In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to distinguish the version number between the server and the client, the version number of the server section is called the latest system version number, that is, the latest system version field includes: platform model field, region field and the latest system version number. Only when the format of the latest system version field is consistent with that of the client version field can the two be compared.

Step 103: Determine whether the latest system version number is higher than the client system version number, and when the latest system version number is higher than the client system version number, send the system upgrade package corresponding to the latest system version field to the client, instructing the client system upgrade.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the version field is re-expanded, and the version field of the latest system on the server side is determined according to the platform model field and the region field in the version field, and then it can be judged whether the client needs to be upgraded through comparison. The version field supports the addition of new platforms or models, etc., and is highly scalable. It can be determined whether an upgrade is required by judging the size of the version number, and the judgment logic is simple.

Preferably, the client version field also includes compilation date and/or compilation times. It should be noted that since the format of the latest system version field is consistent with that of the client version field, when the client version field also includes the compilation date and/or compilation times, the corresponding latest system version field also includes the compilation date and/or compilation count.

Specifically, the compilation date is used to indicate the time when the system version was compiled. In the embodiment of the present invention, the compilation date is represented in the format of "Bxxxx", see Table 4 for details. Among them, B represents the start digit of the compilation date, the first and second digits after that represent the month of the compilation date, and the third and fourth digits represent the date of the compilation date.

Table 4

First to fourth digits (compile date) 0910: Version compiled on September 10 0911: Version compiled on September 11

The number of compilations is used to indicate the number of compilations of the system version on a certain date, which can be specifically "the first compiled version", "the second compiled version" and so on. At the same time, the client version field also includes the version type, which can be divided into stable version and development version, etc. If a new version type appears in the future, it can be extended on top of this without changing the format of the version field. See Table 5 for details:

table 5

N (number of compilations) S (version type) 1: The version compiled for the first time S: stable version 2: The second compiled version D: development version 3: The third compiled version T: Daily Build

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the client version field also includes the compilation date and/or compilation times, if the latest system version number is the same as the client system version number, then it can also be judged based on the compilation date and/or compilation times whether you have performed System Upgrade. Specifically include steps A1-A2:

Step A1. If the latest system version number is the same as the client system version number, when the compilation date in the latest system version field is higher than the compilation date in the client version field, upgrade the system package corresponding to the latest system version field sent to the client;

Step A2. If the compilation date in the latest system version field is the same as the compilation date in the client version field, when the number of compilations in the latest system version field is greater than the number of compilations in the client version field, it will be compared with the latest system version field The corresponding system upgrade package is sent to the client.

Preferably, when the client version field also includes a version type; in step 102, determine the latest system version field consistent with the platform model field and the region field according to the platform model field and the region field, specifically including:

Determine the latest system version field consistent with the platform model field, region field and version type according to the platform model field, region field and version type. In the embodiment of the present invention, according to the platform model field, region field and version type, the retrieval range of the server-side system version can be narrowed, and the processing efficiency can be improved.

Preferably, the system upgrade request further includes the MAC address of the client. After obtaining the system upgrade request uploaded by the client in step 101, the method further includes:

Determine whether the MAC address of the client matches the MAC address stored in the system, and when the MAC address of the client matches the MAC address stored in the system, proceed to the step of determining the latest system version field.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the MAC address of the client is used to confirm whether the client is qualified to upgrade the system, so that other clients can be excluded. For example, mobile phone a produced by manufacturer A can request system upgrade from the server of manufacturer A, while mobile phone b produced by manufacturer B cannot request system upgrade from the server of manufacturer A; the above process can be completed by judging whether the MAC addresses match.

Preferably, the system upgrade package sent by the server to the client includes an upgrade identifier; the upgrade identifier is used to identify whether the system can be upgraded. For example, 0 means no upgrade, 1 means mandatory upgrade, and 2 means upgrade is possible, which needs to be selected by the user. Only when the upgrade flag supports upgrade (taking the above as an example, when the upgrade flag is 1 or 2), the client is instructed to perform system upgrade.

The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling system upgrades based on version information, which re-expands the version field, determines the version field of the latest system on the server side according to the platform model field and region field in the version field, and then compares Determine whether the client needs to be upgraded. The version field supports the addition of new platforms or models, etc., and is highly scalable. It can be determined whether an upgrade is required by judging the size of the version number, and the judgment logic is simple.
