Abstract
An electronic apparatus communicably connected to a server includes circuitry to display, on a display, an application list based on web content acquired from the server. The application list is a list of a plurality of applications available with the electronic apparatus. The plurality of applications includes at least a web application. The circuitry acquires first version information from the server. The first version information indicates a version of firmware required for the electronic apparatus to use the web application included in the application list displayed. The circuitry determines whether second version information is equal to or newer than the first version information acquired from the server. The second version information indicates a current version of firmware installed on the electronic apparatus. The circuitry updates the firmware of the electronic apparatus in response to a determination indicating that the second version information is older than the first version information.
