A parking space search device includes an input receiver, and a controller. The input receiver receives, from an object detector mounted on a vehicle, information related to an object present at a travel direction-side with respect to the vehicle. The controller estimates a parking lot based on the information that the input receiver receives. The controller performs control of, when the estimated parking lot is on one of a left direction and a right direction with respect to the travel direction of the vehicle, shifting a travel route of the vehicle to another one of the left direction and the right direction. The controller searches for a parking space for the vehicle based on the information that the input receiver receives after the travel route of the vehicle is shifted.

In the use of a touch panel which vibrates in synchronization with a touch operation, discomfort caused by a panel vibration sound is reduced while an operational feeling of a touch operation on the touch panel being maintained. A vibration control device used for an electronic apparatus which includes a touch panel that vibrates in synchronization with a touch operation and a vibrating source that is different from the touch panel, includes a predominant frequency acquirer that acquires a main component of a vibrational frequency of the vibrating source as a predominant frequency of vibrations of the vibrating source; a consonant sound determiner that determines a consonant sound frequency based on the acquired predominant frequency, the consonant sound frequency being a frequency of a sound which is in consonant with a sound having the acquired predominant frequency; and a vibrational frequency setter that sets a vibrational frequency of the touch panel to the determined consonant sound frequency.

From a remote control device, a pairing command including an authentication key is transmitted to a slave device by an infrared ray remote control signal by first depression of a push button. The slave device transmits an authentication key, which is generated based on the received authentication key, through a wireless LAN. By second depression of the push button, the remote control device transmits a pairing command, which includes an authentication key, to a master device by an infrared ray remote control signal. The master device compares the authentication key, which is received through the wireless LAN, and the authentication key, which is received by the infrared ray remote control signal, with each other, and transmits a pairing authorization to the slave device through the wireless LAN if both of the authentication keys coincide with each other. The slave device receives the pairing authorization, and establishes pairing.

An interpreteroutputs a drawing request to an animation controller upon interpreting an animation drawing instruction defined with use of a predetermined script variable. The animation controlleranimation-displays a GUI by executing a program module described in a native language. Upon receiving the drawing request, the animation controllerconverts the script variable into a native variable in the form of the native language, and animation-displays the GUI while sequentially updating the native variable.

A video output device outputs a plurality of video streams with use of shutter glasses, and dynamically switches between different videos such that in the case where a plurality of viewers are viewing a video output by the video output device, only a viewer who is operating a remote control can view a video stream different from a video stream other viewers are viewing. Operation signals instructing to start or terminate an operation mode are received. In an operation mode, time-sharing output of a first video stream and a second video stream is performed, and synchronizing signals each in synchronization with a time-sharing timing are transmitted. In a normal mode, images that are each generated based on any of images constituting the first video stream are output, and images constituting the second video stream are not output.

The present invention provides an information processor and an information processing method, which reduces the memory capacity and utilizes a free space in a memory area as a cache area for EPG. This information processor includes a program obtaining means a program storage means which has plural storage areas, a program execution means a selection information updating means that stores execution memory information indicating a storage area which contains a program to be executed by the program execution means compression information which indicates compression states of programs stored in the storage areas, and memory relation information which indicates the relation of the plural storage areas, a program execution area switching means for selecting one of the storage areas on the basis of the execution memory information, a storage area switching means for selecting one of the storage areas on the basis of the information in the selection information updating means a program writing means a program compression means a program restoration means for restoring a program which has been compressed by the program compression means and a memory information updating means for updating information stored in the selection information updating means

Information processor and information processing method

A code export symbol offset table A stores sets of the identifier and the offset of the area of a code symbol. In an export symbol import step the identifier that matches the identifier of a symbol is retrieved from the code export symbol offset table A the offset corresponding to the retrieved identifier is extracted, and a predetermined calculation is performed to create an absolute address.
