Information processing apparatus, connection device, communication device, information processing method, and program
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a processing device and a memory device encoded with computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processing device, are configured to;
receive, from a connection device having a connection terminal, entry information in which connection device identification information for identifying the connection device and communication device identification information for identifying a communication device connected to the connection terminal are associated with each other;
acquire connection device information related to the connection device based on the entry information, wherein, in a case where first entry information is stored in a storage section, and thereafter second entry information is received having connection device identification information in common with the first entry information and communication device identification information different from the first entry information, an invalid flag is set in the first entry information and the second entry information is stored in the storage section; and
transmit the connection device information to the communication device indicated by the communication device identification information, wherein the connection device comprises an outlet and the communication device comprises a plug that can be inserted into the outlet and wherein the connection device information transmitted to the communication device includes the connection device identification information and presentation information associated with the connection device identification information.

3. An information processing method, comprising:
-
receiving, from a connection device having a connection terminal, entry information in which connection device identification information for identifying the connection device and communication device identification information for identifying a communication device connected to the connection terminal are associated with each other; acquiring, by a control section, connection device information related to the connection device based on the entry information, wherein, in a case where first entry information is stored in a storage section, and thereafter second entry information is received having connection device identification information in common with the first entry information and communication device identification information different from the first entry information, the control section sets an invalid flag in the first entry information and stores the second entry information in the storage section; and transmitting the connection device information to the communication device indicated by the communication device identification information, wherein the connection device comprises an outlet and the communication device comprises a plug that can be inserted into the outlet and wherein the connection device information transmitted to the communication device includes the connection device identification information and presentation information associated with the connection device identification information.

4. A non-transitory computer-readable storage device encoded with computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processing device, implement:
-
a reception function which receives, from a connection device having a connection terminal, entry information in which connection device identification information for identifying the connection device and communication device identification information for identifying a communication device connected to the connection terminal are associated with each other; a control function which acquires connection device information related to the connection device based on the entry information, wherein, in a case where first entry information is stored in a storage section, and thereafter second entry information is received having connection device identification information in common with the first entry information and communication device identification information different from the first entry information, the control function sets an invalid flag in the first entry information and stores the second entry information in the storage section; and a transmission function which transmits the connection device information to the communication device indicated by the communication device identification information, wherein the connection device comprises an outlet and the communication device comprises a plug that can be inserted into the outlet and wherein the connection device information transmitted to the communication device includes the connection device identification information and presentation information associated with the connection device identification information.
