Abstract: A monitoring unit monitors action of a driver of a preceding adjacent vehicle and a lighting-up state of a turn signal of the preceding adjacent vehicle, using a photographed image showing the preceding adjacent vehicle, and instructs to output an alert to a driver of a vehicle when the monitoring unit detects lighting up of the turn signal without detecting the driver of the preceding adjacent vehicle taking safety check action for a lane change to a travel lane, the preceding adjacent vehicle traveling preceding the vehicle in the same direction as a travel direction of the vehicle and in a lane adjacent to the travel lane, the travel lane being a lane in which the vehicle is traveling, and the lighting up of the turn signal giving notice of a lane change to the travel lane. An alert output unit outputs the alert based on an instruction from the monitoring unit.

Abstract: An image processing device includes a multiplier 1 for multiplying a pixel signal P(x) by a weighting factor ?0 (0??0?1), a delay element 2 for delaying the pixel signal P(x) which has not been multiplied yet by the weighting factor ?0 by the multiplier 1 by one pixel, and a multiplier 3 for multiplying the pixel signal P(x?1) delayed by the delay element 2 by a weighting factor ?1 (0??1?1), the total sum of the weighting factors ?0 and ?1 being larger than 1 and smaller than an upper limit ?max. An adder 4 adds the multiplication result ?0·P(x) of the multiplier 1 and the multiplication result ?1·P(x?1) of the multiplier 3, and a limiter 5 limits the addition result P?(x) of the adder 4 in such a way that P?(x) falls within a maximum density value Pmax.

Abstract: A digital broadcasting receiver temporarily stores data about a digital broadcasting program currently being viewed and listened-to at a time when the reception state thereof is good in the form of transport packets or packets of a data broadcasting content, or in the form of a screen still image, and, when the reception state has gotten worse, plays back the stored data as an alternative image.

Abstract: An electronic program guide providing device can include editor units (31 and 32) each for updating electronic program information which has already been stored in an electronic program information storage unit (11). When each of the editor units updates the electronic program information stored in the electronic program information storage unit, it notifies a table generation unit (21) of update information on the updating at the same time. The table generation unit determines which table is to be regenerated based on the update information, and regenerates only one or more tables that need to be regenerated.
