On the vehicles of the same fleet, it is used to provide real-time auxiliary information (such as road conditions, weather and other announcement information, etc.) to the drivers of these vehicles. However, it should be understood that the specific implementation of the electronic devices 13 is not limited to this embodiment, and the application of this embodiment is not limited to the foregoing examples.

Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 at the same time, the following exemplarily describes in detail how the auxiliary system 1 of the present embodiment implements a data updating method.

First, in step S11, the servo unit 11 generates a target data. More specifically, in this embodiment, the target data is, for example, used for each of the electronic devices 13 to execute an update processing program corresponding to the target data, and the update processing program is, for example, used to update each One or more of the firmware, operating system, application programs and other data stored in the electronic device 13, in other words, the target data, for example, at least includes the update content to be stored in each electronic device 13, but does not This is the limit.

After the servo unit 11 generates the target data, the flow proceeds to step S12.

In step S12, the servo unit 11 selects, for example, one of the main device data from the device data, and the electronic device 13 corresponding to the main device data is, for example, used as the one used to communicate with the servo unit in this embodiment. 11 A main electronic device 13m (shown in FIG. 3 ) that is electrically connected, and the other electronic devices 13 corresponding to the other device data other than the main device data, for example, are respectively used as the multi-device in this embodiment. A slave electronic device 13s (shown in FIG. 3 ). In other words, the servo unit 11 determines the main electronic device 13m and the subordinate electronic devices 13s according to the device data in step S12. And, after determining the main electronic device 13m and the subordinate electronic devices 13s, the servo unit 11 then sorts and groups the subordinate electronic devices 13s according to the device data, for example, to generate a pair of corresponding target data And the data transmission rules related to the main electronic device 13m and the subordinate electronic devices 13s.

More specifically, in this embodiment, the data transmission rule indicates, for example, a plurality of sequential device groups, and each slave electronic device 13s belongs to one of these device groups, that is, is Included in one of these device groups. For the convenience of description, it is assumed that the number of these device groups in this embodiment is three, and for example, they are a first device group G1 shown in FIG. A second device group G2 after G1, and a third device group G3 after the second device group G2, but not limited thereto.

Further, the data transmission rule, for example, also indicates which subordinate electronic devices 13s each device group includes, and indicates one of the key subordinate electronic devices 13s among the subordinate electronic devices 13s in each device group ' (shown in Figure 3). Moreover, for the convenience of description, the three key slave electronic devices 13s' belonging to the first device group G1 to the third device group G3 respectively are used as a first key slave shown in FIG. 3 . The electronic device 13A, a second key subordinate electronic device 13B, and a third key subordinate electronic device 13C.

It is worth noting that the number of the slave electronic devices 13s included in the device groups respectively decreases according to the order of the device groups. More specifically, in this embodiment, the number of the slave electronic devices 13s included in the device groups is, for example, decremented proportionally with the order of the device groups at a predetermined decrement rate, And the preset decrement rate is, for example, implemented as 50% in this embodiment, that is, except for the first device group with the highest priority, the number of slave electronic devices 13s in each other device group For example, it is about half of the previous device group. However, in other embodiments, the preset decrement rate can also be implemented as any other percentage, which is not limited to this embodiment.

It should be added that the total number of the device groups and the total number of the subordinate electronic devices 13s in each device group can be decremented by the servo unit 11 according to the total number of the electronic devices 13 and the preset. determined by the rate. On the other hand, which piece of device data the servo unit 11 will select as the main device data may be, for example, pre-set. On the other hand, the way of sorting and grouping the slave electronic devices 13s by the servo unit 11 may be, for example, firstly sorting according to the identification numbers corresponding to the slave electronic devices 13s, and then according to the sorting result and each device group The number of subordinate electronic devices to be included in the group is used for grouping, and the servo unit 11 may, for example, set the subordinate electronic device 13s with the highest priority in each device group as the key subordinate electronic device 13s' of the device group, But not limited to this. It should be understood that the manner in which the servo unit 11 selects the main device data, sorts and groups the subordinate electronic devices 13s, and selects the key subordinate electronic devices 13s' of each device group is not the technical focus of this patent specification , so we will not go into details here.

After the servo unit 11 selects the main device data and generates the data transmission rule, the process proceeds to step S13.

In step S13, the server unit 11 transmits the target data and the data transmission rule to the main electronic device 13m corresponding to the main device data. Next, the flow proceeds to step S14.

In step S14, after the main electronic device 13m receives the target data and the data transmission rule from the servo unit 11, the main electronic device 13m automatically executes the update processing procedure, for example, according to the target data, thereby Complete its own update. In addition, in this embodiment, after the main electronic device 13m completes the execution of the update processing procedure, for example, the data transmission rule and the target data are then sent to the first key slave of the first device group G1. electronic device 13A, and The target data is transmitted to every other subordinate electronic device 13s in the first device group G1 except the first key subordinate electronic device 13A. Next, the flow proceeds to step S15.

In step S15, after each of the slave electronic devices 13s including the first key slave electronic device 13A in the first device group G1 receives the target data from the master electronic device 13m, the first key slave electronic device 13m Each of the slave electronic devices 13s of the device group G1 automatically executes the update processing procedure according to the target data, thereby completing its own update. In addition, in this embodiment, after the first key slave electronic device 13A completes the execution of the update processing procedure, for example, the data transmission rule and the target data are then sent to the second device group G2 of the second device group G2. Two key subordinate electronic devices 13B, and transmit the target data to every other subordinate electronic device 13s in the second device group G2 except the second key subordinate electronic device 13B. Next, the flow proceeds to step S16.

In step S16, after each of the subordinate electronic devices 13s including the second key subordinate electronic device 13B in the second device group G2 receives the target data from the first key subordinate electronic device 13A, Each of the slave electronic devices 13s of the second device group G2 automatically executes the update processing procedure according to the target data, thereby completing its own update. In addition, in this embodiment, after the second key slave electronic device 13B completes the execution of the update processing procedure, for example, the target data is then sent to the third device group G3 including the third key slave electronic device Each slave electronic device 13s including 13C. Next, the flow proceeds to step S17.

In step S17, after each of the subordinate electronic devices 13s including the third key subordinate electronic device 13C in the third device group G3 receives the target data from the second key subordinate electronic device 13B, Each of the slave electronic devices 13s of the third device group G3 automatically executes the update processing procedure according to the target data, thereby completing its own update.

It should be added that, in this embodiment, for every other subordinate electronic device 13s in each device group except the key subordinate electronic device 13s', when the subordinate electronic device 13s completes the execution of the update processing program , for example, a single-device update completion notification corresponding to itself is sent to the key slave electronic device 13s' in the same device group. In addition, when the key slave electronic device 13s' of the device group has completed the execution of the update processing procedure, and has also received the stand-alone update completion notifications from all the slave electronic devices 13s of the same device group, the key slave electronic device 13s' The slave electronic device 13s', for example, transmits a group update completion notification of a corresponding device group to the slave unit 11 through the master electronic device 13m, so that the slave unit 11 can update the relevant device according to the group update completion notification The device data for the group. And, when the servo unit 11 receives the group update completion notification from all the key slave electronic devices 13s', the data update method of this embodiment ends.

The above is an example description of how the auxiliary system 1 of the present embodiment implements the data updating method. By implementing the data update method, the servo of the auxiliary system 1 The unit 11 only needs to transmit the target data to the electronic devices 13 in a part of the user device unit 12 (in this embodiment, all the subordinate electronic devices 13s of the first device group G1 ), and then the user device 12 can use the All the electronic devices 13 of the user device unit 12 complete the update processing procedure according to the target data, so that even if the number of the electronic devices 13 is large and all need to be updated in a short time, the server will not be excessively occupied The network traffic of the unit 11 may burden the operation of the servo unit 11 . Moreover, it is worth noting that, since the device groups in the later order will receive the data transmission rule and the target data later, the slave electronic devices 13s included in the device groups are made by the servo unit 11 The number of s decreases with the order of the device groups, which is beneficial to improve the efficiency of the auxiliary system 1 executing the data update method.

It should be added that, in another implementation aspect of this embodiment, the first key slave electronic device 13A of the first device group G1 may be, for example, the master electronic device 13m from the first device group G1 Selected from all the subordinate electronic devices 13s, more specifically, in step S14, after the main electronic device 13m receives the target data and the data transmission rule, the main electronic device 13m may, for example, first obtain the target data from the first electronic device 13m. All the subordinate electronic devices 13s in a device group G1 obtain a plurality of pieces of operation status data corresponding to the subordinate electronic devices 13s respectively, and then according to the operation status data from all the subordinate electronic devices 13s in the first device group G1 The one with the lowest operating burden or the highest operating efficiency is selected as the first key slave electronic device 13A.

In addition, in yet another implementation aspect of this embodiment, in step S16 , the second key subordinate electronic device 13B determines, for example, the number of all subordinate electronic devices 13s in the third device group G3 to determine the desired subordinate electronic device 13s. The target data is transmitted to all the subordinate electronic devices 13s of the third device group G3, or the target data is only transmitted to the third key subordinate electronic device 13C of the third device group G3. More specifically, if the second key subordinate electronic device 13B determines that the number of all subordinate electronic devices 13s in the third device group G3 is greater than a predetermined threshold, the second key subordinate electronic device 13B will The data is transmitted to all the subordinate electronic devices 13s of the third device group G3, and if the second key subordinate electronic device 13B determines that the number of all the subordinate electronic devices 13s of the third device group G3 is not greater than the predetermined threshold value, the second key slave electronic device 13B will only transmit the target data to the third key slave electronic device 13C. In addition, in different implementation aspects, the second key slave electronic device 13B can also be determined according to the length of time required for all the slave electronic devices 13s of the third device group G3 to complete the update processing procedure. Whether to transmit the target data to all the subordinate electronic devices 13s of the third device group G3, or only transmit the target data to the third key subordinate electronic device 13c of the third device group G3, and the second key For example, the slave electronic device 13B provides the target data to the third device group G3 in the least time-consuming manner, thereby completing all the slave electronic devices 13s of the third device group G3 in the most time-saving manner. renew.

The present invention also provides a second embodiment of the auxiliary system 1 , and the difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment lies in the data updating method implemented by the auxiliary system 1 .

Referring to FIG. 1 , FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 at the same time, the following exemplarily describes how the auxiliary system 1 of the second embodiment implements the data updating method.

First, in step S21, the servo unit 11 generates the target data. The purpose of the target data is, for example, the same as that of the first embodiment, so it will not be repeated here. Next, the flow proceeds to step S22.

In step S22, the servo unit 11 determines the main electronic device 13m and the subordinate electronic devices 13s (including the key subordinate electronic devices 13s') according to the device data, and sorts the subordinate electronic devices 13s and grouping to generate the data transmission rules. The manner in which the servo unit 11 determines the main electronic device 13m and the subordinate electronic devices 13s, and generates the data transmission rule is similar to that of the first embodiment, so it will not be repeated here. Next, the flow proceeds to step S23.

In step S23, the server unit 11 transmits the target data and the data transmission rule to the main electronic device 13m. Next, the flow proceeds to step S24.

In step S24, after the main electronic device 13m receives the target data and the data transmission rule, the main electronic device 13m automatically executes the update processing procedure according to the target data, thereby completing its own update. Also, the main After the electronic device 13m completes the execution of the update processing program, for example, the data transmission rule and the target data are then transmitted to the first key slave electronic device 13A of the first device group G1, and the first key slave electronic device 13A of the first device group G1, The difference between the embodiments is that, in the second embodiment, the main electronic device 13m, for example, also transmits the data transmission rule together with the target data to the first device group G1 except the first key subordinate electronic device 13A. At least one of the other slave electronic devices 13s is at least one slave electronic device 13s.

More specifically, in the second embodiment, the master electronic device 13m transmits the data transmission rule and the target data to the first key slave electronic device 13A, and the second key slave electronic device 13A, for example, as shown in FIG. 5 . Two of the subordinate electronic devices 13s in a device group G1 (or one or other number), and the two subordinate electronic devices 13s are respectively used as a subordinate electronic device 13D shown in FIG. 5 , for example. and a slave electronic device 13E, but not limited thereto. In other words, in the second embodiment, the master electronic device 13m "does not" transmit the target data to all the slave electronic devices 13s in the first device group G1. Next, the flow proceeds to step S25.

In step S25, after the first key slave electronic device 13A, the slave electronic device 13D and the slave electronic device 13E of the first device group G1 receive the target data from the master electronic device 13m, all Each of the three slave electronic devices 13s described above automatically executes the update processing program according to the target data, thereby This completes its own update.

Next, different from the first embodiment, in the second embodiment, after the slave electronic device 13D and the slave electronic device 13E complete the execution of the update processing program, for example, as shown in FIG. The target data is transmitted to the last two subordinate electronic devices 13s of the first device group G1 according to the data transmission rules, and the last two subordinate electronic devices 13s are respectively regarded as a subordinate electronic device as shown in FIG. 5 , for example. 13F and a slave electronic device 13G. Moreover, the slave electronic device 13F and the slave electronic device 13G respectively automatically execute the update processing procedure to complete the update after obtaining the target data from the slave electronic device 13D and the slave electronic device 13E respectively. It should be noted that, the slave electronic device 13D and the slave electronic device 13E may, for example, select one of the slave electronic devices 13s with the best communication quality from the same device group to provide the target data, but this is not the case. limit.

On the other hand, after the first key slave electronic device 13A completes the execution of the update processing procedure, for example, the data transmission rule and the target data are then sent to the second key slave electronic device of the second device group G2. Device 13B. Moreover, different from the first embodiment, the first key subordinate electronic device 13A, for example, also transmits the data transmission rule together with the target data to the second device group G2 except for the second key subordinate electronic device At least one slave electronic device 13s among the other slave electronic devices 13s other than 13B.

More specifically, in the second embodiment, the first key is derived from For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the slave electronic device 13A transmits the data transmission rule and the target data to the second key slave electronic device 13B and one of the slave electronic devices 13s of the second device group G2, and all The above-mentioned slave electronic devices 13s are respectively used as a slave electronic device 13H shown in FIG. 5 , for example, but not limited thereto. In other words, in the second embodiment, the first key subordinate electronic device 13A does not "not" transmit the target data to all subordinate electronic devices 13s in the second device group G2. Next, the flow proceeds to step S26.

In step S26, after the second key subordinate electronic device 13B and the subordinate electronic device 13H of the second device group G2 receive the target data from the first key subordinate electronic device 13A, the second key subordinate electronic device 13A The slave electronic device 13B and the slave electronic device 13H each automatically execute the update processing program according to the target data, thereby completing their own update.

Next, different from the first embodiment, in the second embodiment, after the slave electronic device 13H completes the execution of the update processing program, for example, as shown in FIG. The data is transmitted to the last slave electronic device 13s of the second device group G2, and the last slave electronic device 13s is, for example, a slave electronic device 13I shown in FIG. 5 . And, the slave electronic device 13I automatically executes the update processing program after obtaining the target data from the slave electronic device 13H to complete the update. On the other hand, after completing the execution of the update processing program, the second key slave electronic device 13B, for example, then transmits the data. The input rule is transmitted to the third key slave electronic device 13C of the third device group G3 together with the target data. Moreover, different from the first embodiment, the second key subordinate electronic device 13B, for example, only transmits the data transmission rule and the target data to the third key subordinate electronic device 13C, but not to the third key subordinate electronic device 13C. Any other subordinate electronic device 13s in the device group G3 except the third key subordinate electronic device 13C.
