Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus comprising: an interface unit configured to connect a reader/writer device into which a memory card can be inserted and from which the memory card can be detached; a detection unit configured to detect, as detection result, a connection and then a disconnection between the interface unit and the reader/writer device, and a reconnection of the reader/writer device to the interface unit after the reader/writer device is temporarily disconnected from the interface unit; an unmount unit configured to set the memory card to an unmounted state; a display unit configured to display information representing the disconnection between the interface unit and the reader/writer unit that is detected by the detection unit; and a control unit configured to control the display unit, wherein the control unit controls, in response to the detection unit detecting that the reader/writer device is temporarily disconnected from the interface unit, the display unit not to display information about the temporary disconnection of the reader/writer device from the interface unit, wherein the temporary disconnection is a temporary electrical disconnection between the reader/writer device and the interface unit resulting from an event external to the interface unit and the reader/writer device, and wherein the event is noise in an electric signal between the interface unit and the reader/writer device that temporarily brings an electrical connection between the interface unit and the reader/writer device to an abnormal state during which the information processing apparatus cannot recognize the reader/writer device, and wherein the reader/writer device remains physically connected to the interface unit via a cable.
