Abstract: A demarcation line candidate recognizing unit recognizes demarcation line candidates which are candidates for a pair of right and left demarcation lines demarcating a lane based on edge points having predetermined continuity in an image captured by a camera. A demarcation line candidate modifying unit excludes edge points whose corresponding positions in a real space are a predetermined distance or more away from the camera in the case where parallelism between the pair of right and left demarcation line candidates recognized by the demarcation line candidate recognizing unit is equal to or less than a predetermined level and re-recognizes the pair of right and left demarcation line candidates based on the edge points having predetermined continuity among the edge points which have not been excluded.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for dynamically adjusting DC offset at the time of deviation from DC balance ½ (DC level) in a data pattern including long-period consecutive bits generating DC offset in a section of data. A receiver circuit unit of an LSI having a serializer/deserializer arrangement for performing high-speed serial transmission includes an offset adjusting circuit. The offset adjusting circuit calculates DC balance in an arbitrary section of data by averaging received serial data. Based on comparison between a DC level and the DC balance obtained by averaging the received data, offset is shifted toward the H side when the DC balance exists on the H side from the DC level, and shifted toward the L side when the DC balance exists on the L side.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus for operating a vehicle, when the vehicle is running, and an application is instructed through voice. An in-running operation acceptance/denial list is produced, i.e., a list of words meaning an operation to be inhibited from being executed during the time when the vehicle is running. A command acceptance/denial executing portion of the onboard apparatus determines if the command corresponding to the content, which a user speaks, can be operated or not, during the time when the vehicle is running, by referring this list and a title of the command operable through voices included in the application, and when the vehicle is running, an execution of that command is instructed to an application controller portion, if being determined operable, by referring to a running condition of the vehicle, and if being determined inoperable, the execution of that command is not instructed to the application controller portion.
