PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress sensitivity when disconnection of a communication channel is detected.SOLUTION: An information processing apparatus such as a gateway device including at least arithmetic processing means and communication means, comprises: load detection means 35 for detecting a load factor of arithmetic processing means 34; disconnection detection units 31a and 32a for detecting disconnection of a communication channel by continuation of unreceived time of a response signal, from a communication destination, received by the communication means for predetermined time; and disconnection detection sensitivity suppression units 31b and 32b for controlling the disconnection detection units 31a and 32a when the load factor detected by the load detection means 35 exceeds a set value for high load determination and suppressing disconnection detection sensitivity. Therefore, when the arithmetic processing means such as CPU is in a high load state, both various control functions and an error detection function are realized while suppressing error detection sensitivity and false detection of an error is prevented. |
