摘要

Model information (model ID) in a new range can be assigned to a device and acquired by a host device. A device having a model information storage unit that stores model information, and a communication unit that communicates with a device that requests model information, receives a model information request, and in response returns specific information indicating there is model information in a new range when the model information is in the new range. Model information in the new range is sent in response to a new request when a new request is received from the host device.
