  • Publication number: 20170308350
    Abstract: An terminal apparatus includes a terminal communication section that transmits image data to a projector, an image data generating section that generates comparison result image data representing a result of comparison between a post-update image data and a pre-update image data, and an evaluation section that evaluates whether or not the comparison result image data generated by the image data generating section represents that there is no difference between the pre-update image data and the post-update image data. The evaluation section evaluates the comparison result image data whenever a frame cycle elapses in a case where the comparison result image data represents that there is difference and evaluates the comparison result image data after a period longer than the frame cycle elapses in a case where the comparison result image data represents that there is no difference between the pre-update image data and the post-update image data.

  • Publication number: 20160349948
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a setting information transmission section that transmits setting information for making a function of controlling a supply of power to a second communication section provided in a display apparatus valid or invalid to the display apparatus. The display apparatus includes a first control section that supplies power to the second communication section even when the power source of the display apparatus is turned off in a case where the setting information indicates that the function of controlling the supply of power to the second communication section is valid, and stops the supply of power to the second communication section when the power source of the display apparatus is turned off in a case where the setting information indicates that the function of controlling the supply of power to the second communication section is invalid.

  • Publication number: 20150261385
    Abstract: A function of reflecting an operation performed using a pointing element with respect to an image displayed by a display device without a function of recognizing the position of the pointing element on the image is realized. A projector as a display device displays an image corresponding to picture signals output from a portable terminal on a screen. A camera as an imaging unit of the portable terminal captures an image of the screen with a finger. The portable terminal detects a trajectory of the finger on the screen based on the captured image. The portable terminal generates an image corresponding to the detected trajectory, synthesizes the generated image and an image corresponding to image data, and generates a synthetic image. The portable terminal outputs picture signals corresponding to the generated synthetic image to the projector.

  • Patent number: 9135490
    Abstract: A projector includes: a storage unit which stores data; a dividing unit which divides the data; an encoding unit which encodes each of the divided data and order information indicating an order of the data and thus generates a plurality of code images; and a projection unit which displays the plurality of code images at a first frame rate. A tablet terminal includes: an image pickup unit which sequentially picks up images of the plurality of code images displayed by the projection unit, at a second frame rate that is higher than the first frame rate; a decoding unit which extracts and decodes the code images from pickup images; and a combining unit which combines the data decoded by the decoding unit.
