    Abstract: Enablement of backup and restoration of specific data (SD) without creating a new firmware. An electronic device includes a system control, data-acquisition, and data-restoration sections. The system-control section downloads, from an application-providing-server, an application having an SD backup-procedure and a data-restoration-procedure of the SD based on the backup-procedure and the data restoration-procedure. A storage-section stores the downloaded application. The data-acquisition section executes the application to acquire the SD. The data-restoration section executes the application to restore the SD. The system control section causes, during the backup-procedure, transmit the SD acquired by the data-actuation-section to a backup-server and delete, thereafter, the application stored in the storage device. The system control section causes, during the data-restoration-procedure, to download the SD from the backup-server to use the downloaded SD, and to delete the application after the data-restoration section completes the restoration of the SD.

    Abstract: Provided is an electronic apparatus that, even when extensions increase, acquires status information in a short time, and suppresses an increase in capacity of a storage device that stores firmware. A status-information-acquisition unit executes applications that are stored in an HDD (storage device) and downloaded from a cloud server (application-providing server), and acquires status information of each of the extensions. A system-control unit transmits the status information to a status-monitoring server, and deletes applications that are stored in the HDD (storage device). As a result, it is not necessary to re-create firmware for acquiring status information of each of the respective extensions, and it is possible to suppress an increase in the data size of applications incorporated in the firmware.

    Abstract: Provided is an installation system that easily performs management of a remote operation application. An MFP (electronic apparatus) transmits radio waves at a fixed output. A portable terminal receives the radio waves and confirms whether or not a remote operation application corresponding to the MFP (electronic apparatus) is installed in accordance with a change in strength of the radio waves according to a distance to the MFP (electronic apparatus), and in the case where the remote operation application is not installed, downloads a remote operation application corresponding to the MFP (electronic apparatus). As a result, it is possible to automatically download a remote operation application corresponding to the MFP (electronic apparatus) in accordance with a change in the strength of the radio waves according to the distance to the MFP (electronic apparatus), and unconsciously update the remote operation application.
