detailed description

It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

The invention provides a method for remotely controlling an intelligent device system upgrade.

Proxy service is a special network service in the Internet. An important security feature provided by the Internet link-level gateway, its work is mainly in the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) The dialogue layer of the model is responsible for forwarding legitimate network information and controlling and registering forwarding. When using a web browser to browse network information, if the Proxy service is used, the browser does not directly retrieve the web page from the web server, but sends a request to the Proxy service, and the Proxy service retrieves the information required by the browser. The function is to proxy network users to obtain network information, which allows one network terminal (such as a mobile device) to make an indirect connection with another network terminal (such as a smart device) through this proxy service. Proxy services exist in some network devices such as gateways and routers to implement proxy functions. The existing communication between different network terminals may have multiple Proxy services, thereby implementing multiple agents. For example, the mobile device may establish a communication connection with multiple smart devices through the Proxy service, and the mobile device requests access through the proxy protocol used by the Proxy service. A smart device that returns resources to a mobile device through a proxy protocol used by the Proxy service.

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a flowchart of an embodiment of a method for upgrading a remote control smart device system according to the present invention.

In this embodiment, the method for upgrading the remote control smart device system includes the following steps:

S10: Acquire a unique ID of the smart device, and input the mobile device;

S20: The mobile device carries the unique ID to establish a communication connection with the Proxy service.

S30: The mobile device receives a system upgrade package list that matches the smart device acquired by the Proxy service according to the unique ID.

S40: The mobile device sends an upgrade instruction to the smart device to upgrade through the Proxy service.

In this embodiment, the remote control smart device system upgrade method first obtains the unique ID of the smart device, and the unique ID of the smart device is obtained by the smart device for querying the local information, which is a unique identifier of the smart device, and is generally stored in the smart device. On the main chip of the smart device, each smart device obtains an identification code for distinguishing other individuals in the manufacturing process, and is unchangeable. The smart device may be a smart TV, a smart water heater, or It is a home appliance or other device with an intelligent system such as a smart speaker or a smart projector. After the local device reads the unique ID of the smart device, the mobile device is input, and the mobile device includes but is not limited to a mobile phone or a flat pad. It is another device capable of network communication.

When the mobile device carries the smart device unique ID and establishes a communication connection with the Proxy service, the mobile device carries the unique ID to initiate a connection request to the Web service, establishes a connection with the Web service, and after the Web service receives the connection request, carries the smart device. The unique ID obtains the Push of the smart device to implement the remote service to the Push service. After receiving the request message, the Push service notifies the smart device that the mobile device wants to connect. After the smart device receives the notification message, a pop-up prompt box prompts the user to have a connection request for the mobile device to remotely control the upgrade of the smart device system, and accepts if the user The mobile device does not accept the connection request of the mobile device, and the smart device establishes a one-time connection with the Proxy service, and feeds back the result of the smart device not accepting the mobile device connection request to the Proxy service; if the user accepts the connection request of the mobile device, establishes a TCP with the Proxy service. Long connection, and the result of the smart device accepting the mobile device connection request is sent to the Proxy service together with the service ID of the smart device itself; while the Push service prompts the user whether to accept the connection request of the mobile device through the smart device, the Web service carries The unique ID of the smart device establishes a connection with the Proxy service; the Proxy service forwards the received connection request result of the mobile device to the Web service; since the Web service has established a connection with the mobile device, the Web service receives the connection forwarded by the Proxy service. Send the result directly after requesting the result The mobile device, so that the mobile device makes a judgment; after receiving the connection request result sent by the web service, the mobile device makes further judgment processing, if the smart device does not accept the connection request, or the request times out or other mobile devices have connected with the smart device, The corresponding prompt is given by the interface of the mobile device. If the smart device accepts the connection request, the mobile device carries the unique ID of the smart device and the service ID of the mobile device to the Proxy service, and establishes a long connection with the Proxy service; The Proxy service can separately find the service ID of the smart device that the mobile device needs to connect and the service ID of the mobile device according to the unique ID of the smart device, and send the service ID of the smart device to the mobile device, and send the service ID of the mobile device to the mobile device. The smart device, in turn, causes the mobile device to have the service ID of the smart device in the Proxy service, and the smart device has the service ID of the mobile device in the Proxy service. At this time, the mobile device, the Proxy service, and the smart device can use the custom communication protocol to perform mutual Communication.

When the remote control smart device system is upgraded, the mobile device receives a list of system upgrade packages matching the smart device acquired by the Proxy service according to the unique ID, where the system upgrade package list includes the name of the upgrade package and the upgrade package version. And the upgrade package URL, the upgrade package includes the upgraded system programs and services, and the application program used with the system; the mobile device-side professional selects the upgrade package version according to the smart package matching upgrade package list, and the mobile device initiates the upgrade. The command is sent to the Proxy service via the Push service, and is forwarded by the Proxy service to the smart device for upgrade, and the remote control intelligent device system upgrade operation is completed.

In the method for upgrading the remote control smart device system of the embodiment, the mobile device receives a list of system upgrade packages that the Proxy service obtains according to the unique ID and matches the smart device, and the mobile device initiates an upgrade command to be forwarded to the smart device through the Proxy service. The equipment is upgraded, and no professional staff is required to do the system version upgrade or software replacement service, which improves the security, speed, and system and software compatibility of the smart device system upgrade, and further saves a lot of manpower, financial resources, and Time and other resources.
