[0037] figure 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the equipment management system 100 according to the first embodiment. Such as figure 1 As shown in , the equipment management system 100 includes an equipment management apparatus 200 and equipment 300-1 to equipment 300-N (N is a natural number greater than or equal to 2).

[0038] The device management apparatus 200 and the devices 300 - 1 to 300 -N are connected to each other via the network 10 . The network 10 can be realized by, for example, the Internet or a local area network (LAN). The operating form of the device management system 100 may be cloud computing or on-premise.

[0039] In the following description, when there is no need to distinguish the devices 300 - 1 to 300 -N from each other, the devices 300 - 1 to 300 -N may be simply referred to as the device 300 .

[0040] The equipment management apparatus 200 manages the equipment 300 via the network 10 . For example, one or more ...

[0151] The second embodiment describes an example in which the power supply of the device to which the update program could not be introduced or the operation cannot be guaranteed is interrupted. The difference between the first embodiment and the second embodiment will be mainly described below. Components having functions related to those in the first embodiment are denoted by terms and the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment, and redundant descriptions will be omitted.

[0152] Figure 22 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the equipment management apparatus 1200 and the equipment 1300 according to the second embodiment. Such as Figure 22 As shown in , the second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that: the device management apparatus 1200 includes a power interruption request unit 1289 , and the device 1300 includes a power interruption unit 1359 .

Abstract

A device management apparatus includes an updating program acquisition unit for acquiring an updating program for updating a device; an updating program transmission unit for transmitting the updating program to the updating device; a introduction success / failure information reception unit for receiving introduction success / failure information indicating whether the updating program is successfully introduced, from the device; a verification program acquisition unit for acquiring, if the introduction success / failure information indicates success in introduction, a verification program for verifying an operation of the device updated with the updating program; and a verification unit for verifying whether the operation of the updated device can be guaranteed based on the verification program.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an equipment management device, an equipment management system and a verification method. Background technique [0002] Generally, there is a known technique of distributing an update program from a device management apparatus that manages devices to a device that is a management target, and importing the update program into the device that is a management target, thereby updating the device. As such a technique, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2013-145504 discloses distributing firmware from a distribution device to devices to be updated with firmware. [0003] However, in the related art described above, the operation of the device is not verified after the update program is introduced, so it cannot be determined whether the operation of the device updated with the update program can be guaranteed. [0004] In view of such circumstances, the present invention has an object of providing a d...
