Patent ID: 7204410

Claim:
An information processing system comprising a control device, a plurality of analysis devices connected to the control device, and an information storage device, wherein the control device comprises: a plurality of output terminals for outputting data that includes at least identification data and a command signal; and identification means using the identification data for discriminating among the plurality of analysis devices, which are connected to the plurality of output terminals of the control device respectively, each analysis device comprises: analysis means for analyzing the identification data and command signal outputted by the output terminal, wherein the identification data is used by each analysis device to determine whether to process the command signal; transmission means for transmitting a signal corresponding to an analysis result of the analysis means to the information storage device wherein a response corresponding to the signal can be outputted; reception means for receiving the response outputted from the information storage device; and transfer means for transferring a signal corresponding to the response received by the reception means to the control device, wherein each analysis device is further used for converting data received from the control device into a format suitable for the transmission means and for converting the response from the reception means into a format suitable for the control device, and wherein the information storage device comprises: storage means for storing predetermined information; and response transmission means for receiving the signal transmitted by the transmission means and corresponding to the analysis result, for reading out information corresponding to the signal from the storage means, and for transmitting it as the response to at least one of the analysis devices, wherein the information storage device performs transfer of data to said analysis device by using wireless communication.
