Description

Invention name: Management method and system of software module

Technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of software management technologies, and in particular, to a management method and system for a software module.

Background technique

[0002] With the development of the domestic electronic payment market and payment technology, the software system of the payment terminal is also increasingly complicated.

Most of the current payment terminals use a complex operating system based on Linux or even Android, and support a variety of peripheral drivers including IC cards, magnetic cards, RF cards, various communication methods, and implement GUI, device services, management, and more. A variety of software features such as applications. The development of various software has made software management an urgent problem.

[0003] The Chinese patent of CN 103746840 A proposes an automatic verification method for network device software version information, including: connecting the device under test and the main control computer through Ethernet, and running the main control on the main control computer The device under test runs the device discovery module client, scans the basic information of the device and reports the main control program; the main control program parses the basic information reported by the device under test, and generates a device object to be verified for each device under test. Accepting the standard software version information input by the user; the main control computer generates a verification policy according to the user-defined configuration file, obtains the software version information of the device under test, and compares with the standard software version information input by the user to generate a verification report. Although the scheme realizes the detection of the software version information, it needs to communicate with the main control computer, and the operation is very inconvenient. In addition, the solution is for the management of the entire system software. In general, various software functions are difficult to be managed uniformly because they involve different burst departments and the upgrade frequency is different. Based on this feature, the related software is usually managed as a software module. For example: print driver, IC card driver, etc. The common way to maintain software modules is to make each software module into a software package, such as: ipkg format software package. These packages are maintained with version information. This implements software maintenance in units of software modules.

[0004] After each software module is separately managed and maintained, software updates on the terminal can be implemented by upgrading one or several software modules instead of upgrading the software of the entire system. This reduces the amount of data upgraded by the software and facilitates maintenance. However, the software maintenance unit has become smaller and has brought management problems, once in the customer's hand. In the case of a problem with the machine, the customer or the customer service staff must return the version information of all the software modules back in order to perform the corresponding analysis. There are dozens or even hundreds of software modules on the payment terminal, which causes a lot of inconvenience to the customer or the customer service staff.
