步骤 203: 执行各终端在第一状态下需要执行的业务操作， 并以各终端 的升级标识为索引记录下该执行该业务操作得到的业务操作结果。
如果各终端在第一状态下不需要业务操作， 则可略过该步骤。
步骤 204: 通知各终端进行模式切换。 需要说明的是， 本实施例中的模式切换即从终端的某一状态或某一模 式切换到终端的另一状态或模式， 例如， 使终端从参数备份模式切换到固 件升级模式。
步骤 205: 获取第二状态下的所有待升级终端的列表， 并与第二状态下 的所有终端建立数据通道。
步骤 206: 读各终端取的升级标识信息。
步骤 207: 根据读取到升级标识信息， 在预先记录的第一状态下的业务 操作结果的列表中， 查找与该读取到的升级标识对应的业务操作结果。
此处完成了一次状态切换前后的同一设备与其操作结果的匹配， 即实 现了在第一状态下的各个终端的业务操作结果与第二状态下的各终端的匹 配。
步骤 208: 各终端的升级业务操作执行完成， 升级工具通知各终端切换 到初始的第一状态， 整个升级过程结束。
如果各终端固件升级的过程需要多次模式切换， 则可以重复上述模式 切换的步骤， 例如， 如果由于固件升级的需要使各个终端重新切换到第一 状态， 则切换到第一状态后则无需再执行存储业务操作结果的步骤， 即在 终端固件升级的过程中， 各终端处于某一状态的业务操作结果只存储一次。 各模式下的业务操作过程中如果需要用到之前终端所处的各模式的业务操 作结果， 均可通过从终端中读取的升级标识信息进行查找获取， 从而保证 各模式中通过同一标识获取的信息均为对同一设备的业务操作结果， 即完 成了同一设备在多次模式切换时业务操作结果与终端的匹配。
上述步骤 201至步骤 208对终端固件升级过程中根据升级标识存储其 在不升级过程中的不同模式下的业务操作结果以及根据升级标识获取业务 操作结果的过程进行了简要描述， 以下将详细描述批量升级多个终端固件 的过程中， 需执行的具体业务操作内容以及在各模式下根据业务操作结果 完成当前模式下的升级操作的详细流程。
终端在计算机操作系统中呈现的设备类型有多种， 如 U盘、 RNDIS设 备、 MODEM设备和虚拟串口等， 以下以终端在计算机操作系统中呈现的 设备类型为 RNDIS设备为例， 结合图 3来对本发明实施例的在终端固件升 级方法进行详细阐述。
图 3是本发明实施例的批量升级 RNDIS设备固件的流程图， 如图 3所 示， 批量升级 RNDIS终端固件的整个流程包括如下步骤：
步骤 301 : 升级工具获取所有待升级的 RNDIS终端。
步骤 302: 因为每个 RNDIS终端的 IP地址不同， 所以升级工具通过向 指定的 IP地址发送预先约定的 HTTP ( HTTP-Hypertext transfer protocol, 超文本传输协议） 请求可获取各个终端的 IMEI 号。 然后， 升级工具将其 作为终端的升级标识， 通过预先约定的 HTTP指令写入到各个终端的保留 存储区中。
由于 IMEI号本身就是终端的升级标识， 可保证唯一性， 所以该步骤中 可以直接使用 IMEI号作为终端的升级标识。
步骤 303: 用户通过升级工具的固件路径选择功能， 为每个待升级的终 端选择要升级的目标固件的路径。升级工具以各个终端的升级标识（即 IMEI 号） 为索引， 存储用户给各个终端指定的目标固件的路径。
步骤 304: 升级工具通过各终端的 IP地址以预先约定的 HTTP指令的 方式给各需要升级的终端发送模式切换指令， 通知终端切换到参数备份状 态， 该状态下终端可以通过串口与 PC侧的升级工具通信。
步骤 305: 升级工具获取各终端的串口信息， 并从各终端中读取步骤 302中写入的升级标识信息。 然后， 通过各串口以预先约定的诊断（DIAG ) 指令， 即诊断（diagnostic )指令的方式从终端中读取需要备份的信息（NV 项， 即非易失性随机访问存储器 （ NVRAM ， Nonvolatile random access memory )、蓝牙地址、介质访问控制（ MAC, Medium/MediaAccess Control ) 地址、 网络配置等， 并以各终端的升级标识信息为文件名， 将各终端需要 备份的信息存储到 PC侧的数据备份文件中。
步骤 306: 升级工具通过各 COM端口以预先约定的 DIAG指令的方式 通知各终端切换到固件升级状态。 该状态下升级工具仍通过串口与各终端 进行通信。 但同一终端对应的串口端口号在状态切换前后可能发生变化， 所以同一串口号不一定对应同一终端。
步骤 307: 升级工具再次获取各终端的串口信息， 并读取各终端对应的 升级标识信息。 然后， 升级工具从先前用户指定的目标固件路径列表中， 找到各终端对应的目标固件路径， 并从目标固件路径中获得要下载的固件 文件。 最后， 升级工具通过串口以预先约定的 DIAG指令的方式将固件文 件下发给各终端， 实现固件升级。
步骤 308:升级工具通过串口以预先约定的 DIAG指令的方式通知各终 端切换到数据恢复状态。 该状态下升级工具与终端也可以通过串口通讯。
步骤 309: 升级工具获取各终端的串口信息， 并读取各终端对应的升级 标识信息。 然后， 升级工具从先前以升级标识为索引的数据备份文件集中 找到相应的数据备份文件。 最后， 升级工具解析该数据备份文件， 并通过 串口以预先约定的 DIAG指令的方式将备份的信息恢复到对应的终端中。
步骤 310:升级工具通过各个串口以预先约定的 DIAG指令的方式通知 各终端切换到 RNDIS状态， 即终端正常工作的状态， 升级过程完成。
