PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an information processing device to which a plurality of attachable/detachable electronic apparatuses are connected, which is configured to be able to easily determine connection positions of the plurality of connected electronic apparatuses.SOLUTION: The information processing device is connected with a plurality of attachable/detachable electronic apparatuses. The electronic apparatuses comprise: transmitting means that when supplied with electric power through an electric power supply path, transmits identification information corresponding to the electronic apparatuses; and first switching means that switches between a supply state where electric power supplied from the information processing device is supplied to other electronic apparatuses to be connected to the electric power supply path through the electronic apparatus and a non-supply state where electric power is not supplied. The information processing device comprises: determining means that determines connection positions of the plurality of electronic apparatuses according to order in which the identification information is received from the plurality of electronic apparatuses; and switching control means that performs control so that first switching means equipped in the plurality of electronic apparatuses to be connected in series through the electric power supply path are sequentially switched from the non-supply state into the supply state.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】着脱可能な複数の電子機器を接続する情報処理装置において、接続された複数の電子機器の接続位置を容易に判定することができるようにする。【解決手段】情報処理装置は、着脱可能な複数の電子機器を接続する情報処理装置であって、電子機器は、電力供給経路を介して電力を供給された場合、当該電子機器に対応する識別情報を送信する送信手段と、当該電子機器を介して電力供給経路に接続される他の電子機器に対して、情報処理装置から供給される電力を供給する供給状態と、電力を供給しない非供給状態とを切り替える第１の切替手段と、を備え、情報処理装置は、複数の電子機器から識別情報を受信した順番に応じて複数の電子機器の接続位置を判定する判定手段と、電力供給経路を介して直列に接続される複数の電子機器が備える第１の切替手段を、順次に非供給状態から供給状態に制御する切替制御手段と、を備える。【選択図】図３
