随着移动互联网的迅猛发展和通过互联网向用户提供应用服务(Over The Top，OTT)和交互式网络电视(Internet Protocol Television，IPTV)机顶盒的大规模面世，越来越多的家庭和个人使用网络机顶盒收看电视节目，网络机顶盒在市场上占用率的增加，也给机顶盒的维护带来更多的压力和挑战，主流的软件升级方式都是客户机和服务器(Client/Server，C/S)架构的，机顶盒终端开机后向服务器查询是否有版本更新，发现有更新，就从升级服务器下载新版本，相关技术中软件升级系统中，一个服务器同时为多个机顶盒提供镜像下载服务。另外由于用户使用机顶盒的时间段都比较集中，所以容易出现大量机顶盒同时向服务器请求升级的情况，占用大量带宽，影响其它业务，对用户体验和运营商运维都带来一定程度的困扰。综上所述，机顶盒软件升级过程中存在以下问题：

具体实施方式
下文中将参考附图并结合实施例来详细说明本公开。需要说明的是，在不冲突的情况下，本申请中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互组合。
需要说明的是，本公开的说明书和权利要求书及所述附图中的术语“第一”、“第二”等是用于区别类似的对象，而不必用于描述特定的顺序或先后次序。
在本实施例中提供了软件升级方法，图1是本发明实施例的软件升级方法的流程图一。
在步骤210中，向机顶盒的升级服务器发送软件升级请求。
在步骤220中，获取所述升级服务器返回的与所述软件升级请求对应的响应信息，其中，该响应信息中携带有已获取升级数据的第一终端的地址信息。
在步骤230中，根据所述地址信息向所述第一终端发送用于获取的所述升级数据的请求，获取所述升级数据，根据获取到的所述升级数据进行软件升级。
通过所述步骤，当软件新版本升级时，向机顶盒的升级服务器发送软件升级请求；获取所述升级服务器返回的与所述软件升级请求对应的响应信息，其中，该响应信息中携带有已获取升级数据的第一终端的地址信息；根据所述地址信息向所述第一终端发送用于获取所述升级数据的请求，获取所述升级数据，根据获取到的所述升级数据进行软件升级。采用上述技术方案，减少了机顶盒系统软件升级占用带宽时间长和升级周期长导致的用户体验差和运营商运维困难的问题，可以多点下载，摆脱对升级服务器性能和带宽的依赖，减少由于升级服务器性能因素带来的升级问题，缩短机顶盒的升级时间。
在一个可选的实施例中，获取所述升级数据，包括：根据所述地址信息按照指定排序从多个所述第一终端分别获取部分升级数据，其中，从所述多个第一终端获取的多个部分升级数据组成全部升级数据。
在一个可选的实施例中，向所述第一终端发送用于获取所述升级数据的请 求之后，所述方法还包括：当前连接到所述第一终端获取所述部分升级数据的终端的数量超过预设阈值时，接收所述第一终端反馈的机顶盒列表信息，其中，该机顶盒列表信息包括：从所述第一终端获取所述部分升级数据的一个或多个第三终端的地址信息；根据所述第三终端的地址信息从所述第三终端获取所述部分升级数据。该指定排序可以包括：随机排序或顺序排序。当指定排序为随机排序时，可以优先获取所述机顶盒列表信息中所述部分升级数据已获取量最少的该部分升级数据。
基于上述实施例所提供的技术方案，以下结合一示例对上述技术方案进行说明，图2是本发明实施例的软件升级系统的结构框图一，下面结合图2来详细描述软件升级过程。机顶盒升级镜像下载可以是在网络中部署一台或者多台升级服务器，所有的终端机顶盒(即本实施例中的第一终端、第二终端或者第三终端)都是围绕着服务器设置的。当数据信息量大且下载用户数目剧增时就会导致终端机顶盒下载速度缓慢甚至服务器崩溃，在本实施例中，网络中的机顶盒可以扮演升级服务器的角色，多个机顶盒之间是平等的关系，如图2所示，每个机顶盒既可以从其它机顶盒获取服务，也要向其它机顶盒提供服务，是一种新兴的资源共享技术，可以使机顶盒连接到其它机顶盒进行文件下载，摆脱了单一升级服务器的限制。即网络中部署的升级服务器不再需要全职提供下载服务了，最原始的升级文件是放在升级服务器上，当机顶盒来请求升级文件时，服务器可以记录每个机顶盒的下载情况，后续其它机顶盒需要下载该升级文件时，服务器可以向请求升级文件的机顶盒提供其它拥有该镜像的机顶盒网络互连协议(Internet Protocol，IP)地址和端口，请求升级文件的机顶盒可以与其它机顶盒通讯并下载文件。也就是，服务器发送一次升级文件就可能不用再次发送了，因为其他机顶盒都可以从拥有该文件的机顶盒中获得。实施例中机顶盒第一终端、第二终端和第三终端随着每个阶段的变化都可以互相的转变角色。例如，当机顶盒终端没有软件升级数据而向服务器发出请求时，机顶盒终端为第二终端；当第二终端从别的机顶盒终端获取软件升级数据并为其他机顶盒终端提供升级数据下载服务时，机顶盒终端为第一终端；以及当别的机顶盒终端由于向其下载软件升级数据的机顶盒终端达到预设的一个阈值时，该机顶盒终端就会将已获取软件升级数据的第一终端地址信息给需要下载的机顶盒供其下载，此时第一终端就成为了第三终端。另外为了使得下载镜像的过程不对用户观看电视带来影响，可以采用无界面，后台限速下载的机制。下载过程中可以 不弹出任何提示，通过每下载一个小分块数据就休眠一段时间来平滑控制下载的带宽，让用户对下载镜像的过程无感知。
在本实施例中提供了一种软件升级方法，图3是本发明实施例的软件升级方法的流程图二，下面结合图3来详细描述软件升级过程。为了方便说明，把参与一个特定文件下载的所有机顶盒的集合称为一个会话。在一个会话中，本实施例中升级数据可以为部分升级数据，且部分升级数据为等长度的文件块，块长度可以根据情况确定，比如32KB。当一个机顶盒开始加入一个会话时，它没有文件块。但是随着时间的推移，它将累积到越来越多的文件块。当它下载文件块时，也可以为其他机顶盒上传它已经下载好的文件块，这样只要加入会话的机顶盒越多，下载速度也就越快。机顶盒一旦获得了整个文件，可以暂停一段时间，为其它机顶盒上传文件块。
图3为机顶盒系统中发现版本需要更新时，软件升级的步骤。
在步骤410中，机顶盒1向升级服务器请求下载文件。
在步骤420中，服务器把已经下载了全部升级数据的机顶盒信息和已经下载完部分升级数据块的机顶盒信息(至少包括IP地址和端口号)返回给当前请求的机顶盒1。
在步骤430中，机顶盒1解析服务器返回的信息获取可下载列表。
在步骤440中，当分块数据A在机顶盒系统中还没有被哪个机顶盒所获取，机顶盒1则要向升级服务器处下载分块数据A。
在步骤450中，连接列表中的机顶盒2下载分块数据C。
在步骤460中，机顶盒1向升级服务器共享已经下载好的分块。
在步骤470中，机顶盒1同时给机顶盒3提供服务供其下载分块A。
在步骤480中，机顶盒2向机顶盒3请求下载机顶盒3已获取的分块数据。
在步骤490中，机顶盒1从机顶盒3下载分块数据B。
在步骤4100中，机顶盒1所有分块数据下载完成，执行完整性校验，确保文件下载成功，其中，校验方法包括但不限于信息-摘要算法第五版(Message-Digest Algorithm 5，MD5)校验。
在步骤4110中，机顶盒1给其他机顶盒提供数据下载服务。
在步骤4120中，当机顶盒系统中所有机顶盒升级完毕，机顶盒1宣告停止下载服务。
在本实施例中提供了一种软件升级方法，图4是本发明实施例的软件升级方法的流程图三。
在步骤510中，当软件版本更新时，接收第二终端发送的软件升级请求。
在步骤520中，向所述第二终端返回与所述软件升级请求对应的响应信息，其中，该响应信息中携带有已获取升级数据的第一终端的地址信息，所述第二终端根据所述地址信息获取向所述第一终端发送用于获取所述升级数据的请求，获取所述升级数据，根据获取到的所述升级数据进行软件升级。
通过所述步骤，当软件版本更新时，接收第二终端发送的软件升级请求；以及向所述第二终端返回与所述软件升级请求对应的响应信息，其中，该响应信息中携带有已获取升级数据的第一终端的地址信息，所述第二终端根据所述地址信息向获取所述第一终端发送用于获取所述升级数据的请求，获取所述升级数据，根据获取得到的所述升级数据进行软件升级。通过上述技术方案，减少了机顶盒系统软件升级占用带宽时间长和升级周期长导致的用户体验差和运营商运维困难的问题，可以在机顶盒终端上快速完成升级过程。
在本发明实施中，针对下载分块数据的排序，本发明实施例提供了两种技术方案：顺序排序和随机排序。
在本示例中还提供了一种机顶盒按照顺序排序下载分块数据的软件升级方法，在一个文件的下载会话里，所有的机顶盒在逻辑上形成一个互相连接的状态。机顶盒与升级服务器之间，机顶盒与机顶盒都是相互连接，相互之间都提供下载和上传服务。
机顶盒按分块数据顺序排序下载时，每下载完一个分块，就向服务器报告其拥有的分块信息，并对外提供对应的下载服务，实施步骤如下：
在步骤A中，机顶盒1向升级服务器请求下载镜像文件，服务器返回当前正在下载升级文件的机顶盒信息，这个信息至少包括机顶盒的IP，端口，以及所拥有的文件分块；
在步骤B中，机顶盒1根据这些信息，按照分块的顺序查找提供这个分块数据的机顶盒2，并连接到机顶盒2中下载对应的分块数据，如果还没有任何机 顶盒2提供了这个分块，则就从升级服务器上下载；
在步骤C中，机顶盒1下载完一个机顶盒2上的分块以后，向服务器报告其拥有的分块信息，同时提供下载服务，方便提供给其它机顶盒下载；
在步骤D中，向其它机顶盒或者升级服务器请求下载其它还未下载的分块；
在步骤E中，依次循环C、D步骤，直到所有分块都下载完；
在步骤F中，升级数据下载完，对整个升级文件执行完整性校验，确保文件下载正常，其中，校验方法包括但不限于MD5；
在步骤G中，对外提供这个文件的下载服务；以及
在步骤H中，超过一定的时间以后，停止对外的服务，本次下载完成。
在本示例中提供了一种机顶盒按照随机排序下载分块数据的软件升级方法，机顶盒采用随机排序下载分块的方法，每下载完一个分块，就向服务器报告其拥有的分块信息，并对外提供对应的下载服务，实施步骤如下：
机顶盒向升级服务器请求下载镜像文件，服务器返回当前正在下载的升级文件的机顶盒信息，这个信息至少包括机顶盒的IP，端口，以及所有已经下载好的文件分块；
机顶盒根据分块数据分布信息，计算出当前机顶盒还未下载，而且在整个网络中的拥有数是最少的分块数据，连接拥有这个分块数据的机顶盒进行下载，如果这个分块在所有的机顶盒中都还不存在，就从升级服务器上下载；
机顶盒下载完一个机顶盒上的分块以后，向服务器报告其拥有的分块信息，并提供下载服务，方便其它机顶盒下载；同时服务器返回网络中最新的分块数据分布信息，机顶盒下载其它分块；
依次循环上述步骤，直到所有分块都下载完；
升级数据下载完，对整个升级文件执行完整性校验，确保文件下载正常，其中，校验方法包括但不限于MD5校验；
对外提供升级文件的下载服务；以及
超过一定的时间以后，停止对外的服务，本次下载完成。
通过以上的实施方式的描述，本领域的技术人员可以清楚地了解到根据所述实施例的方法可借助软件加通用硬件平台的方式来实现，当然也可以通过硬 件。基于这样的理解，本公开的技术方案本质上可以以软件产品的形式体现出来，该计算机软件产品存储在一个存储介质(如只读存储器(Read-Only Memory，ROM)、随机存取存储器(Random Access Memory，RAM)、磁碟、光盘)中，包括一个或多个指令用以使得一台终端设备(可以是手机，计算机，服务器，或者网络设备等)执行本公开实施例所述的方法。

返回模块84，与接收模块82连接，设置为向所述第二终端返回与所述软件升级请求对应的响应信息，其中，该响应信息中携带有已获取升级数据的第一终端的地址信息，所述第二终端根据所述地址信息向所述第一终端发送用于获取的升级数据的请求，获取所述升级数据，根据获取到的所述升级数据进行软件升级。
通过所述模块的综合作用，接收模块82接收第二终端发送的软件升级请求；返回模块84向所述第二终端返回与所述软件升级请求对应的响应信息，其中，该响应信息中携带有已获取升级数据的第一终端的地址信息，所述第二终端根据所述地址信息向所述第一终端发送用于获取所述升级数据的请求，获取所述升级数据，根据获取到的所述升级数据进行软件升级。采用上述技术方案，减少了机顶盒系统软件升级占用带宽时间长和升级周期长导致的用户体验差和运营商运维困难的问题，可以多点下载，摆脱对升级服务器性能和带宽的依赖，减少由于升级服务器性能因素带来的升级问题，缩短机顶盒的升级时间。
上述模块是可以通过软件或硬件来实现的，对于软件实现方式，上述模块可以以软件模块的形式位于一个或多个存储介质中。对于硬件实现方式，上述模块可以均位于同一处理器中；或者，所述模块可以分别位于多个处理器中。

在一个可选示例中，所述系统还包括第四终端，该第四终端，设置为在第二终端96从第一终端92获取所述升级数据时，向第二终端96请求获取所述升级数据。
在本发明可选实施例中提供了一种机顶盒下载完全部升级数据后才开始提供下载服务的软件升级方法，实施步骤如下：
机顶盒1向升级服务器请求下载升级数据，服务器返回当前已经拥有这个全部升级数据的机顶盒2的信息，这个信息至少包括机顶盒2的IP，端口；
机顶盒1根据这些信息，连接到对应的机顶盒2，下载机顶盒2中的全部升级数据，如果机顶盒2当前的连接数超过预设阈值，可以尝试下一个机顶盒2，直到找到一个可以提供服务的机顶盒2，如果没有可供下载的机顶盒2，可以从升级服务器上下载升级数据；
全部升级数据下载完，机顶盒1对整个文件执行完整性校验，确保文件下载正常，其中，校验方法包括但不限于MD5，校验通过后执行升级数据包的安装，并向服务器反馈已经下载完成的状态，同时开启下载服务；
机顶盒1对外提供这个全部升级数据的下载服务，供其它机顶盒下载；以及
超过一定的时间以后，机顶盒1停止对外的下载服务。
在本发明可选实施例中还提供了一种机顶盒记录从其下载过部分数据分块的机顶盒下载信息的软件升级方法。机顶盒每下载完一个部分数据分块，可以不向服务器报告其拥有的部分数据分块信息，由提供下载的服务器或者机顶盒记录这个信息，假设每个机顶盒只能允许同时2个机顶盒从它下载部分数据分块，这样当机顶盒1连接到机顶盒2开始查询下载一个部分数据分块时，如果机顶盒2当前连接数小于2，那么机顶盒1就可以从机顶盒2开始下载部分数据分块。如果机顶盒2当前连接数等于2，机顶盒2返回一个包含了之前已经从机顶盒2下载过或者正在下载这个部分数据分块的机顶盒列表，这样机顶盒1就获取到其它拥有这个部分数据分块的机顶盒信息。依次循环下去，机顶盒1可 以获取到越来越多拥有这个部分数据分块的机顶盒信息，可为其提供下载服务的机顶盒也越来越多。实施步骤如下：
在步骤A中，机顶盒1向升级服务器请求下载部分数据分块，服务器返回之前从它这里下载过部分数据分块的机顶盒信息，这个信息至少包括机顶盒的IP，端口，以及所拥有的部分数据分块情况；
在步骤B中，机顶盒1根据升级服务器返回的信息，连接到列表中的所描述的机顶盒2，查询是否可以从该机顶盒2中下载该部分数据分块，如果机顶盒2可以提供下载服务，那就从机顶盒2中下载对应的部分数据分块；如果机顶盒2当前正在向预设阈值的机顶盒提供的下载服务，无法再向机顶盒1提供下载服务，机顶盒2就返回一个从它这里下载过或者正在下载的机顶盒列表信息，机顶盒1再从这个列表里选择机顶盒去下载对应的部分数据分块，如果最终没有任何机顶盒提供了这个部分数据分块，则就从升级服务器上下载；
在步骤C中，机顶盒1下载完一个部分数据分块以后，提供下载服务的机顶盒或者升级服务器就记录这个信息，提供给后续其它机顶盒下载；
在步骤D中，根据步骤B中的机顶盒列表信息，机顶盒1接着向其它机顶盒或者升级服务器请求下载其它还未下载的部分数据分块；
在步骤E中，依次循环步骤B、C、D，直到所有部分数据分块都下载完；
在步骤F中，全部数据分块下载完，机顶盒1对整个升级文件执行完整性校验，确保文件下载正常，其中，校验方法包括但不限于MD5；以及
在步骤G中，机顶盒1对外提供这个文件的下载服务。
综上所述，本发明实施例减少了机顶盒系统软件升级占用带宽时间长和升级周期长导致的用户体验差和运营商运维困难的问题，可以多点下载，摆脱对升级服务器性能和带宽的依赖，减少由于升级服务器性能因素带来的升级问题，缩短机顶盒的升级时间；后台下载，每次只下载小块的文件分块，升级过程不会对用户收看电视节目带来影响，提升用户体验。
