Software Upgrade Method, Apparatus, and System
A software upgrade method includes a vehicle-mounted terminal device that obtains upgrade requirement information of a software package and a vehicle status corresponding to the vehicle-mounted terminal device, where the upgrade requirement information indicates a first status or a second status. When the vehicle status is associated with the first status, the vehicle-mounted terminal device starts an upgrade of the software package; or when the vehicle status is associated with the second status, the vehicle-mounted terminal device determines not to start an upgrade of the software package.
1 . A method implemented by a vehicle-mounted terminal device, wherein the method comprises:
obtaining upgrade requirement information indicating a first status, in which a vehicle is allowed to perform an over-the-air (OTA) upgrade using a software package;
obtaining a vehicle status of the vehicle; and
starting, in response to the vehicle status being associated with the first status, the OTA upgrade for the vehicle using the software package.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first status indicates a geographical location of a vehicle, an environment in which the vehicle is located, or a driving status of the vehicle.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein obtaining the upgrade requirement information comprises:
receiving, from a software server, the software package, wherein the software package comprises the upgrade requirement information; and
obtaining the upgrade requirement information from the software package.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein obtaining the upgrade requirement information comprises:
sending, to a software server, request information requesting the upgrade requirement information; and
receiving, from the software server, the upgrade requirement information.
5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein receiving, the upgrade requirement information comprises receiving, from the software server, either a notification message comprising the upgrade requirement information or the software package comprising the upgrade requirement information.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein starting, in response to the vehicle status being associated with the first status, the OTA upgrade for the vehicle using the software package comprises:
requesting, in response to the vehicle status being associated with the first status and from a user, an upgrade decision about starting the OTA upgrade using an output of a human-computer interaction interface; and
starting, in response to the user agreeing to the OTA upgrade, the OTA upgrade using the software package.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein starting, in response to the vehicle status being associated with the first status, the OTA upgrade for the vehicle using comprises:
requesting, from a user and using a human-computer interacton interface, an upgrade decision about starting the OTA upgrade using the software package; and
starting, in response to the user agreeing to the OTA upgrade, the OTA upgrade using the software package.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle status being associated with the first status comprises:
the vehicle status being similar to the first status;
the vehicle status being in a status range in which the first status is used as a reference and a preset threshold is used as an offset; or
the vehicle status being the first status.
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first status is a status set comprising a plurality of statuses, and wherein the vehicle status being associated with the first status comprises:
the vehicle status being associated with a second status in the status set;
the vehicle status being associated with all statuses in the status set; or
a quantity of statuses associated with the vehicle status in the status set exceeds a quantity threshold.
10 . An apparatus, comprising
a memory configured to store instructions; and
a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the instructions cause the processor to be configured to:
obtain, upgrade requirement information indicating a first status, in which a vehicle is allowed to perform an over-the-air (OTA) upgrade using a software package;
obtain a vehicle status of the vehicle; and
start, in response to the vehicle status being associated with the first status, the OTA upgrade for the vehicle, using the software package.
11 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the first status indicates a geographical location of a vehicle, an environment in which the vehicle is located, or a driving status of the vehicle.
12 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to be configured to:
receive, from a software server, the software package wherein the software package comprises the upgrade requirement information; and
obtain, from the software package, the upgrade requirement information.
13 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to be configured to:
send, to a software server, request information requesting the upgrade requirement information; and
receive, from the software server, the upgrade requirement information.
14 . The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to be configured to, receive, from the software server, either a notification message comprising the upgrade requirement information or the software package comprising the upgrade requirement information.
15 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to be configured to:
request, in response to the vehicle status being associated with the first status and from a user, an upgrade decision about starting the OT A upgrade using an output of a human-computer interaction interface; and
start, in response to the user agreeing to the OTA upgrade, the OTA upgrade using the software package.
16 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to be configured to:
request, from a user and using a human-computer interaction interface, an upgrade decision about starting the OTA upgrade using the software package; and
start, in response to the user agreeing to the OTA upgrade using the software package.
17 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the vehicle state being associated with the first status comprises:
the vehicle status being similar to the first status;
the vehicle status being in a status range in which the first status is used as a reference and a preset threshold is used as an offset; or
the vehicle status being the first status.
18 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the first status is a status set comprising a plurality of statuses, and wherein the vehicle status being associated with the first status comprises:
the vehicle status being associated with any status in the status set;
the vehicle status being associated with all statuses in the status set; or
a quantity of statuses associated with the vehicle status in the status set exceeds a quantity threshold.
19 . A computer program product comprising computer-executable instructions that are stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium and that, wherein executed by a processor, cause an apparatus to:
obtain upgrade requirement information indicating a first status, in which a vehicle is allowed to perform an over-the-air (OTA) upgrade using a software package;
obtain a vehicle status of the vehicle; and
start, in response to the vehicle status being associated with the first status, the OTA upgrade for the vehicle using the software package.
20 . The computer program product of claim 19 , wherein the first status indicates a geographical location of a vehicle, an environment in which the vehicle is located, or a driving status of the vehicle.
