Abstract
An image processing apparatus for performing an image processing operation based on execution of a control program includes a receiving unit configured to receive an updating control program, an updating unit configured to update the control program to the updating control program, and a control unit configured to inhibit the updating unit from updating the control program to the updating control program when it is determined that the updating of the control program to the updating control program by the updating unit causes loss of set information of the image processing apparatus referred to by the control program.
Claims19
An image processing apparatus for performing an image processing operation based on execution of a control program, comprising:
- a receiving unit configured to receive an updating control program;
- an updating unit configured to update the control program to the updating control program;
- and
- a control unit configured to inhibit the updating unit from updating the control program to the updating control program when it is determined that the updating of the control program to the updating control program by the updating unit causes loss of set information of the image processing apparatus referred to by the control program.
An image processing apparatus for performing an image processing operation based on execution of a control program, comprising:
- a storing unit configured to store an updating control program received from outside the apparatus;
- a determining unit configured to determine whether loss of set information of the image processing apparatus referred to by the control program is caused by updating of a control program to the updating control program stored in the storing unit;
- and
- a deciding unit configured to decide whether to update the control program to the updating control program stored in the storing unit based on determination of the determining unit.
An image processing apparatus for performing an image processing operation based on execution of a control program, comprising:
- a storing unit configured to store the control program and an updating control program;
- a determining unit configured to determine whether loss of set information of the image processing apparatus referred to by the control program is caused by updating of the control program to the updating control program;
- and
- a selecting unit configured to selectively execute one of the control program and the updating control program based on a determining result of the determining unit when the updating control program is stored in the storing unit.
A method for updating a control program in an image processing apparatus for performing an image processing operation based on execution of the control program, comprising:
- a receiving step of receiving an updating control program;
- an updating step of updating the control program to the updating control program;
- and
- a control step of inhibiting the updating step from updating the control program to the updating control program when it is determined that the updating of the control program to the updating control program in the updating step causes loss of set information of the image processing apparatus referred to by the control program.
A method for updating a control program in an image processing apparatus for performing an image processing operation based on execution of the control program, comprising:
- a storing step of storing an updating control program received from the outside in a storing unit;
- a determining step of determining whether loss of set information of the image processing apparatus referred to by the control program is caused by updating of the control program to the updating control program stored in the storing unit;
- and
- a deciding step of deciding whether to update the control program to the updating control program stored in the storing unit based on a determining result of the determining step.
A method for updating a control program in an image processing apparatus which includes a storing unit configured to store the control program and an updating control program and performs an image processing operation based on execution of the control program, comprising:
- a determining step of determining whether loss of set information of the image processing apparatus referred to by the control program is caused by updating of the control program to the updating control program;
- and
- a selecting step of selectively executing one of the control program and the updating control program based on a determining result of the determining step when the updating control program is stored in the storing unit.
A program for causing an image processing apparatus to execute a method for updating a control program in the image processing apparatus for performing an image processing operation based on execution of the control program, comprising:
- a receiving module configured to receive an updating control program;
- an updating module configured to update the control program to the updating control program;
- and
- a control module configured to inhibit the updating module from updating the control program to the updating control program when it is determined that the updating of the control program to the updating control program by the updating module causes loss of set information of the image processing apparatus referred to by the control program.
A program for causing an image processing apparatus to execute a method for updating a control program in the image processing apparatus for performing an image processing operation based on execution of the control program, comprising:
- a storing module configured to store an updating control program received from the outside in a storing unit;
- a determining unit configured to determine whether loss of set information of the image processing apparatus referred to by the control program is caused by updating of the control program to the updating control program stored in the storing unit;
- and
- a deciding module configured to decide whether to update the control program to the updating control program stored in the storing unit based on a determining result of the determining module.
A program for causing an image processing apparatus to execute a method for updating a control program in the image processing apparatus which includes a storing unit capable of storing the control program and an updating control program and performs an image processing operation based on execution of the control program, comprising:
- a determining module configured to determine whether loss of set information of the image processing apparatus referred to by the control program is caused by updating of the control program to the updating control program;
- and
- a selecting module configured to selectively execute one of the control program and the updating control program based on a determining result of the determining module when the updating control program is stored in the storing unit.
