Zusammenfassung:To provide an information processing apparatus that performs electric power supply to a cable-connected device. A transmission cable 30 includes an ID device 34 that stores information that identifies high-power electricity supply information, etc. A reception section 21 on the side of a sink device 20 can read, from the ID device 34 via a cable detection signal line 35, high-power electricity supply information of the transmission cable 30. The cable detection signal line 35 is inputted and outputted between the sink device 20 and the transmission cable 30 using a reserved pin in an existing MHL standard. Further, the cable detection signal line 35 is C-cut in each of the sink device 20 and the cable 30.
