Background technique

In the past, when we upgraded smart devices (gateways, sub-devices, independent WIFI devices, etc.) through OTA (Over the Air, over-the-air download), we needed to manually initiate upgrade instructions one by one. Smart gateways generally include sub-devices of multiple SKUs (Stock Keeping Unit, product uniform number). Due to the insufficient processing capability of smart gateways, these sub-devices of different SKUs often cannot be upgraded at the same time. When users perform OTA upgrades on smart devices It is often necessary to wait for one type of SKU equipment to be upgraded before proceeding to the next type of SKU. Or due to the limitation of gateway resources or interference of wireless signals (such as Bluetooth devices), the upgrade of all devices can only be upgraded in a single queue, the upgrade time is very long, and the upgrade efficiency is also very low.

Table 1

S3, the cloud server 1 upgrades the smart device 3;

The cloud server 1 upgrades the groups under the same gateway 2 serially, that is, only upgrades the smart devices 3 in one group at a time, and can upgrade the groups under different gateways 2 in parallel, so that the group 1 under the gateway 2-1 can be upgraded at the same time. The smart device 3 in the group 2 under the gateway 2-2 and the smart device 3 in the group 2 under the gateway 2-2 cannot be upgraded at the same time, but the smart device 3 in the group 1 and the group 2 under the gateway 2-1 cannot be upgraded at the same time. Insufficient handling capacity.

For example, cloud server 1 upgrades smart device 3 in group 1 in gateway 2-1, and smart devices 3 in group 1 are all downlights, cloud server 1 sends the upgrade package of downlights to gateway 2, gateway 2 Then send the upgrade package to the downlight under it. Before the upgrade, the cloud server 1 generates an upgrade package corresponding to the smart device 3 .

S4, the cloud server 1 receives the update result report message sent by the smart device 3;

Specifically, the upgrade result report message sent by the smart device 3 includes an upgrade success message or an upgrade failure message; the cloud server 1 sends the ID of the smart device 3 corresponding to the upgrade success message or the upgrade failure message, and the gateway 2 corresponding to the smart device 3 ID, and whether the upgrade is successful is stored in the memory, and continue to upgrade other smart devices 3 in the group, or upgrade smart devices 3 in other groups.

S5. After all smart devices 3 are upgraded, the cloud server 1 provides an upgrade report;

Specifically, the upgrade report provides a list of smart devices 3 that have been successfully upgraded and a list of smart devices 3 that have failed to be upgraded. There are various reasons for the upgrade failure, for example, the smart device 3 is offline, or a software problem, a hardware problem, etc. For a software problem or a temporary disconnection of the smart device 3, the smart device 3 can generally be successfully upgraded again.

S6, the cloud server 1 receives a user input to upgrade the smart device 3 that fails to upgrade again, and upgrades the smart device 3 that fails to upgrade again;

Specifically, the cloud server 1 may include a human-computer interaction interface 11, and the human-computer interaction interface 11 may display relevant information to the user and receive input commands from the user. After the cloud server 1 receives the re-upgrade command for the smart devices 3 that have failed to upgrade, the cloud server 1 proceeds to step S2 to group the smart devices 3 that have failed to upgrade, and then upgrade again.

As shown in FIG. 3 , the cloud server 1 includes a human-computer interaction interface 11 , a receiving module 12 , a sending module 13 , a memory 15 , and a processor 14 . The processor 14 is electrically connected to the human-computer interaction interface 11 , the receiving module 12 , the memory 15 , and the sending module 13 , respectively.

The processor 14 is configured to obtain the information of a plurality of smart devices 3 under each gateway 2, wherein the smart device 3 information includes the ID of the smart device 3, and the type information of the smart device 3, etc.; The multiple smart devices 3 are grouped; specifically, all downlights under the same gateway 2 are grouped into one group, and all ceiling lights are grouped into one group. If there are too many devices in the group, they can be divided into two groups. or multiple groups.

The processor 14 is further configured to generate data packets of each group of smart devices 3 under the gateway 2. For example, when the cloud server 1 upgrades the group 1 under the gateway 2-1, the processor 14 generates the packet 1 under the gateway 2-1. The upgrade package corresponding to the light; the processor 14 sends the upgrade package corresponding to the downlight of group 1 under the gateway 2-1 to the gateway 2-1 through the sending module 13 to realize the upgrade.

The receiving module 12 is configured to receive the upgrade result report message sent by the smart device 3, and forward the upgrade result report message to the processor 14. Specifically, the upgrade result report message sent by the smart device 3 includes the upgrade success information, or the upgrade In the case of failure information, the processor 14 stores the smart device ID in the update result report message, the corresponding gateway, and the update result in the memory 15 .

The processor 14 is configured to store the ID of the smart device 3 corresponding to the upgrade success message or the upgrade failure message, the ID of the gateway 2 corresponding to the smart device 3, and whether the upgrade is successful in the memory, and continue to upgrade other smart devices in the group. Device 3, or upgrade other groups of smart devices 3.

After all the smart devices 3 are upgraded once, the processor 14 generates an upgrade report and displays it to the user through the man-machine interface 11 . The upgrade report includes a list of smart devices 3 that have been successfully upgraded and a list of smart devices 3 that have failed to be upgraded.

When the user thinks that the smart device 3 that has failed to be upgraded needs to be upgraded again, the human-machine interface 11 accepts the user's re-upgrade input information, and the human-machine interface 11 forwards the re-upgrade input information to the slave processor 14, and the processor 14 responds to The smart devices 3 that fail to upgrade are grouped and upgraded again.
