ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a system for updating settings of an apparatus through a network. The system comprise confirmation modification request generating means generating a confirmation modification request, and confirmation modification request transmitting means adding all or a part of the installation data to the confirmation modification request and the apparatus unique data and transmits them. On the other hand, the state of the apparatus is analyzed from the apparatus unique data by apparatus state analyzing means. New installation data generating means generates new installation data consisting of analysis result data corresponding to a confirmation request and modification data corresponding to a modification request. The installation data is updated with the new installation data by installation data updating means, thereby updating the function of the apparatus, operation of the apparatus, setting of the apparatus, state of the apparatus, data version, and the like.
