SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ASSISTING SOFTWARE UPDATE OF DOCUMENT PROCESSING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and method for assisting software update of a document processing device.

SOLUTION: Device data is first received for each networked document processing device that includes data representing the current state of the hardware and software associated with each of the networked document processing devices. Update data is then received including the identity and availability of revised software. A comparison of the update data with the device data is performed. The compatibility of the received update data is determined based on the comparison, and a display is generated representing each of the compatible document processing devices. Selection data is then received corresponding to each displayed document processing device. The revised software is thereafter communicated to each document processing device identified by the selection data. The revised software is then installed on each device to which it was communicated.
