Abstract
According to an embodiment, an update control apparatus is to control update of software in a terminal connected to a network. The update control apparatus includes a first communication circuit, a second communication circuit, and a processor. The first communication circuit is configured to communicate with a server located outside the network. The second communication circuit is configured to communicate with the terminal through the network. The processor is configured to: receive update data to update the software from the server using the first communication circuit; transmit the update data to the terminal, as well as receive an update result indicating whether update of the software has succeeded, together with verification data, from the terminal using the second communication circuit; and verify, using the verification data, whether the update result is proper data.
