S4, a user controls the app to send an upgrade instruction to the indoor unit 10 through the air conditioner 100;
S5, the indoor unit 10 is connected with the server to execute upgrading operation.
Specifically, the air conditioner 100 system includes a plurality of functional modules, for example, the indoor unit 10 may include: the outdoor unit 20 may include functional modules such as an outdoor unit MCU module 101 and an indoor unit EEPROM 102, and the outdoor unit MCU module 201 and an outdoor unit EEPROM 202. Each function module has a corresponding operation program and/or control parameter, each operation program corresponds to a sub-bin file, when an upgrade package is manufactured, in order to download the operation program of all the function modules to be upgraded of the air conditioner 100 at one time, the sub-bin files corresponding to all the function modules to be upgraded can be combined into a parent bin file by using the PC software, and the parent bin file is manufactured into an upgrade package and deployed to a server, so that the simultaneous transmission of a plurality of upgrade files is realized. Optionally, when the upgrade package is manufactured, only the new version of the sub-bin file corresponding to the functional module to be upgraded may be combined, or the new version of the sub-bin file of the functional module to be upgraded and the old board of the functional module not to be upgraded may be combined, and the program upgrade identifier not to be upgraded may be set for the sub-bin file of the functional module not to be upgraded.
After the upgrade package is uploaded to the server, the server may push an upgrade prompt message including a new version number to the air conditioner 100 control app of the user terminal, or the air conditioner 100 control app may actively query the server for whether a new version of the firmware upgrade program is available at regular time or periodically, and at the same time, the air conditioner 100 control app may communicate with the indoor unit MCU module 101 to obtain a local version of the parent bin file stored in the indoor unit 10. Then, the air conditioner 100 of the user terminal controls the app to compare the local version of the parent bin file with the server version, and when it is determined that the local version is lower than the server version, a prompt message is sent to the user, an upgrade key is displayed on an interactive interface of the app, the user sends an upgrade instruction to the indoor unit 10 by clicking the upgrade key on the app, the indoor unit 10 starts to handshake with the server to establish a data transmission connection after receiving the upgrade instruction sent from the user terminal, and then the server transmits an upgrade package containing the parent bin file to the indoor unit 10.
According to the air conditioner upgrading method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the child bin files corresponding to the running programs of the plurality of functional modules of the air conditioner 100 are combined into one parent bin file, so that when the firmware of the air conditioner 100 is upgraded, the running programs of all the functional modules needing to be upgraded can be upgraded at one time.
According to some embodiments of the invention, the plurality of operating programs includes at least: the indoor unit 10 control program, the outdoor unit 20 control program, the indoor unit EEPROM 102 parameters and the outdoor unit EEPROM 202 parameters, wherein the indoor unit 10 control program may be a control program of the indoor unit 10 indoor unit MCU module 101, for example, the indoor unit MCU module 101, the outdoor unit 20 control program may be a control program of the outdoor unit 20 indoor unit MCU module 101, for example, the outdoor unit MCU module 201, the indoor unit EEPROM 102 parameters are control parameters stored in the indoor unit EEPROM 102 and the outdoor unit EEPROM 202, and the outdoor unit EEPROM 202 parameters are control parameters stored in the outdoor unit EEPROM 202, although the present invention is not limited thereto, and the plurality of operation programs may also include operation programs of other function modules of the air conditioner 100.

Specifically, after the user starts the indoor unit 10 to perform an upgrade operation, that is, after the indoor unit 10 receives an upgrade instruction, the indoor unit 10 and the server start a handshake, that is, the indoor unit 10 first sends a connection request instruction for data transmission to the server, after the server receives the connection request instruction sent by the indoor unit 10, sends a response instruction to the indoor unit 10, the server establishes a data transmission connection with the indoor unit 10, and then the server transmits an upgrade package including a parent bin file to the indoor unit 10, and the indoor unit 10 may save the upgrade package in a storage space of the indoor unit MCU module 101.
Alternatively, the server and the indoor unit 10 perform data transmission through the xmodem protocol, and it will be understood that, when the server transmits the upgrade packet including the parent bin file to the indoor unit 10, the upgrade packet may be divided into a plurality of data packets for transmission in sequence.
Further, the indoor unit 10 is connected to a server to perform an upgrade operation, including the steps of: the indoor unit 10 analyzes the received upgrade package to obtain header information of the father bin file; determining an operation program to be upgraded according to the header information; storing the sub bin files corresponding to the running programs to be upgraded into the guide areas of the corresponding functional modules; after the transmission of the upgrade package is completed and the verification is completed, the sub-bin file is imported from the boot area to the operation area of the functional module.
Specifically, each functional module may be opened up with a boot area and an operation area, where the boot area is used to temporarily store an upgrade file during an upgrade process, and the operation area is used to provide a storage space for an operation program during an operation process of the functional module. In the transmission process of the upgrade package, the indoor unit 10 analyzes the received data package to obtain header information of the parent bin file, where the header information is added to the header of the parent bin file by the PC software when making the upgrade package, and the header information may include: manufacturer information, a version number, a file size of each sub-bin file, a start address, a program name identifier and a program upgrade identifier, wherein a functional module which needs to be upgraded in a plurality of functional modules of the air conditioner 100 can be determined through a program upgrade identifier field in header information.
For example, if it is determined that the program upgrade identifier of the sub-bin file corresponding to the running program of the indoor unit MCU module 101 expresses a certain upgrade, the sub-bin file is written into the boot area of the indoor unit MCU module 101, if it is determined that the program upgrade identifier of the sub-bin file corresponding to the running program of the indoor unit MCU module 101 expresses no upgrade, the sub-bin file is directly discarded, and then the next sub-bin file writing boot area or discarding judgment and operation are performed, and so on until all the plurality of functional modules corresponding to the plurality of sub-bin files included in the upgrade package are upgraded.
After the complete transmission of the upgrade package, the indoor unit MCU module 101 of the indoor unit 10 may verify all the received data packages, and in case of correct verification, write the sub-bin files in the boot area of each functional module into the operation areas of each functional module, thereby completing the upgrade of each functional module.
In some embodiments, after the upgrade package transmission is completed, the air conditioner upgrade method further includes: acquiring version numbers of running programs of the plurality of updated functional modules; merging the acquired version numbers of the running programs of the functional modules to generate an overall version number; judging whether the overall version number is consistent with the version number of the server version of the upgrade package; if the two types are consistent, the upgrading is completed.
Specifically, after the transmission of the upgrade package is completed, the indoor unit MCU module 101 of the indoor unit 10 communicates with the outdoor unit MCU module 201, the indoor unit EEPROM 102 and the outdoor unit EEPROM 202 respectively, so as to obtain version numbers updated by running programs of each functional module respectively, combine the obtained version numbers to generate a new overall version number, and then determine whether the overall version number is consistent with the version number of the server version of the upgrade package; if the function modules are consistent, the function modules to be upgraded are all updated, if the function modules are inconsistent, the function modules are not updated successfully, and the upgrading can be carried out again.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, it may be appreciated that, to enhance the upgrade experience of the indoor unit 10, a breakpoint resume mechanism may be added to the indoor unit 10. Specifically, in the upgrading process of the indoor unit 10, the control module of the indoor unit 10, that is, the indoor unit MCU module 101 may suspend transmission of the parent bin file as required, until the specific operation is completed, and then continue to perform transmission, for example, after the indoor unit MCU module 101 receives an upgrade instruction sent by the user through the control app of the air conditioner 100, it is first determined whether the air conditioner 100 is in an operating state, if so, the indoor unit MCU module waits for the air conditioner 100 to perform handshake and data transmission with the server after stopping operation, and if so, the indoor unit MCU module may directly perform handshake with the server; or in the transmission process of the upgrade package, when the user regulates and controls the wind speed, the blowing angle, the timing and the operation mode of the air conditioner 100, the indoor unit MCU module 101 waits for the end of the current operation process and then continues to transmit, so that the upgrade package downloading efficiency and the stability of the indoor unit 10 can be improved.
