Abstract
To perform communication more definitely and efficiently. Communication is performed by a master that is a communication device having a communication initiative and a slave that is a communication device that performs communication under control of the master. The master assigns a group address to an arbitrary slave of a plurality of slaves joining in a bus setting a plurality of arbitrary slaves to one group and setting the group to a destination, and when it is confirmed that at least one or more slaves exit from the bus of the slaves to which the group address is assigned, the group address assigned to the remaining slaves is reset. The present technology is, for example, applicable to a bus IF.
