  • Patent number: 11172175
    Abstract: A projector includes: a determination unit determining whether a daisy chain function executed by the projector when daisy-chained to another device is set as enabled or not; and a setting unit setting a display source to which an image signal to be a source of an image displayed by the projector is inputted, to one of the plurality of interfaces. The setting unit sets a supporting interface supporting the daisy-chaining as the display source when it is determined by the determination unit that the daisy chain function is set as enabled. The setting unit does not change the display source to an interface other than the supporting interface even when the image signal is not inputted to the supporting interface.

  • Publication number: 20210304700
    Abstract: A control method for a projector that includes a microphone accepting a speech-based operation and a remote control light receiving unit or an operation panel accepting a non-speech-based operation is provided. When the microphone accepts a speech-based operation, a first operation mode is executed and a first setting UI showing that processing corresponding to the speech-based operation is executed is displayed. When the remote control light receiving unit or the operation panel accepts a non-speech-based operation, a second operation mode is executed and a second setting UI that can be operated by a non-speech-based operation accepted by the remote control light receiving unit or the operation panel is displayed. The processing corresponding to the speech-based operation accepted by the microphone is not executed while the second setting UI is being displayed.

  • Publication number: 20210304653
    Abstract: An image display system includes: a display device; an image supply device coupled to the display device in such a way as to be able to bidirectionally communicate and supplying an image signal; and an operation terminal having a plurality of operation buttons. The operation terminal transmits an operation signal in response to an operation on the operation button. The display device displays a first image supplied from the image supply device and a second image generated by the display device. On receiving the operation signal, the display device decides a degree of priority of the first image and the second image. The display device transmits a signal to stop updating the first image to the image supply device and executes processing based on the second image when the degree of priority of the second image is higher than the degree of priority of the first image.
