Problems solved by technology

[0012] It can be seen from the file update process of the above-mentioned existing mobile terminal that when the file needs to be updated, the client needs to download the complete target version, which consumes more network traffic and takes up more bandwidth. At the same time, downloading the target version for a long time is not conducive to user experience

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and apparatus for file updating, and associated equipment. After a receiving client sends an updating request containing a current version identifier and a target version identifier of a to-be-updated file, an increment updating packet needed for updating from the current version to the target version of the to-be-updated file is determined; and the determined increment updating packet is sent to the client. In the prior art, the complete target version is completely sent to the client; however, according to the invention, because the increment updating packet is sent to the client when the client needs to carry out file updating, the client does not need to download the complete file, thereby substantially reducing network flow consumption and the download time. In addition, when the client uses the increment updating packet to carry out updating on the to-be-updated file, updating of differences between the current version and the target version is only carried out at the current version without the need for current version unloading and target version installation, thereby substantially reducing the file updating time.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a file updating method, device and related equipment. Background technique [0002] In the era of mobile Internet, with the wide application of mobile terminals, a large number of applications based on mobile terminals have emerged on the market. With the emergence of these applications, there is a demand for application updates, such as application software, theme package files, and system plug-in updates. Taking an intelligent mobile terminal whose system is Android as an example, the application file is an APK (Android Package, Android installation package) type file, and the update process of the file is as follows figure 1 shown, including the following steps: [0003] S101. When a user of a mobile terminal installed with client software wants to update a certain file to be updated, the client will read the current version number of the file to be upd...
