Abstract
An electronic apparatus allows communication devices to be connected thereto, and has a plug-and-play function of automatically setting a communication device to be connected. A communication monitoring module monitors the communication statuses of the communication devices connected to the electronic apparatus. A registry stores information indicative of the priorities in use of the communication devices connected to the electronic apparatus. A switching module uses a plug-and-play function to switches the communication devices such that one communication device is used exclusively, on the basis of the communication statuses of the communication devices obtained from the communication monitoring module and the information stored in the registry.
