  • Patent number: 11003285
    Abstract: A projector includes a communication section that accepts image information supplied from an image supplying apparatus, an image projection section that displays an image based on the image information on a display surface, a detector that detects a pointing position on the display surface at which a light emitting pen is pointing, a drawn image generator that generates a drawn image based on the pointing position detected by the detector, a display controller that causes the image projection section to display the drawn image, and a storage that stores the drawn image in association with the IP address. In a case where the image supplying apparatus, which supplies the communication section with the image information, is changed, the display controller reads the drawn image corresponding to the IP address of the changed image supplying apparatus from the storage and causes the image projection section to display the read drawn image.

  • Patent number: 10565891
    Abstract: A display apparatus includes: a display unit that displays a first image on a display surface; a control unit that causes the display unit to display the first image on the display surface; an object processing unit that generates a display object; and a storage unit. The control unit generates a second image by combining the display object generated by the object processing unit with the first image displayed on the display surface, and causes the display unit to display the second image. The storage unit stores first display data which represents the first image displayed on the display unit. The storage unit also stores second display data which represents the second image in association with the first display data.

  • Patent number: 9215431
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus projects and displays an image on a projection surface. The image processing apparatus includes an adjustment image producing section (an adjustment image producing section and an image analysis section) that produces an adjustment image for adjusting a focus of a projected image to be displayed on the projection surface and an imaging section that images the adjustment image projected on the projection surface. The adjustment image producing section changes the adjustment image to be produced, such that a grayscale pattern of a captured adjustment image obtained by imaging is close to a grayscale pattern of the adjustment image.
