1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a communication unit configured to perform communication with a specific-firmware-information transmitting apparatus and a firmware providing server through a network; and a control device, when executing processor-executable instructions, configured to:
establish a session, between the information processing apparatus and the specific-firmware-information transmitting apparatus, according to a communication protocol enabling server push;establish a connection, between the information processing apparatus and the specific-firmware-information transmitting apparatus, in the established session;acquire specific-firmware-information from the specific-firmware-information transmitting apparatus through the connection, wherein the specific-firmware-information includes at least specific-firmware location-information indicating a location of a specific firmware to update a firmware of the information processing apparatus to the specific firmware;acquire the specific firmware from the firmware providing server indicated by the specific-firmware location-information, based on the specific-firmware location-information included in the acquired specific-firmware-information; andupdate the firmware included in the information processing apparatus base on the acquired specific firmware.
