Detailed Description

In the following, the terms "first", "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of the present embodiment, "a plurality" means two or more unless otherwise specified.

Updating, also called version upgrading, refers to perfecting a previous version of an operating system or APP, such as bug fixing, function upgrading, performance optimization, and the like. The updates to the electronic device include version updates and parameter updates. The version updating is characterized by longer updating period and more updating contents; and the updating content of the parameter updating is generally less, and the real-time property is more important.

Refer to fig. 1, which is a schematic diagram illustrating an effect of a parameter updating method provided in the prior art. Fig. 1 (a) is a schematic diagram illustrating that an electronic device downloads an update package, fig. 1 (b) is a schematic diagram illustrating that a restart is instructed after the update is completed, and fig. 1 (c) is a schematic diagram illustrating a notification message.

The version packet data includes version update data and parameter update data. As shown in fig. 1 (a), the version pack has a large data size (509 Megabytes, 509MB for short) and a long download time (1 hour 20 minutes). As shown in fig. 1 (b), when the download is completed, a restart message "version update is completed, i.e., about to restart" is displayed on the screen of the electronic device. As shown in fig. 1 (c), after the restart, the updated content is displayed on the screen, and the content includes "new computing power upgrade, and the rendering speed is increased; optimizing the power consumption of the system; adding the sound of hundreds of global organisms; adding super wallpaper; newly adding fuzzy positioning; optimizing privacy protection; input method conflict remediation ". The 'input method conflict repair' is parameter upgrade aiming at system parameters of the electronic equipment, but parameter information corresponding to the parameter upgrade is packaged in a version package and can not be downloaded by the electronic equipment when the version is updated. This approach results in the parameters of the electronic device being updated untimely and thus the user experience is poor.

Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a parameter updating method, which can decouple a parameter updating package from a version package, as shown in fig. 2, and separately store the parameter updating package on a server (such as the cloud side shown in fig. 2). The electronic equipment sends the equipment information to the server so that the server can judge whether the updating condition is met or not according to the equipment information. When the device information meets the update condition, the electronic device receives a parameter update package from the server, wherein the parameter update package comprises system update parameters for the operating system. Updating of system parameters of the operating system is then completed based on the parameter update package. Therefore, the parameter updating package for updating the system parameters of the electronic equipment does not need to be released together with the version package, and the requirements of parameter independence and real-time updating can be met. And the parameter updating package does not generally involve updating a driver of the electronic equipment, so that the equipment does not need to be restarted when the parameters of the electronic equipment are updated independently, and the efficiency of updating the system parameters is higher.

With continued reference to fig. 2, for the version package, the cloud side issues the version package separately, so that the electronic device can download the version package from the cloud side when the version update is needed. And restarting the operating system after the version package is installed on the electronic equipment so as to finish updating the version of the electronic equipment. After the update is completed, the device version number of the electronic device may change to indicate that the electronic device completed updating the version.

It should be noted that, based on the difference between the update objects, the parameter update package includes a first parameter update package, a second parameter update package, and a third parameter update package. Wherein the first parameter update package includes a first parameter that includes a system update parameter of an operating system of the electronic device. The first parameter corresponds to a first update condition, so that when the device information satisfies the first update condition, the first parameter update package is sent to a target electronic device in the plurality of electronic devices, so that the target electronic device updates the operating system based on the system update parameter in the first parameter update package. The second parameter update package includes a second parameter that includes a three-party application update parameter. Alternatively, the first parameter comprises a first application update parameter and the second parameter comprises a second system update parameter. That is, the first parameter and the second parameter are parameters for different update objects, respectively. The third parameter update package includes a third parameter, which may be a different parameter for the three-party application update than the second parameter, such as the second parameter includes a first three-party application update parameter and the third parameter includes a second three-party application update parameter.

The parameter updating method provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to a parameter updating system. For example, referring to fig. 3, the parameter updating system 20 includes a server 200 and at least one electronic device 300. In some embodiments, server 200 further includes a storage server 210 and a platform server 220. The storage server 210 may be a cloud server for storing data. The platform server may be a publishing platform for publishing the parameter update package and formulating a publishing policy (or called an update condition). The electronic device 300 may include multiple APPs, such as a video APP, a taxi APP, a map APP, and the like.

The electronic device 300 sends device information to the platform server 220, where the device information includes system application version information of the APP, device version information of the electronic device 300, a device model of the electronic device 300, and the like.

In some embodiments, after the platform server 220 obtains the parameter update package, it is determined which parameters of the electronic device 300 are updated by the parameter update package. In particular, the platform server 220 may receive a parameter update package from the software silo. An update condition is preset at the platform server 220, and the update condition corresponds to a parameter update package for determining whether the device information satisfies a condition for receiving the parameter update package.

For example, the parameter update package is used for updating the 13.10.0.10 version of the map APP to increase the language supported by the map APP; the updating conditions are as follows: the map APP with the application version number of "13.10.0.10" is updated. Then the device information satisfying the update condition can be understood as: when determining that the application version number of the map APP of the electronic device 300 is "13.10.0.10" according to the device information, the platform server 220 sends the parameter update package to the electronic device 300. The electronic device 300 then performs parameter update on the map APP based on the parameter update package.

In some embodiments, the platform server 220 may store the update condition, parameter update package in the storage server 210.

In the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device 300 may send the device information to the server 200 in various policies. For example, the electronic device 300 may periodically transmit the device information to the server 200 so as to synchronize the device information to the server 200 in real time. For another example, the electronic device 300 may transmit device information to the server 200 each time the network is changed. For example, when the electronic device 300 is reconnected to the base station of the network, the device information of the current time point may be transmitted to the server 200. For another example, the electronic device 300 may transmit device information to the server 200 each time it is powered on. The specific strategy for the electronic device 300 to transmit the device information is not limited in the present application.

In some embodiments, the electronic device 300 may actively receive the parameter update package from the server 200 and update the parameter, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, and the like. In other embodiments, the electronic device 300 may need to update the parameters with other electronic devices. For example, the device accessory may update its parameters via a parameter update package transmitted by the electronic device to which it is connected. The embodiment of the application does not set any limit to the device type and the update mode of the electronic device.

For example, fig. 4 shows a hardware structure diagram of an electronic device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

The different processing units may be independent devices or may be integrated in the same processor.

The controller can be a decision maker for commanding each part of the mobile phone to work coordinately according to instructions, and is a neural center and a command center of the mobile phone. The controller generates an operation control signal according to the instruction operation code and the time sequence signal to complete the control of instruction fetching and instruction execution.

A memory may also be provided in the processor 310 for storing instructions and data. In some embodiments, the memory in the processor 310 is a cache memory. The memory may hold instructions or data that have just been used or recycled by the processor 310. If the processor 310 needs to reuse the instruction or data, it can be called directly from the memory. Avoiding repeated accesses reduces the latency of the processor 310, thereby increasing the efficiency of the system.

The charging management module 340 is used to receive charging input from a charger. The charger may be a wireless charger or a wired charger. In some wired charging embodiments, the charging management module 340 may receive charging input from a wired charger via the USB interface 330. In some wireless charging embodiments, the charging management module 340 may receive a wireless charging input through a wireless charging coil of the electronic device 300. The charging management module 340 may also supply power to the mobile phone through the power management module 341 while charging the battery 342.

The power management module 341 is configured to connect the battery 342, the charging management module 340 and the processor 310. The power management module 341 receives input from the battery 342 and/or the charge management module 340 and provides power to the processor 310, the internal memory 321, the external memory, the display 394, the camera 393, and the wireless communication module 360. The power management module 341 may also be configured to monitor parameters such as battery capacity, battery cycle count, and battery state of health (leakage, impedance). In other embodiments, the power management module 341 may also be disposed in the processor 310. In other embodiments, the power management module 341 and the charging management module 340 may be disposed in the same device.

Different antennas can also be multiplexed to improve the utilization of the antennas. For example: the antenna 1 may be multiplexed as a diversity antenna of a wireless local area network. In other embodiments, the antenna may be used in conjunction with a tuning switch.

The mobile communication module 350 may provide a solution including 2G/3G/4G/5G wireless communication applied to the electronic device 300. The mobile communication module 350 may include at least one filter, a switch, a power amplifier, a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), and the like. The mobile communication module 350 can receive electromagnetic waves from the antenna 1, filter and amplify the received electromagnetic waves, and transmit the electromagnetic waves to the modem for demodulation. The mobile communication module 350 can also amplify the signal modulated by the modem processor, and convert the signal into electromagnetic wave to radiate the electromagnetic wave through the antenna 1. In some embodiments, at least some of the functional modules of the mobile communication module 350 may be provided in the processor 310. In some embodiments, at least some of the functional modules of the mobile communication module 350 may be disposed in the same device as at least some of the modules of the processor 310.

The modem processor may include a modulator and a demodulator. The modulator is used for modulating a low-frequency baseband signal to be transmitted into a medium-high frequency signal. The demodulator is used for demodulating the received electromagnetic wave signal into a low-frequency baseband signal.

The following illustrates the workflow of the software and hardware of the electronic device 300.

The electronic device 300 obtains device information by accessing an APP package name, reading an APP configuration file, or reading a system configuration file, and then sends the device information to the server 200 through the mobile communication module 350 or the wireless communication module 360, where the device information is used to trigger the server 200 to send a parameter update package to the electronic device 300 when an update condition is met. If the device information meets the update condition, the server 200 sends a parameter update package to the corresponding electronic device 300 according to the device identifier in the device information. The electronic device 300 receives the parameter update package from the server 200 through the mobile communication module 350 or the wireless communication module 360, and updates the parameters in the electronic device 300 based on the parameter update package. After that, the electronic device 300 may periodically transmit the latest device information to the server 200 through a timer. Or the electronic device 300 sends the device information each time the network is connected, for example, the electronic device 300 sends a network-presence application request to a base station with which the SIM card is currently registerable through a modem, and connects to a base station of the network when obtaining an allowance command returned by the base station according to the network-presence application request. Then, the electronic device 300 sends the device information at the current time point to the server 200, so as to synchronize the device information to the server 200 in relatively real time, so that the server 200 determines the object of the parameter update package to be sent based on the device information.

The parameter updating method provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to the electronic equipment with the hardware structure and the software structure for realization. Taking an electronic device as an example, the following describes in detail a parameter updating method provided in an embodiment of the present application with reference to the drawings. The method comprises the following steps:

the mobile phone acquires application version information and application registration information.

The mobile phone obtains the application registration information so that the corresponding application can be determined according to the obtained application registration information after the parameter update package is obtained.

In some embodiments, the handset includes an application (or update object) and an update engine application, and the application can register application version information and application registration information with the upgrade engine application. The upgrade engine application is capable of saving application version information as well as application registration information. The application may determine an update catalog of the application by applying the registration information upgrade engine. Then, when the upgrade engine application obtains the parameter update package, the parameter information corresponding to the application may be placed in an update directory determined based on the application registration information, so that the application obtains the parameter information from the update directory.

The mobile phone registers the device information with the server.

Here, the registration may be understood as that the mobile phone sends the device information to the server for the first time. Registration may also be understood as the handset periodically sending device information to the server, e.g., the handset periodically or at each power-up time sending data to the server to update the device information, so that the server synchronizes the device information.

The device information is information related to system settings of the mobile phone. For example, the device information includes at least one of system application version information, device version information, and device model. The system application version information, the device version information and the device model may be original data registered by the mobile phone to the server, or obtained by analyzing the original data sent by the mobile phone by the server.

In some embodiments, the system application version information includes a system application identification and a system version number. For example, the registering of the device information with the server by the mobile phone includes: the handset registers "map APP" and "13.10.0.10" with the server as system application version information 1. Or further comprising: the mobile phone registers "album APP" and "1.1.40001" as system application version information 2 with the server.

In some embodiments, the device version information includes a Serial Number (SN) of the device, and further includes at least one of a device version number and a device version release time. For example, the registering of the device information with the server by the mobile phone includes: the mobile phone registers SN8TF4C0123456789 and Android to the server ^TM 6.0 "and" 2020/11/7 "as device version information 1.

In some embodiments, device models may be divided in processor type, or in display screen type. For example, the registering of the device information with the server by the mobile phone includes: the mobile phone registers the "a system generation" and the "folding screen mobile phone" as the device model 1 with the server, and registers the "B series" and the "folding screen mobile phone" as the device model 2 with the server.

The purpose of registering the device information with the server by the mobile phone is that the server can determine the distribution object of the parameter update package according to the device information. See in particular the description below.

And the server presets an updating condition corresponding to the parameter updating packet.

The update condition may be understood as a distribution rule of the parameter update package. The server embeds the update condition and the corresponding relationship between the update condition and the parameter update package, for example, the corresponding relationship may include that the update condition 1 corresponds to the parameter update package 1, the update condition 2 corresponds to the parameter update package 2, and the update condition 1 and the update condition 3 correspond to the parameter update package 3.

Before the parameter updating package is issued, the server determines the updating condition for issuing the parameter updating package according to the corresponding relation between the parameter updating package and the updating condition. And then the server sends a parameter updating packet to the mobile phone of which the equipment information meets the updating condition. For example, in the case of a parameter update package 1 to be distributed, the server determines that the parameter update package 1 corresponds to the update condition 1, and then the server distributes the parameter update package 1 to the mobile phone whose device information satisfies the update condition 1. In the case of the parameter update package 3 to be issued, the parameter update package 3 corresponds to the update condition 1 and the update condition 3, and then the server issues the parameter update package 3 to the mobile phone whose device information satisfies the update condition 1 and the update condition 3.

The parameter update package includes: at least one of system range parameters, system numerical parameters, system attribute parameters and system switch parameters. The parameter update package may be an update of a parameter threshold, such as a parameter threshold, a white list, a black list, and the like; the parameter update package may also be an update of a logarithmic value, such as a parameter of measurement, electric quantity, volume, etc.; the parameter update package can also be the update of attribute parameters, such as the parameters are levels, attributes and the like; the parameter update package may also be an update to a function switch, such as a parameter being in an on state, an off state, or the like.

The update condition may be preset according to an update object to which the parameter update package is directed, for example, if the parameter update package is used to update a system parameter of a 5G mobile phone, the update condition includes: and issuing a parameter updating packet to the 5G mobile phone. For another example, if the parameter update package is used to repair a display conflict problem of a folding screen mobile phone, the update condition includes: and issuing a parameter updating packet to the folding screen mobile phone.

Several ways for the server to send the parameter update package to the handset are described in detail below.

In some embodiments, the server may periodically send parameter update packages to the handset.

For example, the server stores a device identification (e.g., a serial number of the electronic device when the device is shipped, an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI), a Media Access Control (MAC) address, or an Open Advertising Identifier (OAID)) of the electronic device. And, the server presets a first period. For example, the first period may be 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, etc. Subsequently, after each first period is finished, the server firstly judges whether a parameter updating packet needs to be sent, and if the parameter updating packet needs to be sent, the server sends the parameter updating packet to the mobile phone corresponding to the equipment identifier.

In other embodiments, the server may send a parameter update package to the handset in response to an operator trigger.

For example, in a case that parameters in a mobile phone need to be updated, an operator actively triggers the server to send a parameter update package of a specified version to a specified mobile phone (e.g., a mobile phone corresponding to a specified device identifier). For example, the parameter update package 1 corresponding to version 1 is sent to the mobile phone 1 corresponding to the device identifier 1, and the parameter update package 2 corresponding to version 2 is sent to the mobile phone 2 corresponding to the device identifier 2. Therefore, the server can accurately send the parameter update package of the specified version to the mobile phone selected by the operator, so that different mobile phones can be updated in a differentiated mode.

In other embodiments, the server may send the parameter update package to the handset in response to the first message from the handset.

Specifically, when the parameters in the mobile phone need to be updated, the mobile phone may send a first message to the server, where the first message is used to request a parameter update package. And the server receives and responds to the first message and sends the parameter updating packet to the mobile phone.

For example, when the server needs to send a new version of the parameter update package, an update message may be sent to the mobile phone first to notify that the mobile phone has the currently updated parameters. The update message may be displayed on a screen so that the user selects to update the parameters or not update the parameters. The mobile phone can send a first message to the server in response to the operation of updating the parameters, which is executed by the user, for requesting a parameter updating package.

In addition, the server can also send parameter updating packages to the mobile phones meeting the updating conditions as far as possible in real time, so that the effect of quickly repairing product problems or optimizing product performance can be achieved on the basis of the mobile phones updating the parameters in real time.

For example, the server may determine whether the version of the APP satisfies the update condition according to the system application version information of the mobile phone, and then send a parameter update package for the mobile phone satisfying the update condition. As previously described, the system application version information may be a system version number. Alternatively, the application version information may also be a system application update time. The system application version information is used to determine the current version of the system application in the handset. And if the system application version information meets the updating condition, indicating that the parameter in the APP corresponding to the system application version information needs to be updated. Therefore, the server can send the parameter updating packet to the mobile phone of which the system application version information meets the updating condition so as to update the parameters of the mobile phone in time.

For another example, the server may send a parameter update package for a mobile phone meeting the version requirement according to the device version information of the mobile phone. The device version information may be a device version number: (Such as Android ^TM 6.0 Etc., device version update times (e.g., 2020/11/7), etc. The device version information is used for determining whether the version of the mobile phone meets the updating condition. The server can send a parameter update package to the mobile phone of which the device version information meets the update condition so as to update the parameters of the mobile phone in time.

For another example, the server may send a parameter update package to a mobile phone meeting the model requirement in a targeted manner according to the device model of the mobile phone. The device model is used for distinguishing the type of the mobile phone, for example, the device model can be classified according to the screen type (such as a folding screen mobile phone and a curved screen mobile phone), and can also be classified according to the processor type (such as a first generation system, a second generation system, and a B series system).

The server can send the parameter updating packet to the mobile phone instead of sending the parameter updating packet regularly or manually when the equipment information triggers the updating condition, so that the speed of sending the parameter updating packet by the server is higher, and based on the speed, the mobile phone can update the parameters in real time to improve the efficiency of repairing product problems or optimizing product performance.

It should be noted that the setting of the update condition can automatically and timely update the parameters of the mobile phone as described above on one hand, and can also meet the requirement of gray release of the parameter update package on the other hand. The gray release means that the server sets an update condition to update parameters of a part of mobile phones, so that a part of mobile phones receive the parameter update package, and the other part of mobile phones do not receive the parameter update package. And the mobile phone receiving the parameter updating packet updates the parameters. The server can obtain the opinion feedback of the users of the part of the mobile phones, and if the feedback effect is good, the server sends a parameter updating packet to the other part of the mobile phones. Therefore, the server can enable part of users to participate in the release test of the parameter updating package in a mode of setting the updating condition, so that the interaction with the users is strengthened, and the user range influenced by the parameter updating is reduced, thereby facilitating the smooth online of the parameter updating package.

In some embodiments, the server may send the parameter update package to the handset via the device identifier, such as the device serial number, so that the handset of the specified device identifier can receive the parameter update package, and the processing of the parameter update package by the handset may be specifically described below.

The mobile phone receives the parameter updating packet from the server and updates the parameters based on the parameter updating packet.

As described above, the parameter update package is lighter than the version package, and the release time point is more flexible, so that the mobile phone updates the parameters based on the parameter update package, which not only enables the parameters of the mobile phone to be updated in real time, but also reduces the update time. And in general, when the parameters of the mobile phone are updated independently, equipment does not need to be restarted, so that the efficiency of updating the parameters is higher.

In addition, the parameter update package may contain parameter information for a plurality of update objects. The mobile phone can upgrade parameters of different update objects based on the parameter information of the different update objects in the parameter update package.

For example, the parameter update package may include a first parameter update package, a second parameter update package, and a third parameter update package; the first parameter updating package is used for upgrading parameters of the operating system, the second parameter updating package is used for upgrading parameters of the operating system and the three-party application, and the third parameter updating package is used for upgrading parameters of the first three-party application and the second three-party application.

The mobile phone receives the first parameter updating package, determines an updating object as an operating system by analyzing the first parameter updating package, and carries out parameter upgrading on the operating system based on the parameter information in the first parameter updating package.

The mobile phone can also receive a second parameter update package, determine the update objects as an operating system and a three-party application by analyzing the second parameter update package, and perform parameter upgrade on the operating system and the three-party application by the mobile phone based on the parameter information in the second parameter update package.

The mobile phone can also receive a third parameter update package, determine the update objects as the first-party application and the second-party application by analyzing the third parameter update package, and perform parameter upgrade on the first-party application and the second-party application by the mobile phone based on the parameter information in the third parameter update package.

In an embodiment of the present application, the parameter update package includes parameter information, an update object identifier, an update package identifier, and the like.

The following describes the parameter information, the update object identifier, and the update package identifier in sequence.

In some embodiments, the parameter information is a "new version complete parameter". For example, the parameter information is a replacement for the original parameter of the current version of the application. Illustratively, the original parameters of the current version are shown in table 1, and include nine parameter fields of threshold, white list, black list, metric, power, volume, level, attribute and function switch. Each parameter field corresponds to a parameter value. When the parameter information is a new version of a complete parameter, the original parameters representing the update are all the parameter fields in table 1 and the corresponding parameter values. After the mobile phone downloads the parameter information, the original parameter of the current version is covered by the parameter information, and then the parameter can be updated.

In other embodiments, the parameter information is a "difference data block" where there is a difference between the original parameters of the current version and the full parameters of the new version. With continued reference to table 1, the difference data block may be understood as a parameter field in the full parameter of the new version that has a difference from the original parameter of the current version and a corresponding parameter value. For example, when a parameter field "white list" of the APP is updated, the parameter information includes the parameter field "white list" and corresponding parameter values, such as "unique identifier of album APP". The parameter information only contains the information to be updated, so that the data size of the parameter updating packet is reduced, and the rapid downloading and updating of the parameters are realized.

TABLE 1

It is noted that in the application scenario in table 1 above, the disabled service parameter may control the disabled service or function. For example, when a service or a function is added to the blacklist, the mobile phone cannot use the service or the function, so that the mobile phone cannot be normally used due to the fact that the service or the function is started.

The control application list for the special-shaped screen display refers to an application list which can be controlled to be displayed on the special-shaped screen (such as a watch), for example, if a game application which cannot run on the watch is arranged in the application list, an icon of the game application cannot be displayed on the special-shaped screen of the watch.

The CPU policy configuration may control the operating frequency (or operating level) of the CPU, such as setting to overclock, under frequency, and the like.

The update object identifier is an identity identifier of the update object, wherein the update object includes an operating system, a three-party application, such as the operating system may further include a system application or a configuration file. The update object may be an APP name, APP package name, or other defined character, etc. For example, when the parameter update package is used to update the album APP, the update object identifier may be a package name of the album APP. Or, when the parameter update package updates the system APP, the update object identifier may be a name of the system APP. Or, when the parameter update package is used to update the parameters of the configuration file of the mobile phone, the update object identifier may be a character defined for the configuration file, such as a file name of the configuration file.

When the server sends the parameter information, the server carries the update object identifier, so that the mobile phone determines the APP or the configuration file or the system to be updated based on the update object identifier, then puts the parameter information into a corresponding directory (or called update directory) of the update object, and informs the update object to update the parameter based on the parameter information.

The update package identifier is an identity identifier of the parameter update package, for example, the update package identifier is version information of the parameter update package. When the server sends the parameter updating packet, whether the equipment information of the mobile phone meets the updating condition is determined, and if the equipment information meets the updating condition, the corresponding relation between the updating packet identifier and the equipment identifier of the mobile phone is established. The server may determine the device identifier list of which the parameter needs to be updated by querying the correspondence. And if the equipment identifier list comprises the equipment identifier 1, sending a parameter update package corresponding to the version 1 to the mobile phone 1 corresponding to the equipment identifier 1.

The server can send a plurality of parameter update packages, so that the parameter update packages sent to different mobile phones can be distinguished through the update package identification, parameter update packages of specified versions can be accurately sent to the mobile phones, and differential update is carried out on different mobile phones.

The following describes the updating process after the mobile phone receives the parameter update package with reference to fig. 6. Taking again the example that the parameter update package 1 is sent to the first handset, and the parameter update package 3 is sent to the first handset and the second handset. And the server sends an updating message to the first mobile phone and the second mobile phone, wherein the updating message carries an updating object identifier so as to indicate the mobile phones to update the parameters of the specified updating object. For example, the server transmits the parameter update package 1 and the parameter update package 3 to the first mobile phone, and transmits the parameter update package 3 to the second mobile phone. Wherein, the update object identifier carried by the parameter update package 1 is the package name of the photo album APP; and the update object identifier carried by the parameter update package 3 is the package name of the map APP. The first mobile phone analyzes the parameter updating package 1, and the parameter in the photo album APP is determined to be updated through the updating object identifier in the parameter updating package 1, so that the parameter information in the parameter updating package 1 is put into the updating catalog corresponding to the photo album APP by the first mobile phone. And then, the first mobile phone sends a second message to the photo album APP to indicate the photo album APP to load the parameter information from the update directory. Similarly, the first mobile phone and the second mobile phone also analyze the parameter update package 3, and determine that the parameter in the map APP is updated through the update object identifier in the parameter update package 3. Therefore, the first mobile phone and the second mobile phone respectively put the parameter information in the parameter update package 2 into the update directories corresponding to the map APP. And then sending a second message to the map APP to instruct the map APP to load the parameter information from the update directory.

In some embodiments, the parameter update package is an encrypted file. And after the server acquires the parameter updating packet, encrypting the parameter updating packet, thereby improving the safety of the parameter updating packet. And then the mobile phone receives the parameter updating packet and decrypts the parameter updating packet. And updating the parameters based on the decrypted parameter update package.

For example, the upgrade engine application in the handset may implement decryption and parsing of the parameter update package. And determining which APP (or configuration file, system file) needs to be updated according to the analysis result. Then, the information is notified to the corresponding APP (or configuration file, system file), and the parameter information in the parameter update package is put under the negotiated update directory, so that the update object can obtain the parameter information from the update directory.

In addition, the mobile phone can send the equipment information to the upgrading engine application, and the mobile phone sends the equipment information to the server through the upgrading engine application. For example, the upgrade engine application starts a timer to count time, and after a counting period is finished, the upgrade engine application causes the server to send the latest device information. The refresh timer then restarts the count. Alternatively, the upgrade engine application may send the latest device information to the server when the handset is networked.

To facilitate understanding of the foregoing embodiments, the present application and its effects are described below with reference to a complete system architecture. Fig. 7 is an architecture diagram of another parameter updating system according to an embodiment of the present application.

Referring to fig. 7, the parameter updating system provided in this embodiment includes a software cabin, a configuration management module, a distribution platform, a cloud side (or called cloud server), and a mobile phone. The mobile phone comprises an upgrading engine application.

Wherein the software warehouse is used for storing the parameter updating package. The software silo may be a file storage system and the parameter update package is stored in the software silo in the form of a file.

The configuration management module is used for configuring basic information of the application, such as application information, access point information registered by the application, subtype and the like.

The software warehouse sends the parameter updating package to the publishing platform, and the configuration management module publishes the basic information of the application to the publishing platform. The publishing platform may determine the update condition based on the parameter update package, the underlying information of the application, and the rule parameter. And if the publishing platform determines that the parameter updating package needs to be published, sending the parameter updating package and the updating condition to the cloud side.

The cloud side may store a plurality of parameter update packages, such as a parameter update package 1 corresponding to application a, a parameter update package 2 corresponding to application B, and the like.

If the cloud side sends the parameter update package 1 to the mobile phone, the upgrade engine application in the mobile phone may call a certificate service through a preset Software Development Kit (SDK) to obtain an identity certificate of the mobile phone, so as to analyze the parameter update package 1. The upgrade engine application analyzes the parameter information corresponding to the application a from the parameter update package 1, places the parameter information in the update directory of the application a, and then notifies the application a that the parameters can be updated. After receiving the notification, the application a can obtain the parameter information from the update directory and update the parameter. Similarly, if the cloud side sends the parameter update package 2 to the mobile phone, the upgrade engine application in the mobile phone may put the parameter information in the parameter update package 2 into the update directory of the application B, so that the application B updates the parameter based on the parameter information.

After the application A and the application B are updated, the version information registered by the application A and the application B to the upgrading engine module is changed, and the equipment version information of the mobile phone is not changed, so that the parameter updating package 1 and the parameter updating package 2 sent by the cloud side can be determined to be the updating of the parameters in the mobile phone, and not the integral updating of the version of the mobile phone.

Therefore, the system architecture can decouple the parameter update package and the version package, and realize the version upgrade of the application parameters in a mode of independently releasing the parameter update package.

The following description will take an example in which a parameter update package issued by a server is used to update an operating system.

In some embodiments, the parameter update package (e.g., the first parameter update package) includes a system update parameter, the system update parameter is used to instruct the electronic device to update the switch parameter, and the first update condition includes: the electronic device supports 5G communication. And if the electronic equipment supports 5G communication according to the equipment information, sending a first parameter updating packet to the electronic equipment so that the electronic equipment updates the target switch parameter associated with the communication service in the operating system from an on state to an off state or updates the target switch parameter in the operating system from the off state to the on state based on the system updating parameter in the first parameter updating packet.

Example one:

after a new series of products of the mobile phone are sold for several days, feedback that part of users cannot normally use the 5G data network is received. If the problem can not be solved quickly, the normal use experience of the user on the mobile phone can be influenced.

Through analysis of problem feedback, it is determined that the reason for the phenomenon is that the compatibility problem occurs in the mobile phone chip due to the fact that the BWP (Bandwidth Part) parameter range of the current base station 5G data network is larger than the range supported by the terminal chip. Therefore, modem crash occurs at the terminal, such as no signal of the mobile phone, network disconnection of the mobile phone and the like caused by modem breakdown.

Because the chip needs to be improved, before an improvement scheme for the chip is proposed, the function which can cause modem crawl needs to be closed by closing the switch parameters in the mobile phone which can support 5G, so that the problem that a user cannot normally use a 5G data network is quickly solved.

Therefore, the parameter information for updating the switch parameters can be packaged into a parameter updating packet and issued to the mobile phone capable of supporting 5G through the server. And after receiving the parameter updating packet, the mobile phone analyzes the parameter updating packet and acquires parameter information, and updates the switch parameter from the on state to the off state based on the parameter information.

In this embodiment, the server may update the system parameters of the operating system by sending a parameter update package for updating the operating system to the mobile phone, so as to achieve an effect of repairing the operating system bug in time.

In some embodiments, the parameter update package (e.g., the first parameter update package) includes a system update parameter, the system update parameter is used to instruct the electronic device to set the target system application as a blacklist application, and the first update condition includes: the electronic device is installed with a target system application. If it is determined according to the device information that the first update condition is satisfied, sending a first parameter update package to the electronic device, so that the electronic device updates the operating system based on the system update parameter in the first parameter update package, including: and if the target system application is determined to be installed on the electronic equipment according to the equipment information, sending a first parameter updating packet to the electronic equipment, so that the electronic equipment sets the target system application as a blacklist application based on the system updating parameters in the first parameter updating packet, and the blacklist application is not allowed to run on the target electronic equipment.

Example two:

WeChat ^TM After a certain version of the user is upgraded, when the user is in Wechat ^TM The user is notified of the file management. And when the user wants to delete the file, the file management prompts the user that the file does not exist.

Passing through a WeChat ^TM Analyzing the existing problems and positioning the problems in WeChat ^TM When a file is saved, a temporary file for the file is generated. After the file management monitors the generation of the temporary file, the user is informed that the file is saved. The operating system of the mobile phone can clear the temporary file once every a period of time so as to avoid that the temporary file occupies too much storage space of the mobile phone. It is not clear to the user that the deleted file is a temporary file. Therefore, the user still may execute the operation of deleting the file, and if the temporary file is already cleared before the user executes the deleting operation, the mobile phone will prompt the user that the file is already deleted. In the user's view, the WeChat is used ^TM When receiving the file, the user firstly prompts that the file is saved, and when the user wants to delete the file, the user slightly believes that the file is saved ^TM The user is prompted that the file has been deleted. This results in the user using the WeChat ^TM The experience of transceiving files is poor.

Aiming at the problem, the WeChat can be optimized in time by updating the system parameters ^TM The purpose of the file transceiving function. Specifically, the mobile phone can package the parameter information for deleting the temporary file management function into a parameter update package, and issue the parameter update package to the mobile phone supporting temporary file management through the server, so that the mobile phone issues a blacklist for temporary file management, and the temporary file management is excluded from the file management of the mobile phone. Then the user uses the WeChat ^TM In time, the mobile phone does not save or delete the temporary file through file management. For the user, after the system parameters are updated, a prompt that the file is deleted when the file is deleted by using the WeChat is not received. Therefore, the user experience is better.

In this embodiment, the server may apply the third party application without changing (e.g., weChat) ^TM ) Under the condition of the method, the mobile phone updates the system parameters of the operating system by sending the parameter updating packet for updating the operating system, so that the beneficial effect of better adapting to the three-party application is achieved by optimizing the functions of the operating system in time.

In addition, the parameter update package issued by the server can be used for updating the parameters of the three-party application.

Example three:

refer to fig. 8, which is a schematic display diagram of an album APP before and after parameter update according to an embodiment of the present application. Fig. 8 (a) is a schematic diagram of a cover image of the photo album APP before parameter update, fig. 8 (b) is a schematic diagram of displaying an update message, and fig. 8 (c) is a schematic diagram of a cover image of the photo album APP after parameter update is completed.

The system time of the mobile phone is 11/7/2022, and in fig. 8 (a), the cover image is a photograph taken at 10/1/2022. It can be seen that the acquisition time point of the photograph does not coincide with seven days ago the latest system time. If the date threshold value cannot be updated in time and the recommendation effect of the front cover image is poor, the experience brought to the user by the photo album APP is reduced.

Therefore, the date threshold for displaying the cover image in the album APP is optimized in real time. The server sends an update message to the mobile phone to inform the mobile phone that the parameters are updated currently. As shown in (b) of fig. 8, the update message may be displayed on the screen in a notification manner so that the user selects to update the parameter or not update the parameter. And if the user selects the update parameters, the mobile phone responds to the operation of updating the parameters executed by the user and sends a first message to the server to request a parameter update package. Then the mobile phone receives a parameter update package from the server and updates parameters of the photo album APP, such as a date threshold value. After the update is completed, the acquisition time point of the photos of the cover image displayed in the photo album APP can be within the last seven days of the system time. As shown in fig. 8 (c), the cover image is a photograph taken on day 11, month 2 in 2022. It can be seen that the update of the current date threshold is a parameter update, and just because the current update is not released along with the version update, the parameter update package is lighter than the version package, and the release time point is more flexible.

In the above, it is described by taking an example that the mobile phone updates the parameters of the three-party application, and the parameter update package issued by the server may also be used to update the system parameters of the mobile phone, which is specifically referred to in the following description.

Example four:

fig. 9 is a schematic diagram illustrating a display of a weather APP before and after a system parameter is updated according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 9 (a) is a schematic diagram illustrating display of a weather APP before parameter update, fig. 9 (b) is a schematic diagram illustrating display of an update message, and fig. 9 (c) is a schematic diagram illustrating display of a weather APP after parameter update is completed.

Temperatures are expressed in degrees celsius in area a and in degrees fahrenheit in area B. As shown in fig. 9 (a), when the user moves from the area a to the area B without updating the parameters, the temperature of the weather APP display is still 30 degrees celsius. Therefore, when the change of the position information transmission of the mobile phone from the area A to the area B in the device information of the mobile phone is detected, the server can transmit the parameter updating packet of the updating measurement unit to the mobile phone. As shown in fig. 9 (b), an update message may be displayed on the screen in a notification manner to inform the user that the system parameter may be updated. In response to an operation of updating the parameters, which is performed by the user, the mobile phone sends a first message to the server to request a parameter updating package. Then the mobile phone receives the parameter update package from the server and updates the system parameter 'measurement unit'. After the update is complete, the local air temperature displayed on the weather APP can be expressed in Fahrenheit. As shown in FIG. 9 (c), the weather APP indicates a temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, noted 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Therefore, the measurement (or measurement unit) can be updated in a parameter update package, so that the update efficiency can be improved.

In summary, an embodiment of the present application provides a parameter updating method, in which an electronic device may periodically send device information to a server, so that the server determines whether an update condition is satisfied according to real-time device information. And if the equipment information meets the updating condition, the server sends a parameter updating packet to the electronic equipment, and the parameter updating packet can update the system parameters of the electronic equipment. And the electronic equipment analyzes the parameter information and the update object identification in the parameter update package. The parameter information is stored in an update directory of an update object (e.g., an operating system) corresponding to the update object identification based on the update object identification. So that the update object (e.g., operating system) obtains the parameter information from the update directory. Therefore, the parameter updating package does not need to be released together with the version package, and the requirements of parameter independence and real-time updating can be met. And the parameter updating package does not generally involve updating a driver of the electronic equipment, so that the equipment does not need to be restarted when the parameters of the electronic equipment are updated independently, and the efficiency of updating the parameters is higher.
