Abstract: Even in the case of displaying operation display information, an image to be displayed on a display screen is prevented from being difficult to see, and an operation input by using the operation display information is always appropriately conducted. A display device receives an information signal from a base device, and displays main display information that is an image derived from a display signal of the information signal on an LCD. In the case where the display device displays a control panel for accepting an operation input from a user on the LCD, the display device controls a size change processor so that a size and a position of display of the main display information is so changed as not to overlap with display of the control panel.

Abstract: An information processing system may include first apparatus and second apparatus coupled to each other through communications means. The first apparatus may include a transmitting/receiving unit effecting two-way communications with the second apparatus, and a control unit that transmits data corresponding to the operating signal from the transmitting/receiving unit to the second apparatus in response to an operating signal transmitted from the second apparatus, and to perform control of the first apparatus. The second apparatus may include a transmitting/receiving unit effecting two-way communications with the first apparatus, a display displaying an image based on the data transmitted from the first apparatus, and a control unit that displays, on a screen of the display, a first operating image for operating the first apparatus and a second operating image for operating a menu screen related to the first apparatus, in response to a remote controller signal supplied from a remote controller.

Abstract: An information communication system for performing bidirectional communication over a network, which may include a terminal apparatus, a base apparatus, and a memory supplied in at least one of the base apparatus and the terminal apparatus. A terminal control unit in the terminal apparatus may cause a transmission of a remote-control code information when the remote-control code information generated in the terminal apparatus matches identification information corresponding to a selected external, or a base control unit in the base apparatus may supply the remote-control code information to a remote-control transmission signal generation unit in the base apparatus when the remote-control code information supplied from the terminal apparatus matches identification information corresponding to a selected external device.

Abstract: When a remote-control signal reception portion receives an input to direct take-in of an image, a capture-processing portion captures, if the input to direct the take-in is received through the receiving device, an image signal that forms the display image to be displayed on the display portion as digital data. The digital data is stored in an external memory. In this case, a reduced image of an image corresponding to the currently captured digital data and at least one reduced image of the images corresponding to digital data captured in the memory in the past are displayed for a predetermined lapse of time at a predetermined display region in one portion on a display screen. The captured images may be respectively displayed and character-recognized character information contained in the displayed image as display information may be also utilized.
