Step S102: when the identification type is an updating type, whether the electronic equipment can be started normally is detected.
Step S103: and when the electronic equipment cannot be normally started, adding one to the restart times in a preset time period, and detecting whether the restart times are not less than the preset times. The preset time period may be a time period preset by a user, for example, from a preset starting time to a current time, or within 5 minutes after the update starts, and the preset times may be times preset by the user, for example, 2 times, 5 times, and the like.
Step S104: when the restarting times are not less than the preset times, determining that the electronic equipment fails to be updated, and executing at least one of the following processes: controlling the electronic equipment to stop restarting; setting the identification type of the electronic equipment as an update failure type; sending prompt information of firmware updating failure to a cloud server and/or user equipment; receiving a first firmware to be updated sent by an upper computer, and updating the firmware of the electronic equipment again by using the first firmware to be updated.

Referring to fig. 4, in a specific embodiment, the method may further include step S108.
Step S108: and when the electronic equipment can be started normally, determining that the electronic equipment is updated successfully, and setting the identification type as a normal type.
Therefore, when the electronic equipment can be started normally, the electronic equipment can be determined to be updated successfully, the identifier of the electronic equipment is set to be of a normal type, and the electronic equipment is updated successfully and is in a normal working state.
