Description

Router upgrading method and device, router and readable storage medium

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of terminal technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for upgrading a router, and a readable storage medium.

Background

With the rapid development of terminal technology, routers are increasingly being widely used, such as in people's work and life. In order to be able to bring better experience to the user, routers need to be continuously upgraded.

In the related art, an automatic upgrade mechanism is generally set in a router, and the router selects to automatically upgrade the router at night through the automatic upgrade mechanism. However, in one possible scenario, a user may download a key file or the like using a smart device (e.g., a mobile phone) connected to the router at night, and if the router is being upgraded, the smart device using the network may not be able to connect to the network normally due to a large amount of network traffic during the upgrade.

Disclosure of Invention

The application provides a router upgrading method, a router upgrading device, a router and a readable storage medium, which can avoid the problem that intelligent equipment cannot be normally connected with a network due to router upgrading as far as possible. The technical scheme is as follows:

in a first aspect, a method for upgrading a router is provided, where the method includes:

if the upgrading judging time of the router is reached, identifying the category of each intelligent device connected with the router, wherein the category comprises Internet of things devices or non-Internet of things devices;

Determining a target instantaneous throughput of each of the at least one non-internet of things device under the condition that the intelligent devices comprise the at least one non-internet of things device according to the identification result;

and if the target instantaneous throughput of each non-internet of things device is smaller than the throughput threshold, executing the upgrading operation of the router.

Therefore, the router is updated under the condition that the user is determined not to use the non-internet of things equipment, so that the problem of service interruption caused by the router updating is avoided. In addition, by identifying the category of the intelligent equipment, the router is updated only when the non-internet of things equipment with strong user attributes does not perform service, otherwise, the router is not updated, and the actual requirements of the user can be better met.

As an example of the application, in a case where it is determined that at least one non-internet of things device is included in the respective intelligent devices according to the result of the identification, determining the target instantaneous throughput of each of the at least one non-internet of things device includes:

and under the condition that the intelligent devices comprise the at least one non-internet of things device according to the identification result, determining the average instantaneous throughput of each non-internet of things device in the first time period, wherein the target instantaneous throughput of each non-internet of things device is the average instantaneous throughput of each non-internet of things device in the first time period.

In this way, since the user may use the non-internet of things device to perform the service for a short period of time or may continue for a long period of time, the validity and rationality of the subsequent comparison may be ensured by determining the average instantaneous throughput of each non-internet of things device in the first period of time as the target instantaneous throughput.

As an example of the application, in a case that it is determined that the at least one non-internet of things device is included in the respective intelligent devices according to the result of the identification, determining an average instantaneous throughput of each non-internet of things device in the first time period includes:

under the condition that the intelligent devices comprise the at least one non-internet of things device according to the identification result, acquiring the instantaneous throughput of each non-internet of things device every second time period within the first time period, wherein the second time period is smaller than the first time period;

after the first duration passes, determining an average value of the acquired instantaneous throughput of each non-internet-of-things device, wherein the average value is the average instantaneous throughput of the corresponding non-internet-of-things device in the first duration.

In this way, statistics is performed once every second time period, and after the first time period, the average instantaneous throughput of each non-internet of things device in the first time period can be determined according to the data of multiple statistics, so that the finally obtained result is distributed uniformly in time, and the accuracy of the average instantaneous throughput can be improved.

As an example of the application, when it is determined that the respective intelligent devices include at least one non-internet of things device according to the result of the identification, the determining further includes, after determining the target instantaneous throughput of each of the at least one non-internet of things device:

if the non-internet of things equipment with the target instantaneous throughput being greater than or equal to the throughput threshold exists in the at least one non-internet of things equipment, waiting for the next upgrading judgment time of the router;

and returning to the operation of identifying the category of each intelligent device connected with the router under the condition that the next upgrading judging time is reached.

Therefore, under the condition that the user is determined not to upgrade when using the non-internet of things equipment, the user waits for the next upgrade judgment time, so that on one hand, the problem of service interruption caused by the upgrade of the router can be avoided, and on the other hand, the method can be convenient for continuously judging whether the subsequent upgrade operation can be executed or not so as to avoid terminating the upgrade of the router.

As an example of the present application, before the identifying the category of each intelligent device connected to the router if the upgrade determination opportunity of the router is reached, the method further includes:

And under the condition that the upgrade file packet of the router exists and the current time reaches a specified time point, determining upgrade judging time reaching the router, wherein the version of the upgrade file packet is higher than the version of the file packet currently corresponding to the router.

As one example of the present application, the specified time point is generally selected as a time point when most users do not use non-internet of things devices, and in one example, the specified time point may be a certain time point at night, such as the specified time point refers to 24:00 at night.

Therefore, most users do not use intelligent equipment such as a computer and a mobile phone at night, so that whether the intelligent equipment is to be updated or not is selected at night, the judging effectiveness is improved, the router can be prevented from frequently judging, and the running power consumption of the router is reduced. In addition, the problem that the user is inconvenient because the user temporarily needs to use the network but the router enters the upgrading stage can be avoided, for example, if the router determines that the router can upgrade and enter the upgrading process in the daytime, the user temporarily needs to use the computer to download files, the computer cannot be connected with the network, and therefore inconvenience is brought to the user.

As an example of the present application, if the upgrade determination opportunity of the router is reached, identifying the category of each intelligent device connected to the router includes:

for any one of the intelligent devices, if the device information exists in the any one intelligent device and the device information of the any one intelligent device belongs to a device information set, determining that the any one intelligent device is a non-internet of things device, wherein the device information set comprises the device information of the non-internet of things device;

if the equipment information does not exist in any one of the intelligent equipment, or the equipment information exists in any one of the intelligent equipment and the equipment information of any one of the intelligent equipment does not belong to the equipment information set, determining that any one of the intelligent equipment is not a non-internet of things equipment.

Therefore, whether the equipment information of each intelligent equipment belongs to the equipment information set or not is determined, and the category identification is carried out on each intelligent equipment, and the identification result can be enabled to meet the actual requirements of users because the equipment information set can be preset.

In a second aspect, an upgrade apparatus of a router is provided, where the apparatus has a function of implementing the method behavior of the router in the first aspect. The apparatus includes at least one module comprising:

The identification module is used for identifying the category of each intelligent device connected with the router if the upgrading judging time of the router is reached, wherein the category comprises the Internet of things device or the non-Internet of things device;

a determining module, configured to determine a target instantaneous throughput of each of the at least one non-internet of things device if it is determined that the at least one non-internet of things device is included in the respective intelligent devices according to the result of the identifying;

and the upgrading module is used for executing the upgrading operation of the router if the target instantaneous throughput of each non-internet of things device is smaller than the throughput threshold value.

As an example of the present application, the determining module is configured to:

As an example of the present application, the determining module is further configured to:

It will be appreciated by those of skill in the art that the words "first," "second," and the like do not limit the amount and order of execution, and that the words "first," "second," and the like do not necessarily differ.

Reference in the specification to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" or the like means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in one or more embodiments of the application. Thus, appearances of the phrases "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," and the like in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, but mean "one or more but not all embodiments" unless expressly specified otherwise. The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and variations thereof mean "including but not limited to," unless expressly specified otherwise.

With the rapid development of terminal technology, routers have gradually become network centers in many scenes such as home, office, leisure, etc., and in order not to affect the normal connection of intelligent devices to the network, the routers generally need to keep running for a long time. If the router is upgraded in the use process of the user, the phenomenon of restarting the upgrade can occur, so that the service is interrupted, and the user experience is further affected. For example, if the router is restarted during the game playing or video watching process of the user using the mobile phone, the mobile phone is disconnected from the Wireless-Fidelity (Wifi) connection, so that the user cannot continue playing the game or watching television. In another possible scenario, if the router is restarted during the process of continuously downloading the large file by the user through the computer, the computer is disconnected from the Wifi connection, so that the downloading is suspended, and the user experience is affected.

Therefore, the router upgrading method can intelligently select the upgrading time of the router, and the problem that service interruption is caused by upgrading and restarting in the using process of a user is avoided as much as possible. For a specific implementation, reference may be made to the following embodiments.

Before explaining the router upgrading method provided in the embodiment of the present application in detail, the execution body related to the embodiment of the present application is first briefly described. By way of example and not limitation, the method provided by the embodiments of the present application may be performed by a router, i.e., a router to be upgraded, which may be, for example and without limitation, a home router, typically connected to, but not limited to, a smart device such as a mobile phone, a tablet, a notebook, a desktop, a smart refrigerator, a television, a smart washer, a smart speaker, a camera, a smart switch, a smart curtain, a smart rice cooker, a smart watch, and the like.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a router according to an exemplary embodiment, where the router may include at least one processor 101, a communication bus 102, a memory 103, at least one communication interface 104, and a communication module 105.

The processor 101 may be a microprocessor (including a central processing unit (central processing unit, CPU), etc.), an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or may be one or more integrated circuits for controlling the execution of programs in accordance with aspects of the present application.

Communication bus 102 may include a path for transferring information between components.

The memory 103 may be, but is not limited to, a read-Only memory (ROM), a random-access memory (random access memory, RAM), an electrically erasable programmable read-Only memory (EEPROM), an optical disk (including a CD-ROM, compact disc read-Only memory), a compact disk, a laser disk, a digital versatile disk, a blu-ray disk, etc.), a magnetic disk storage medium, or other magnetic storage device, or any other medium capable of carrying or storing desired program code in the form of instructions or data structures and capable of being accessed by a router. The memory 103 may be stand-alone and may be coupled to the processor 101 via the communication bus 102. Memory 103 may also be integrated with processor 101.

The communication interface 105 uses any transceiver-like device for communicating with other devices.

In a particular implementation, as one embodiment, processor 101 may include one or more CPUs, such as CPU0 and CPU1 shown in FIG. 1.

The communication module 105 is configured to process communication traffic, such as forwarding communication data sent by other intelligent devices.

In a particular implementation, as one embodiment, a router may include multiple processors, such as processor 101 and processor 205 shown in FIG. 1. Each of these processors may be a single-core processor or a multi-core processor. A processor herein may refer to one or more devices, circuits, and/or processing cores for processing data (e.g., program instructions).

Wherein the memory 103 is used for storing program code 106 for executing the present application, and the processor 101 is used for executing the program code 106 stored in the memory 103. The router may implement the router upgrade method provided by the embodiment of fig. 6 below, by means of a processor 101 and program code 106 in memory 103.

After the execution body of the embodiment of the present application is introduced, the application scenario related to the embodiment of the present application is briefly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. By way of example and not limitation, the following several possible application scenarios may be specifically included:

referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario, which includes a router 21, and an automatic upgrade mechanism is disposed in the router 21, so that the router 21 has an automatic upgrade function according to the automatic upgrade mechanism. In addition, the application scene also includes a television 22, a smart speaker 23 (e.g. small scale) ^TM ) Electronic whiteboard 24, camera 25, computer 26, mobile phone 27, etc.

In one example, router 21 prepares to upgrade at 24:00 in the night through an automatic upgrade mechanism. In one possible scenario, during this time, the television 22 is in the off state, the smart speaker 23 is in the off state, and the electronic whiteboard 24 is in the off state. The camera 25, the mobile phone 27 and the computer 26 are connected to the router 21, and the camera 25 periodically synchronizes data to the cloud, and the user does not use the mobile phone 27, but is always watching the video using the computer 26 during this time, as shown in fig. 2, the computer 26 is playing the video. Since the computer 26 is using the network, the router 21 is not updated, so that the user is not affected to watch the video on the computer 26, i.e. the phenomenon of video interruption is not caused.

In another example, router 21 prepares to upgrade at 24:00 in the night through an automatic upgrade mechanism. In one possible scenario, as shown in fig. 3, during which the television 22 is in the off state, the smartphones 23 are in the on state, the electronic whiteboard 24 is in the off state, and the computer 26 is in the off state. The smart speaker 23, the camera 25 and the mobile phone 27 are connected to the router 21, and the camera 25 synchronizes data to the cloud end at intervals, so that the user does not use the mobile phone 27. In this case, the router 21 performs the upgrade operation, i.e. the router 21 performs the upgrade operation, for example, from 24:05, although both the smart speakers 23 and the cameras 25 are using the network.

In another example, router 21 prepares to upgrade at 24:00 in the night through an automatic upgrade mechanism. In one possible scenario, as shown in fig. 4, during which the smart speaker 23 is in the off state, the electronic whiteboard 24 is in the off state, and the computer 26 is in the off state. The camera 25, the television 22 and the mobile phone 27 are all connected to the router 21, the camera 25 synchronizes data to the cloud end at intervals, the user does not use the mobile phone 27, and the television 22 is in an on state, that is, the user is watching television. In this case, since the television 22 is playing video, the router 21 does not perform the upgrade operation, so that the user is not affected to watch video on the television 22, i.e., a phenomenon that the television 22 cannot be connected to the network does not occur.

In another example, router 21 prepares to upgrade at 24:00 in the night through an automatic upgrade mechanism. In one possible scenario, as shown in fig. 5, during which the television 22 is in the off state, the smartphones 23 are in the off state, the electronic whiteboard 24 is in the off state, and the computer 26 is in the off state. The camera 25 and the mobile phone 27 are both connected to the router 21, and the camera 25 synchronizes data to the cloud end at intervals, so that the user can surf the internet by using the mobile phone 27. In this case, since the cellular phone 27 is in service, the router 21 does not perform the upgrade operation.

Next, a detailed description will be given of a router upgrade method provided in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a method for upgrading a router according to an exemplary embodiment, which is applied to the router by way of example and not limitation. The method may include some or all of the following:

step 601: and waiting for the upgrading judging time of the router.

The upgrade determination timing refers to timing for determining whether to perform router upgrade.

That is, the router waits for its own upgrade determination timing. In one possible embodiment, the specific implementation of determining whether the upgrade determination opportunity is reached may include: and under the condition that the upgrade file packet of the router exists and the current time is at a specified time point, determining the upgrade judging time reaching the router. The version of the upgrade file package is Yu Lu, which corresponds to the version of the file package currently.

In one example, if the router has not advanced before that, the current corresponding filer of the router is generally referred to as the downloaded filer of the router, or the initial filer corresponding to the router. In another example, if the router has been upgraded before, the current corresponding package of the router refers to a package used by the router for last upgrade, for example, the upgrade package includes an upgrade file and configuration data required for the upgrade of the router. In general, the higher the version of the filer, the better the performance of its corresponding router.

In one example, the upgrade package may be obtained by the router from a designated server. For example, the router may periodically send version query requests to the designated server. After receiving the version inquiry request, the appointed server inquires whether a new version of upgrade file packet exists, and if so, the appointed server sends the upgrade file packet to the router. Of course, if not, the designated server may send a notification to the router indicating that no new version exists. As one possible implementation, the designated server is a server for managing routers.

In another example, the upgrade package may be sent by the terminal to the router. For example, the terminal may send an upgrade instruction to the router, where the upgrade instruction carries an upgrade file packet, and the upgrade instruction is used to instruct the router to perform an upgrade based on the upgrade file packet. Specifically, the terminal may be provided with router management software, and the user may trigger the terminal to send the upgrade instruction to the router in the router management software. After receiving the upgrade instruction, the router can analyze the upgrade instruction, thereby obtaining the upgrade file packet.

The designated time point can be set according to actual requirements. The specified point in time is typically selected as a point in time when most users do not use non-internet of things devices, and in one example, the specified point in time may be a certain point in time at night, such as the specified point in time being 24:00 at night.

If the upgrade file package exists, the new version exists, or the performance of the router can be upgraded, in which case if the designated time point is reached, the upgrade determination timing can be determined. For example, assuming that the current version of the router is 1, in the case where there is an upgrade package (version 2), if 24:00 of night is reached, the router determines that an upgrade determination timing is reached, that is, a timing at which it is determined whether further determination is necessary to perform an upgrade operation is reached.

It is worth mentioning that, because most users do not use intelligent devices such as computers and mobile phones at night, whether to upgrade is selected at night, so that the effectiveness of judgment is improved, frequent judgment of a router can be avoided, and the running power consumption of the router is reduced. In addition, the problem that the user is inconvenient because the user temporarily needs to use the network but the router enters the upgrading stage can be avoided, for example, if the router determines that the router can upgrade and enter the upgrading process in the daytime, the user temporarily needs to use the computer to download files, the computer cannot be connected with the network, and therefore inconvenience is brought to the user.

In another possible implementation manner, the specific implementation of determining whether the upgrade determination opportunity is reached may include: and under the condition that the upgrade file packet of the router exists and the current time period is reached, determining the upgrade judging time for reaching the router.

The duration of one time period can be set according to actual requirements. Such as a time period of 1 hour. That is, in the case where there is an upgrade package of the router, the upgrade determination timing to reach the router may be determined every hour.

If the upgrade determination timing of the router is reached, it is further determined whether to perform the upgrade operation, and for this reason, the router proceeds to step 602 as follows; otherwise, if the upgrade judging time of the router is not reached, the time for judging whether to execute the upgrade operation is not reached, and in this case, the router continues to wait for the arrival of the upgrade judging time.

Step 602: the class of each smart device connected to the router is identified.

As one example of the present application, the respective smart devices connected to the router may include, but are not limited to, at least one of a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, a printer, a smart light, a smart washing machine, a smart refrigerator, a smart sound box, a smart curtain, a smart watch.

The categories of intelligent devices include internet of things devices or non-internet of things devices.

The non-internet of things device generally refers to an intelligent device that needs to perform a large amount of data interaction and/or man-machine interaction. In other words, the non-internet of things device generally refers to a device with a strong personal attribute, generally refers to a device that a user is currently operating and is performing a network service based on the user's operation, or refers to a device that is performing data interaction with other terminals. By way of example and not limitation, non-internet of things devices may include, but are not limited to, devices of the terminal class such as cell phones, televisions, tablet computers, notebook computers, desktop computers, electronic books, learning machines, projectors, and printers.

The internet of things equipment generally refers to things embedded with devices such as software, sensors, processors, memories and the like. In other words, the internet of things device generally refers to a device with weak personal properties, and generally refers to a device with little or no unmanned interaction. By way of example and not limitation, the internet of things devices may include, but are not limited to, smart home-like devices such as smart lights, smart curtains, and may also include smart wearable devices such as smart glasses, smart bracelets, and the like.

It should be noted that, the above-mentioned internet of things device is only an example, but it does not mean that all devices of the smart home class and the smart wearable device belong to the internet of things device, that is, some devices of the smart home class and the smart wearable device may be determined as non-internet of things devices. For example, in one embodiment, the smart watch may be generally determined to be a non-internet of things device as it may be used to interact with other terminals, download data from a network, and so on.

To determine whether an upgrade operation can be currently performed, the router identifies the type of each smart device currently connected to itself. As one example of the present application, a specific implementation of identifying the type of each smart device connected to the router may include: for any one of the intelligent devices, if the device information exists in any one of the intelligent devices and the device information of any one of the intelligent devices belongs to the device information set, determining that any one of the intelligent devices is a non-internet of things device. If the equipment information does not exist in any one of the intelligent equipment, or the equipment information exists in any one of the intelligent equipment and the equipment information of any one of the intelligent equipment does not belong to the equipment information set, determining that any one of the intelligent equipment is not the equipment of the non-Internet of things.

The device information may be used to uniquely identify a smart device. By way of example and not limitation, the device information may be a model number of the smart device, or the smart information may further include a model number, a name, and the like of the smart device.

The device information set includes device information of a non-internet of things device. The set of device information may be set according to actual requirements, for example, it may be set by a technician in a router. The set of device information may be pre-stored in a database of the router.

It should be noted that, as the router is updated, the device information set may also be updated continuously, for example, the device information included therein may be increased or decreased.

In addition, the device information included in the device information set may also exist in a list form, or may also exist in an array form, which is not limited in particular in the embodiment of the present application.

In one embodiment, when each intelligent device accesses the router, the device information of the intelligent device can be reported to the router, so that the router can store the device information of each intelligent device accessing the network in the database. When the category of each intelligent device needs to be judged, the router can acquire the device information of each intelligent device from the database of the router, so that the category of each intelligent device of the access router is determined according to the device information of each intelligent device. Because the device information set includes the device information of the non-internet of things device, for any intelligent device, if the device information of the intelligent device belongs to the device information set, it can be determined that the intelligent device belongs to the non-internet of things device; if the device information of the intelligent device does not belong to the device information set, namely does not belong to the non-internet of things device; and if the intelligent device does not report the device information, the intelligent device is also determined to be a non-internet of things device.

For example, assume that the device information set includes mobile, television, computer, tablet, smartWatch, where mobile represents a mobile phone, television represents a television, computer represents a computer, tablet represents a tablet computer, smartWatch represents a smart watch. When the device information of a certain smart device connected to the router is mobile, it may be determined that the smart device is a non-internet of things device. When the device information of a certain intelligent device connected with the router is a lamp, it may be determined that the intelligent device is not a non-internet of things device. When device information of a certain intelligent device connected with the router is empty, that is, does not exist, it can be determined that the intelligent device is not a non-internet of things device.

It is worth mentioning that whether the device information of each intelligent device belongs to the device information set is determined, and category identification is performed on each intelligent device, and the device information set can be preset, so that the identification result can meet the actual requirements of users.

As an example of the present application, after the category of each smart device is determined this time, a category identifier of each smart device may be stored in a database, where the category identifier is used to uniquely determine the category of the smart device. Therefore, if the category of each intelligent device needs to be judged again later, the category can be determined directly based on the recorded category identification, namely judgment is not needed according to the device information set, and repeated judgment can be avoided.

Step 603: and judging whether each intelligent device comprises at least one non-internet of things device according to the identification result.

Since the router recognizes the category of each intelligent device connected to itself, it is possible to determine whether or not a non-internet of things device exists in each intelligent device connected to itself according to the result of recognition. If it is determined that each intelligent device includes at least one non-internet of things device according to the identification result, the following step 604 is entered. Otherwise, if it is determined that the non-internet of things devices do not exist in the intelligent devices according to the identification result, the following step 608 is entered.

Step 604: a target instantaneous throughput of each of the at least one non-internet of things device is determined.

The instantaneous throughput of a non-internet of things device refers to the rate at which the non-internet of things device receives data sent by a router between instants.

In one example, a router may invoke an interface of a router core to collect instantaneous throughput of each non-internet of things device in the router core, see in particular the related art.

As one example of the present application, determining a specific implementation of the target instantaneous throughput for each of the at least one non-internet of things device may include: and determining the average instantaneous throughput of each non-internet of things device in the first time period, wherein the target instantaneous throughput of each non-internet of things device is the average instantaneous throughput of each non-internet of things device in the first time period.

The first duration may be set according to actual requirements. Illustratively, the first duration may be 5 minutes.

That is, the router may determine an average instantaneous throughput of each non-internet of things device over the first time period, and determine the average instantaneous throughput of each non-internet of things device over the first time period as a target instantaneous throughput of each non-internet of things device. For example, assuming that the at least one non-internet of things device includes a mobile phone and a computer, the router may determine an average instantaneous throughput of the mobile phone within 5 minutes and an average instantaneous throughput of the computer within 5 minutes, to obtain a target instantaneous throughput of the mobile phone and a target instantaneous throughput of the computer, respectively.

It is worth mentioning that, since the user may use the non-internet of things device to perform the service for a short period of time or may also last for a long period of time, the validity and rationality of the subsequent comparison may be ensured by determining the average instantaneous throughput of each non-internet of things device in the first period of time as the target instantaneous throughput.

As one example of the present application, a specific implementation of determining an average instantaneous throughput of each non-internet of things device over a first time period may include: and acquiring the instantaneous throughput of each non-Internet of things device every second time within the first time, wherein the second time is smaller than the first time. After the first time period passes, determining an average value of the acquired instantaneous throughput of each non-internet-of-things device, wherein the average value is the average instantaneous throughput of the corresponding non-internet-of-things device in the first time period.

The second time period can be set according to actual requirements. By way of example and not limitation, the first time period is an integer multiple of the second time period. Illustratively, the first duration is 5 minutes and the second duration is 10 seconds.

That is, the instantaneous throughput of each non-internet of things device is counted every second time period during the first time period, so that the number of times, such as 30 times, can be counted, and the first time period has elapsed. And the router determines the average value of the instantaneous throughput of each non-internet of things device according to the data counted by the plurality of times, so that the average instantaneous throughput in the first time period is obtained. Illustratively, the first duration is 5 minutes, the first duration is 10 seconds, and the at least one non-internet of things device includes a mobile phone and a computer. The router acquires the instantaneous throughput of the mobile phone and the instantaneous throughput of the computer every 10s, and continuously acquires 30 times, namely when the statistical time length is 5 minutes, the router determines the average instantaneous throughput of the mobile phone according to the instantaneous throughput of the mobile phone counted for 30 times, and the target instantaneous throughput of the mobile phone is obtained; and the router determines the average instantaneous throughput of the computer according to the calculated 30 times of instantaneous throughput of the computer, and obtains the target instantaneous throughput of the computer.

It should be noted that if a certain non-internet of things device in the at least one non-internet of things device is disconnected within the first period of time, statistics may not be performed on the disconnected non-internet of things device within the first period of time. For example, if the mobile phone disconnects from the router within 1 minute, which means that the mobile phone only performs service interaction in a short time, and then disconnects the network (such as power-off), the instantaneous throughput of the mobile phone can not be counted within 5 minutes. Further, if each of the at least one non-internet of things device is disconnected from the router within the first duration, then step 608 follows.

Step 605: and judging whether non-Internet of things equipment with target instantaneous throughput greater than or equal to a throughput threshold exists in the at least one non-Internet of things equipment.

The throughput threshold may be set according to actual requirements.

If there is no non-internet of things device in the at least one non-internet of things device having a target instantaneous throughput greater than or equal to the throughput threshold, then step 608 is entered as follows. Otherwise, if there is a non-internet of things device in the at least one non-internet of things device having a target instantaneous throughput greater than or equal to the throughput threshold, then step 606 is entered as follows.

Step 606: waiting for the next upgrade judgment occasion of the router.

If at least one non-internet of things device has the internet of things device with the target instantaneous throughput greater than or equal to the throughput threshold, the fact that the non-internet of things device is currently in service interaction with the network is indicated, and if the router is updated, the service of the non-internet of things device in use with the network is interrupted, so that adverse effects are caused to users. For example, if the television is playing video using a network, if the router is upgraded at this time, the user will not be able to continue watching the television. For this reason, the router does not perform the upgrade, but waits for the next upgrade determination timing.

Step 607: in the case where it is determined that the next upgrade determination timing is reached, the process returns to step 602.

In one example, when a preset time period has elapsed, a next upgrade determination opportunity to reach the router is determined. For example, if the preset duration is 2 hours, after 2 hours, it is determined that the next upgrade determination timing is reached, that is, when 02:00 is reached, it is determined that the next upgrade determination timing is reached. Or the preset duration may also be 24 hours, etc.

In another example, when the specified point in time is reached again, the next upgrade determination opportunity to reach the router is determined. For example, if the upgrade determination timing is determined to be reached when 24:00 of the night is reached again, that is, the upgrade determination timing is determined to be reached every time 24:00 of the night is reached.

In another example, when the upgrade instruction is received again, it is determined that the next upgrade determination opportunity is reached. For the implementation manner, when it is determined that the router is not currently upgraded, an upgrade failure notification can be sent to the terminal sending the upgrade instruction, so that a user can know that the upgrade is not completed, and the user can send the upgrade instruction to the router through the terminal at a proper time.

It will be understood that when the update determination timing of the router is reached again, the router recognizes again the category of each smart device connected to the router, that is, returns to step 602, so as to determine again whether or not the update is possible according to the above-described procedure.

It should be noted that, if the router has not successfully upgraded after the preset number of upgrade determination occasions, the router may directly perform the upgrade operation, for example, if there is an upgrade file packet, the router may forcedly upgrade after more than N days, so as to avoid the router from influencing the network performance due to long-time non-upgrade. The preset value can be set according to actual requirements, and it is easy to understand that N is related to the preset value.

It should be noted that, if there is a new intelligent device that is accessed to the router in the above procedure, the router may also perform class identification on the new intelligent device that is accessed. If the device is determined to be a non-internet of things device, determining target instantaneous throughput of the intelligent device, and then determining whether to execute upgrading operation according to the target instantaneous throughput of the intelligent device. Or if there is an intelligent device newly accessed into the router and the intelligent device is a non-internet of things device, the router may not perform the upgrade operation in order to avoid affecting the service of the intelligent device because the user is likely to perform service interaction through the intelligent device in this case.

Step 608: and performing upgrading operation of the router.

Under a possible condition, if the intelligent devices connected with the router do not include non-internet-of-things devices, for example, the intelligent devices connected with the router are all internet-of-things devices, and the internet-of-things devices are intelligent devices with low network use requirements in households, such as intelligent lamps and intelligent switches, the router can directly execute upgrading operation, so that the problem that the router cannot be upgraded due to the fact that the internet-of-things devices are connected with the network can be avoided.

Under another possible condition, under the condition that the non-internet of things devices are included in each intelligent device connected with the router, if the target instantaneous throughput of at least one non-internet of things device is not greater than or equal to the throughput threshold, that is, the target instantaneous throughput of each non-internet of things device in the at least one non-internet of things device is smaller than the throughput threshold, it is indicated that no non-internet of things device is currently using the network to download data or watch videos, live broadcast and the like, that is, no non-internet of things device is performing service interaction, and at the moment, no service interruption and other phenomena exist, that is, no problem affecting the user exists, if the network connection is disconnected, therefore, the router performs upgrading operation so that the router can be updated in time, and better network service can be brought to the user.

In a further possible case, where non-internet of things devices are included in each of the intelligent devices connected to the router, if each of the at least one non-internet of things device is disconnected for a first period of time in determining the target instantaneous throughput, it is indicated that each of the non-internet of things devices has interacted with a human being or data with other devices only for a short period of time, and then the user does not use the device, i.e. the non-internet of things device has no business interaction, e.g. the user may download a document using a computer at a certain point in time, and then turn off the computer. In this case, the router may perform an upgrade operation to avoid missing an upgrade.

As one example of the present application, during an upgrade, a router may perform an upgrade operation based on an upgrade file package.

In the embodiment of the present application, if the upgrade determination opportunity of the router is reached, the category of each intelligent device connected with the router is identified, so as to determine whether a non-internet of things device access router exists currently. And if the fact that at least one non-internet of things device is connected to the router is determined according to the identification result, determining target instantaneous throughput of each non-internet of things device in the at least one non-internet of things device. If the target instantaneous throughput of each non-internet of things device is smaller than the throughput threshold, the fact that each non-internet of things device does not perform man-machine interaction or does not perform data interaction with other devices at present can be understood that each non-internet of things device does not perform service, and upgrading operation of the router can be performed at the moment. Therefore, the router can be updated under the condition that the user is determined not to use the non-internet of things equipment, so that the problem of service interruption caused by the updating of the router is avoided.

Based on the foregoing description, please refer to fig. 7, the embodiments of the present application mainly relate to the following steps: 1. the router detects the new version. 2. It is detected whether the user is using a non-internet of things device. If the user is using the non-internet of things device, the following step 3 is entered, otherwise, if the user is not using the non-internet of things device, the following step 4 is entered. 3. And (3) not upgrading, and after a period of time, re-detecting whether the user is using the non-Internet of things device. 4. And (5) performing router upgrade. It should be noted that, if the type identification is not performed on each intelligent device connected to the router, but only if there is an intelligent device with an instantaneous throughput greater than a threshold value in the intelligent devices connected to the router, the router is not upgraded, and in one possible case, the router may not be upgraded all the time due to the large instantaneous throughput of the camera during data synchronization, but the data synchronization operation of the actual camera is not a service that is needed immediately by the user. In another possible case, if the mobile phone is performing a service such as web page brushing, the router may perform an upgrade operation due to an excessive threshold value, so that the mobile phone cannot be used for surfing the internet, but surfing the internet with the mobile phone is usually a service that is needed immediately. Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, the router is updated only when the non-internet of things equipment with strong user attribute does not perform service through the category identification of the intelligent equipment, otherwise, the router is not updated, and the actual requirements of the user can be better met.
