ABSTRACT:
An apparatus, a method, and a system for controlling communications between a host device and a USB device. The apparatus includes a controller to perform an operation for communication between a first device and a second device, and a first processor to selectively stop the operation of the controller according to information indicating a status of the communication between the first device and the second device. Thus, the USB device can perform a unique function even when the USB device is connected to the host via USB.
