Detailed Description

In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in further detail below.

As shown in fig. 1, it is a schematic structural diagram of a video network, wherein the overall network structure of the video network is formed by connecting a plurality of substructures called autonomous clouds. Autonomous clouds exhibit a distinct hierarchical structure when interconnected: each autonomous cloud can be connected with a plurality of autonomous clouds on the next layer from the top autonomous cloud, the autonomous clouds on the lower layer are connected with the autonomous clouds on the next layer, and the all the autonomous clouds are connected layer by layer in the mode to form a complete video network. This hierarchy is a standard tree structure. Each autonomous cloud is a node in the tree, and the whole video network is a tree formed by the nodes of the autonomous clouds.

At present, in the video network, the video network server corresponding to each upgrade program file can only be distinguished by the file name of the upgrade program file, and this method has great hidden danger and low security, and once the file name of the upgrade program file is tampered or confused, an event that the upgrade package of the S6 server is upgraded to the S3 server is likely to occur, so that the upgrade of the video network server fails, and even the video network fails.

In order to solve the technical problem, embodiments of the present invention provide a device upgrading method, apparatus, device and readable storage medium.

As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus upgrading method, which is applied to a sub-control server in a video network, where the video network includes a network management server and a plurality of sub-control servers, and the method specifically includes the following steps:

s101: and receiving an upgrading program file sent by the network management server.

The upgrade program file is a file for device upgrade, and may be a dsp file or an fpag file, which is not limited specifically. In the embodiment of the present invention, the upgrade program file may be encapsulated in a VPKG format.

The VPKG format is a package file format, the package file can be used for storing various formatted information, the data is stored and represented by adopting a text format completely independent of a programming language, the hierarchical structure is simple and clear, the reading and the writing are easy, and the machine analysis and the generation are easy at the same time, so that the network transmission efficiency can be effectively improved.

As shown in table 1, the VPKG format of the upgrade program file is shown.

Table 1 VPKG format of upgrade program file

Field(s)	Length of	Description of the invention
			Constant value	4 bytes	The value being the character "VPKG"
Upgrade procedureOrder document	Length of indefinite length	Program for updating specific device

Besides the constant value, other information of the upgrade program file is defined in an element mode, and each element is composed of three parts of type, length and data. The type part of the element is used for distinguishing the format of the data part, the length part represents the number of bytes of the data part, and the data part is the content actually stored by the element.

Specifically, the type part of the element is 1 byte in length, and its definition and corresponding data part format are shown in table 2 below.

Table 2 definition of element types and corresponding data part formats

The object type and the data part are composed of a plurality of element pairs, and nesting of elements is achieved. Each pair of elements may represent a pair of key and value. The type of the 1 st element can only be "string" for representing the key of the element pair. The type of the 2 nd element is arbitrary and is used to indicate the value of the element pair. "byte string," this type is used to store binary data of any byte length. "string," store UTF8 characters. The "numeric string" stores numeric values in the form of a character string. This ensures that no information is lost, but increases storage space. "Special value", three values defined in the type, "null", "false", "true" type, and other special values may be defined if necessary.

The length part format of the element is shown in table 3.

Length part format of table 3 elements

The format of the upgrade program file may be:

“dev_app_file”:{

"logdev _ type": string: the logical device type ",

"phydev _ type": string: the physical device type ",

"file _ id": string of numbers: the file sequence number,

"file _ format": the file format,

"file _ version": the file version number ",

"file _ length": string of numbers: the length of the file,

"file _ time": string: the file time,

"file _ hash" object: verification data "

"file _ name": string: the name of the file,

"file _ data": document data "

}

Wherein, the file _ data is a byte string for storing the real sub-control server upgrading program. The combinations of the logical device type, the physical device type, the file serial number, and the file format of the currently supported slave servers are shown in table 4.

Table 4 information correspondence table between character string and slave control server

The file version number formats are unified as "a.b.c yy.mm.dd.hh", where YY represents the last two digits of a year, MM represents month, DD represents date, hh represents hour, represents release date. A.b.c denotes a specific version, such as 1.2.7, etc. The file time is the modification time of the file and is in a format of YYYY-MM-DD hh: MM: ss. Where YYYY represents year, MM represents month, DD represents date, hh represents hour, MM represents minute, and ss represents second.

In the embodiment of the invention, the sub-control server receives the signature file sent by the network management server before receiving the upgrading program file sent by the network management server, then the signature file needs to be verified, if the verification is successful, the signature of the sub-control server is returned to the network management server, so that the network management server verifies the signature of the sub-control server, and the upgrading program file is sent after the verification is successful.

Therefore, the identity authentication between the control server and the network management server can be realized, and the possibility of transmission errors of the upgrade program file is further reduced.

In one implementation, the signature file includes filename information and length information of the upgrade program file, that is, after the sub-control server successfully verifies the signature file, filename information and length information of the upgrade program file are obtained, which is beneficial to further verifying the received upgrade program file and reducing the possibility that the sub-control server upgrades the upgrade program file according to the wrong upgrade program file. The type of the signature algorithm may be the national secret "sm 2".

Moreover, under the condition that the signature file comprises the length information of the upgrading program file, the sub-control server can allocate a storage space for the upgrading program file according to the length of the upgrading program file in the signature file after the signature file is successfully verified.

Therefore, the utilization rate of system resources can be improved, redundant allocation is reduced, the effect of verifying the received upgrading program file can be achieved, and if the received upgrading program file is too large or too small, the upgrading program file is indicated to be wrong.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the signature file may also be encapsulated in VPKG format. As shown in table 5, the VPKG format of the signature file.

Table 5 VPKG format of signature file

Field(s)	Length of	Description of the invention
			Constant value	4 bytes	The value being the character "VPKG"
Signature file	Length of indefinite length	Verifying whether a particular document has been tampered with

The format of the signature file may be:

“file_signature”:{

"file _ name": string: the name of the file,

"file _ length": string: the length of the file,

"signature _ data": object: signature data "

}

“signature_data”:{

"type": string: the type of algorithm,

"data": byte string: the signature data,

}

in this step, after receiving the upgrade program file sent by the network management server, hash verification may be performed on the upgrade program file, and if the hash verification is successful, a step of reading the logical device type and the physical device type corresponding to the upgrade program file from the upgrade program file is performed.

If the hash verification fails, the sub-control server can generate and store an error log and send an upgrade error message to the network management server.

The Hash verification is a set of verification system designed for ensuring the correctness of an upgrading program file, preventing some people from stealing programs, adding trojans or tampering copyrights. Specifically, each upgrade program file can calculate the MD5 code corresponding to the upgrade program file by using a Hash MD5 algorithm, the sending end can calculate and disclose the MD5 code of the upgrade program file in advance, after the receiving end receives the upgrade program file, the receiving end calculates the MD5 code of the received upgrade program file by using the same algorithm and compares the MD5 code with the MD5 code disclosed by the sending end, and if the two codes are different, the upgrade program file received by the receiving end is incomplete or is manually operated by others.

The hash verification algorithm types include two types, namely "md 5" and "sm 3", and the corresponding signature data formats are as follows:

“file_hash”:{

“type”:“md5”,

"hash": byte string: the hash value of the file,

}

“file_hash”:{

“type”:“sm3”,

"hash": byte string: the hash value of the file,

}

the file hash value is a hash value calculated by using a standard algorithm on a file, wherein the length of the file hash value in the MD5 algorithm is 16 bytes, and the length of the file hash value in the SM3 algorithm is 32 bytes.

S102: and reading the logic device type and the physical device type corresponding to the upgrading program file from the upgrading program file.

In an implementation manner, the signature file includes file name information and length information of the upgrade program file, then, after receiving the upgrade program file sent by the network management server, the sub-control server can judge whether the file name and length of the upgrade program file are the same as the file name information and length information included in the signature file, and if so, then execute a step of reading a logical device type and a physical device type corresponding to the upgrade program file from the upgrade program file.

Therefore, the received upgrading program file can be preliminarily verified according to the file name and the length of the upgrading program file, the verification efficiency is improved, and the possibility that the sub-control server upgrades according to the wrong upgrading program file is reduced.

S103: and judging whether the logic device type and the physical device type are matched with the sub-control server, and if so, executing S104.

In one implementation, if the logical device type and the physical device type are not matched with the sub-control server, the sub-control server may generate and store an error log, and send an upgrade error message to the network management server. Therefore, the network management server can monitor the equipment upgrading process in time, timely solve the problems and improve the equipment upgrading efficiency.

S104: and upgrading according to the upgrading program file.

In one implementation, after upgrading according to the upgrade program file, the sub-control server may send an upgrade success message to the network management server.

Therefore, the identity authentication between the control server and the network management server can be realized, and the possibility of transmission errors of the upgrade program file is further reduced.

The upgrade program file and the signature file can be obtained by the network management server from the network management client, and the network management client can interact with the user to obtain the input information of the user.

In addition, if the network management server detects any new sub-control server accessed to the video network, the corresponding logical device type and physical device type can be returned to the sub-control server newly accessed to the video network. In this way, the network management server can store the logical device type and the physical device type of each sub-control server in the video network, and each sub-control server can determine the logical device type and the physical device type of the sub-control server.
