Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

For a clearer understanding of the aspects of embodiments of the present application, the following is a brief description of terms that the present application relates to:

display machine: the electronic equipment is used for retail stores, media evaluation and the like and performs function demonstration. Typically, the identification (i.e., vendorCountry) in the system configuration attributes of such electronic devices is displayed as "demo", i.e., prototype.

Searching for a packet: the electronic equipment is provided with an installation package for upgrading the background searching system. Typically, the electronic device is set to periodically initiate an automatic search at the time of shipment, in the form of a system parameter setting, for example, may be set to 1 hour for 1 time. The initiation of the search for packets is performed periodically, independent of the network connection state. After the packet searching is started, under the condition of network connection, a packet searching request is sent to a server through a background, and a packet searching result responding to the packet searching request is received from the server; the search for packets fails without a networked connection. The successful searching of the package means that the wireless network connection is kept between the electronic equipment and the server, and the failure searching of the package means that the electronic equipment is in an unconnected state.

And (3) upgrading a system: the method is that the current system is replaced by the new system, so that the system of the electronic equipment is updated from the current system to the new system with higher version, namely, the current system stored in the memory is updated to become the new system. The system upgrade can repair the bug of the current system or improve the performance of the system, for example, repair the abnormal display of the application program in the system, so that the application program is more perfect and better used.

Super-automatic installation packages (as an example of a first type of installation package): the pointer is to the specialized installation package of a kind of system upgrade of the display machine, download and remind and install and remind in the state of forcing the screen to occupy in the download, installation. The step of carrying out downloading reminding and installation reminding under the condition of forcedly occupying the screen is that only the control on the designated interface can be operated, and other interfaces are either hidden or in a background inoperable state, namely, a screen-up state. As an example, a screen is checked for updates, downloaded, installed, and the interface is overlaid, and the user can be dismissed from the screen only if a control on the interface is operated and meets the corresponding operating requirements.

And (5) checking and updating the display screen to remind: reminding the user to search for the new version in a forced screen occupation mode. Whether the update is successful or not is checked, and whether the packet searching action is completed or not is taken as a judging criterion. The successful searching of the package (whether the new version is found or not, the server considers the successful searching of the package as long as the server normally responds to the searching result), the checking and updating are successful, and the electronic equipment exits the screen to check the updating state; and if the searching of the package fails, the checking and updating failure is indicated, and the electronic equipment continues to display the screen checking and updating page to remind the user of searching the new version.

And (5) downloading and reminding a screen: reminding a user to download the installation package for system upgrade in a mode of forcedly occupying a screen.

And (3) mounting and reminding a screen: reminding a user to install the installation package for system upgrade in a mode of forcedly occupying a screen.

The system upgrading method provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to electronic equipment, in particular to the system upgrading of a display machine such as an agent store. As an example of the electronic device, a display machine is taken, and in normal use, a search package is started periodically. Under the condition that the user does not timely upgrade the system in the appointed time, the electronic equipment reminds the user to carry out networking, downloading and installation in a strong reminding mode.

FIG. 1 illustrates a flow chart of a system upgrade method according to some embodiments. As shown in fig. 1, during normal use, the electronic device may periodically start the search for packets. After the packet searching action is started, firstly, the electronic equipment determines whether the current network connection loading is WLAN connection, searches an installation packet for upgrading through the background under the condition that the current network connection loading is WLAN connection, and waits for the WLAN connection under the condition that the current network connection loading is WLAN connection. And then, as a package searching result, when a new installation package is found, presenting an interface for prompting installation, and when no new installation package exists, normally using the package.

FIG. 2 illustrates a schematic diagram of a system upgrade reminder interface 210, according to some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, that reminds a user of an upgrade when a package search result reveals an installation package for a system upgrade during normal use of the electronic device. As shown in fig. 2, the system upgrade reminding interface 210 includes a reminding message to remind the user whether to update immediately. As a selection provided to the user, an "immediate" button 211 for immediate update and a "later" button 212 for later update are generally provided in the system upgrade reminder interface 210.

When the "immediate" button is activated, the electronic device performs download/installation of the installation package in the background, as shown in fig. 1.

When the "later" button is triggered, as shown in fig. 1, the electronic device confirms/starts the night update, and if the night update is not authorized, the electronic device pops up the system upgrade reminding interface again after a preset time.

However, this upgrade does not allow for the fastest system upgrades, especially for displays, which cannot be timely upgraded to provide the customer with a better user experience. With such an upgrade method, the marketing interface is generally required to upgrade layer by layer, thereby consuming a great deal of manpower and occupying system resources.

For this reason, for example, for a display, a more aggressive upgrade alert mode is required, so as to reduce the following cost and realize faster upgrade. Therefore, the embodiment of the application provides a system upgrading method, electronic equipment and a storage medium, and the system of the electronic equipment is timely upgraded to the latest version, so that the performance of the electronic equipment is improved, the use experience of a user is improved, and the follow-up cost is reduced.

According to the embodiment of the application, in the package searching operation, when the electronic equipment finds the installation package which is the super-automatic installation package (as an example of the first type of installation package) for carrying out system upgrading in a mode of forcedly occupying a screen, the electronic equipment downloads and installs the installation package according to a networking state or directly in the background or presents a screen-over state, and strongly reminds a user of downloading and installing the super-automatic installation package. The user is reminded to download/install in time in a screen-warming mode, so that the upgrading rate can be greatly improved, the follow-up cost is reduced, and meanwhile, the performance of the electronic equipment and the use experience of the user can be improved.

In some embodiments, the audio module 170 may be disposed in the processor 110, or a portion of the functional modules of the audio module 170 may be disposed in the processor 110.

Microphone 170C, also referred to as a "microphone" or "microphone", is used to convert sound signals into electrical signals. When making a call or transmitting voice information, the user can sound near the microphone 170C through the mouth, inputting a sound signal to the microphone 170C. The electronic device 100 may be provided with at least one microphone 170C. In other embodiments, the electronic device 100 may be provided with two microphones 170C, and may implement a noise reduction function in addition to collecting sound signals. In other embodiments, the electronic device 100 may also be provided with three, four, or more microphones 170C to enable collection of sound signals, noise reduction, identification of sound sources, directional recording functions, etc.

In some embodiments, microphone 170C may receive a user's voice, e.g., the user's voice speaks an immediate restart utterance, microphone 170C converts the immediate restart voice signal into an electrical signal to enable processor 110 to effect a restart of electronic device 100, etc., in accordance with the immediate restart instruction.

The pressure sensor 180A is used to sense a pressure signal, and may convert the pressure signal into an electrical signal. In some embodiments, the pressure sensor 180A may be disposed on the display screen 194. The pressure sensor 180A is of various types, such as a resistive pressure sensor, an inductive pressure sensor, a capacitive pressure sensor, and the like. The capacitive pressure sensor may be a capacitive pressure sensor comprising at least two parallel plates with conductive material. The capacitance between the electrodes changes when a force is applied to the pressure sensor 180A. The electronic device 100 determines the strength of the pressure from the change in capacitance. When a touch operation is applied to the display screen 194, the electronic apparatus 100 detects the touch operation intensity according to the pressure sensor 180A. The electronic device 100 may also calculate the location of the touch based on the detection signal of the pressure sensor 180A. In some embodiments, touch operations that act on the same touch location, but at different touch operation strengths, may correspond to different operation instructions. For example: and executing an instruction for checking the short message when the touch operation with the touch operation intensity smaller than the first pressure threshold acts on the short message application icon. And executing an instruction for newly creating the short message when the touch operation with the touch operation intensity being greater than or equal to the first pressure threshold acts on the short message application icon.

In some embodiments, after the user presses and clicks the first type installation package update configuration control/automatic update configuration control displayed in the display screen 194, the pressure sensor 180A is configured to sense a pressure signal of an area where the user updates the configuration control/automatic update configuration control for the first type installation package, and may convert the pressure signal into an electrical signal. Such that the processor 110 may enable determination and recording of the first type of installation package update switch status/automatic update switch status in accordance with a user update configuration control/automatic update configuration control operation for the first type of installation package.

The touch sensor 180K, also referred to as a "touch device". The touch sensor 180K may be disposed on the display screen 194, and the touch sensor 180K and the display screen 194 form a touch screen, which is also called a "touch screen". The touch sensor 180K is for detecting a touch operation acting thereon or thereabout. The touch sensor may communicate the detected touch operation to the application processor to determine the touch event type. Visual output related to touch operations may be provided through the display 194. In other embodiments, the touch sensor 180K may also be disposed on the surface of the electronic device 100 at a different location than the display 194.

In some embodiments, when the user touches the area where the first type installation package update configuration control/automatic update configuration control of the display screen 194 is located, and performs operations such as clicking, dragging, etc., the processor 110 receives an operation of the user for the area where the first type installation package update configuration control/automatic update configuration control is located, and in response to the operation, determines and records the first type installation package update switch state/automatic update switch state.

The software system of the electronic device 100 may employ a layered architecture, an event driven architecture, a microkernel architecture, a microservice architecture, or a cloud architecture. In the embodiment of the application, taking an Android system with a layered architecture as an example, a software structure of the electronic device 100 is illustrated. The application is not limited to the type of the operating system of the electronic device. For example, an Android system, a Linux system, a Windows system, an Ios system, a hong OS system (Harmony Operating System, hong OS), and the like.

Fig. 4 shows a software architecture block diagram of the electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the application.

The layered architecture divides the software into several layers, each with distinct roles and branches. The layers communicate with each other through a software interface. In some embodiments, the Android system is divided into four layers, from top to bottom, an application layer, an application framework layer, an Zhuoyun row (Android run) and system libraries, and a kernel layer, respectively.

The system upgrading method provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to the electronic equipment with the hardware structure shown in the figure 3 and the software structure shown in the figure 4. Or more or less components than illustrated, or some components may be combined, or some components may be separated, or different components may be arranged, or the like in hardware and software configurations.

The system upgrading method provided by the embodiment of the application is described in detail below with reference to the above-mentioned electronic device.

Fig. 5 is a flow chart illustrating a system upgrade method according to an embodiment of the present application, which may be performed by the processor 110 in the electronic device 100. As shown in fig. 5, the system upgrade method may include steps S510-S530.

S510: searching for an installation package for system upgrades.

The electronic device may be set to be started up periodically at the time of shipment through the configuration parameters, and to search for an installation package for system upgrade through the background, for example, 1 hour, 1 time, etc.

That is, the electronic device periodically starts the searching package in the power-on state. Specifically, a packet search request is sent to a server through the background. After receiving the packet searching request, the server responds by sending the packet searching result to the electronic device. After receiving the packet searching result from the server, the electronic device can download, install and restart when a new installation packet exists, so as to complete the system upgrade.

Of course, whether the search can be successfully performed or not, requires reliance on network connections. In a state of no networking, the packet searching action cannot be completed in time through the background.

In some implementations, when the electronic device is in an unclogged state, the electronic device continues to wait for a network connection.

In other embodiments, when the electronic device is in an unconnected state, i.e., the searching of the package is unsuccessful, the electronic device is reminded to perform network setting so as to search the package in time.

The step of searching packets in different states will be described in detail later with reference to specific embodiments.

S520: and determining that the installation package in the package searching result is a super-automatic installation package, wherein the super-automatic installation package is used for carrying out downloading reminding and installation reminding in a state of forcedly occupying a screen in the processing process of downloading and installing the electronic equipment.

That is, in the case where the electronic device determines that there is an installation package in the package search result, it is determined whether the installation package is a super-automatic installation package. If not a super-automatic installation package, but a generic installation package, upgrades may be made based on user selection or in a default manner, such as many electronic devices set to default night upgrades. If the system is a super-automatic installation package, namely an installation package which needs to be updated in time aiming at the display machine, the system is subjected to strong prompt of downloading/installation in the downloading/installation process, namely the downloading prompt and the installation prompt are carried out in a state of forcedly occupying a screen under the condition that the system is not upgraded within the expected time. In other words, this embodiment of the present application classifies the searched installation packages, and for some installation packages, alerts the user in a strong alert manner to download/install at a time; for other installation packages, this is done in a conventional manner, for example, a night download/installation may be initiated automatically, etc.

Regarding how to determine the attribute of the installation package, the electronic device may determine how to download/install by identifying version information, a tag, etc. of the installation package, or may attach a tag to the installation package.

In some embodiments, the means for specifically determining whether there is a super-automatic installation package may be as follows:

the electronic device sends a packet searching request to the server, wherein the packet searching request can contain, for example, a device identifier of the electronic device.

Thereafter, the electronic device receives a packet search result returned by the server in response to the packet search request.

That is, after receiving the packet searching request, the server determines whether the installation packet matched with the electronic device exists or not based on information in the packet searching request, such as current version information and device identification, and sends a packet searching result to the electronic device in response. The search result may include no new installation package, specific version information of the installation package, and the like.

Therefore, the electronic equipment can judge whether a package exists according to the package searching result, and further judge whether the installation package is an installation package which needs to be started up to download/install in the screen-warming state according to the version information under the condition that the package exists.

As an example, when the electronic device sends the packet search request, the packet search request carries the device identifier, that is, "demo" in VendorCountry. After the server receives the package searching request, the identifier identifies the "demo", and then searches the installation package matched with the model of the "demo" in the library, so that the "super-automatic installation package" is found. By reading the version attribute, for example, when the version attribute shows "remote_manager_update", the new installation package is known to be a super-automatic installation package. Here, the version attribute may or may not be displayed on the screen, as long as the electronic device can read and recognize the version attribute.

S530: downloading and installing the super automatic installation package.

In some embodiments, in the case that the installation package is determined to be a super-automatic installation package (i.e. a strong prompt is needed, and downloading/installation is performed in the screen-up state), the screen-up state can be directly entered, and the downloading, installation and restarting processes can be performed in the whole course.

In other embodiments, the method may be configured to prompt the user to download and install in a screen-in-screen manner when the user finds that the downloading and the installation are not completed within a prescribed time, and to release the screen-in-screen state when the user's operation meets the requirements for downloading and installing. Compared with the whole course screen, the configuration mode is more humanized and is beneficial to improving user experience.

In some embodiments, the electronic device may be configured to default to start the installation program immediately after the super automatic installation package is downloaded, and may be further configured to default to restart the electronic device after the installation is completed to complete the system upgrade. That is, as soon as downloading is started, the series of operations of downloading, installing and restarting are automatically completed, and upgrading is completed. In this embodiment, the system can be updated most efficiently and immediately, and the following management cost and the like can be reduced reliably.

In other embodiments, the electronic device may be configured to determine the residual electrical quantity of the electronic device after the super-automatic installation package is downloaded, and immediately initiate the installation procedure when the residual electrical quantity meets the threshold, and display the installation interface on the display screen when the residual electrical quantity is insufficient, thereby prompting immediate charging. Thus, the installation interruption can be avoided, and the completion of the system upgrade can be ensured reliably.

According to the embodiment of the application, in the downloading and installing process of the super-automatic installation package, a downloading interface and an installing interface can be displayed in a screen-in-a-screen mode, a downloading control is displayed on the downloading interface, and when the downloading control is triggered, the downloading operation is executed. In the screen-up state, all other applications and functions are not used, so that a user (salesperson in a store, etc.) using the electronic device must interrupt or temporarily enter other processes and enter a system upgrade process. Thus, the upgrading rate in a short period can be greatly improved.

Next, the step of searching for packets in the system upgrade method according to the present application, that is, the above step S510, will be described in detail with reference to fig. 6 to 7.

As shown in fig. 5, searching for an installation package for a system upgrade may specifically include the steps of:

s511, determining whether the packet searching is successful.

That is, the current WLAN connection state of the electronic device is determined.

And when the packet searching is successful, namely that the network connection state is determined to be the wireless local area network connection, sending a packet searching request to a server by utilizing the wireless local area network, and receiving a packet searching result from the server in response to the packet searching request.

In some embodiments, to avoid system upgrade delays caused by long-term non-networking, non-networking usage is also limited. Namely:

s512, when the packet searching fails, starting timing, and enabling the electronic equipment to enter a temporary use state.

That is, in the event that the network connection status is determined to be non-networked, temporary use of the electronic device is provided for a predetermined period of time. As described above, the temporary use may be limited not only by the time of use, but also by functions, applications, and the like of the electronic device.

In addition, as described above, the electronic device periodically starts the packet searching, and when the previous packet searching fails, but the current packet searching is successful, the timer may be cleared until the next packet searching fails and the timer is reset. Thus, unnecessary reminders can be avoided.

The timing pattern may be determined by day or at predetermined time intervals, and may be appropriately adjusted according to the update frequency of the system upgrade package. Specifically, for example, it is possible to set: if the packet searching is successful once in the day, the timing is not performed again even if the packet searching failure occurs later until the packet searching failure for the first time in the next day is judged whether the timing is needed to be started or not. For example, it may also be provided that: the method comprises the steps of dividing a day into 6 time periods at intervals of 4 hours, wherein each time period is not timed any more as long as the packet searching is successful, and determining whether to start timing or not when the packet searching fails for the first time from the next time period. Of course, the above is merely an example, and the update frequency of the system upgrade package, the search frequency of the electronic device, the upgrade rate required by the system upgrade installation package, and the like may be specifically appropriately adjusted.

S513, it is determined whether the elapsed time from the timing start exceeds a predetermined length of time.

And S514, when the preset time is exceeded, the electronic equipment enters a screen-over state and prompts to check and update.

That is, the electronic device is still not networked for searching packets after a predetermined period of temporary use, which may cause delays in system upgrades if it continues to wait for networking. For this reason, in the system upgrade method according to the embodiment of the present application, a screen inspection update interface (i.e., an instance of the first interface) is provided on the electronic device, and an inspection update control is provided on the screen inspection update interface, so as to trigger a search package, i.e., to search a new installation package for system upgrade from the server.

In the screen-up state, all the controls on the original screen of the electronic equipment are in an inoperable state. Regarding the status of the touch screen, there are two implementations, for example: 1) Full screen display, that is to say, the whole screen of the electronic equipment is covered by the screen-over download interface, and all the controls of the original screen of the electronic equipment are in invisible and inoperable states; 2) Although the screen is not covered in whole, the allowed control floats on the uppermost layer of the screen and can be operated by the control, and all the controls positioned on the lower layer of the control are visible but can not be operated by the touch interface.

S515, judging whether the electronic device checks that the updating is successful.

That is, after the update control is triggered, the check result shows whether the search result is successfully obtained from the server.

When the update is checked to be successful, it means that the search request can be successfully sent to the server and the search result from the server can be successfully received.

S516, when the update is checked to be failed, the network setting is carried out, and the screen is returned to the screen-up state after the network is connected.

The update may be checked to remove the screen and enter the regular periodic search for installation packages.

In order to facilitate the direct network setup in case of failure of the update check, a setup network control may also be provided at the screen-up check update interface to set up the network. In addition, a prompt for setting a network when the inspection and update fails can be displayed on the screen inspection and update interface, so that a user can conveniently know the functions and specific operations of each control.

As shown in fig. 7, wherein (b) shows a screen check update interface 601, on which a check update button 302 and a set network button 301 are displayed, and "check failed time, please set a retry after network" to remind the user how to operate when the check update fails. In addition, the screen check update interface 601 may also provide current system version information and the like.

As shown in fig. 7, when the inspection update button 302 in the screen-up inspection update interface 601 is triggered, the electronic device enters an inspection update state, that is, a new version of inspection update state, and if the electronic device is in a networking state, the electronic device screen displays an inspection interface 603 as shown in (c), at this time, the electronic device is still in the screen-up state. If the network is not connected, i.e. when the update is checked for failure, the electronic device presents an interface 602 as shown in (a), the interface 602 being provided with a set-up network control 303 for the user to set up the network directly. The specific technology of setting up the network may refer to the existing terminal device, for example, surrounding connectable WIFI may be searched and pushed to the user, etc., which will not be described in detail herein.

Regarding checking the updated tyr screen scheme, it may be implemented by adding 1 CCM parameter "ota _demo_flush_disable_delay" to the electronic device. The parameter indicates how long the current version is used offline to pop up the screen check update prompt. Default value-1, indicating that off-line screen-up activation is not enabled; 0 indicates that the screen prompt check update is performed within 1h offline. x represents offline use beyond x days of the screen prompt check update.

In the following, in conjunction with fig. 8-11, details of how to remind the user to perform the system upgrade in time during the downloading and installation process (i.e. corresponding to step S530 described above) will be described. That is, in the case that the new version installation package displayed in the package searching result is determined to be the super-automatic installation package, how to prompt the user to complete downloading and upgrading of the super-automatic installation package in time.

As shown in fig. 8, in some embodiments of the application, the download and installation process includes:

s5301: it is determined whether the electronic device is a router connection.

As for the means for specifically determining whether the network connection is a router connection, it can be recognized by conventional means, for example, by reading a communication device code or the like, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

And under the condition that the electronic equipment is connected by the router, the electronic equipment directly downloads and installs the super-automatic installation package. (i.e., proceed to step S5308)

That is, in the case of router connection, since traffic and the like are not consumed, the electronic device directly enters the program for automatic download and installation through the background. The downloading and the installation are carried out through the background, so that the user is unaware, and the user experience is not affected.

In case the electronic device is in a non-router connection, further authorization of the user is required, because the download involves traffic consumption etc., for which purpose the following steps are entered.

S5302: a screen-in-a-super download interface (i.e., an instance of the second interface) is provided on the electronic device.

Specifically, a download and install control is provided in the tyrant screen download interface, which may be triggered by a download and install button.

In addition, a temporary use control can be provided in the screen-flash download interface, and the temporary use control is used for releasing the screen-flash download interface and providing temporary use for a user of the electronic equipment for a preset time. Specifically, the temporary use control may be triggered by, for example, a download button at a later time.

Fig. 9 (a) shows an exemplary screen download interface 610. Wherein downloading and installing controls may be triggered by a download button 304 and temporarily using controls may be triggered by a later upgrade button 305.

As described above, since the download involves traffic consumption, for this reason, it is considered that there are cases in which: the user is not convenient to immediately transfer the electronic device to the router and does not want to consume traffic, providing the user with an opportunity to download it later, i.e. to use it temporarily.

S5303: when later upgrades are clicked, i.e., the temporary use control is triggered, the electronic device enters temporary use for a predetermined period of time and begins timing.

According to some embodiments, when the temporary use control is triggered, a use time length prompt box is also displayed on the electronic device for prompting the predetermined time length value.

Fig. 9 (b) exemplarily shows a long-time-to-use prompt box 306, and the electronic device starts to time up by clicking confirmation and enters into temporary use.

That is, when the temporary use control is triggered, the electronic device releases the screen-up state, and at the same time, a reminder is displayed on the electronic device to remind the user that the electronic device remains in the current state for a predetermined time. The user can prepare for network connection in advance according to the use condition of the electronic equipment, the network environment condition and the like.

S5304: it is determined whether a preset time period has elapsed since the temporary use control was triggered. And if the preset time period does not elapse, allowing the user to keep the use state and continue using the electronic equipment.

S5305: when a predetermined time is reached, a strong and strong screen download interface (i.e., an instance of a third interface) is provided on the screen of the electronic device, and only download and install controls are provided in the strong and strong screen download interface.

Fig. 9 (c) exemplarily shows a strong-tyrant screen interface 630, in which only a download button 304 is provided in the strong-tyrant screen download interface 630 to trigger the download and install control.

That is, after the temporary use for a predetermined period of time, the user is strongly reminded of the download and installation in a screen-in-a-super manner.

As a specific embodiment of the screen-up scheme for implementing the screen-up download reminder, for example, an upgrade control item ota _demo_always_show_delay may be set for the electronic device: indicating whether the current version requires a screen-up prompt download and allowing a deferred upgrade time. For example, the default value may be set to 72, indicating that 3 days later download is allowed; -1 indicates that the screen prompt download is not enabled; and 0 Ba screen prompts downloading, and delay is not allowed.

Whether the screen download interface or the strong screen download interface is adopted, when the download and installation control is triggered, the following steps are carried out:

s5306: a WLAN connection status of the electronic device is determined.

In fact, the network connection status of the electronic device may not be networked, but may be a hot spot connection, in addition to the router connection mentioned previously. For this purpose, the current WLAN connection state is first determined.

S5307: and displaying a network setting control on the electronic equipment for setting a network to realize WLAN connection when the electronic equipment is in an networking-free network state.

That is, when the judging result shows that the electronic equipment processes the network disconnection state, the user is enabled to conduct network setting through the network control. Specific setting means and the like may refer to the description in the inspection update step before, and a detailed description thereof is omitted here.

S5308: and downloading and installing the electronic equipment through the hot spot when the electronic equipment is in the hot spot connection state.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 10, when the download and installation control in the screen-up download interface 610 shown in (b) is triggered, in the case of hot spot connection, the electronic device shown in (a) releases the screen-up status, enters a download program, and displays the download on the screen to be able to go into background operation, so that the electronic device can be used normally; in the case of no networking, as shown in (c), a settings web interface 650 is presented, i.e., settings web control 303 is displayed on the electronic device.

Here, it should be noted that a download interruption may also occur. The downloading is interrupted, which means that the super-automatic installation package is not completely downloaded, in which case the electronic device can be caused to present the screen-flash downloading interface again for continuing the downloading. In addition, in the case of download interruption, after reconnection, the download can be continued from the breakpoint without re-downloading from the header. The specific implementation means for breakpoint download may be a common means, which is not limited herein.

S5309: judging whether the downloading is finished or not, and if not, continuing to download until the downloading is finished.

S5310: and after the downloading is finished, further judging whether the residual quantity of the electronic equipment meets a threshold value.

As the installation capacity of the system upgrade is larger and larger, the installation process is time-consuming and power-consuming, and if power is lost in the installation process, equipment damage can be caused, so that the system cannot be started. Therefore, whether the residual quantity of the electronic device is enough to be installed and restarted is judged before the electronic device is installed after the downloading is finished, so that unnecessary waiting or time waste is avoided.

When the residual quantity meets the threshold value, the electronic equipment is automatically installed and automatically restarted to realize system updating. Downloading, judging the residual quantity and installing can be performed through background automatic connection, so that a user cannot perceive the residual quantity, and good user experience is achieved.

S5311: and when the residual quantity is judged to be insufficient, the electronic equipment displays a screen mounting interface (namely an example of a fourth interface), and a mounting control is provided in the screen mounting interface so as to mount the super-automatic mounting package.

An example of a panel installation interface 660 is shown in fig. 11 (a), in which panel installation interface 660 an immediate-install button 307 is provided for triggering an install control.

S5312: after the installation control is triggered, a charging prompt box can be further displayed on the electronic device to remind a user to charge. In addition, the electric quantity requirement which needs to be met for installation can be prompted.

As shown in fig. 11 (b), a charge reminder interface 670 is displayed on the electronic device, and a charge reminder box 308 is displayed in the charge reminder interface 670.

After the electronic device is connected to the charging device and the electric quantity meets the installation requirement, the screen state of the screen installation interface can be relieved by clicking the immediate installation button 307, so that the user can use the screen installation interface conveniently.

As shown in fig. 11 (c), the electronic device releases the screen, presents an installation display interface 680, and in the installation display interface 680, the user can be reminded to switch the program to the background operation. Of course, the current installation progress and the like may also be displayed. For example, the current installation progress is displayed in installation display interface 680 as 70% completed.

S5313: and when the electronic equipment is charged to a preset threshold value, the electronic equipment automatically installs and restarts the super-automatic installation package.

According to the description, the user is reminded to download and install in a screen-over mode after the preset time, manual follow-up catalysis is replaced, timely downloading and installation of the system upgrading installation package can be practically achieved, the upgrading rate is improved, and the manual follow-up catalysis cost is reduced.

Fig. 12 and 13 show two specific embodiments of a system upgrade method according to the present application.

In fig. 12, the steps S510, S520, and S530 are respectively corresponding to the 3 dotted boxes from top to bottom.
