Abstract:
1. An information processing system, comprising: a plurality of information processors including a first information processor and a second information processor; and a plurality of connection devices including a first connection device and a second connection device, each of the plurality of connection devices comprising a connector, each of the plurality of information processors being selectively connectable to each of the plurality of connection devices via the connector, wherein the plurality of information processors are configured to output signals through a selectively connected one of the plurality of connection devices to one or more peripheral devices connected to the selectively connected one of the plurality of connection devices, the signals being adapted for the one or more peripheral devices, the first connection device comprising: the second information processor comprising: when the first connection device is connected to the first information processor, the first switching control unit brings the first switch into a conduction state and at the same time the second switching control unit brings the second switch into a conduction state, such that signals to be supplied to the peripheral devices are outputted from the first information processor to the first connection device through a connection of the respective terminal and the first terminal via the connector, when the second connection device is connected to the second information processor, the first power control unit controls the operation of the first power circuit and at the same time the second power control unit controls the operation of the second power circuit, such that power to be supplied to the peripheral devices are outputted from the second information processor to the second connection device through a connection of the respective terminal and the second terminal via the connector, when the first connection device is connected to the second information processor, the first switching control unit opens the first switch, and when the second connection device is connected to the first information processor, the second switching control unit opens the second switch.
