The following description is made in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, and the following preferred embodiments incorporate the above-described embodiments and preferred embodiments thereof.

In the following preferred embodiments, a large data packet terminal parameter configuration method and system are provided. The following mainly uses the OMA protocol to implement large data packet parameter configuration as an example for detailed description.

In the following preferred embodiments, it is possible to overcome the problem that the large data packet is slow to download through the DM protocol and does not support the breakpoint resume transmission, and solve the problem of large data parameter packet download and terminal parameter configuration, so that the parameter configuration can be more flexible and practical.

The technical solution adopted by the preferred embodiment is as follows:

First, big data package is encapsulated. The big data package mainly includes two parts: data template and file data. After the data packet is composed according to a specific format, it is packaged;

After the data package is packaged, upload the server according to a certain encoding format. The data packet of the upload server needs to be tagged with the brand or operator according to the requirements and numbered;

The terminal device initiates parameter configuration DM session by means of manual or server-triggered mode. The device reports its own device information and packet number in the session. The server judges the device according to the device information and number. If the requirements of the delivery package are met, the DL process is entered and the data is sent. package. In the DL process, downloading data packets can support multi-threading and resume transmission, and can download data packets quickly and steadily;

After the data packet is downloaded to the device, the parameter configuration management module first validates the correctness and integrity of the packet, parses the data packet, and performs data configuration according to the data template and file data in the data packet.

Because the parameter configuration is not the same as the device upgrade, you need to assign a specific parameter to the device to configure the partition to save the configuration parameters. When the device firmware needs to be upgraded, it can be upgraded normally without affecting the parameter configuration partition.

The preferred embodiment provides a method and system for grouping, downloading, and configuring a large data packet, which can effectively solve the problem that the large data packet downloading speed in the DM protocol is slow and cannot be resumed, and the parameter configuration with a large data size can be changed. achieve.

The big packet package, download, and configuration scheme of the preferred embodiment are described in more detail below:

Parameter configuration is often an important means for operators to require manufacturers to manage devices after they leave the factory. Especially in North American operators, this parameter configuration is quite extensive. Some of them have proposed to customize the terminal parameters of some of their own brands through OMA DM, such as boot animation, background, etc., but due to the implementation, the large object download of DM protocol can not meet such requirements, so they have to cancel Such a node configuration item.

In response to this situation, the parameter configuration and system of the large data packet terminal proposed by the preferred embodiment effectively solves the disadvantages of the prior methods, and solves the difficulty of configuring the parameter parameters of the large data packet by utilizing the advantages of the DL download.

FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart of a parameter configuration of a large data packet terminal according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the process includes:

In step S502, the first thing to be processed is to manage and configure the parameter package. The parameter package mainly includes two parts of content, data template and file data. The data template is a contract that stipulates which configurations are included in the packet, targets that are configured to the terminal, and data sources. File data is generally a large amount of data, such as boot animation, background ringtones, background images, and so on.

7 is a schematic diagram of a data template of a parameter packet (also referred to as a data packet) according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 7 is a composition of a parameter packet, where name represents the name of the currently configured node, and the type value is equal to "STRING". For the parameter configuration, "value" indicates the configuration item of the terminal, the last string indicates the configured value; the type value is equal to "FILE" indicates the file configuration, "value" indicates the specific location configured to the terminal, and the last string is the file location. The location of the parameter package. The maximum package number assigned by the server when the top package ID is the package's upload parameter package.

Through the management of the parameter package, the content to be configured can be effectively organized, and the source and destination of the configuration item can be clearly known, and the parameter package can be accurately configured after being downloaded to the device.

Step S504 in FIG. 5, after the parameter package is prepared, the packet may be encapsulated by using UPC (an encoding method) or other methods, and then the server is uploaded, and the operator, brand, and group information corresponding to the parameter packet are filled in the parameter. In the package label, the ID assigned by the server is entered into the parameter package.

Step S506, after the parameter packet is successfully uploaded, the terminal initiates a parameter configuration process, reporting the information of the device and the parameter packet number of the terminal.

Step S508, the server determines whether to send the parameter packet according to the information reported by the terminal, if the matching parameter packet is not found or the parameter packet has been delivered, go to step S510; otherwise, go to step S512, and send the parameter packet description information. DD (download description, download upgrade package descriptor).

Step S514, the terminal starts to enter the DL download data packet process according to the DD description information, and downloads a data packet of a large data amount. After the data package is successfully downloaded, step S516 performs parameter configuration according to the content of the data template.

Step S518, after the configuration is completed, report the result of the server configuration.

The above process roughly describes the general flow of large packet parameter configuration. The terminal and server interaction processes are described in detail below.

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a terminal and server interaction process according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6, steps S618, S620, and S622 in the figure are data packet uploading processes. Due to the parameter configuration, in the preferred embodiment, the parameter configuration problem of different operators, different brands or groups is mainly explained as an example. Therefore, when uploading a data packet, it is necessary to fill in the relevant information of the data packet, and The server assigns a unique ID number to the data packet. The ID value is sent along with the data packet. The server determines whether to send a new data packet based on the ID value reported by the terminal.

In step S602, the terminal reads the operator, the brand, and the group according to the inserted SIM card information and the device parameters. When the device that newly inserts the SIM card is powered on, the terminal triggers the parameter configuration request, and reports the device information and parameter configuration request to the server. .

Steps S604-S606, the server performs authentication according to the information reported by the terminal. If the authentication is passed, the terminal returns a response 200 (200 OK) to request terminal authentication. After the terminal authentication is passed, the server responds with a response 200.

Step S608, the server receives the terminal authentication pass message, and actively acquires (GET) the terminal data packet ID value.

In step S610, the terminal reports its own packet ID value, and the default factory is 0.

In step S612, the server determines whether the data packet needs to be delivered according to the operator (OEM), brand (BRAND), and group (GROUP) information reported by the terminal, and if necessary, sends the packet descriptor DD to enter the DL download.

Step S614, the terminal enters the DL download according to the DD descriptor information, and the process supports the resume transmission of the breakpoint and the multi-threading, which can meet the download requirement of the big data packet; when the data packet is downloaded, the configuration is performed according to the information of the data template in the packet. The configuration is complete and the configuration result is reported to the server.

In step S616, the server records the last reported result.

Finally, describe how to switch the terminal's own state:

For a terminal that supports parameter configuration, a specific partition is demarcated. When the partition is restored to the factory settings, it may not be erased. This prevents the user from downloading the parameter configuration package without replacing the SIM, which wastes traffic and time. Figure 8 is based on this. A schematic diagram of the terminal device partitioning of the preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 8, the newly added Customization partition can only be erased after a specific engineering instruction or a SIM card is replaced, and the normal factory reset will not be Erase.

FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of state switching of a terminal device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 9 , when the device is powered on for the first time, the terminal belongs to an unconfigured state, and after the parameter configuration, the configuration state is changed. When inputting special engineering instructions or replacing the SIM card, you need to re-configure the parameters, erase the Customization partition, and re-configure the parameters. When the normal restart or restore factory settings, only the user data is erased, the parameter partition is not erased, and the parameter configuration package is not downloaded again.

In summary, the parameter configuration method of the big data packet terminal overcomes the limitation of the common parameter configuration, so that the large data packet can be smoothly downloaded and the parameter configuration of the large data amount of the device is performed. And the use of OMA DM protocol authentication, DL download method, making the whole process more secure and reliable.
