Here, the main control module at least includes a Central Processing Unit (CPU), a buffer register, a memory, and the like, and is configured to store version information of the home appliance, and run a system program corresponding to the stored version information, so that the home appliance can execute a corresponding process based on the stored version information, and implement a corresponding function.

In the embodiment of the application, in the household appliance, the display module and the main control module can be in communication connection based on serial port lines or pins. When communication is carried out, on one hand, transparent transmission or non-transparent transmission can be adopted; on the other hand, serial transmission or synchronous transmission may also be adopted, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Then, after receiving the version update data sent by the communication module in step S101, the display module transmits the received version update data to the main control module.

In some embodiments, when the version update data received by the display module through step S101 is divided into a plurality of version update sub-data, the plurality of version update sub-data are sequentially transmitted to the main control module.

And step S103, upgrading the system based on the version updating data.

Here, after the main control module receives the version update data, the current version information of the home appliance is updated or upgraded based on the version update data, so as to implement system upgrade of the home appliance.

In some embodiments, whether the version updating data is version upgrading differential data or version data higher than the current version information can be further determined, wherein the version upgrading differential data refers to data for performing bug fixing or function improvement on the current version information; the version data higher than the current version information can be version data of latest version information in the server, is complete version data of the version information, and can be used for upgrading the household appliance system by replacing the version data of the current version information with the version data of the latest version information.

In some embodiments, when the version updating data is the version updating differential data, the current version information can be modified, increased or decreased through the version updating data, so as to achieve the purpose of system bug repair or function improvement, thereby completing the system updating of the household appliance; and when the version updating data is version data higher than the current version information, the version updating data can be used for replacing the version data of the current version information so as to upgrade the system of the household appliance to a higher version and realize the function corresponding to the higher version, thereby completing the system upgrade of the household appliance.

The embodiment of the application provides a system upgrading method, which is applied to household appliances, wherein the household appliances at least comprise a communication module, a display module and a main control module, the communication module is in communication connection with the display module, and when the version updating opportunity is determined to be reached, the communication module is controlled to send version updating data to the display module, wherein the version updating data is sent to the communication module by a server when the version updating is determined to exist; then, controlling the display module to transmit the received version updating data to the main control module; and finally, the main control module carries out system upgrading based on the version updating data. Through establishing the communication connection between the communication module and the display module, the communication module does not need to be established between the communication module and the main control module on the basis of ensuring the realization of system upgrading, so that the compatibility with the communication module and the interface connection with the communication module do not need to be taken into consideration when the main control module is researched and developed, the research and development period of the main control module is shortened, the port resource and the operation resource of the main control module are saved, the stability and the reliability of the main control module are improved, and the standardized design of the main control module is facilitated.

Based on the foregoing embodiment, a system upgrade method is further provided in the embodiments of the present application, which is applied to an electrical appliance, where the electrical appliance at least includes a communication module, a display module, and a main control module, and the communication module establishes a communication connection with the display module, as shown in fig. 2, the method includes:

in step S201, it is determined whether a query condition is reached.

In the embodiment of the present application, when it is determined that the query condition is reached, a query operation is started, and the process proceeds to step S202; if the query condition is determined not to have been reached, the query operation is not started, and the process returns to step S201 to continuously determine whether the query condition is reached.

Wherein, the query condition can be determined to be reached through the following two ways:

the first method is as follows: and when the household appliance is monitored to be powered on or started, determining that the query condition is reached.

In this embodiment, it may be determined that the query condition is met when it is monitored that the power line of the home appliance is powered on. Or when the 'power-on' button on the household appliance is monitored to be triggered, the household appliance is considered to be started, and therefore the query condition is determined to be reached.

The second method comprises the following steps: and under the condition that the household appliance is in a power-on state, determining that the interval duration between the current time and the historical time of sending the query request last time reaches the preset query duration, and determining that the query condition is reached.

Here, the power-on state refers to a state in which a power line of the home appliance is powered on, and at this time, the home appliance may be in a standby state or in a power-on state. Further, determining the current time and the historical time of the last sending of the query request; then, determining the interval duration of the two moments; finally, judging whether the interval duration reaches the preset query duration, and if the interval duration reaches the preset query duration, determining that the query condition is reached; and if the interval time does not reach the preset query time, determining that the query condition is not reached. The preset query duration may be a default value, for example, 0.5 hour, 1 hour, 2 hours, and the like; the preset query duration can also be a user-defined value, so that the flexibility of the preset query time can be increased.

And step S202, controlling the display module to acquire the current version information.

Here, the display module is controlled to acquire the current version information when it is determined that the query condition is reached. Because communication connection exists between the display module and the main control module in the household appliance device based on serial port lines or pins, the display module can be controlled to acquire the current version information of the household appliance device from the main control module through an instruction or a command line, wherein the current version information at least comprises the version number, release time, installation time, an installation package and the like of the current version of the current system of the household appliance device.

Step S203, the control display module sends the current version information to the communication module.

Here, the wireless communication module is also in communication connection with the display module, and further, the communication module may be in communication connection with the display module through a hardware interface and/or a communication bus, so that the display module may transmit the current version information to the communication module through the communication connection.

In the embodiment of the application, after the display module acquires the current version information, the current version information can be directly sent to the communication module, and of course, the display module can be controlled by an instruction or a command line to send the current version information to the communication module.

And step S204, controlling the communication module to send the current version information to the server.

Here, the communication module may transmit the current version information to the server by wireless communication, wherein the purpose of the communication module transmitting the current version information to the server is: so that the server determines the version update data and transmits the version update data to the communication module when determining that the current version information is not the latest version information.

In this embodiment of the application, the server may be a general server or a dedicated server, and the communication module may send the current version information to the server in a wired manner or a wireless manner.

In step S205, the server determines whether the current version information is the latest version information.

Here, the server can access the internet and store the latest version information of the home appliance. When the server receives the current version information sent by the communication module of the household appliance, whether the version number of the current version information is the version number of the latest version information or not can be judged, if the version number of the current version information is the version number of the latest version information, the household appliance is indicated not to need system upgrade, and the step S202 is returned; if the version number of the current version information is not the version number of the latest version information, it indicates that the household electrical appliance needs to perform system upgrade, and the server can determine version update data at least including the version number of the latest version, release time, and installation package based on the latest version information, and enter step S206, that is, send the version update data to the communication module.

In step S206, the server transmits the version update data to the communication module.

And sending the determined version updating data to a communication module of the household appliance so as to upgrade the system of the household appliance.

And step S207, controlling the display module to send a query request to the communication module.

Here, the display module may be controlled by an instruction or command line to transmit an inquiry request to the communication module, wherein the inquiry request is for inquiring whether version update data exists in the communication module.

Step S208, determining whether the communication module has version update data.

Here, the data in the communication module may be acquired, and if the data can be acquired, it is considered that the version update data exists in the communication module, and the process proceeds to step S209, that is, it is determined that the version update timing is reached. If the data cannot be acquired, the communication module is determined to have no version update data, and the process goes to step S202 to continue to control the display module to acquire the current version information.

In step S209, it is determined that the version update timing is reached.

Here, the version update timing means that the version update condition is already satisfied, that is, the preparation work such as communication connection and version update information is ready, and the version update operation can be performed.

Step S210, obtaining a storage space occupied by the version update data.

Here, the attribute information of the version-up data may be obtained by obtaining the attribute information, where the attribute information at least includes a size of the occupied storage space, and obtaining the storage space occupied by the version-up data based on the attribute information.

Step S211, determine whether the storage space exceeds the storage threshold.

Here, the storage threshold may be 150 kilobytes (K), 200K, etc., and if the storage space is greater than the storage threshold, the step S214 is entered, and the communication module is controlled to divide the version update data according to the preset specification; if the storage space is less than or equal to the storage threshold, the communication module does not need to be controlled to segment the version update sub-data, and step S212 is performed, that is, the communication module is controlled to send the version update data to the display module.

Step S212, the communication module is controlled to send version update data to the display module.

Here, the communication module transmits the version update data to the display module through the established communication connection between the communication module and the display module. As shown in fig. 3, this can be achieved by the following steps S2121 to S2122:

and S2121, performing security analysis on the version updating data based on a preset security policy to obtain an analysis result.

Here, in order to ensure the security of the version update data and prevent the version update data from including virus data such as network viruses and file viruses, it is necessary to perform security analysis on the version update data based on a preset security policy, where the preset security policy may be an identity-based security policy, a rule-based security policy, or a role security policy. Then, through the security analysis, an analysis result indicating whether the version update data is secure can be obtained.

Step S2122, determining that the version updating data meet the preset safety condition based on the analysis result, and controlling the communication module to send the version updating data to the display module.

Here, the preset safety condition may be that the probability of the existence of the virus in the version-up data is lower than a safety threshold, the safety threshold may be 0.8%, 1%, and so on, and taking the probability threshold as 1%, for example, if the analysis result indicates that the probability of the existence of the virus in the version-up data is 0.6%, it is determined that the version-up data meets the tongue safety condition, and the adjustment module is controlled to send the version-up data to the display.

Through the steps S2121 and S2122, the security analysis is performed on the version update data based on the preset security policy to obtain an analysis result, and when the analysis result determines that the version update data meets the preset security condition, the communication module is controlled to send the version update data to the display module, so that the security of the update data can be ensured, the home appliance device is prevented from receiving malignant attacks such as viruses, and the defense capability of the home appliance device is improved.

Step S213, the control display module transmits the received version update data to the main control module.

Here, since the main control module stores and runs the version-related information, after the display module receives the version-update data, the version-update data is transmitted to the main control module through the communication connection.

And step S214, controlling the communication module to divide the version updating data according to the preset specification to obtain a plurality of version updating subdata.

Here, the preset specification may be a value smaller than or equal to the storage threshold, for example, when the storage threshold is 150K, the preset specification may be 100K, 120K, and so on. Then, the control communication module divides the version update data according to the preset specification, and at least two version update subdata can be obtained. For example, when the storage space is 500K, the storage threshold is 150K, and the preset specification is 100K, 5 version update sub-data can be obtained.

Step S215, the communication module is controlled to sequentially send the plurality of version update sub-data to the display module.

Here, in the implementation process of step S215 and the implementation process of step S212, the only difference is that the transmitted data is replaced by the version update data with the plurality of version update sub-data, that is, from one transmission to a plurality of transmissions. Therefore, the implementation process of step S215 may refer to the implementation process of step S212.

Step S216, the control display module sequentially transmits the received multiple version update sub-data to the main control module.

Here, in the implementation process of step S216 and the implementation process of step S213, the only difference is that the transmitted data is replaced by the plurality of version update sub-data from the version update data, that is, one transmission is replaced by a plurality of transmissions. Therefore, the implementation process of step S216 may refer to the implementation process of step S213.

Step S217, verifying the version updating data based on a preset verification method to obtain a verification result.

Here, in order to ensure that the received version update data is complete data, the version update data is checked based on a predetermined checking method, wherein the predetermined checking method may be cyclic redundancy check, parity check, square matrix check, or the like. Based on this, a verification result capable of characterizing the integrity of the version update data is obtained.

And step S218, determining that the verification result representation version updating data meets the data integrity condition, and performing system upgrading based on the version updating data.

Here, the integrity condition is that the version update data received by the main control module is consistent with the version update data determined by the server, that is, the data is not lost in the transmission process, and then the system is upgraded based on the version update data. As shown in fig. 4, system upgrade may be implemented by the following steps S2181 and S2182:

step S2181, determining the version updating data as version updating differential data, and performing system updating based on the current version information and the version updating data.

The version upgrading differential data refers to data with a bug repair function or a complete function on the current version information, and when the version upgrading data is determined to be the version upgrading differential data, the current version information can be modified, increased or decreased through the version upgrading data, so that the purpose of system bug repair or complete function is achieved, and the system upgrading of the household appliance is completed.

Step S2182, determining that the version update data is version data higher than the current version information, and performing system upgrade based on the version update data.

Here, the version data higher than the current version information may be version data of the latest version information in the server, which is version data of one complete version information. And when the version updating data is determined to be the version data higher than the current version information, the version updating data can be used for replacing the version data of the current version information so as to upgrade the system of the household appliance to a higher version and realize the function corresponding to the higher version, thereby completing the system upgrade of the household appliance.

Through the steps S2181 and S2182, the home appliance device can further determine whether the version update data is version upgrade differential data or version data higher than the current version information, and perform different operations based on different version update data, and when the version update data is determined to be the version upgrade differential data, vulnerability repair and function improvement are performed on the current version information; and when the version updating data is version data higher than the current version information, the current version information is comprehensively upgraded. Therefore, different types of upgrading of the system can be realized.

In the embodiment of the present application, through the steps S201 to S218, when the home appliance is powered on and started, or in a powered-on state, and a preset query duration is separated from a historical time at which a query request was sent last time, it is determined that a query condition is reached; in some embodiments, when the server receives the current version information, the current version information is compared with the latest version information stored by the server, and when the current version information is compared to be not the latest version information, the server generates version update data based on the latest version information and sends the version update data to the communication module. In addition, in other embodiments, once the server finds that there is a version update, the server determines the version update data and actively sends the version update data to the communication module. Then, the control display module sends a query request to the communication module through communication connection, the query request is used for judging whether the communication module has version updating data, and when the communication module does not have the version updating data, the control display module continues to obtain the current version information; and when the communication module has the version updating data, determining that the version updating time is reached. The method comprises the steps that a storage space of version updating data is obtained, whether the storage space of the version updating data searches a storage threshold value or not is judged, and when the storage space exceeds the storage threshold value, in order to ensure the version updating data transmitted on the premise that the household appliance operates normally, a communication module can divide the version updating data, send version updating subdata to a display module in blocks, and the same display module can transmit the version updating subdata to a main control module in blocks; and under the condition that the storage space does not exceed the storage threshold, the communication module can directly send the version updating data to the display module, and the same display module transmits the version updating data to the main control module. And finally, the main control module checks the received version updating data or the version updating subdata, and when the checking result represents that the version updating data or the version updating subdata are complete, the system is upgraded based on the version updating data. In the whole upgrading process, the main control module does not directly communicate with the communication module, therefore, communication connection between the main control module and the communication module is not required to be established, namely, when the main control module is researched and developed, compatibility with the communication module and interface connection with the communication module are not required to be considered, so that the research and development period of the main control module is shortened, port resources and running resources of the main control module are saved, stability and reliability of the main control module are improved, and standardized design of the main control module is facilitated.

Based on the foregoing embodiment, an embodiment of the present application further provides a system upgrade method, which is applied to a washing machine, the washing machine includes a main control board, a WIFI module, and a display board, the WIFI module is embedded in the display board through a port, a home appliance can access a cloud server through the WIFI module, referring to fig. 5, a communication connection exists between the main control board 511 and the display board 513, since the WIFI module 512 is embedded in the display board 513, the display board 513 and the WIFI module 512 can establish a communication connection through the port, and the washing machine 51 can establish a communication connection with the cloud server 52 through a wireless communication function of the WIFI module 512. As shown in fig. 6, the method includes:

step S601, determining that the washing machine is powered on or started.

Here, the washing machine is powered on, that is, the washing machine is powered on, and the starting is that a 'switch' button of the washing machine is triggered, and at the moment, the operation program of the washing machine is ready.

And step S602, the display panel sends the current version information of the main control panel to the WIFI module.

Step S603, the WIFI module uploads the current version information to the cloud server.

In step S604, the cloud server determines whether the current version information is the latest version information.

Here, the cloud server may determine the latest version information stored by itself, and compare the current version information with the latest version information, and when the current version information is the latest version information, it indicates that the washing machine does not need to perform system upgrade, then step S602 is performed; when the current version information is not the latest version information, it indicates that the latest version information of a higher version exists at present, and the version of the latest version information is higher than that of the current version information, at this time, the washing machine needs to perform system upgrade, and the process proceeds to step S605.

Step S605, the cloud server controls downloading of version update data to the WIFI module.

Here, the cloud server determines version update data including a version number, a publication time, and an installation package based on the latest version information, and transmits the version update data to the WIFI module.

Step S606, the display panel inquires whether version update data exists in the WIFI module.

Here, the display panel sends an inquiry command to the WIFI module for determining whether version update data exists in the WIFI module, where the version update data may be OTA upgrade data. If the version updating data exists in the WIFI module, which indicates that the washing machine is going to update the version, the step S607 is executed; if the version updating data does not exist in the WIFI module, the washing machine does not need to be updated in version updating, and the step S602 is returned.

In step S607, the WIFI module divides the version update data into small pieces of data to be downloaded to the display panel.

Here, in order to ensure that each component inside the washing machine operates normally without being affected by the version update, the main control board, the display board and the WIFI module may respectively allocate 200K to 300K of storage space to store the version update data. Considering that the storage space occupied by the actual version update data is generally large and can exceed 300K, the WIFI module divides the version update data to obtain a plurality of small data blocks, and downloads the small data blocks to the display panel.

In step S608, the display panel transparently transmits the received small data to the main control panel.

Here, after the display panel receives the plurality of small pieces of data, the plurality of small pieces of data are sequentially transmitted to the main control panel, wherein the transmission efficiency can be improved through the transmission.

In step S609, the display panel determines whether the block data is transmitted completely.
