Abstract

According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a memory, and a processor. The processor is connected to the memory to acquire display information including an object and, when an amount of depth or pop-out of the object to be displayed in space using the display information including the object exceeds an amount of depth or pop-out set displayable to a first display device capable of stereoscopic display at a time of stereoscopically displaying the display information on the first display device, to display the exceeding area in a display form different from a display form included in the display information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a memory;
a first hardware interface configured to connect a first display device that is capable of stereoscopic display;
a second hardware interface configured to connect a second display device that does not perform stereoscopic display; and
a processor connected to the memory, configured:
to acquire display information comprising an object,
to display, at a time of stereoscopically displaying the display information on the first display device, an exceeding area of the object in a first display form different from a display form in the display information on the first display when an amount of depth or pop-out of the object to be displayed in space exceeds an amount of depth or pop-out settable to the first display device, and
to display the object on the second display device.

2. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 wherein
the first hardware interface receives device information on display of the object from the first display device, and
the processor is further configured to stereoscopically display the display information comprising the object on the first display device when the first display device is determined to be capable of stereoscopic display based on the device information on the display of the object.

3. The electronic apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to correct and display the object based on correspondence relation between stereoscopic effect or shading and on-screen information on screen size or resolution of the first display device in the device information on the display of the object, at a time of displaying the object displayed on the second display device on the first display device.

4. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a memory;
a first hardware interface configured to connect a first display device that is capable of stereoscopic display;
a second hardware interface configured to connect a second display device that does not perform stereoscopic display; and
a processor connected to the memory configured:
to acquire display information comprising an object,
to display, at a time of stereoscopically displaying the display information on the first display device, an exceeding area of the object on the first display by adjusting an amount of depth or pop-out based on the amount of depth or pop-out settable to the first display device, when the amount of depth or pop-out of the object to be displayed in space exceeds an amount of depth or pop-out settable to the first display device, and
to display the object on the second display device.

5. The electronic apparatus of claim 4 , wherein
the first hardware interface receives device information on display of the object from the first display device, and
the processor is further configured to stereoscopically display the object displayed on the second display device on the first display device when the first display device is capable of stereoscopic display based on the device information on the display of the object.

6. The electronic apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to correct and display the object based on correspondence relation between stereoscopic effect or shading and on-screen information on screen size or resolution of the first display device comprised in the device information on the display of the object, at time of displaying the object displayed on the second display device on the first display device.

7. A method to be executed on an electronic apparatus including a first hardware interface configured to connect a first display device that is capable of stereoscopic display, and a second hardware interface configured to connect a second display device that does not perform stereoscopic display, the method comprising:
acquiring display information comprising an object;
displaying, at a time of stereoscopically displaying the display information on the first display device, an exceeding area of the object in a first display form different from a display form in the display information on the first display when an amount of depth or pop-out of the object to be displayed in space exceeds an amount of depth or pop-out settable to the first display device; and
displaying the object on the second display device.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
receiving, by the first hardware interface, the device information on display of the object from the first display device; and
displaying stereoscopically the display information comprising the object on the first display device when the first display device is determined to be capable of stereoscopic display based on the device information on the display of the object.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising correcting and displaying the object based on correspondence relation between stereoscopic effect or shading and on-screen information on screen size or resolution of the first display device in the device information on the display of the object, at a time of displaying the object displayed on the second display device on the first display device.

10. A method to be executed on an electronic apparatus including a first hardware interface configured to connect a first display device that is capable of stereoscopic display, and a second hardware interface configured to connect a second display device that does not perform stereoscopic display, the method comprising:
acquiring display information comprising an object;
displaying, at a time of stereoscopically displaying the display information on the first display device, an exceeding area of the object on the first display by adjusting an amount of depth or pop-out based on an amount of depth or pop-out settable to the first display device when the amount of depth or pop-out of the object to be displayed in space exceeds the amount of depth or pop-out settable to the first display device; and
displaying the object on the second display device.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
receiving, by the first hardware interface, the device information on display of the object from the first display device; and
displaying stereoscopically the object displayed on the second display device on the first display device when the first display device is capable of stereoscopic display based on the device information on the display of the object.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising correcting and displaying the object based on correspondence relation between stereoscopic effect or shading and on-screen information on screen size or resolution of the first display device in the device information on the display of the object, at a time of displaying the object displayed on the second display device on the first display device.
