Abstract
In a communication system capable of automatically resetting the communication controlling ID of each device according to a change in the connection configuration of the network, the display position of the display information representing each device is controlled according to the ID information specific to each device. Thus, even in case of a change in the connection status of the plural devices, there can be achieved such control as not to change the display position of the display information representing each device, and as to display whether each device is still connected to the system, whereby the operability of the system can be improved.
