  • Publication number: 20160261905
    Abstract: A video display system that transmits a video from a video transmission device equipped with neither a display unit nor an operation unit for realizing a user interface to a video reception and display device according to a video radio transmission standard for transmitting a video through one-to-one direct radio communication and performs display. The video transmission device includes a connection control unit configured to control establishment of first connection for connecting the video transmission device and the video reception and display device according to the video radio transmission standard and second connection for connecting the video transmission device and the video reception and display device peer-to-peer prior to the establishment of the first connection. The connection control unit starts processing of the second connection according to any one of a request from the video reception and display device and occurrence of an opportunity in the video transmission device.
