Abstract:
A non-volatile storage device and consumer product are provided which co-operate to upgrade the software in the consumer product where the consumer product stores predetermined information regarding the consumer product on the storage device. The storage device is transferred to a computer product connected to the Internet. The predetermined information is used to acquire upgrade software from a remote server automatically without the user requiring detailed knowledge of the consumer product. The upgrade software is stored on the storage device, which is then transferred back to the consumer product. The consumer product upgrades the software using the upgrade software.
