Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent, the present application is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

According to the device upgrading method, device, equipment and storage medium, the new version upgrading package is stored on the equipment in the local area network, and therefore the problem that the new version upgrading package cannot exist for a long time on the equipment in the local area network is solved. If one device in the local area network has an additional storage card, storing the new version upgrade package on the storage card; if no such device exists, the new version upgrade package is distributively stored on a plurality of devices within the local area network. In addition, the device heat map information is counted, the heat of the device in each time period is recorded, so that the time period in which the device does not provide the key service is known, the time period is adopted for upgrading operation, and the influence on normal development of the service, particularly the audio and video storage service is avoided.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, a device upgrade method is provided, which is applied to a master upgrade device in a network, and includes:

step S110, obtaining version information and equipment heat map information of other equipment in the network, wherein the equipment heat map information records the heat of the equipment in each time period.

The method includes the steps that firstly, a main upgrading device in the network is determined, and the main upgrading device is a device in the network. Taking a video security network as an example, a plurality of network cameras IPC in the video security network are devices in the network, and when the IPC is upgraded, one IPC is determined as a main upgrading device. For convenience of description, in the following embodiments, IPC1 is taken as a main upgrading device, and IPC2 is taken as an example of a device to be upgraded.

The determination of the master upgrade device, which device has an additional memory card, is typically made by designating the device as the master upgrade device. For example, in one hundred devices of IPC1-IPC100, wherein an additional SD card is arranged on one device IPC1, IPC1 is selected as the main upgrading device.

It is easy to understand that if each device is configured with an SD card, the cost of the network device is increased, and it is an easily tolerable scope to additionally provide an SD card on only one device in the network. The application is not limited to the type of the memory card on the main upgrading device, and the memory card can be an SD card, other memory cards such as a TF card and the like, or an additionally arranged nonvolatile memory.

And if no device with the additional memory card is configured in the network, selecting a device with the best performance as the main upgrading device, for example, the device with the highest processing capability of the processor or the device with the highest memory. At this time, the upgrade package is stored in a distributed storage manner in a plurality of devices in the network.

As the main upgrading device, the information of the devices in the network, such as the software version information, the software upgrading packet size information, the device heat map information, the total number of the devices, and the like of each device, is collected at regular time after the device is online, and a device information table, a latest software version table, a device heat map table, and the like are maintained. The equipment information table comprises an equipment IP, an equipment serial number, version information, a proper upgrading time period and upgrading mark information; the latest software version table comprises latest software version information and storage position information; the equipment heat graph records heat graph information of each piece of equipment, the equipment heat graph records the heat of the equipment in each time period, and the equipment heat graph is obtained by monitoring all weather and accumulating the heat in each time period counted under the scene corresponding to the current equipment. The heat in each time segment in the device heat map refers to a ratio of a time length for executing the key service program in the time segment to a preset time segment, or the number of times for starting the key service program in the time segment. For example, for the network cameras IPC, the time length of each network camera IPC executing the key service program in each time section in 24h is recorded, according to the sound and motion detection result, when the network camera IPC detects the motion target, it is considered that the network camera IPC is executing the key service program, the ratio of the time length of executing the key service program to the preset time period length is taken as the heat, and the length of each preset time period can be freely set, for example, 1 hour or 2 hours.

And as a main upgrading device, calculating available residual network bandwidth according to the current service to obtain the number of upgrading channels capable of providing equipment upgrading service at the same time, and opening an upgrading auxiliary partition in the SD card for storing the number of upgrading channels, an equipment information table, a latest software version table and an equipment heat chart. And simultaneously, opening an upgrade package storage partition in an SD card of the equipment, wherein the upgrade package storage partition is used for storing the latest version upgrade package of each software category. A partition is also opened up in the SD card for storing key service program files for different upgrade channels.

The main upgrading device scans the devices in the network periodically, updates a device information table, a latest software version table, a device heat chart and the like. If the device version is low, the upgrading mark is marked (for example, the latest version is A.3, and the device version is A.2), so that the quantity of all devices needing to be upgraded is counted.

The device heat map information of this embodiment indicates whether the device is executing the critical service program in each time period. Taking the network camera IPC as an example, when the network camera IPC does not detect a moving object (sound or movement), a key business program is not executed currently, and even if the IPC stores a video, the video does not have moving object information; when the IPC detects a moving object, a key service program is executed, and the stored video contains the information of the moving object and cannot be lost. Recognizing the moving object by the IPC as executing a key service program, wherein the time period corresponds to higher heat; and regarding that the network camera IPC does not recognize the moving object as not executing the key business program, and corresponding to the time period with lower heat, thereby forming the equipment heat map information. Regarding other devices, when the device executes the key business program, the device is regarded that the time period corresponds to higher heat; and when the key service program is not executed, the time period is regarded as corresponding to lower heat, so that the equipment heat map information is obtained.

In a preferred embodiment, the main upgrade device is further provided with a memory card, the memory card is provided with an upgrade package storage partition for storing a file upgrade package, and the device upgrade method further includes:

acquiring version information of other equipment in a network, and judging whether the latest version of the file upgrade package is stored in the memory card;

Compared with the method that the upgrade package is stored on a plurality of devices in a distributed mode in the network, the method is more convenient to implement and is more convenient to issue the upgrade package. At present, some technical solutions may obtain a new version of an upgrade package from an upgrade server of an external network or obtain a new version of an upgrade package from other devices in a local area network when upgrading devices in the local area network. However, the embedded device generally only includes a processor CPU, a memory DDR and a Flash memory Flash, and the upgrade package does not exist on the embedded device for a long time, which results in that the device that needs to be upgraded cannot find the upgrade package of the new version on other devices in the lan. By adopting the method, the upgrade package is stored on the SD card or the equipment in a distributed manner, so that the upgrade package can be ensured to be always in the local area network, the equipment can be upgraded conveniently in the local area network, and an external network is not required.

Taking the SD card as an example, according to the latest software version table, it is compared whether the current SD card is the latest software version. If the version upgrading package is not stored or the SD card does not store the version upgrading package, finding any device with the latest version from the device information table, reading the version program from the Flash of the device, reversely making the version upgrading package, storing the version upgrading package to the position, corresponding to the version storage, in the reserved space of the SD card, checking the integrity, and reading again if the check is abnormal.

It should be noted that the master upgrade device scans other devices in the network to obtain version information and device hotmap information of other devices in the network, and may send the version information and the device hotmap information through a broadcast message or a unicast message, or obtain the version information and the device hotmap information when the device is discovered through some protocols. And when other equipment in the network receives the message of the main upgrading equipment, the information is fed back, the version information and the equipment heat map information of the equipment are fed back to the main upgrading equipment, and meanwhile, the information of the main upgrading equipment is recorded, so that the interaction with the main upgrading equipment is facilitated.

Step S120, determining equipment to be upgraded according to the version information of the equipment, determining upgrading time periods of the equipment to be upgraded according to the equipment heat map information, and upgrading the equipment to be upgraded in the corresponding upgrading time periods.

After acquiring the software version information of the devices in the network, the main upgrading device can know which devices need to be upgraded by comparing with the latest version information, and marks the devices needing to be upgraded as the devices to be upgraded.

And further determining an upgrading time period of the equipment to be upgraded according to the equipment heat map information, namely comparing the heat in each time period in the equipment heat map with a heat threshold, and if the heat in the time period is less than the heat threshold, determining the time period as the time period to be upgraded. In this embodiment, a time period corresponding to the lower heat map is set as a time period to be upgraded, and in this time period, the device does not execute the key service program, and can be upgraded by using this time period. Taking the webcam IPC1 as an example, in late night, a moving object is generally not detected, and it is considered that a key service program is not executed, and the key audio/video storage can be prevented from being influenced when upgrading is performed by using the period of time for upgrading.

And the main upgrading equipment sequences the equipment to be upgraded according to the upgrading time periods of all the equipment and sequentially upgrades the equipment. When upgrading, the main upgrading device is connected with the device to be upgraded, an upgrading packet is sent to the device to be upgraded, the device to be upgraded receives the upgrading packet and then upgrades the device to be upgraded, and then the upgrading is completed.

In a preferred example, the upgrading the device to be upgraded in the upgrade time period of the device includes:

In another preferred example, the upgrading the device to be upgraded in the corresponding upgrading time period includes:

storing a key service program file of the equipment to be upgraded;

sending a file upgrading packet to equipment to be upgraded to upgrade the equipment to be upgraded, detecting whether associated equipment of the equipment to be upgraded executes a key service program or not in the process of upgrading operation, if the associated equipment executes the key service program, interrupting the upgrading operation of the equipment to be upgraded, and sending a stored key service program file to the equipment to be upgraded so as to enable the equipment to be upgraded to start the key service operation;

In this example, the master upgrade first detects whether the device to be upgraded and its associated devices are executing critical business programs. The associated devices represent associations between devices, which may be business associations, such as association between a memory and a webcam IPC when storing videos. Or, the adjacent network cameras are regarded as related devices, for example, two network cameras IPC2 and IPC3 are arranged in the same corridor and are adjacent to each other to respectively shoot two sides of the corridor, so after the IPC3 detects the moving object, the IPC2 also detects the moving object approximately. Therefore, whether the equipment can be upgraded or not can be judged by knowing whether the equipment to be upgraded or the associated equipment thereof is executing the key business program or not. If the equipment to be upgraded or the associated equipment thereof is not executing the key business program, the equipment to be upgraded is considered to meet the upgrading condition, and therefore a file upgrading packet is sent to the equipment to be upgraded to upgrade the equipment to be upgraded.

For example, the network camera IPC2 to be upgraded or its neighboring network camera IPC3 detects a moving object, and it is considered that a critical business program is being executed, and it is not suitable for upgrading. If neither the IPC2 of the network camera to be upgraded nor the IPC3 of the adjacent network camera detects a moving object, the key business program is considered not to be executed, and the upgrading is suitable at this moment.

By the method of the example, firstly, when the upgrading time of the equipment to be upgraded is determined, the main upgrading equipment selects the idle time to upgrade. And when upgrading, further knowing whether the equipment to be upgraded and the linkage equipment thereof are executing the key service program, and avoiding interrupting the normal service of the equipment when the equipment executes the key service program through double determination, thereby ensuring the normal work of the equipment.

In this example, the main upgrade device stores a critical service program of the device to be upgraded, such as a program to perform video recording. Therefore, in the upgrading process, whether the associated equipment of the equipment to be upgraded executes the key service program is detected, if the associated equipment executes the key service program, the condition that the associated equipment does not meet the upgrading condition is judged, the equipment to be upgraded is interrupted to be upgraded, and the stored key service program file is sent to the equipment to be upgraded, so that the equipment to be upgraded starts the key service operation.

For example, IPC1 is an IPC2 upgrade, IPC3 is associated with IPC2, by detecting whether IPC3 is executing a key service program, if it is detected that IPC3 acquires a moving object, IPC3 is considered to be executing the key service program, IPC2 approximately needs to execute the key service program, at this time, it is considered that IPC3 of the associated device does not meet an upgrade condition, that is, IPC2 has a high probability that the IPC2 does not meet the upgrade condition, the upgrade of IPC2 is interrupted, the stored key service program file is sent to a temporary directory of IPC2, and IPC2 starts the key service program to execute the key service.

Thereafter, the master upgrade device is separated by a time period, which may be a preset time period, such as 1 minute, or delayed to the next suitable upgrade time period. And detecting whether the equipment to be upgraded and the associated equipment thereof are executing the key business program again, if the equipment to be upgraded or the associated equipment thereof do not execute the key business program, judging that the upgrading condition is met, and continuously sending a file upgrading packet to the equipment to be upgraded to carry out upgrading operation on the equipment to be upgraded.

Or, when IPC2 cannot be upgraded, the main upgrade device upgrades IPC4 of the next device to be upgraded in sequence, and after IPC4 is upgraded, the main upgrade device upgrades IPC2, which is not described herein again.

It should be noted that, in the present application, the upgrade package is preferentially stored in the memory card of the main upgrade device, and if the main upgrade device does not have a memory card, the upgrade package is stored in the backend server in the network, or the upgrade package is stored in a distributed manner by using multiple devices according to the remaining memory of the devices in the current network, so as to implement the technical scheme of the present application, which is not described herein again.

According to the method and the device, whether the key service is to be executed by the equipment in the upgrading process is judged through the linkage equipment, so that whether the upgrading is interrupted or not is determined, the key service is recovered, and important services can be prevented from being omitted when the equipment is upgraded. For the network camera IPC, the loss of key video is prevented.

In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, a specific embodiment of a device upgrade method is provided, which is applied to a master upgrade device in a network, and includes:

That is, whether there is a device that needs to be upgraded in the local area network, if there is a device that needs to be upgraded, the next step of upgrading is executed, and if there is no device that needs to be upgraded, the process returns to step S201.

And step S207, traversing the equipment to select proper equipment for upgrading.

And selecting idle equipment for upgrading according to the upgrading time period. Since the device heat map has been maintained, it is easy to discover which devices can be upgraded and which devices are not properly upgraded at the present time period.

And step S208, determining whether the upgrading condition is met, if so, performing step S209, and otherwise, returning to step S207.

The method comprises the steps of firstly obtaining whether the equipment to be upgraded and the associated equipment thereof are executing the key business program, and if the equipment to be upgraded or the associated equipment thereof are not executing the key business program, sending a file upgrading packet to the equipment to be upgraded to upgrade the equipment to be upgraded.

And step S209, determining that the equipment executes upgrading and starts upgrading.

And when the equipment is determined not to be executing the key business program, the upgrading condition is considered to be met, and upgrading is executed.

Step S210, judging whether the upgrading process has a burst situation, if so, executing step S211, otherwise, executing upgrading to finish upgrading, and returning to step S206.

In the process of sending a file upgrading packet to equipment to be upgraded, detecting whether equipment associated with the equipment to be upgraded executes a key service program or not, and judging whether the equipment associated with the equipment to be upgraded has a sudden situation or not in the upgrading process, namely the situation that the associated equipment executes the key service program and does not meet upgrading conditions exists, and the equipment which is being upgraded does not meet the upgrading conditions at the moment, so that the key service needs to be executed.

And step S211, stopping upgrading and restarting the IPC service.

And when the emergency situation exists in the upgrading process, the upgrading of the equipment to be upgraded is stopped, and the stored key service program file is sent to the equipment to be upgraded so that the equipment to be upgraded starts the key service.

And step S212, judging whether upgrading is available in a short time, if so, returning to step S209, and otherwise, returning to step S207.

In the step, delaying a preset time, for example, 10-100 seconds, re-determining whether an upgrade condition is met, if so, continuing to upgrade the equipment, otherwise, selecting the next equipment to upgrade.
