Claim 12:
13. The IoT device management system of claim 9, further comprising:
a firmware providing device that stores a firmware of the i-th IoT device and transmits the firmware of the i-th IoT device to the i-th IoT device,
wherein the virtual device management apparatus is further configured to perform:
(g) receiving the firmware of the i-th IoT device from the firmware providing device;
(h) transmitting the firmware of the i-th IoT device to the i-th virtual device;
