7 . The method of claim 5 , wherein before receiving the feature upgrade package, the method further comprises sending component information of each component in the terminal to the server.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the component information comprises health information of the component, and wherein before sending the component information of each component in the terminal to the server, the method further comprises:

receiving the health information of the component.

9 . An apparatus, comprising:

a memory storing programming instructions; and

at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the programming instructions to cause the apparatus to:

determine a to-be-upgraded component in a terminal;

determine upgrade feature information corresponding to the to-be-upgraded component, wherein the upgrade feature information comprises:

an upgrade feature type; and

feature description information corresponding to the upgrade feature type, wherein the feature description information comprises involved components, and wherein the involved components comprises:

the to-be-upgraded component;

a first involved component;

a second involved component;

an upgrade association relationship indicating that the to-be-upgraded component is independent of both the first involved component and the second involved component, wherein the upgrade association relationship further indicates that the first involved component is associated with the second involved component; and

an upgrade sequence relationship indicating an upgrade sequence for the first involved component and the second involved component; and

send a first feature upgrade package corresponding to the upgrade feature information to an upgrade manager in the terminal to instruct the upgrade manager to upgrade the to-be-upgraded component based on the first feature upgrade package.

10 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the feature description information further comprises at least one of a recommendation level, an involved function, an estimated upgrade duration, an upgrade reason, or an upgrade category.

11 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the programming instructions to cause the apparatus to:

receive component information from the upgrade manager; and

determine the to-be-upgraded component based on the component information.

12 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the programming instructions to cause the apparatus to:

receive an upgrade request from the upgrade manager, wherein the upgrade request requests to receive a second feature upgrade package corresponding to target upgrade feature information, wherein the target upgrade feature information is based on selection by a user from an upgrade activity notification displayed on a display device, and wherein the upgrade activity notification comprises the upgrade feature information corresponding to the to-be-upgraded component; and

send the second feature upgrade package to the upgrade manager.

13 . An apparatus, comprising:

a memory storing programming instructions; and

at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the programming instructions to cause the apparatus to:

receive, from a server, a feature upgrade package corresponding to upgrade feature information that corresponds to a to-be-upgraded component in a terminal and that is determined by the server, wherein the upgrade feature information comprises:

an upgrade feature type; and

feature description information corresponding to the upgrade feature type, wherein the feature description information comprises involved components, and wherein the involved components comprises:

the to-be-upgraded component;

a first involved component;
