<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To restrict update of firmware, depending on a type of the firmware. <P>SOLUTION: A device can restrict update depending on a type of firmware, by switching between restricted update processing (first update processing) updating the firmware if an update ID is received from a terminal device 30 and non-restricted update processing (second update processing) updating the firmware regardless of reception of the update ID, depending on the type of first firmware 20 to execute update processing. If the first firmware 20 is the firmware of the first type, security is enhanced since the update ID is needed for its update. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
