Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus comprising: an interface unit arranged to connect a reader/writer device, wherein the reader/writer device is capable of receiving a memory storage medium; a detection unit configured to detect a connection and a disconnection between the interface unit and the reader/writer device; a management unit configured to manage identification information for identifying the memory storage medium inserted into the reader/writer device; and an unmount unit configured to set the memory storage medium to an unmounted state, wherein, in response to the detection unit detecting that the reader/writer device, to which the memory storage medium having not been set to the unmounted state by the unmount unit has been inserted, is temporary disconnected from the interface unit, the management unit manages the identification information such that the memory storage medium inserted into the reader/writer device reconnected to the interface unit can be identified by the identification information assigned before the reader/writer device is temporary disconnected from the interface unit.
