program to be upgraded.

In the embodiment of the present invention, if the first upgrade configuration information is not configured, the program of all hardware modules may be defaulted to be upgraded, and in this case, the program of each hardware module in the OTA upgrade package received by the terminal device is determined to be the program to be upgraded.

In the embodiment of the invention, the first upgrade configuration information can be set for the programs of the hardware modules.

In this step, the first upgrade configuration information may be determined by:

For each program of the hardware module, if an upgrade permission option corresponding to the program of the hardware module is selected, determining that the first upgrade configuration information of the program of the hardware module represents that the program of the hardware module is permitted to be upgraded; or if the program of the hardware module is selected from the options which are not allowed to be upgraded, determining that the first upgrade configuration information of the program of the hardware module indicates that the program of the hardware module is not allowed to be upgraded.

For example, the upgrade permission option and the upgrade non-permission option corresponding to the program of each hardware module can be displayed through the configuration interface. For the programs of the hardware modules, a user can determine that the first upgrade configuration information of the programs of the hardware modules represents that the programs of the hardware modules are allowed to be upgraded by clicking the upgrade allowing options corresponding to the programs of the hardware modules on the display interface; or the user can also determine that the first upgrade configuration information of the program of the hardware module indicates that the program of the hardware module is not allowed to be upgraded by clicking a non-allowed upgrade option corresponding to the program of the hardware module on the display interface.

The user can also determine that the first upgrade configuration information of the programs of all hardware modules in the terminal equipment represents the upgrade permission by clicking all the permit options on the display interface; or the user can also determine that the first upgrade configuration information of the programs of all hardware modules in the terminal equipment indicates that the upgrade is not allowed by clicking all the disallowed options on the display interface.

In this step, the default program of the hardware module to be upgraded in the terminal device may also be determined as the program to be upgraded.

Step 204, when the upgrade condition of the OTA upgrade scheme that allows the terminal device to use is determined based on the second upgrade configuration information is triggered, according to the OTA upgrade scheme, the upgrade package of the program to be upgraded in the OTA upgrade package is used to upgrade the program to be upgraded.

In the embodiment of the invention, the second upgrade configuration information may be determined by:

Illustratively, the upgrade-allowed option and the upgrade-disallowed option corresponding to each OTA upgrade scheme can be presented through a configuration interface.

For each OTA upgrade scheme, a user can determine that second upgrade configuration information of the OTA upgrade scheme indicates that the terminal equipment is allowed to use the OTA upgrade scheme by clicking an upgrade allowing option corresponding to the OTA upgrade scheme on the display interface; or the user can also determine that the second upgrade configuration information of the OTA upgrade scheme indicates that the terminal equipment is not allowed to use the OTA upgrade scheme by clicking a non-allowed upgrade option corresponding to the OTA upgrade scheme on the display interface.

The user can also determine that the second upgrade configuration information all represents that the terminal equipment is allowed to use all OTA upgrade schemes by clicking all the permission options on the display interface; or the user can also determine that the second upgrade configuration information indicates that the terminal equipment is not allowed to use any OTA upgrade scheme by clicking all the disallowed options on the presentation interface.

In this step, the default allowed OTA upgrade scheme in the terminal device may also be determined as the allowed OTA upgrade scheme indicated by the second upgrade configuration information.

In this step, the OTA upgrade scheme determined to be allowed to be used based on the second upgrade configuration information may include at least one of the following upgrade schemes:

The method comprises the steps of starting an automatic upgrading scheme, wherein the terminal equipment triggers the automatic upgrading scheme after starting from non-starting state to starting state;

The post-factory-setting updating scheme is triggered after the terminal equipment is restored to factory setting;

And setting a time period upgrading scheme, wherein the time period upgrading scheme is triggered when the current time is monitored within a preset time period, and the preset time period can be specifically set according to actual requirements, for example, the preset time period can be 1 point to 6 points at night.

By adopting the method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the program to be upgraded is determined from the programs of a plurality of hardware modules of the terminal equipment through the configuration information and the first configuration information, the OTA upgrading scheme allowing the terminal equipment to use is determined through the second configuration information, and the program to be upgraded is upgraded according to the OTA upgrading scheme, so that the upgrading requirements of the diversified hardware modules in the terminal equipment and the diversified actual application scenes are upgraded by adopting the corresponding OTA upgrading scheme, and the upgrading experience of the user is improved.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the OTA upgrading method provided in the embodiment of the present invention is provided with first upgrade configuration information for a program of each hardware module, where the first upgrade configuration information indicates whether to allow the program upgrade of the hardware module, and second upgrade configuration information is preset for a terminal device, where the second upgrade configuration information indicates an OTA upgrade scheme that allows the terminal device to use, as shown in fig. 3, and may include the following steps:

Step 301, receiving new version information sent by the server, where the new version information indicates that there is a program of a hardware module that needs to be upgraded.

In the step, a request for acquiring new version information can be sent to a server through a terminal device, the server can send the new version information to the terminal device after receiving the request sent by the terminal device, and then the terminal device can receive the new version information sent by the server; the new version information can also be directly sent to the terminal equipment through the server, and the terminal equipment can receive the new version information sent by the server. The new version information may include an upgrade version number of the OTA upgrade package, and the new version information may also carry upgrade type information, where the upgrade type information may be an identifier of an OTA upgrade scheme.

Step 302, determining whether the new version information carries upgrade type information, and whether the OTA upgrade scheme indicated by the upgrade type information is an OTA upgrade scheme that allows the terminal device to use, if yes, executing step 303, and if no, executing step 308.

In this step, when the update type information is included in the new version information, it may be determined whether the OTA update scheme indicated by the update type information is an OTA update scheme that allows the terminal device to use by monitoring the second update configuration information. The specific judging method can be as follows:

When it is monitored that an allowable upgrade option corresponding to an OTA upgrade scheme represented by upgrade type information in the second upgrade configuration information is selected, determining that the second upgrade configuration information represents that the terminal equipment is allowed to use the OTA upgrade scheme; or the selection of a non-allowed upgrading option corresponding to the OTA upgrading scheme indicated by the upgrading type information in the second upgrading configuration information is monitored, and the fact that the terminal equipment is not allowed to use the OTA upgrading scheme is determined by the second upgrading configuration information. The method for determining the second upgrade configuration information is described in detail in step 204, and will not be described here again.

In step 303, when the new version information carries the upgrade type information and the OTA upgrade scheme indicated by the upgrade type information is an OTA upgrade scheme that allows the terminal device to use, the server is requested to download the OTA upgrade package.

In this step, the OTA upgrade scheme indicated by the upgrade type information may be: one of a forced upgrade scheme and a silent upgrade scheme.

For the forced upgrade scheme, whether the terminal equipment receives the new version information sent by the server or not can be monitored; after receiving the new version information sent by the server, determining whether the new version information carries upgrade type information representing a forced upgrade scheme; when the new version information carries upgrade type information representing a forced upgrade scheme, and the forced upgrade scheme is an OTA upgrade scheme allowing the terminal equipment to use, the server can request to download an OTA upgrade package.

Aiming at the silent upgrading scheme, monitoring whether the terminal equipment receives new version information sent by the server; after receiving the new version information sent by the server, determining whether the new version information carries upgrade type information representing a silent upgrade scheme; when the new version information carries upgrade type information representing a silent upgrade scheme, and the silent upgrade scheme is an OTA upgrade scheme allowing the terminal equipment to use, the downloading of an OTA upgrade packet can be requested to a server.

For example, when the acquired new version information carries an identifier of the forced upgrade scheme, and the terminal device allows the forced upgrade scheme to be used, the server may be requested to download the OTA upgrade package.

Steps 304-306 correspond to steps 201-203, respectively, and are not described here again.

Step 307, according to the OTA upgrade scheme indicated by the upgrade type information, the upgrade package of the program to be upgraded in the OTA upgrade package is used to upgrade the program to be upgraded.

In this step, for example, when the obtained new version information carries the identifier of the forced upgrade scheme and the terminal device allows the forced upgrade scheme to be used, after requesting to download the OTA upgrade package from the server, the upgrade package of the program to be upgraded in the OTA upgrade package may be used to upgrade the program to be upgraded according to the forced upgrade scheme.

steps 401 to 403 correspond to steps 201 to 203, respectively, and are not described here again.

Step 404, for each program to be upgraded, it is determined whether the upgrade condition of the OTA upgrade scheme allowed to be used for the program to be upgraded determined based on the third upgrade configuration information is triggered, if yes, step 405 is executed, and if no, step 406 is executed.

In this step, the OTA upgrade scheme determined to be allowed to be used based on the third upgrade configuration information may include at least one of the following upgrade schemes:

The method comprises the steps of starting an automatic upgrading scheme, wherein after terminal equipment is changed from non-starting to starting, upgrading conditions of the automatic upgrading scheme are determined to be triggered;

after restoring the factory setting, determining that the upgrading conditions of the post-factory setting upgrading scheme are triggered after the terminal equipment is restored to the factory setting;

and setting a time period upgrading scheme, wherein when the current time is monitored to be within a preset time period, the upgrading condition of the time period upgrading scheme is determined to be triggered, and the preset time period can be specifically set according to actual requirements, for example, the preset time period can be 1 to 6 points at night.

In the embodiment of the present invention, for the program of each hardware module, the third upgrade configuration information may be determined by:

for each usable OTA upgrade scheme, if the upgrade permission option corresponding to the OTA upgrade scheme is selected, determining that the program of the hardware module is permitted to use the OTA upgrade scheme by the third upgrade configuration information of the program of the hardware module; or if the upgrade disallowing option corresponding to the OTA upgrade scheme is selected, determining that the third upgrade configuration information of the program of the hardware module indicates that the program of the hardware module is disallowed to use the OTA upgrade scheme. The upgrade permission option and the upgrade non-permission option corresponding to each OTA upgrade scheme of the program of each hardware module capable of being used can be displayed on the same display interface.
