Patent number: 10564921Abstract: A display device that displays image data received from a transfer device includes a size determiner, a control information transmitter, a size adjuster, and an outputter. The size determiner determines a transmission image size as a resolution at which image data is to be transmitted by the transfer device, based on a display image size as a resolution at which the image data is to be displayed and a desired image size as a resolution at which the transfer device desires to transmit the image data. The control information transmitter transmits control information including the determined transmission image size to the transfer device. The size adjuster converts the image data received from the transfer device into image data having a resolution indicated as the display image size. The outputter displays the image data converted by the size adjuster on a screen.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2017Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: RICOH COMPANY, LTD.Inventors: Kazuhide Tanabe, Ryoh Aruga, Fumihiko Minagawa, Tatsuroh Sugioka
