  • Patent number: 11955101
    Abstract: A display control device and a display control method capable of displaying a desired image regardless of a state of wireless communication are provided. A wireless control unit causes an external apparatus to draw a first image in accordance with input information. A first unit acquires the first image via the wireless communication and displays the first image on a display apparatus. A second unit causes a GPU to draw a second image in accordance with the unput information and displays the second image on the display apparatus. A switching unit determines whether a received radio wave is in a good state or a bad state, select the first unit when a determination result is that the received radio wave is in the good state, and select the second unit when the determination result is that the received radio wave is in the bad state.

  • Patent number: 11837180
    Abstract: A low-resolution image is displayed at higher resolution and afterimages are reduced. Resolution is nude higher by super-resolution processing. In this case, the super-resolution processing is performed after frame interpolation processing is performed. Further, in that case, the super-resolution processing is performed using a plurality of processing systems. Therefore, even when frame frequency is made higher, the super-resolution processing can be performed at high speed. Further, since frame rate doubling is performed by the frame interpolation processing, afterimages can be reduced.
