Abstract: The present invention provides a configuration capable of further suppressing power required for monitoring connection between devices. The device includes a controller capable of selecting an active state and a low power consumption state, and a switch device for controlling electrical connection/disconnection between an interrupt signal line and a bus in accordance with an output signal from the controller. In the low power consumption state, the controller returns to the active state when the potential appearing on the interrupt signal wiring substantially matches the potential of the bus, and after the return to the active state, provides the output signal to the switch device to electrically connect the interrupt signal wiring and the bus.

Abstract: A host-side control unit 120 receives a terminal-device-side notification value INFD indicating a second voltage V2 that is a voltage at a reference point P2 on a terminal-device-side power supply line 134 from a terminal device 130, calculates a first resistance value R1 indicating a resistance from a power supply unit 112 to the reference point P2 based on the terminal-device-side notification value INFD, a first voltage V1 output by the power supply unit 112, and a first current A1 measured by a first current measurement unit 116, and supplies the calculated first resistance value R1 to the power supply unit 112. The power supply unit 112 adjusts the first voltage V1 according to the first resistance value R1 and the first current value A1 measured by the first current measurement unit 116 at that moment so that the second voltage V2 falls within a predetermined first reference range.
