detailed description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts, All fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

Referring to Figure 1, there is shown a flow diagram of one embodiment of a software update method provided by the present invention.

The software update method includes steps S11 to S13:

S11: Obtain a preset update configuration to detect whether the current software needs to perform software update when the system starts the freezing point recovery state.

In a specific implementation, when the software startup is initialized, the update configuration file preset by the user may be read to detect whether the software needs to perform software update in a state where the system starts the freezing point recovery. When the software is initialized, read the value of DeepFreezeUpdate in the user update configuration file config.ini. If DeepFreezeUpdate=true, the current software needs to perform software update when the system starts the freezing point restore. Otherwise, no software updates are required.

S12. If the update is configured to not perform a software update in a state where the system enables the freezing point restore, the software update request is ignored when receiving the software update request.

In a specific implementation, if the update is configured to not perform software update in a state in which the system starts the freezing point restore, when the software update request is received, it is detected whether the freezing point restoration of the system is in an open state. If yes, the software update request is ignored; if not, the software update request is executed.

If the user is set to not update the software under the freezing point, and it is detected that the system has turned on the freezing point restore, the update request can be directly ignored in the case of automatic software update, and the user can be reminded to manually turn off the freezing point in the case of manual software update. When it is detected that the system does not enable the freezing point restore, and there is no conflict between the freezing point restoration and the software update, the software update request can be directly executed.

S13. If the update is configured to perform software update in a state in which the system starts the freezing point restoration, when the software update request is received, the freezing point restore is turned off, and after the freezing point is turned off, the software is executed. Update request.

In a specific implementation, if the update is configured to perform a software update when the system turns on the freezing point restore, when the software update request is received, the freezing point restore is attempted to be closed.

It is detected whether the freezing point restoration is turned off. If the freezing point restore has been turned off, the software update request is executed; if the freezing point restore is not turned off, the freezing point restore cannot be turned off and it is recommended to manually close.

If the user is set to update the software under the freezing point, when the software receives the update server or the software update request manually sent by the user, the software first determines whether the system's freezing point restore has been closed, and if not closed, calls the corresponding API (Application Programming Interface, The application programming interface) interface attempts to turn off the freezing point restore. Whether the software detects whether the freezing point restore of the system is turned off, and if it has been turned off, directly executes the software update request; if the freezing point restore of the system is not automatically turned off, the user is reminded that the freezing point cannot be closed, and it is recommended to manually turn off the freezing point. Try again to update the software after the restore.

The invention can select whether to perform software update under the freezing point recovery according to the configuration of the user, and set the user to be under the freezing point. When the software is not updated, the automatic update request sent by the server is ignored. When the user is set to update the software under the freezing point, the system is automatically shut down after the freezing point is restored, and then the software is updated. The conflict between the freezing point restoration and the software update is effectively solved, the software is repeatedly updated, the user update experience is improved, the resource occupation of the computer and the update server is reduced, and the software maintenance and management are facilitated.

Referring to FIG. 2, it is a flowchart of a method of another embodiment of the software update method provided by the present invention.

Further, before the step S11, the method further includes:

S21: Detect whether the software is started for the first time, and when the software is first started, remind the user to set whether the software update is needed when the system starts the freezing point restoration.

When the software is initialized, it will automatically detect whether it is the first startup. If the configuration file is not updated in the software configuration directory, it will be started for the first time and enter the user configuration process. Otherwise, skip the user setup process and directly read the update configuration file in the software configuration directory.

S22. Write information about whether the software update is required by the user to the update configuration file.

Write the information about whether the software update is performed in the state where the system is turned on and the system is updated. If the user selects the update under freezing point, write DeepFreezeUpdate=true; if the user chooses not to update under freezing point, Then write DeepFreezeUpdate=false. If the user does not set whether to update under the freezing point, the default selection is not updated under the freezing point, and Write DeepFreezeUpdate=false to config.ini.

The embodiment further adds the user software update configuration process on the basis of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 , and only needs to write the user configuration information into the update configuration file when the software is first started, and then the subsequent software update can be performed. In the user configuration, the conflict between the freezing point restore and the software update is solved, which helps to further improve the user's software update experience.
