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.
