An information processing apparatus includes a communication apparatus and a different communication apparatus connected to the communication apparatus via a plurality of transmission paths. The communication apparatus includes a transmitting unit and a control unit. In response to designation of a transmission path targeted for diagnosis, selected amongst the transmission paths while the communication apparatus is in a state capable of data communication with the different communication apparatus using the transmission paths, the transmitting unit transmits a test signal to the targeted transmission path while the state capable of data communication with the different communication apparatus is maintained using remaining transmission paths of the transmission paths other than the targeted transmission path. The control unit diagnoses the presence or absence of an abnormality sign in the targeted transmission path based on the result of detecting the test signal in the targeted transmission path and outputs the diagnostic result.

A method differentiates simultaneous and sequential key strokes by detecting simultaneous key strokes if two keys are pushed within a judging time T.sub.L. The method includes the steps of (a) measuring a first time T.sub.1 from a time when a first key is pushed to a time when a second key is pushed, and a second time T.sub.2 from the time when the second key is pushed to a time when one of the first and second keys is released, (b) comparing the first and second times T.sub.1 and T.sub.2 with an arbitrary threshold function T.sub.C which is set within the judging time T.sub.L, and (c) differentiating whether key strokes of the first and second keys are simultaneous or sequential based on a comparison result of the step (b).
