The invention relates to an efficient configuration update method and
system of a terminal device in an
Internet of things system. The efficient configuration update method and
system of the invention are designed to improve the efficiency, reliability and
maintainability of the configuration update operation of the terminal device in
the Internet of things system. The efficient configuration update method for the terminal device in
the Internet of things system includes the following steps that: the terminal device enters an operation state; the terminal device is in communication connection with a cloud platform and receives a configuration update instruction outputted by the cloud platform or a user end, when the terminal device receives the configuration update instruction, the terminal device analyzes the configuration update instruction, the configuration instruction
queue of the terminal device is updated; the instruction
queue is scanned with a predetermined time interval, an
operating environment is modified, and the main storage configuration information of the terminal device is synchronized to an
external storage; and configuration information synchronization is performed on the cloud platform and the terminal device with predetermined
delay time. With the efficient configuration update method and system of the terminal device in
the Internet of things system of the invention adopted,
local configuration update can be realized efficiently in real time in the normal operation process of the terminal device of the
Internet of things system,
fault tolerance and error correction capabilities can be realized.
