<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control program updating method or the like for instructing the update of one control program to automatically update the other control programs associated with this. <P>SOLUTION: This information processing system 100 is configured of an information managing device 10, an image forming device 20, and a network 30. In the information managing device 10, when a request for the update of one control program information (program A) is issued from the image forming device 20 through the network 30, whether or not the update of the control program information (program D) of the image forming device 20 is necessary is judged, and when it is judged that the update of the program D is also necessary, not only the program A whose update is requested but also the program D is updated. Therefore, only when the update of one control program information is instructed, the other control program information associated with it is automatically updated. Thus, it is possible to reduce the number of times of the updating operations of the control program, and to prevent the update of the correlative control program information from being forgotten. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
