发明名称 Management device for causing devices to update programs and computer readable media
摘要 A management device may be connected with first and second devices via a network. The management device may acquire “m” programs that are to be updated in the first device and “n” programs that are to be updated in the second device, from a server. Each of “m” and “n” may be an integer greater than or equal to 2, the “m” programs may include first and second programs, and the “n” programs may include a third and a fourth programs. The management device may transmit the first program to the first device and transmit the third program to the second device. The management device may, after completion of the transmitting the first program and the third program, transmit the second program to the first device and transmit the fourth program to the second device.

主权项 1. A management device comprising: a processor; a memory having computer-readable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the management device to perform steps comprising: acquiring “m” programs that are to be updated in a first device and “n” programs that are to be updated in a second device, from a server via a network, wherein “m” is an integer greater than or equal to 2, “n” is an integer greater than or equal to 2, the “m” programs include a first program and a second program, and the “n” programs include a third program and a fourth program, wherein the acquiring step further includes acquiring first period information and second period information from the server, wherein the first period information relates to a period for the first device to complete an update of the first program, and the second period information relates to a period for the second device to complete an update of the third program;determining an order for transmitting the m and n programs to be updated based on information about the m and n programs to be updated;determining a standby period based on the first period information and the second period information;transmitting the first program to the first device and transmitting the third program to the second device according to the determined order;waiting for the standby period to lapse from a time after transmission of a last one of the first program and the third program to be transmitted according to the determined order; andtransmitting the second program to the first device and transmitting the fourth program to the second device according to the determined order, after the standby period has lapsed.
