Third embodiment:

The present invention will be further explained in conjunction with specific application scenarios.

This embodiment provides an RCS version management and publishing method, in particular, a method for flexibly deploying services and improving user experience, and adopting a grayscale publishing method of a terminal RCS version. Grayscale publishing refers to a publishing method that can smoothly transition during the software version release process. The so-called grayscale is the choice between black and white. The grayscale release is the first to be a small-scale attempt, and then gradually expand to the mass deployment process, which is one of the important means to ensure the end user's good perception.

The method for managing and upgrading the grayscale release of the RCS version of the terminal provided by the embodiment provides full use of the advantages of the Internet and the operator's own network, and solves the traditional method that the user needs to manually install, and provides multiple policy controls (black and white list, grayscale group, The system version) ensures that the main solution for fast service provisioning without affecting the user experience can flexibly deploy services and improve user experience.

Optionally, network communication is used between the RCS APP client on the mobile terminal and the RCS grayscale publishing platform on the network side, and the following steps are mainly included.

The first step: the user mobile terminal function environment test passed, packaged into a commercial RCS APP Grayscale release version.

The client automatically uploads the test version and the grayscale version to the server-side grayscale publishing platform, and carries the upgraded version information or the browser login method to upload the version installation upgrade package and version information to the grayscale publishing platform.

Step 2: Configure the RCS APP grayscale release version to the grayscale release upgrade service system.

The third step: configure the grayscale publishing strategy.

Configure various policy control conditions for the client grayscale release in the grayscale publishing server, such as configuring the qualified upgradeable APP version, configuring the limited whitelist table with upgrade permission, configuring the upgradeable mobile phone system version, and setting the adaptation. The version defines whether the user should be forced to upgrade, configure the user grayscale group identifier, etc. These policy controls can be selected individually or in combination.

Step 4: After the grayscale is released, after the user uses the normal, modify or create a new publishing policy, the condition is restricted, and the whitelist is not set, and all versions and models or partial crowds are adapted; if the abnormality is used, the previous one can be rolled back. old version.

By using the method provided in this embodiment to promote the development of the Internet mobile service, the usage satisfaction of the client user can be greatly improved, and the service experience of the user terminal can be improved.

S403. The RCS grayscale publishing platform checks the grayscale publishing policy of the terminal version, and if it meets the upgrade policy control condition, queries the database for the version information that needs to be upgraded;

The S404.RCS grayscale publishing platform (upgrade server) returns a response to the terminal, including the address and upgrade information of the upgrade package, and the like;

S405. The client obtains the upgrade package address and goes to the content server to download and upgrade;

S406. The content server returns the upgrade version package to the client upgrade.

The grayscale publishing policy in S403 is a plurality of policy control conditions for configuring the grayscale publishing of the client in the grayscale publishing management server, and the policy control may be separately selected or implemented in combination, such as:

Strategy 1. Configure a limited version of the upgradeable APP;

Policy 2. Configure a qualified whitelist table with upgrade privileges;

Strategy 3. Configure a scalable mobile phone system version;

Strategy 4. The adaptation version can be set to limit whether the adaptation user wants to force the upgrade.

As shown in FIG. 5, the RCS version grayscale publishing method provided in this embodiment includes:

S501. The terminal APP can upload the software version package and the version number through a message interface to the grayscale publishing platform through a message interface;

S502.RCS grayscale publishing platform (management server) will judge the parameters are correct, will be on the version Pass to the content server;

S503. After the content server is successfully uploaded, returning a response to the RCS grayscale publishing platform (management server);

S504.RCS grayscale publishing platform (management server) stores version information into the database;

S505. After the warehousing information is successful, the RCS grayscale publishing platform (management server) returns a response to the page; at this time, the APP interface of the mobile terminal displays that the upload is successful.

As shown in FIG. 6, the method for a manufacturer to upload an RCS version provided by this embodiment includes:

S601. Fill in the version information and the upgrade prompt by using a web browser on a common PC;

After the S602.RCS grayscale publishing platform (management server) determines that the parameters are correct, the version is uploaded to the content server;

S603. After the content server is successfully uploaded, returning a response to the RCS grayscale publishing platform (management server);

S604.RCS grayscale publishing platform (management server) stores version information into the database;

S605. After the warehousing information is successful, the RCS grayscale publishing platform (management server) returns a response to the page; the upload page of the server such as the manufacturer's computer displays that the upload is successful.

The patented method fully utilizes the network advantages of the Internet and the operator, and realizes the fast launch of the business under the premise of ensuring that the user experience is not affected, thereby greatly improving the user experience.
