Abstract
A host system includes a connector having a structure connected to the device irrespective of a direction. The connector includes a plurality of pins disposed thereon. A connection direction detector is configured to detect a direction in which the device is connected to the host system by detecting a signal from at least one first pin of the plurality of pins. A setting controller is configured to receive, from the device, setting information related to a configuration supported by the device and control a configuration operation on the device based on direction information from the connection direction detection. The host system is configured to perform control such that a function module having a unique function included in the device is selectively enabled based on the setting information and the direction information.
