CONNECTION RELATIONSHIP DETECTION SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND CONNECTION RELATIONSHIP DETECTION METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce cost and power consumption.SOLUTION: A connection relationship detection system includes: a plurality of modules having a plurality of connection ports to be connected other modules; and an information processing apparatus to be connected to any of the modules connected to each other, via a connection port. Each of the modules includes a connection change section which connects the connection ports in the modules, in accordance with a connection change request from the information processing apparatus. The information processing apparatus includes a connection detection section which detects a new module recognized via the above module connected by the connection change request.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 37
