Description

Firmware version upgrade method, version upgrade server and management platform

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a firmware version upgrade method, a version upgrade server, and a management platform.

Background technique

Firmware upgrades for IoT devices are an important part of IoT communication services. When IoT devices have new features or vulnerabilities that need to be fixed, IoT devices can quickly upgrade their firmware through firmware upgrade services. The firmware is a device "driver" installed inside the IoT device.

In the prior art, when a version upgrade server receives a version upgrade request from an IoT device, it needs to perform a hierarchical logical judgment on the information in the version upgrade request according to the upgrade policy corresponding to the stored IoT device. For example, the upgrade policy includes three upgrade conditions: region, manufacturer, and model. The three upgrade conditions correspond to three levels, and there is an order between the levels. For example, the order is: model, manufacturer, and region. When judging, the judgment is made layer by layer according to the hierarchical order. For example, the "model" in the version upgrade request is first matched with the "model" in the upgrade policy. When the "model" in the version upgrade request matches the "model" in the upgrade policy successfully, the version upgrade server returns the download address of the firmware to be upgraded for upgrading the IoT device of the "model" to the IoT device, so that the IoT device downloads the firmware information according to the download address and performs the version upgrade. Alternatively, when the "model" in the version upgrade request fails to match the "model" in the upgrade policy, the "manufacturer" in the version upgrade request is matched with the "manufacturer" in the upgrade policy. When the match is successful, the download address of the firmware to be upgraded for upgrading the IoT device of the "manufacturer" is returned to the IoT device. When the match is unsuccessful, the judgment is made layer by layer.

The above firmware version upgrade method generally requires 3-5 logical judgments, which results in the version upgrade server being unable to quickly return the corresponding download address, making the version upgrade inefficient.

The above drawings have shown clear embodiments of the present application, which will be described in more detail later. These drawings and text descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way, but to illustrate the concept of the present application to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments.

Detailed ways

Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

In the prior art, when a version upgrade server receives a version upgrade request from an IoT device, it needs to perform hierarchical logical judgment on the information in the version upgrade request according to the upgrade policy corresponding to the stored IoT device. For example, the upgrade policy includes three upgrade conditions: region, manufacturer, and model. The three upgrade conditions correspond to three levels, and there is an order between the levels. For example, the order is: model, manufacturer, and region. When judging, the judgment is made layer by layer according to the hierarchical order. For example, the "model" in the version upgrade request is first matched with the "model" in the upgrade policy. When the "model" in the version upgrade request matches the "model" in the upgrade policy successfully, the version upgrade server returns the download address of the firmware to be upgraded for upgrading the IoT device of the "model" to the IoT device, so that the IoT device downloads the corresponding firmware information according to the download address and performs the version upgrade. Alternatively, when the "model" in the version upgrade request fails to match the "model" in the upgrade policy, the "manufacturer" in the version upgrade request is matched with the "manufacturer" in the upgrade policy. When the match is successful, the download address of the firmware to be upgraded for upgrading the IoT device of the "manufacturer" is returned to the IoT device. When the match is unsuccessful, the judgment is made layer by layer.

When an IoT device corresponds to multiple upgrade strategies, the version upgrade server determines the upgrade strategy that matches first based on pre-set business requirements. The business requirement is the scope involved in the firmware version upgrade, for example, upgrading the firmware version of IoT devices in a region, or upgrading the firmware version of IoT devices of a model, etc.

The above firmware version upgrade method generally requires 3-5 logical judgments, which results in the version upgrade server being unable to quickly return the corresponding download address, making the version upgrade inefficient.

Therefore, the present application provides a firmware version upgrade method, which determines the priority of the upgrade strategy, assembles the upgrade condition with the highest priority value included in the upgrade strategy with the highest priority, the corresponding download address of the firmware to be upgraded and the identifier of the IoT device to form key-value type data, and uses the data as the policy information of the IoT device. The version upgrade server can directly query the download address of the firmware to be upgraded according to the identifier of the IoT device in the version upgrade request initiated by the IoT device, and the IoT device can perform the firmware version upgrade according to the download address, that is, the download address of the corresponding firmware to be upgraded can be obtained through one query, and the corresponding download address can be returned quickly, so that the efficiency of the version upgrade is improved.

The above-mentioned firmware refers to a type of software embedded in a hardware device, which is a "driver" stored inside the device. Through the firmware, the operating system can implement specific machine operation actions according to standard device drivers.

Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 1 is an application scenario applicable to the present application, wherein the version upgrade server 101, the management platform 102 and the IoT device 103 interact via the Internet, and the IoT device 103 may be a smart home appliance, such as a smart washing machine, or a smart water heater and a smart dishwasher, or other IoT devices, which are only examples. The management platform 102 assembles the policy information of the IoT device 103 according to the priority of the upgrade policy of the IoT device 103, and sends the policy information to the version upgrade server 101.

The IoT device 103 will upgrade the firmware version at every preset time and send a version upgrade request to the version upgrade server 101. The version upgrade server 101 queries the policy information of the IoT device 103 according to the version upgrade request, that is, the download address of the firmware to be upgraded, and returns the policy information to the IoT device 103, so that the IoT device 103 can download the firmware information to be upgraded according to the policy information to achieve the firmware version upgrade.

It can be understood that the number of version upgrade servers 101, management platforms 102 and IoT devices 103 can be multiple, which is not shown in the figure.

The technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments may exist independently or in combination with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Refer to Figure 2, which is a flow chart of a firmware version upgrade method provided in Example 1 of the present application. The method can be executed by a management platform, and the method includes the following steps.

S201. Create at least one upgrade strategy for an IoT device.

The upgrade policy includes at least one upgrade condition entered by the administrator. Each upgrade condition corresponds to a priority value. The upgrade condition is used to indicate the scope of the firmware version upgrade. For example, if the upgrade condition is "region", the firmware version of the IoT devices in a region will be upgraded. If the upgrade condition is "model", the firmware version of the IoT devices of a model will be upgraded.

S202: Calculate the priority value of each upgrade policy according to the priority value of the upgrade condition in each upgrade policy.

The management platform may calculate the priority value of each upgrade policy according to the priority value of the upgrade condition included in each upgrade policy, where the upgrade condition includes at least one of the following: region, manufacturer, model, version, and device identifier. The specific calculation is as follows:

Exemplarily, the priority value a ⁿ of each upgrade condition is determined, where n is the number of the upgrade condition, a is a real number greater than 1, n is a real number greater than 0, and satisfies a ¹ +a ² + … +a ^n-1 <a ⁿ . The preset upgrade conditions are: region, manufacturer, model, version, and device identification, which are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 respectively. The upgrade policy A includes two upgrade conditions, “region” and “manufacturer”, and a=2. Then 2 ¹ +2 ² + … +2 ^n-1 <2 ⁿ . According to the number of the “region” of the upgrade policy A, the priority value of the upgrade condition can be determined to be 2 ¹ , and according to the number of the “manufacturer” of the upgrade policy A, the priority value of the upgrade condition can be determined to be 2 ² .

After determining the priority value of each upgrade condition, the management platform accumulates the priority values of the upgrade conditions included in the upgrade policy to obtain the priority value of the upgrade policy. Taking the above example, the priority value of upgrade policy A is 2 ¹ +2 ² .

It is understandable that the numbering order of the upgrade conditions can be changed according to business needs, so that the priority value of the corresponding upgrade policy is also changed, thereby changing the priority of the upgrade policy.

S203: Determine the policy information of the IoT device according to the priority value of each upgrade policy.

After determining the priority value of each upgrade policy, the priority of the upgrade policy can be determined, that is, the higher the priority value, the higher the priority. The management platform determines the policy information of the IoT device according to the priority value of each upgrade policy, as follows:

The management platform determines the upgrade strategy with the highest priority value among multiple upgrade strategies as the target upgrade strategy. Then the management platform assembles the download address of the firmware to be upgraded corresponding to the upgrade condition with the highest priority value in the target upgrade strategy with the identifier of the IoT device to form key-value type data, where the identifier is the key and the download address of the firmware to be upgraded is the value. The identifier can be the device serial number, where the key is a unique identifier, and the corresponding value can be queried through the identifier.

The management platform uses the assembled key-value data as the policy information of the IoT devices.

Optionally, the management platform can also assemble the download address of the firmware to be upgraded corresponding to the upgrade condition with the highest priority value in the target upgrade policy with the model of the IoT device, or with the manufacturer of the IoT device, etc., so that the model of the IoT device or the manufacturer of the IoT device can be used as a unique identifier, and the corresponding value can be queried through the unique identifier. It can be understood that by changing the unique identifier during assembly, the download address of the firmware to be upgraded can be queried by model or manufacturer.

S204: Send the policy information to the version upgrade server.

After determining the policy information of each IoT device, the management platform sends the policy information to the version upgrade server. The policy information includes the identifier of the IoT device and the download address of the firmware to be upgraded. When the version upgrade server receives a version upgrade request sent by the IoT device, the policy information is used to query the download address of the corresponding firmware to be upgraded based on the identifier of the IoT device.

Optionally, when the amount of data is large, in order to improve the performance of data synchronization, the management platform can use asynchronous loading to upload policy information, that is, the management platform can write the policy information into a csv (Comma-Separated Values, csv for short) file, and then upload the csv file to the version upgrade server via FTP (File Transfer Protocol, FTP for short), and the management platform sends a loading command to the version upgrade server, and the loading instruction is used to remotely control the version upgrade server to store the csv file in memory.

In this embodiment, the management platform creates at least one upgrade policy for the IoT device, and then calculates the priority value of each upgrade policy according to the priority value of the upgrade condition in each upgrade policy, and then determines the policy information of the IoT device according to the priority value of each upgrade policy, and sends the policy information to the version upgrade server, so that the version upgrade server can directly query the download address of the corresponding firmware to be upgraded according to the device serial number in the version upgrade request initiated by the IoT device, and the IoT device can perform firmware version upgrade according to the download address, that is, the download address of the corresponding firmware to be upgraded can be obtained through one query, and the corresponding download address can be returned quickly, so that the efficiency of version upgrade is improved.

The version upgrade process of the Internet of Things device is described below through Example 2.

Refer to Figure 3, which is a flow chart of a firmware version upgrade method provided in Example 2 of the present application. The method can be executed by a version upgrade server, and the method includes the following steps.

S301. Receive policy information of each IoT device sent by a management platform, and store the policy information.

The version upgrade server can receive the policy information of each IoT device sent by the management platform, the policy information including the identifier of the IoT device and the download address of the firmware to be upgraded, and then store the policy information of each IoT device.

Optionally, when the amount of policy information data uploaded by the management platform is large, the version upgrade server can receive the csv file uploaded by the management platform, which includes the policy information of each IoT device. The version upgrade server then obtains the loading command sent by the management platform and loads the csv file into the memory for storage according to the loading command, thereby improving the performance of data synchronization.

S302: Receive a version upgrade request sent by a target IoT device.

Optionally, the version upgrade server may receive a version upgrade request sent by the target IoT device at preset time intervals, where the version upgrade request includes an identifier of the target IoT device. Exemplarily, the preset time may be one month, or two months, etc.

S303: According to the identifier of the target IoT device, query the stored policy information for a download address of the firmware to be upgraded of the target IoT device.

After receiving the version upgrade request, the version upgrade server can query the download address of the firmware to be upgraded of the target IoT device in the stored policy information according to the identifier of the target IoT device in the version upgrade request.

S304: Send the download address of the firmware to be upgraded of the target IoT device to the target IoT device.

After the version upgrade server obtains the download address of the firmware to be upgraded of the target IoT device from the stored policy information, it sends the download address to the target IoT device, so that the target IoT device can download the firmware information to be upgraded according to the download address to achieve firmware version upgrade.

In this embodiment, the version upgrade server receives the policy information of each IoT device sent by the management platform and stores the policy information. Then, after receiving the version upgrade request sent by the target IoT device, the download address of the corresponding firmware to be upgraded is queried in the stored policy information according to the identifier of the target IoT device in the request, and the download address is sent to the target IoT device. The download address of the corresponding firmware to be upgraded can be obtained through one query, and the corresponding download address can be returned quickly, so that the target IoT device can download the firmware information to be upgraded according to the download address to achieve firmware version upgrade, thereby improving the efficiency of version upgrade.

The generation and use of policy information of IoT devices are described above through the first and second embodiments. The interaction of various devices is described below through the third embodiment.
