The detailed features and embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments, which are sufficient to enable those skilled in the art to readily understand the technical means to which the present invention solves the technical problems. The achievable effect of the invention.

In the following, the system operation of the present invention will be described with reference to the system architecture diagram of the update system for transmitting different files according to the version difference according to the present invention. As shown in "FIG. 1", the system of the present invention includes a client 100 and a server 200. The server 200 includes a storage module 210, a transmission module 220, a determination module 230, and a reading module 250.

The client 100 is responsible for determining whether the update condition is satisfied, and when the update condition is satisfied, transmitting an update request including the use version information to the server. The foregoing update condition is, for example, when the program is started by the client 100, and the system time in the client 100 meets the preset update time, but the invention is not limited thereto, wherein the update time may be set by the user. Or a fixed interval of time.

The above-mentioned usage version information indicates the usage version of the program executed in the client 100, and may be the version number of the program or the date of the previous update, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

The client 100 is also responsible for storing the update file in the directory where the program is stored when receiving the update file transmitted by the server 200 in response to the update request. If the program is stored in the directory, a file name and the client 100 are stored. After receiving the original file with the same file name of the updated file, the client 100 will update the file to overwrite the original file, so as to keep the updated file stored by the client 100 as the correct version.

The client 100 is also responsible for modifying the information according to the content to the original file recorded in the content modification information, adding the data, modifying the original file content and/or deleting the data when receiving the content modification information returned by the server 200. The server 200 does not necessarily need to transmit the update file, and the client 100 can update the original file to the correct version by editing the original file.

The storage module 210 is responsible for storing the last version information. The last version of the information described above is similar to the version information used, and the last version of the program (usually the version released by the developer of the program) is represented by the same information as the version information used, that is, when the version information is used as the program. When the version number/previous update date, the last version information will also be the version number/previous update date of the program.

In general, the storage module 210 is also responsible for storing a file update list and updating files for providing a version update of the client, but the invention is not limited thereto, and the file update list and/or the update file may also be stored in other files. Server (not shown).

The transmission module 220 is responsible for receiving the usage version information transmitted by the client 100, and is responsible for transmitting the update file read by the reading module 250 to the client 100. The transmission module 220 is also responsible for transmitting the content modification information read by the reading module to the client 100.

The determining module 230 is responsible for determining whether the version information received by the transmission module 220 is the same as the last version information stored by the storage module 210.

If the version information and the last version information are used as the version number of the program, when the judging module 230 compares the version number of the version information with the last version, the version number of the last version information is hour, and it is determined that the new version can provide the client 100 update; If the version information and the last version information are used as the update date of the program, when the determination module 230 compares the update date of the use version information with the update date of the last version information, it is determined that the new version can provide the client 100 update. The manner in which the determining module 230 determines whether a new version can provide the client 100 update is not limited to the version number or the last update date of the version information and the last version information.

The reading module 250 is responsible for reading, when the determining module 230 determines that the version information is different from the last version information, if the reading module 250 can read the corresponding version information and also corresponds to the last version information file update list, then the reading module 250 reads The module 250 can read the update file recorded in the file update list according to the file update list.

If there is more than one version of the version information and the last version information, that is, there is at least one intermediate version between the version and the last version, then when the developer of the program provides an update list corresponding to the version information of any two versions, read The module 250 can read the update file corresponding to the version information and the last version information according to the above manner, and when the developer of the program only provides the update list corresponding to the version information of the adjacent version, the reading module 250 There is no way to read the file update list corresponding to the version information and the last version information. Therefore, the reading module 250 needs to first read the first file update list corresponding to the version information and the intermediate version information, and read The first file updates the update file recorded in the list, and then the reading module 250 reads the second file update list corresponding to the intermediate version information and the last version information, and reads the record in the second file update list. Update the file. Similarly, if there are two intermediate versions between the version and the last version, the reading module 250 updates the list according to the list of the version information and the first intermediate version information, and corresponds to the first middle. Version information and a list update list of the second intermediate version information, a list of list updates corresponding to the second intermediate version information and the last version information, and so on.

The reading module 250 is also responsible for transmitting the update file to the client 100 for storage via the transmission module 220 after reading the updated file.

In addition, the reading module 250 is also responsible for reading the content modification information corresponding to the version information and the last version information, and transmitting the same to the client 100 through the transmission module 220 to update the original file. The content modification information corresponding to the version information and the last version information may not exist at the same time as the above, and the reading module 250 needs to modify the information according to the content corresponding to each intermediate version information, and then the content is The information integration is modified and transmitted to the client 100.

Next, an operation system and method of the present invention will be described with reference to an embodiment, and reference is made to the flowchart of the method for transmitting the update method of the dissimilar file according to the version difference according to the "3rd drawing". It is assumed that in this embodiment, the version information and the last version information are used as the version number.

First, the developer of the browser first writes the last version information of the browser "V2.6" into the storage module 210 of the server 200, so that the storage module 210 stores the last version information of the browser (step 301).

Thereafter, when the user executes the browser on the client 100, the executed browser will fork out the program for version update, that is, the browser on the client 100 will be judged at the beginning of execution. The update condition is satisfied (step 310), so the version update program control client 100 transmits an update request including the use version information "V2.0" to the server 200 (step 320). The update condition does not have to be performed at the beginning of the browser, and the browser may determine that the system time in the client 100 meets the preset update time, such as "00:00" or the interval before the update check. The time has reached the scheduled "24 hours" and so on.

After the client 100 transmits an update request including the usage version information to the server 200 (step 320), the transmission module 220 of the server 200 receives the usage version information "V2.0" transmitted by the client 100. The determining module 230 in the server 200 determines whether the version information and the last version information are the same (step 330). The usage version information received by the transmission module 220 is "V2.0" and is stored in the storage module. The last version information in 210 is "V2.6", so the judging module 230 judges that the version information and the last version information are different.

Then, the reading module 250 in the server 200 reads the updated file of the browser using the version information "V2.0" and the last version information "V2.6" (step 350), assuming the version is used. There are two different update files between the information "V2.0" and the last version of the information "V2.6", which are "file1.dat" and "file3.dat" respectively. The reading module 250 first reads the file update list, and the file update list read by the reading module 250 can indicate the file update list and the version information "V2" by using the file name "2-6&2-0". .0" and the last version of the information "V2.6", but the invention is not limited thereto. Other methods include recording the corresponding version information in the file update list or recording the version information and files in the corresponding table manner. Update the correspondence of the list, etc.

If the reading module 250 cannot read the file update list corresponding to the version information "V2.0" and the last version information "V2.6", the reading module 250 sequentially reads the corresponding adjacent version. The file update list, and the update file is read out, wherein the detailed reading process has been previously described, and therefore will not be described again.

After the reading module 250 reads the update file (step 350), the transfer module 220 transmits the update file "file1.dat" and the update file "file3.dat" to the client 100 (step 361), the client Upon receiving the update file "file1.dat" and updating the file "file3.dat", the stored file "file1.dat" and the update file "file3.dat" are stored (step 371). Assuming that the original file with the file name "file1.dat" exists in the client 100, but there is no original file with the file name "file3.dat", the client 100 will overwrite the received update file "file1.dat". The original file "file1.dat" is directly stored in the update file "file3.dat".

In addition, if the reading module 250 further reads the content modification information 300 as shown in the “3rd image” according to the version information “V2.0” and the last version information “V2.6”, the transmission module 220 transmits the content modification information 300 to the client 100 (step 362).

After receiving the content modification information 300 transmitted by the server 200, the client 100 adds the content of the "DemoData=1" to the original file whose file name is "file2.dat" according to the content modification information 300. In the third line, the fifth line is modified to "TestMode=0" and the seventh line is deleted, thereby completing the modification of the original file "file2.dat" corresponding to the content modification information 300 (step 372).

In summary, it can be seen that the difference between the present invention and the prior art is that there is a difference between the read version and the last version when the server judges that the usage version information received from the client is different and the stored last version information is different. The file is updated and sent back to the client, and the technical solution can solve the problem that the update file existing in the prior art needs to download the complete software and needs to be reinstalled, thereby achieving the effect of reducing the download pressure of the server.

While the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the above description is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Any changes or modifications in the form and details of the embodiments of the present invention are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
