Electronic device connectable to network and method of information acquisition of the same

An electronic device constituted so as to be connectable to a network to which a network server is connected, said network server which is capable of maintaining an information about said electronic device connected to said network in a state where said information can be updated, said electronic device connectable to said network comprising:

• a communicators address table in which communication address information of said network server was memorized;
• a setting memory section memorizing an information verification cycle verifying update circumstances of said information;
• a network access control section controlling an access between said network and said relevant electronic device;
• a first information control table in which an access date of an information about said electronic device and an update date of an information about said electronic device were memorized;
• an update information control section communicating with said network server located in a communication address memorized in said communicators address table through use of said network access control section based on an information verification cycle memorized in said setting memory section and verifying and controlling update circumstances of an information about said electronic device based on an access date and update date memorized in said first information control table;
• means for communicating with said network server located in a communication address memorized in said communicators address table through use of said network access control section and acquiring an information about said electronic device in a case where an information about said electronic device updated was verified in said updating information control section;
• an update information memory section memorizing an acquired information about said electronic device;
• and
• a second information control table memorizing memory addresses and data sizes of said update information memory section.
