Abstract

See full text

A multifunction image forming apparatus accepts voice input of a software name by an order applicant, carries out voice recognizing processing concerning the voice data of the software name that is voice input, and stores the software name recognized by the voice recognizing processing. Then, the multifunction image forming apparatus checks whether the order applicant is a person who has the authority to order the software. In a case where it is determined that the order applicant is a person who has the authority to order, order data including the recognized software name is sent to a software management server via a network. The multifunction image forming apparatus receives data of the software from the software management server, temporarily stores it, and thereafter, reads the data of the stored software, and carries out installing of the software.
