Abstract:
1. An information processing device, comprising: a signal receiving portion that receives a signal in the form of an eye pattern in which input data that contains first and second bit values that differ from one another is encoded such that the first bit value is expressed by a plurality of first amplitude values and the second bit value is expressed by a plurality of second amplitude values that differ from the first amplitude values, the input data also being encoded such that a same amplitude value does not occur twice in succession and such that polarities of the first amplitude values and the second amplitude values are inverted with each cycle; an absolute value conversion portion that converts into absolute values the amplitude values of the signal that has been received by the signal receiving portion; and an input data decoding portion that decodes the input data by determining the first and second bit values based on the amplitude values in the signal that have been converted into absolute values by the absolute value conversion portion.
