  • Patent number: 10148922
    Abstract: A display system includes a master device that displays a master image corresponding to a part of image data, and a slave device that displays a slave image corresponding to another part of the image data. The slave device includes a slave signal generation unit that starts to generate a slave timing signal at a predetermined interval with reference to a timing based on a first instruction received from the master device, a slave communication unit that transmits to the master device a completion notification indicating that a preparation for displaying the slave image is completed, and a slave display unit that displays the slave image in synchronization with the slave timing signal corresponding to a second instruction received from the master device.

  • Patent number: 10133462
    Abstract: An electronic device having a slot antenna is disclosed. The electronic device includes a main unit chassis and a display chassis. The main unit chassis includes a base cover formed of a conductor, and a keyboard and a keyboard cover formed of a dielectric. The base cover includes a slot. The display chassis is connected to the main unit chassis through a hinge. The upper surface of the display chassis is covered by a display rear cover formed of a conductor. The lower surface of the display chassis is covered by a display unit and a bezel formed of a dielectric. A slot antenna is formed in a bezel area of the display rear cover. The slot of the base cover is located at a position that opposes a slot of the slot antenna when the display rear cover of the display chassis is overlapping with the main unit chassis.

  • Patent number: 9906762
    Abstract: Configuration information indicating a positional relationship for projected images of a plurality of projectors in a multi-projection realized by the plurality of projectors is acquired. An instruction on the display screen, which displays an image according to the positional relationship is accepted. Based on the configuration information and the position in the display screen of the accepted instruction, a projector for which a setting is to be changed is specified from the plurality of projectors. A signal to change the setting of the specified projector is transmitted.
