The description of the first and second is for the purpose of distinguishing between technical features only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated or implicitly indicating the precedence of the technical features indicated.

In the description of the present application, unless explicitly defined otherwise, terms such as arrangement, installation, connection, etc. should be construed broadly and the specific meaning of the terms in the present application can be reasonably determined by a person skilled in the art in combination with the specific contents of the technical solution.

First, terms related to one or more embodiments of the present invention will be explained:

and (3) a server: the cloud server can be an independent physical server, a server cluster or a distributed system formed by a plurality of physical servers, a cloud server for providing cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks (Content Delivery Network, CDNs), basic cloud computing services such as big data and artificial intelligent platforms, and the like.

Version number naming convention: typically x.y.z [ major version number. Minor version number. Revision number ], the version number increment rule is as follows: (1) major version number: generally, when the software is rewritten in whole or a change which is not backwards compatible occurs, the primary version number is increased by 1, the secondary version is cleared, and the revision number is cleared, for example 1.9.1- >2.0.0. (2) minor version number: when a general function is updated or added, the major version number is unchanged, the minor version number is increased by 1, and the revision number is cleared, for example, 1.5.1- >1.6.0. (3) Revision number when Bug repair is released, the major version number is unchanged, the minor version number is unchanged, and the revision number is increased by 1, for example 1.5.0- >1.5.1.

It should be noted that, with the development of computer technology, higher demands are also put on computer software, such as higher definition of image, high quality audio, CG animation, and the like. This has led to today's computer software becoming larger, perhaps a few or hundreds of megabytes in the past, and now many gigabytes or more under the application of various compression techniques. With the increase of the volume of computer software and the continuous updating and iteration of the computer operating system, a series of problems are brought about: (1) The volume of the software program is large, so that the downloading and updating will of the user is reduced, and the cost of the manufacturer for attracting the user is increased; (2) Because the volume of the software program becomes large, the update maintenance cost of the software program also becomes high; (3) The problem of operation cost is that the operating system environments of users are different, such as the problems of system disk space, system directory authority and the like, so that the software is very likely to be incapable of operating normally; (4) There is a security risk that the complete installation package may be secondarily manufactured to embed illegal programs, and may be maliciously brushed with network traffic to cause a problem of increased cost.

To cope with these problems, there are two main types of current software release update methods: one is to issue a software installation package through a software management platform, and the other is to issue software through a starter mode. However, these methods also have certain drawbacks:

for example, the software management platform enables the downloading and updating of software, such as some software management center, by developing a software management platform or using a third party platform to publish a software installation package. The user can install the software on the software management platform by searching, downloading and executing the installation program, and the installed software is updated by the platform upgrading function. The system is not connected with target software essentially, is actually a software warehouse, and therefore, various problems exist, such as the timely updating of the target software cannot be guaranteed, the target software installation catalog cannot be customized, whether the disk space is enough or not cannot be detected, the safety of the target software installation package cannot be guaranteed, a third-party platform does not have enough autonomy, the research and development cost of an autonomy software management platform is high, and the like;

the software is distributed in a starter mode by self-grinding the starter program, distributing the starter program, installing and operating the starter, so that the downloading and updating of the target software are realized, and the method is common for large programs, especially large games. But currently such triggers are on the market that carry many other functions at the same time, such as activities, bulletins and consultation shows, function settings, account login, social systems, etc. It can be seen that in practice there is a deep binding relationship between these initiator and target software. If there are multiple target software to be released in a mode of using the initiator, multiple similar initiators need to be developed, so that the method cannot be used universally, and the development and maintenance cost is greatly increased.

Therefore, the embodiment of the invention provides a software updating method, which is characterized in that a starter is started, a program version request is sent to a server, so that the server feeds back an information set to the starter after obtaining the program version request, the information set comprises a plurality of first version information, the first version information is used for indicating the program version information of an available application, and the available application is used for indicating a program started and operated by the starter. The method comprises the steps that a program update resource package corresponding to a target program is sent through a server, the target program is updated based on the program update resource package, the target program is used for indicating available application of program reference version information which is newer than program local version information, the target program which needs to be updated is determined through a server feedback information set, and the update of the target program is completed through the server feedback of the program update resource package corresponding to the target program, so that the update of a plurality of available applications through a single starter is realized, the situation that one starter is needed to be installed on each software program for updating the software program is avoided, and meanwhile, a self-research software management platform is not needed for downloading by clients, so that the update cost of software is reduced.

In the present application, a software updating method, an initiator, a server, an electronic device, a computer-readable storage medium are provided, and detailed description is given in the following embodiments.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a processing procedure of a software updating method according to an embodiment of the present invention, where, as shown in fig. 1, after a user starts a starter, the starter sends a program version request to a server, and after the server obtains the program version request sent by the starter, the server sends an information set to the starter, where the information set includes a plurality of first version information, where the first version information indicates program reference version information of an available application, and the available application is a program running through the starter. After the initiator acquires the information set, the first version information in the information set is compared with the program local version information of the available application, so that the available application with the program reference version information being newer than the program local version information is obtained, and the available application is determined to be the target program. The server sends the program update resource package corresponding to the target program to the starter, and after the starter receives the program update resource package corresponding to the target program, the starter updates the target program based on the program update resource package. The target program can be updated only by one starter, a plurality of starters are not required to be arranged, a software management platform is not required to be researched and developed, and the updating cost of the software is reduced.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart of a software updating method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, where the software updating method is applied to a starter, and the starter is communicatively connected to a server, and the software updating method includes, but is not limited to, the following steps S11 and S12:

step S11, after the starter is started, a program version request is sent to the server so that the server feeds back an information set, wherein the information set comprises a plurality of first version information, the first version information is used for indicating program reference version information of available applications, and the available applications are programs started and run through the starter.

Specifically, the initiator is arranged at the client, the initiator sends a program version request to the server, the server receives the program version request, the fed back information set comprises a plurality of first version information, the first version information indicates program reference version information of available applications, the available applications are the program applications which can be started to run through the initiator, and note that the first version information is generated by reading the program reference version information of the available applications and writing the program reference version information into the information set through scanning all files in a catalog of the available applications. It can be appreciated that when the initiator is capable of initiating running of a plurality of available applications, the initiator is correspondingly provided with a plurality of first version information. The program reference version information is information describing the version of the application available in the server, and is generally information about the version to which the application available in the server is desired to be updated, which is issued by the software publisher.

In an actual application scenario, the initiator is installed in the client, and the initiator can be provided with corresponding initiator buttons on a user interface of the client, and can be started by responding to clicking operation of a user on the initiator buttons. Referring to fig. 2, after the initiator is started, a program version request is automatically sent to the server. And after receiving the program version request, the server feeds back the information set. The number of the first version information in the information set is the same as the number of the available applications, namely, each available application has the corresponding first version information. Since it is then necessary to determine whether an update to the available application is required by comparing the program reference version information with the program local version information, the information set fed back to the initiator must have the first version information of all available applications. ,

for example, the initiator may be communicatively coupled to the server by accessing the CDN (Content Delivery Network content delivery network). It is assumed that the initiator is capable of initiating and executing the available application a, the available application B and the available application C, that is, the information set fed back by the server includes three pieces of first version information, namely program reference version information 7.1.10 of the available application a, program reference version information 10.3.90 of the available application B and program reference version information 8.0.41 of the available application C. If the publisher replaces 7.1.21 the program reference version information of the a-available application in the server, the program reference version information of the B-available application and the program reference version information of the C-available application are unchanged. The information set fed back by the server at this time includes program reference version information 7.1.21 of the available application a, program reference version information 10.3.90 of the available application b and program reference version information 8.0.41 of the available application C. That is, regardless of the variation of the program reference version information, the set of information fed back by the server each time includes the program reference version information of all available applications.

In summary, the program reference version information corresponding to the available application is obtained through the information set fed back by the server, and a basis is provided for comparing the program reference version information with the program local version information of the available application in the follow-up process and determining whether the available application needs to be updated. Meanwhile, each software application program is correspondingly provided with a starter before, so that each starter is required to be judged every time when judging whether the application program needs to be updated or not, and the time and the labor are consumed. The program reference version information of all available applications is stored in the server, and the corresponding program reference version information of each available application can be known only by the feedback information set, so that the available applications need to be updated at one time.

In a specific embodiment provided in the present application, the information set further includes initiator reference version information, where the initiator reference version information is version information of an initiator recorded by a server, and after sending a version request to the server, the method specifically includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:

acquiring starter reference version information from an information set;

when the local version information of the starter is inconsistent with the reference version information of the starter, a starter resource package request is sent to a server, so that the server feeds back a starter update resource package;

and acquiring a starter update resource package from the server, and updating the starter based on the starter update resource package.

Specifically, the information set fed back to the initiator by the server further includes initiator reference version information, which is version information recorded in the server, and is generally information of a version to which the publisher wants the initiator to update, because the initiator itself may need to be updated in addition to the situation that the available application will be updated.

In an actual application scenario, referring to fig. 2, after the initiator starts, the initiator automatically sends a program version request to the server, the server feeds back information set to the initiator, the information set includes initiator reference version information, the initiator compares the initiator reference version information with initiator local version information, when the initiator local version information is inconsistent with the initiator reference version information, the initiator sends an initiator resource package request to the server, the initiator needs to update, the server responds to the initiator resource package request, and feeds back an initiator update resource package to the initiator, and the initiator updates the initiator based on the initiator update resource package.

For example, referring to fig. 2, the initiator includes initiator local version information, which is 2.3.10, after the initiator sends a program version request to the server, the server feeds back initiator reference version information to the initiator, where the initiator reference version information is 3.4.20, and according to a version number naming rule, it can be seen that the initiator reference version information is different from the initiator local version information, and meanwhile, the initiator reference version information is newer than the initiator local version information, so that the initiator needs to be updated, and the initiator sends an initiator resource package request to the server, so that the server feeds back an initiator update resource package to the initiator, and the initiator updates the initiator according to the initiator update resource package.

In conclusion, the self-updating flow of the starter is realized, and the cost of the traditional manual processing is saved. Meanwhile, as long as the local version information of the starter is different from the reference version information of the starter, the update is automatically triggered, so that the starter is ensured to be updated in time, and the problems that available programs cannot be driven due to the fact that the starter is not updated in time are effectively avoided. It will be appreciated that in an actual production process, the iteration cycle frequency of the initiator and the target program may be different, and thus it may occur that only the initiator is updated, only the available applications are updated, or both are updated, or neither are updated, as determined by the actual situation.

In one embodiment provided in the present application, when the local version information of the initiator and the reference version information of the initiator are inconsistent, a request for an initiator resource package is sent to the server, which specifically includes, but is not limited to, the following steps:

sending a starter resource package request to a server, wherein the resource package request comprises a starter target position, so that the server acquires updated file information in starter reference version information according to the starter target position, and acquires file information to be updated in starter local version information according to the starter target position; the server replaces the file information to be updated in the local version information of the starter by the updated file information to obtain a starter update resource package.

Specifically, the initiator includes a lot of file information, but when the initiator is updated, not all the file information in the initiator needs to be updated, and sometimes the initiator reference version information may only modify part of the file information compared with the initiator local version information, and at this time, if all the data construction resource packages in the initiator reference version information are reacquired, excessive resources are consumed. Therefore, the position information of inconsistent file information is obtained as the target position of the initiator by comparing the initiator reference version information with the initiator local version information, then the file information corresponding to the target position of the initiator in the initiator reference version information is replaced to the file information corresponding to the target position of the initiator in the initiator local version information, and then the initiator local version information with the replaced differential file information is used as the initiator update resource package. The method comprises the steps of firstly positioning the position of the file information with the difference, and then updating only the differentiated part in the local version information, so that the update resource package of the starter can be reconstructed by using a small amount of resources.

Furthermore, not all the file information in the target program needs to be updated, and sometimes the program reference version information of the target program may only be modified by part of the file information compared with the program local version information, and if all the data in the program reference version information is re-acquired as a resource package, excessive resources are consumed. Therefore, the position information of inconsistent file information is obtained as the program target position by comparing the program reference version information of the target program with the program local version information, then the file information corresponding to the program target position in the program reference version information of the target program is replaced to the file information corresponding to the program target position in the program local version information, and then the program local version information with the inconsistent file information replaced is used as the program update resource package of the target program. The method realizes that the program update resource package can be reconstructed by using a small amount of resources.

In a specific embodiment provided in the present application, a public key is set in the initiator, the public key is matched with a private key in the server, and after the initiator is started, a program version request is sent to the server, which specifically includes but is not limited to the following steps:

Specifically, the information set includes a plurality of first version information and starter reference version information, if information security protection is not performed, the information may be intercepted by other people, so that information leakage is caused, and information security of a user is threatened. Thus, a public key is set in the initiator, a private key is set in the server, and the two are matched with each other. The information set generation method specifically comprises the following steps: scanning all files under the catalog of the starter, and writing starter reference version information of the read starter into the information set; and scanning all files under the catalog of the available application, and writing the program reference version information of the available application into the information set. And finally, the server is required to carry out encryption signature on the information set by using a private key, the starter can request to acquire the information set in the server through the CDN, after the starter acquires the CDN, the starter adopts a preset encryption and decryption algorithm to decrypt and check the information set according to a public key negotiated with the server, and when the decryption and check are successful, the server for transmitting the information set is the server negotiating with the starter instead of other third party platforms, so that the safety of the information set source is ensured, and meanwhile, as the information set is encrypted and signed, the information set is prevented from being tampered or impersonated by other people, and the safety of the content of the information set is ensured.

For example, the preset encryption and decryption algorithm may be an RSA signature encryption and decryption algorithm.

In a specific embodiment provided in the present application, a preset decompression algorithm is set in the initiator, the decompression algorithm is matched with a preset compression algorithm in the server, a program update resource package corresponding to a target program is obtained from the server, and the target program is updated based on the program update resource package, which specifically includes but is not limited to the following steps:

decompressing the program update resource package through a decompression algorithm;

and after decompression is successful, acquiring a program update resource package, and updating the target program according to the program update resource package.

Specifically, the relevant file information of each available application is written into the program update resource package, because the program update resource package involves a lot of data, in order to facilitate the transmission of information and the downloading of the client, the server uses a preset compression algorithm to compress and copy each file in the program update resource package one by one under a designated directory and keep the directory and the directory structure of the available application completely the same, wherein the designated directory is named by the version number of the program reference version information of the available application. The customization of the update catalog of the available application is realized, so that after the initiator downloads the program update resource package, the initiator can directly download the program update resource package to the appointed catalog without manually reclassifying the files in the program update resource package and manually moving the files to the corresponding installation catalog. The updating efficiency of the software is improved.

For example, the preset compression algorithm and decompression algorithm are matched, and a Gzip DEFLATE compression algorithm and a Gzip DEFLATE decompression algorithm can be adopted. The relevant files of each available application are compressed and copied one by one under a specified directory B by using a Gzip DEFLATE compression algorithm, and the directory is kept identical to the directory structure of the available application, wherein the specified directory B is named by the version number of the program reference version information of the available application.

Furthermore, a preset decompression algorithm for updating the resource package aiming at the starter is arranged in the starter, and the decompression algorithm is matched with a preset compression algorithm for updating the resource package aiming at the starter in the server. It can be appreciated that the decompression algorithm and the compression algorithm of the initiator-oriented update resource package may be the same as or different from the decompression algorithm and the compression algorithm of the program-oriented update resource package, and illustratively, the compression algorithm and the decompression algorithm of the initiator-oriented update resource package may also adopt a Gzip DEFLATE compression algorithm and a Gzip DEFLATE decompression algorithm. The server compresses the update resource package of the starter through a compression algorithm, sends the update resource package of the starter to the starter, and decompresses the update resource package of the starter through a decompression algorithm after the starter receives the update resource package of the starter. If decompression is successful, it is indicated that the initiator receiving the initiator update resource packet and the server transmitting the initiator update resource packet are legal, so that the safety of the receiving source and the transmitting source is ensured, meanwhile, the initiator update resource packet compressed by the compression algorithm can only decompress normal data by the matched decompression algorithm, if the unmatched decompression algorithm is used for decompression by strong force, the initiator update resource packet may be damaged, messy codes and the like are caused, and the safety of data transmission is ensured. In addition, the related files of the initiator can be compressed and copied to the appointed catalogue by utilizing a compression algorithm, so that the path positions where the related data files of the initiator are placed do not need to be acquired one by one when the initiator is updated later, and the updating efficiency of the initiator is improved.

For example, the related files of the initiator are compressed and copied one by one under a designated directory A by using a Gzip DEFLATE algorithm, and the directory is kept identical to the initiator directory structure, wherein the designated directory A is named by a version number in initiator reference version information of the initiator, and after the initiator reference version information for updating is determined, the designated directory A can be conveniently and quickly located. Because the related files of the initiator are required to be placed on the corresponding paths when the initiator is updated, the designated directory A is kept to be the same as the initiator directory structure, so that the whole initiator can be updated by directly referring to the paths of the designated directory A when the initiator is updated, and the path of the file is not required to be found. The update efficiency of the starter is improved.

In conclusion, the compression algorithm is used for compressing the file, the size of the downloaded file is reduced, and network traffic is saved. And the risk that the whole compressed large files are maliciously downloaded and brushed with the network flow is reduced. The same directory structure is maintained, and a mapping relation is formed remotely and locally, so that program logic processing in the updating process is facilitated.

Step S12, a program update resource package corresponding to the target program is obtained from the server, and the target program is updated based on the program update resource package, wherein the target program is an available application with program reference version information being newer than program local version information.

Specifically, since there may be an available application that does not need to be updated, in this case, in order to improve the accuracy of the update and thus reduce the cost of the update, the server acquires, as a target program, an available application that transmits program reference version information that is newer than program local version information, and only needs to transmit a program update resource package of the target program to the initiator, which updates the target program.

It is noted that after the initiator receives the information set fed back by the server, the local version information of the available application is compared with the program reference version information of the available application in the information set, when the program reference version information is newer than the local version information of the program, the available application is used as a target program, a program resource package request is sent to the server, the program update resource package carries the target program, and the server obtains the target program according to the program resource package request, so that the program update resource package of the target program is obtained and fed back to the initiator.

In an actual application scene, the downloading and updating of the software are usually realized by developing a software management platform or using a third party platform, but the target software cannot be updated in time, and enough update autonomy is lacked, so that a user needs to wait for logging in the software management platform or the third party platform to update the software. To avoid this situation, so that the software can be updated in time, as long as the initiator is started, the initiator will send a program version request to the server, so that the server feeds back the information set, that is, the version update may not keep up with the interval of the initiator start, and there is a situation that the program reference version information of the available application in the server is the same as the program local version information. Obviously, if the server does not pay attention to whether the program reference version information is the same as the program local version information, each available application corresponding program update resource package is directly fed back to the initiator, or a lot of resources are wasted, and the update cost is increased. In view of the fact that the available applications with the same program reference version information and the same program local version information are not necessary to update, after the server feeds back the information set to the starter, the starter needs to acquire the available applications with different program reference version information and the different program local version information; in addition, the update is usually to replace the old version with the new version, so as to repair the defect problem in the old version, but there may be some unsafe situations, for example, the publisher may missend the old version to the server, or the server is attacked, so that the program reference version information in the server is older than the program local version information, at this time, if the server feeds back the information set to the initiator, the initiator directly uses the available application with the program reference version information different from the program local version information as the target program, then the available application with the program reference version information older than the program local version information may be mistakenly used as the target program, and then the server sends a program update resource packet corresponding to the target program to the initiator, and the initiator updates the target program based on the program update resource packet, so that the target program is updated to the old version, which gives the user bad use experience. In order to avoid this, the initiator needs to further select an available application whose program reference version information is newer than the program local version information as a target program on the basis of acquiring an available application whose program reference version information is different from the program local version information, and then send a program resource package request to the server, so that the server packages the program update resource of the target program to the initiator, and the initiator updates the target program based on the program update resource package of the target program. The target program is guaranteed to be updated to the updated version every time.

For example, referring to fig. 2, the initiator can initiate execution of an a-available application, a B-available application, and a C-available application, program reference version information 7.1.10 of the a-available application, program reference version information 10.3.90 of the B-available application, and program reference version information 8.0.41 of the C-available application in the server. And program local version information of the a available application 7.1.10, program local version information of the b available application 10.3.89, program local version information of the C available application 8.0.42. According to the version naming rule, the program local version information of the A available application is the same as the program reference version information, the program reference version information of the B available application is newer than the program local version information, and the program reference version information of the C available application is older than the program local version information, so that the B available application is used as a target program, a server feeds back a program update resource package of the target program, namely, the program update resource package of the B available application to a starter, and the starter updates the B available application based on the program update resource package of the B available application.

In addition, after the starter is started, a program version request is sent to the server, the server feeds back the information set, and in the process of acquiring the program local version information of the available application and comparing the program local version information with the program reference version information in the information set, the situation that the available application cannot acquire the program local version information possibly occurs, and at the moment, the available application is considered not to be installed, so that the program local version information does not exist, at the moment, the available application is also taken as a target program, and a program update resource package corresponding to the target program is acquired, so that the installation and release of the target program are realized.

In summary, the target program to be updated is accurately obtained by comparing the version information of the program local version information with the version information of the program reference version information, so that the increase of update cost caused by the waste of resources is avoided.

In addition, referring to fig. 1, the embodiment of the present invention further provides a software updating method, which is applied to a server, where the server is in communication connection with an initiator, and the software updating method includes, but is not limited to, steps S21 and S22:
