VEHICLE UPGRADE PACKET PROCESSING METHOD AND APPARATUS

A method and an apparatus for processing an upgrade package of the vehicle. The method includes: A first terminal (121) receives one or more first data blocks from a server (11), where the first data block is used for vehicle upgrading (SI 01); the first terminal (121) obtains one or more second data blocks from a second terminal (122), where the second data block is used for upgrading a vehicle, and the second data block is sent by the server (11) to the second terminal (122) (S102); and the first terminal (121) obtains the upgrade package of the vehicle based on the first data block and the second data block (S103). To be specific, the server (11) may divide the upgrade package of the vehicle into a plurality of data blocks, and then deliver the plurality of data blocks to a plurality of terminals. Then, each terminal may obtain an upgrade package of the vehicle in a peer-to-peer manner based on a data block that has been received by the terminal and a data block obtained by the terminal from another terminal. In this process, none of the terminals need to obtain the complete upgrade package of the vehicle from an OTA server. Therefore, load of the OTA server can be reduced.
