When the function for controlling the movement of the vehicle in accordance with instructions from the external system is activated, the control device recognizes the validity of the external system by communicating with the external system and the vehicle, recognizes that encrypted communication with the external system has been established, recognizes that the user of the vehicle is permitted by the external system to move the vehicle, and recognizes that the user is an authorized user of the vehicle.

Abstract: An outside sensing information processing device for suppressing adverse influence on warning of an advanced vehicle safety system. The vehicle safety system receives position information of an object detected by another vehicle or a road, the positions of feature points of a stationary object, and configuration information of an environmental map. When the system receives the information, the position of the object on the environmental map is calculated. Another vehicle also transmits position information of itself. The present vehicle checks an error of the position information of the vehicle detected by the other vehicle from the position information of the another vehicle and the relation of the position of a feature point detected by the another vehicle and the position of the feature point detected by the present vehicle. In the case where the error is large or unstable, use of the position information from the other vehicle is avoided.

Abstract: A processor of an information processing apparatus determines, if a drawing object making up page data of a print job is a transparent object having an alpha channel as color information, whether the transparent object overlaps another drawing object. If the transparent object does not overlap the other drawing object, the processor converts drawing data of the transparent object into drawing data of a drawing object not having an alpha channel as color information. If the transparent object overlaps the other drawing object, the processor does not convert the drawing data of the transparent object into the drawing data of the drawing object not having the alpha channel as color information. Based on the converted drawing data and on the non-converted drawing data, the processor creates PDL data to be output to an image forming apparatus.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an information processing apparatus that reduces the amount of used memory necessary for alpha blending processing in a printer and enables high-speed printing processing. The present invention is an information processing apparatus including: an overlap determination unit configured to determine, in a case where a drawing object making up page data of a print job to be output to an image forming apparatus is a transparent object having an alpha channel as color information, whether the transparent object overlaps another drawing object; and a conversion unit configured to convert, in a case where the overlap determination unit determines that the transparent object does not overlap the other drawing object, drawing data of the transparent object into drawing data of a drawing object not having an alpha channel as color information.
