  • Publication number: 20090207132
    Abstract: A display device includes: a mute deciding unit that decides whether mute designation for an image has been changed; a displaying side communication unit that receives image information from an image feeding device and that if the mute designation has been changed from invalidation to validation, transmits suspension-of-feed instructing information to the image feeding device; and a displaying side display unit that displays an image on the basis of the image information and that if the mute designation has been changed from invalidation to validation, ceases display of the image.

  • Publication number: 20090015515
    Abstract: A display system displays a received image on a display device based on image information transmitted from at least one image supply device via a network. An image generating unit generates a segmented image segmented into plural individual areas, the segmented image contains an individual connection image representing connection information for the image supply device to connect to the display device in an area correlated to one individual area of the plural individual areas. A determining unit determines whether connection is permitted or not based on the connection request information. When connection to the image supply device is permitted by the determining unit, the image generating unit generates the segmented image containing the received image based on the image information from the image supply device in the individual area.

  • Publication number: 20080226182
    Abstract: There is provided a method of determining an optimal image transmission method when image data is transmitted from an image supplying device 1 and 1? to an image display device 2 and 2?, the method including: before the image data is transmitted after a transmission path from the image supplying device 1 and 1? to the image display device 2 and 2? is established, determining the image transmission method on the basis of correspondence table, which is previously prepared, such that the optimal image transmission method according to at least one of transmission path information and capability of the image display device 2 and 2? acquired by the image supplying device 1 and 1? is derived.

  • Publication number: 20070230561
    Abstract: An image supply device to be connected to an image display device via a predetermined transmission channel, for supplying the image display device with an image signal by transferring the image signal to the image display device via the transmission channel, thereby making the image display device display an image represented by the image signal, includes a transfer rate derivation section that derives a transfer rate of the image signal when transferring the image signal to the image display device via the transmission channel, and a compression method determination section that determines a compression method of the image signal when supplying the image display device with the image signal by transferring the image signal to the image display device via the transmission channel based on the transfer rate derived in the transfer rate derivation section.
