Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

As the user's needs change over time, technicians need to continuously update the tv fruit application to optimize the functions of the tv fruit device and meet the user's needs. At present, in an upgrading mode of the television application, all the television application devices can download upgrading packages from the CDN to upgrade the television application, and the flexibility of upgrading the television application is poor. In addition, in the upgrading mode, once the bug exists in the upgrading package, the bug will bring adverse effects to all television sets.

In order to solve the above problem, an upgrade system for tv fruit applications according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown in fig. 1, and the upgrade system includes a tv fruit device 11, a server 12, and a CDN 13. The upgrade system for tv fruit application may include one or more tv fruit devices, and the example of the tv fruit application is only 1 tv fruit device, which is not limited herein. The server 12 may be an OTA (Over-the-Air Technology, space download Technology) cluster. The OTA cluster can be connected to the display so that the user can control the OTA cluster and the CDN through the content displayed by the display.

In the embodiment of the invention, the television program application runs in the television program equipment. Television fruit applications include, but are not limited to, television fruit versions and television fruit plug-ins. Correspondingly, the upgrade package of the tv fruit application may include a software version upgrade package corresponding to the tv fruit version and a plug-in upgrade package corresponding to the tv fruit plug-in.

Based on the television fruit application upgrading system, the embodiment of the invention provides a television fruit application upgrading method. Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a first flowchart illustrating a method for upgrading a tv application according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the method is applied to a server, and includes the following steps.

Step S21, receiving a first upgrade request sent by a first television fruit device, where the first upgrade request carries a target grayscale identifier of the first television fruit device, and the target grayscale identifier includes a numerical value at a preset position in a device number of the first television fruit device.

Step S22, according to the pre-stored corresponding relationship between the gray scale mark and the application version mark, determining the latest application version mark corresponding to the target gray scale mark, wherein the application version mark is the mark of the upgrade package according to which the television fruit device characterized by the gray scale mark is allowed to upgrade the television fruit application.

Step S23, the latest application version identifier is sent to the first television program device.

Step S24, after receiving a second upgrade request carrying the latest application version identifier sent by the first television program device, sending a first address of the first upgrade package indicated by the latest application version identifier to the first television program device, so that the first television program device obtains the first upgrade package from the content distribution network according to the first address, and upgrades the television program application according to the first upgrade package.

In the method for upgrading a television program application provided by the embodiment of the present invention, a server pre-stores a corresponding relationship between a grayscale identifier and an application version identifier, where the grayscale identifier is used to characterize a television program device, and the application version identifier is an identifier of an upgrade package, and if a corresponding relationship between a grayscale identifier and an application version identifier is pre-stored in the server, the television program device characterized by the grayscale identifier is allowed to be upgraded by using the upgrade package characterized by the application version identifier. If the corresponding relation between the gray scale identification and an application version identification is not stored in the server, the television equipment represented by the gray scale identification is prohibited from being upgraded by using the upgrading packet represented by the application version identification. Therefore, in the embodiment of the invention, the television fruit equipment can be flexibly controlled to download the upgrade package from the CDN to upgrade the television fruit application by utilizing the corresponding relation of the pre-stored gray scale identifier and the application version identifier, so that the flexibility of upgrading the television fruit application is improved.

In step S21, the server may upgrade the request in a variety of ways, as follows.

The first is an active acquisition mode: the server sends an acquisition request to the first television fruit device, and the first television fruit device sends a first upgrading request to the server according to the acquisition request.

The second is a passive acquisition mode: the first television fruit device sends an upgrade request (namely a first upgrade request) to the server at regular time, and then the server receives the first upgrade request sent by the first television fruit device.

In the embodiment of the invention, the first television program equipment can be any television program equipment. For ease of understanding, the first television apparatus is used as an example and is not intended to be limiting.

The target gray scale mark comprises a numerical value at a preset position in the equipment number of the first television program equipment. And the gray scale marks are used for distinguishing the television fruit equipment which is specified by the user and needs to be upgraded from the television fruit equipment which does not need to be upgraded. The gray scale mark is a numerical value at a preset position in the equipment number of the television set. Here, the preset position may be set according to actual requirements. For example, the preset position may be the last two device numbers, the middle three device numbers, or the whole device number. In the embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of tv fruit devices may have the same gray scale identifier, and one tv fruit device may also have a unique gray scale identifier, which is not limited herein.

In step S22, the server stores in advance the correspondence between the grayscale markers and the application version markers. After receiving the first upgrade request, the server may obtain the target grayscale identifier from the first upgrade request, and then search for a corresponding relationship including the target grayscale identifier from a corresponding relationship between the prestored grayscale identifier and the application version identifier. The found corresponding relation may be one or more.

And if the found corresponding relation is one, the server takes the application version identification included in the corresponding relation as the latest application version identification corresponding to the target gray level identification.

If the found corresponding relations are multiple, the server compares the application version identifications included in the multiple corresponding relations to obtain the latest application version identification, and the latest application version identification is the latest application version identification corresponding to the target gray level identification. Here, the latest application version identification may be understood as an application version identification of an upgrade package whose release time is latest.

In the embodiment of the invention, the application version identification can uniquely determine an upgrading packet. The application version identification may include: the software number of the television fruit application, the hardware model of the television fruit device and the sales channel of the television fruit device. The application version identifier may further include other information, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

In step S23, after acquiring the latest application version identifier corresponding to the target grayscale identifier, the server sends the latest application version identifier to the first television program device.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the latest application version identifier may be carried in a response message of the first upgrade request, and the server sends the response message of the first upgrade request to the first television program device. The server may also send the latest application version identifier to the first television program device in other manners, which is not limited to this.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the first television program device acquires the latest application version identifier, the latest application version identifier can be compared with the version identifier of the television program application of the first television program device. If the latest application version identification is newer than the version identification of the television fruit application of the first television fruit device, the first television fruit device can determine that the television fruit application operated by the first television fruit device is not the television fruit application of the latest version, and sends a second upgrading request to the server, wherein the second upgrading request carries the latest application version identification and is used for requesting to download a first address of a first upgrading package indicated by the latest application version identification.

If the latest application version identifier is the same as the version identifier of the television fruit application of the first television fruit device or the latest application version identifier is old than the version identifier of the television fruit application of the first television fruit device, the first television fruit device can determine that the television fruit application operated by the first television fruit device is the television fruit application of the latest version and does not perform other processing.

In the embodiment of the present invention, after obtaining the latest application version identifier, the first television program device may also output a prompt message including the latest application version identifier. And the user inputs corresponding instructions to the first television fruit device based on the prompt message output by the first television fruit device. And if the instruction input by the user indicates that the television program application is upgraded, the first television program device sends a second upgrading request to the server. If the instruction input by the user indicates that the television program application is not to be upgraded, the first television program device may not perform other processing.

In step S24, the server records the correspondence between the application version identification and the address of the upgrade package. In the corresponding relationship, the address of the upgrade package is the storage address of the upgrade package in the CDN indicated by the application version identifier.

If a second upgrade request sent by the first television fruit device is received, the server acquires an address (namely a first address) of the first upgrade packet indicated by the latest application version identification, and sends the first address to the first television fruit device. After the first television program device obtains the first address, a first upgrade package stored by the CDN at the first address is obtained, and the television program application is upgraded according to the first upgrade package.

In an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for upgrading a tv application, as shown in fig. 3, the method may further include the following steps.

Step S25, if the reminder message sent by the first tv program is not received after the preset duration after the first address is sent to the first tv program device, setting the grayscale identifier corresponding to the latest application version identifier to be null, where the reminder message indicates that the first tv program device runs the upgraded tv program application and is faulty.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the first television program device upgrades the television program application according to the first upgrade package, the upgraded television program application is operated. If the upgraded television application has an error in operation, the first television application device sends a reminding message to the server to remind the server that the first television application has an error in operation. And if the upgraded television program application runs normally, the first television program device does not perform other processing.

After the server sends the first address to the first television fruit device for a preset time, the server does not receive the reminding message sent by the first television fruit all the time, so that the upgraded television fruit application can be determined to run normally, the first upgrade packet has no leak, and the gray scale identifier corresponding to the latest application version identifier is set to be null. The preset time length can be set according to actual requirements, and is not limited.

In the embodiment of the invention, the gray scale mark corresponding to the application version mark is empty, which indicates that the television fruit device for downloading the upgrade package indicated by the application version mark is not limited. The server determines that the first upgrade package has no leak, sets the gray scale identifier corresponding to the latest application version identifier to be null, cancels the limitation on the television fruit equipment for downloading the first upgrade package, allows all the television fruit equipment to download the first upgrade package, enables all the television fruit equipment to optimize the functions of the television fruit equipment, does not bring adverse effects, and improves user experience.

In an embodiment of the present invention, based on the embodiment shown in fig. 3, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for upgrading a tv application, as shown in fig. 4, the method may further include the following steps.

Step S26, if the reminder message sent by the first tv set is received within the preset duration after the first address is sent to the first tv set, deleting the corresponding relationship including the latest application version identifier.

In the embodiment of the invention, when the server receives the reminding message sent by the first television program within the preset time length after the server sends the first address to the first television program device, the fact that the upgraded television program application is in an operation error can be determined, the first upgrading packet has a bug, and the corresponding relation including the latest application version identification is deleted. At this time, the server does not have a corresponding relationship including the latest application version identifier, and thus the latest application version identifier corresponding to the target grayscale identifier cannot be determined according to the corresponding relationship between the prestored grayscale identifier and the application version identifier, and the first television program device cannot acquire the latest application version identifier, cannot acquire the first upgrade package indicated by the latest application version identifier, and cannot upgrade the television program application according to the first upgrade package.

Therefore, the situation that other television program equipment upgrades the television program application according to the existence of the bug is effectively avoided, and the negative influence caused by the existence of the bug in the upgrade package is further reduced.

In an embodiment of the present invention, based on the embodiment shown in fig. 3, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for upgrading a tv application, as shown in fig. 5, the method may further include the following steps.

Step S27, if the reminder message sent by the first tv program is received within the preset time after the first address is sent to the first tv program device, outputting the reminder message, where the reminder message includes an error type.

Step S28, if a deletion request input by the user according to the error type is received, deleting the corresponding relationship including the latest application version identifier.

In the embodiment of the invention, the server receives the reminding message sent by the first television program within the preset time after the server sends the first address to the first television program device, so that the running error of the upgraded television program application can be determined. In practical application, there are various reasons for errors in running the upgraded tv application, such as bugs existing in the upgrade package, failures of the tv application itself, and the like. The server outputs the reminder message. The reminding message comprises an error type, and the error type can comprise a type of operation error caused by the existence of a bug in the upgrade package, a type of operation error caused by the failure of the television program equipment, and the like.

And the user determines whether the upgrade package indicated by the latest application version identification is suitable for being popularized to other television equipment or not according to the error type output by the server. According to the error type output by the server, if the upgrade package indicated by the latest application version identification is determined to be unsuitable for being popularized to other television equipment, for example, the error type included in the reminding message is the type of operation error caused by the existence of a bug in the upgrade package, the user inputs a deletion request to the server. And the server deletes the corresponding relation comprising the latest application version identification according to a deletion request input by the user. The method effectively avoids the upgrade package which is wrongly operated due to the downloading of other television program equipment, and further reduces the negative influence caused by the existence of bugs in the upgrade package.

If it is determined that the upgrade package indicated by the latest application version identifier is suitable for being popularized to other television effect devices, for example, the error type included in the reminder message is a running error type caused by a failure of the television effect device itself, the user may not perform other processing, that is, the server does not delete the corresponding relationship including the latest application version identifier. At the moment, the user only needs to timely process the reason causing the television program application operation error, and the downloading of the corresponding upgrade package by other television program equipment is not influenced.

In an embodiment of the present invention, based on the embodiment shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for upgrading a tv application, as shown in fig. 6, after step S22 and before step S23, the method may further include the following steps.

Step S29, obtaining the total device number of the target tv fruit device, where the target tv fruit device is a tv fruit device that has upgraded the tv fruit application according to the first upgrade package.

Step S210, determining the number of target devices corresponding to the latest application version identification according to the corresponding relation between the application version identification stored in advance and the number of devices, wherein the number of devices is the number of television fruit devices which are allowed to upgrade the television fruit application according to the upgrade package indicated by the application version identification.

In step S211, it is determined whether the total number of devices is smaller than the number of target devices. If yes, go to step S23. If not, no other processing is carried out, and the upgrading process of the television application is ended.

In the embodiment of the invention, the television fruit equipment for downloading the upgrade package is controlled by utilizing the gray scale identification, and meanwhile, the television fruit equipment for downloading the upgrade package is controlled by utilizing the number of the television fruit equipment which allows the television fruit application to be upgraded according to the upgrade package. The television fruit device for downloading the upgrade package is flexibly controlled through two parameters, and negative effects brought by bugs existing in the upgrade package are further reduced.

In step S29, for each upgrade package, the server accumulates the tv program devices to be upgraded according to the upgrade package. The cumulative initial value of each upgrade package is 0. Take the first upgrade package as an example. After sending the first address to a tv fruit device, the server considers that the tv fruit device has upgraded the tv fruit application according to the first upgrade package, and accumulates the tv fruit devices that have upgraded the tv fruit application according to the first upgrade package plus 1. And taking the television program equipment which has upgraded the television program application according to the first upgrade package as the target television program equipment. And after determining the latest application version identification corresponding to the target gray level identification, the server acquires the total equipment number of the target television equipment.

In step S210, for each upgrade package, the number of tv fruit devices that allow the tv fruit application to be upgraded according to the upgrade package is preset, and is referred to as the number of devices corresponding to the upgrade package. The server stores the corresponding relationship between the application version identification of the upgrade package and the number of the devices corresponding to the upgrade package, that is, the corresponding relationship between the application version identification and the number of the devices.

After determining the latest application version identification corresponding to the target gray level identification, the server searches the corresponding relation including the latest application version identification from the corresponding relation of the application version identification and the equipment number stored in advance, wherein the equipment number included in the searched corresponding relation is the target equipment number.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the execution order of steps S29 and S210 is not limited.

In step S211, the server compares the total device number of the target television set and the target device number, and determines whether the total device number is smaller than the target device number. If the total device number is less than the target device number, the server may continue to perform step S23, so that the first tv program device continues to upgrade the tv program application. If the total equipment number is larger than or equal to the target equipment number, the server can determine that the number of the television fruit equipment which runs the television fruit application upgraded by using the first upgrading packet at present is exceeded, does not perform other processing, and ends the upgrading process of the television fruit application. Therefore, the negative influence caused by the existence of the bug in the upgrade package can be effectively controlled.

In an embodiment of the present invention, based on the embodiment shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for upgrading a tv application, as shown in fig. 7, after step S22 and before step S23, the method may further include the following steps.

Step S212, determining a target must-pass application version identification corresponding to the latest application version identification according to the corresponding relation between the pre-stored application version identification and the must-pass application version identification, wherein the must-pass application version identification is as follows: when the television application needs to be upgraded before the television application is upgraded according to the upgrade package indicated by the application version identification, the application version identification of the upgrade package is used as a basis.

Step S213, sending the target must be used version identifier to the first television program device.

Step S214, after receiving a third upgrade request that the first television program device carries the target must be applied version identification, sending a second address of a second upgrade package indicated by the target must be applied version identification to the first television program device, so that the first television program device obtains the second upgrade package from the content distribution network according to the second address, and upgrading the television program application according to the second upgrade package before upgrading the television program application according to the first upgrade package.

In the embodiment of the invention, the first television program equipment firstly upgrades the television program application by using the second upgrading packet indicated by the target mandatory application version identification, and then upgrades the television program application by using the first upgrading packet indicated by the latest application version identification. This ensures that the tv fruit application of the first tv fruit device is successfully upgraded.

In step S212, the mandatory application version is identified as: when the television application needs to be upgraded before the television application is upgraded according to the upgrade package indicated by the application version identification, the application version identification of the upgrade package is used as a basis. For example, before upgrading the tv application with the upgrade package indicated by the application version identifier 1, the tv application needs to be upgraded with the upgrade package indicated by the application version identifier 2. If the television application is not upgraded by using the upgrade package indicated by the application version identifier 2, the television application cannot be upgraded successfully by using the upgrade package indicated by the application version identifier 1, and the application version identifier 2 is the required application version identifier corresponding to the application version identifier 1.

The server stores the corresponding relation between the application version identification and the mandatory application version identification in advance. And searching the corresponding relation comprising the latest application version identification in the corresponding relation between the prestored application version identification and the compulsory application version identification, wherein the compulsory application version identification included in the searched corresponding relation is the target compulsory application version identification.

In step S213, after acquiring the target must pass application version identifier, the server sends the target must pass application version identifier to the first television program device.

In the embodiment of the invention, the target can be carried in the response message of the first upgrading request necessarily via the application version identification, and the server sends the response message of the first upgrading request to the first television program device. The server may also send the target to the first television program device via the application version identifier in other manners, which is not limited to this.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the first television program product device obtains the target must pass application version identification, the target must pass application version identification can be compared with the version identification of the television program product application of the first television program product device. If the target must-pass application version identifier is newer than the version identifier of the television program application of the first television program device, the first television program device can send a third upgrading request to the server, wherein the third upgrading request carries the target must-pass application version identifier and is used for requesting to download a second address of a second upgrading package indicated by the target must-pass application version identifier.

If the target must be the same as the version identifier of the tv fruit application of the first tv fruit device, or the target must be the old from the version identifier of the tv fruit application of the first tv fruit device, the first tv fruit device may determine that the tv fruit application running on the first tv fruit device is the latest version of the tv fruit application, and does not perform other processing, or send a response message indicating that the second upgrade package is not downloaded to the server.

In step S214, the server records the correspondence between the application version identifier and the address of the upgrade package. If a third upgrade request sent by the first television fruit device is received, the server acquires an address (namely a second address) of a second upgrade package which is necessarily indicated by the application version identification, and sends the second address to the first television fruit device. And after the first television program device obtains the second address, obtaining a second upgrade package stored by the CDN at the second address, and upgrading the television program application according to the second upgrade package. After determining that the upgrading of the tv program application by the first tv program device according to the second upgrade package is completed, the process proceeds to step S23.

If the third upgrade request sent by the first television program device is not received, or a response message indicating that the second upgrade package is not downloaded is received, the step S23 is continuously executed.
