Abstract: While a general-purpose interface circuit and another general-purpose interface circuit are provided so as to transmit/receive data between a host appliance and a device appliance, when the general-purpose interface of the device appliance happens to hang up, a control section transmits a reset signal via a dedicated interface circuit. When a dedicated interface circuit provided on the side of the device appliance receives this reset signal and then outputs this received reset signal to the general-purpose interface circuit, the general-purpose interface circuit is reinitiated.

The motherboard is placed far behind an opening formed by removing the front wall. The control board, daughter board and extension board are inserted into the case from the opening toward the motherboard. A first connector provided at insertion ends of the control board and extension board is connected to a first receptor mounted on the motherboard. A second connector provided at an insertion end of the daughter board is connected to a second receptor mounted on the extension board. A holder which prevents the second connector being extracted from the second receptor when the daughter board is pulled out from the case, is mounted on the extension board.

Abstract: A USB device for supplying current to a device connected thereto through a USB interface. In this USB device, current values requested by the devices are preset, as detecting current values, in detector registers of current detecting parts. The current detecting parts constantly monitor current values of electric powers supplied to the devices. Each current detecting part compares a related detecting current value with a related supplied current value. If the supplied current value exceeds the detecting current value, the current detecting part informs a current detection control part of abnormality occurrence. The current detection control part sets a bit in a no-good status register, which corresponds to the current detecting part having informed the abnormality occurrence, and interrupts a CPU. In turn, the CPU refers to the no-good status register and specifies the failure device, and interrupts a current supplying path connecting to the failure device.

Abstract: In a CPU, a FET is turned off and power is not supplied to a power supply element of a transceiver for a period of time until predetermined initialization processing, which is implemented in a peripheral device when power is supplied via a cable from a host PC, has been concluded (i.e., a period of time until it becomes possible for the peripheral device to initiate data communication with the host PC). Thus, even if the peripheral device and the host PC are physically connected by a cable, data signals transmitted along signal lines are not relayed by the transceiver to a logic controller, whereby it in effect becomes possible to set the peripheral device in a pseudo-non-connected state with respect to the host PC.
