Abstract: An image processing system includes an image coding device serving as a host device that outputs image data, and an image decoding device serving as a client device and including a display part that displays an image based on image data transmitted from the image coding device. The image coding device includes an image quality controller that controls the image quality of an image displayed on the display part in accordance with an operation status A of the image processing system. When the operation status is a status under which a delay of displaying an image which is caused by transmission of image data from the image coding device to the image decoding device is allowed, the image quality controller increases the image quality of an image displayed on the display part.

The game apparatus is capable of wirelessly communicating with the image output device and is connected via wiring to another display device different from the display device connected to the image output device. The game apparatus performs a game process and generates an image based on the game process. The generated image is displayed on the display device connected to the game apparatus. The generated image is also transmitted to the image output device. The image output device receives the image transmitted by the game apparatus. The image output device outputs the received image to the display device on which the image is displayed.

Abstract: An example game system includes a home-console type game device, a controller device, and a portable display device. The portable display device includes an infrared emitter capable of emitting infrared light. The controller device wirelessly transmits to the game device operation image data from an image-capturing section, inertia sensor data, and operation button data. The game device receives the operation data from the controller device, and performs game processes based on the operation data. Moreover, the game device compresses first game images, which are generated based on the game processes, to generate compressed image data. The compressed image data is wirelessly transmitted to the portable display device. The portable display device receives the compressed image data from the game device, expands the compressed image data to obtain the game images, and displays the game images.
