In a keyless entry system, a CPU in an ECU and a CPU in a remote control key each have an associated memory for storing respective function formulas, which are specified by primary function formula data. With this structure, function formulas used in the remote control key and the ECU can be changed to respective new function formulas. This technique makes it difficult to predict the function formulas used in the remote control key and the ECU, thereby further reducing any regularity of rolling codes generated by the function formulas.

A compressed image data reproducing apparatus and a compressed image data reproducing method, in which a smooth reproduced image and a non-linear editing reproduction can be realized at the time when an IP picture search is executed, are provided. A storage device memorizes a structure of a data file in which intervals between an intra-coded frame and inter-coded frames of P pictures are variable as control data.

Picture data into small-area blocks, which are then shuffled. The shuffled picture data is then subjected to orthogonal transform. A total-frequency-range activity of transform coefficients is calculated on a block-by-block basis and accumulated over a slice. A high-frequency-range activity of the transform coefficients is calculated on a block-and-block basis and accumulated over the slice. Selection is made between a block quantization step which is calculated from the total-frequency-range activity of a block and a slice quantization step which is calculated adaptively from the total-frequency-range activity accumulation value of the slice. A quantization step to be used in actual quantization is determined by using the sum of the selected quantization step and a difference quantization step.
