<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide technology reducing a possibility of forming a logical connection using a wrong interface when a peripheral device is physically connected to a host device with a connector. <P>SOLUTION: The peripheral device includes: a single connection section capable of selectively connecting to multiple types of connectors corresponding to multiple types of interfaces, and which includes a power terminal for receiving a supply of power from a host device via a connector; a control section for initiating, upon receiving a supply of power, a connection process to form a logical connection with the host device by using any one of the multiple types of interfaces; a power line connecting the control section and the terminal; and a delay process section, which is disposed along the power line, for delaying supply of power to the control section although the power is supplied from the host device to the peripheral device. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
