Abstract
A second program, which becomes inoperable as a result of updating of a first program and operates using the first program, is updated to an operable version using an appropriate update data file. When the version of the second program is not a version operable on the first program, one or more update data files including a full update data file which fully updates the second program to a version of the second program operable on the first program are determined as the update data files. When the version of the second program is a version operable on the first program, one or more differential update data files which do not include any full update data file and update some data files of the second program are determined as the update data files.
