To perform communication more definitely and efficiently. In order to perform communication in which a group address is used setting a plurality of arbitrary slaves to a single group and setting the group to a destination, a slave having a group-belonging capability capable of belonging to the group and performing communication is recognized. Then, in a state in which a slave having the group-belonging capability and a slave having no group-belonging capability mixedly join in a bus, the group address is assigned to the slave recognized to have the group-belonging capability. The present technology is, for example, applicable to a bus IF.
