  • Patent number: 10373589
    Abstract: A display system includes a remote controller that includes a communication unit that transmits operation data to a projector, and an operation unit that receives an operation. The projector includes a remote controller light receiving unit that receives the operation data transmitted from the remote controller, a communication I/F unit that communicates with projectors, and a display unit that displays one setting screen selected from among a plurality of setting screens constituting a hierarchical structure in a case where the display unit is selected as an object to be set by the remote controller. The projector transmits an item identifier indicating a hierarchy of the setting screen being currently displayed to the projectors in a case where a switching instruction for switching an object to be set to the projectors is received from the remote controller during the display of the setting screen.

  • Patent number: 9939943
    Abstract: A client can return a display state of an object to the past. When a point body moves on a screen, a projector draws an object of a line representing a moving trajectory. The projector generates object data representing the object and transmits the generated object data to tablet terminals. The object data contains order information representing generation order of the object. The tablet terminals display the object represented by the transmitted object data on a touch panel. When performing an operation for returning the display, the tablet terminals return the display by object unit based on the order information contained in the object data.
