Abstract

At the power-on timing, a device search request is sent in broadcast transmission or multicast transmission from a server side device. Device search response data is transmitted from a client side device to the server side device. At the server side device receiving the device search response data, any client side device present on the network is detected. The server side device determines a client side device whose software can be updated based on the device search response data, and transmits the required-software to the client side device to request update. The client side device receives the software from the server side device to update its own software.

Description

[0001] This application is based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-166771 filed with Japan Patent Office on June 7, 2005, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to an image processing device and a software updating method in the image processing device. Specifically, the present invention relates to an image processing device that updates software of devices appearing on a network environment, and a software update method in the image processing device. Background technique [0003] Various software commonly installed in image processing devices such as MFPs (Multi Function Peripherals), copiers, and printers are mainly updated manually, such as by system administrators, service personnel, service centers connected to a network, and the like. [0004] Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 05-233309 proposes a terminal device software update method that updates software on demand by ...
