摘要

The configuration of an authentication system is characterized in that an authentication unit (32) of a notebook-sized personal computer (10) is directly connected to an authentication unit (42) of a battery (20) via I/O ports (51, 61). Accordingly, the authentication system can be realized comparatively easily by using a conventional system. The present invention can be applied to a system formed by a plurality of electronic devices performing authentication.
