Abstract
According to one embodiment, a system includes first and second devices. The first device detects whether a cable is connected to the first device in a first state or a second state. The first device receives, from the second device, status information indicative of whether the cable is connected to the second device in the first state or the second state. The first device switches allocation of signal lines to contact pins of a connector of the first device to which the cable is connected, based on connection states of the first and second devices. The second device detects whether the cable is connected to the second device in the first state or the second state. The second device transmits, to the first device, a result of detection as the status information.
