Abstract

A disclosed display method includes: projecting data of a space that includes a first display provided by a first display device to a perspective view; causing a second display device to display the perspective view on a second display; accepting a designation of a first position on the second display; converting the first position into a second position on the first display, upon detecting that the first position is inside an area that corresponds to the first display; and operating an image displayed on the first display based on the second position.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display method, comprising:
projecting, by using a computer, data of a space to a perspective view, wherein the space includes a first display provided by a first display device and a second display provided by a second display device located apart from the first display;
causing, by using the computer, a third display device to display the perspective view on a third display;
accepting, by using the computer, a touch input selecting a first position on the third display;
converting, by using the computer, the first position into a second position on the first display, upon detecting that the first position is inside an area that corresponds to the first display;
identifying, by using the computer, an object based on the second position, upon detecting that the second position is inside an area that corresponds to the object;
upon detecting that the touch input was slid on the third display and the object was dropped at a third position inside an area that corresponds to the second display on the third display, converting, by using the computer, the third position to a fourth position on the second display; and
changing, by using the computer, an image displayed on the second display based on the object at the fourth position.

2. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:
projecting data of a space to a perspective view, wherein the space includes a first display provided by a first display device and a second display provided by a second display device located apart from the first display;
causing a third display device to display the perspective view on the third display;
accepting a touch input selecting a first position on the third display;
converting the first position into a second position on the first display, upon detecting that the first position is inside an area that corresponds to the first display;
identifying an object based on the second position, upon detecting that the second position is inside an area that corresponds to the object;
upon detecting that the touch input was slid on the third display and the object was dropped at a third position inside an area that corresponds to the second display on the third display, converting the third position to a fourth position on the second display; and
changing an image displayed on the second display based on the object at the fourth position.

3. A display control apparatus, comprising:
a memory; and
a processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
project data of a space to a perspective view, wherein the space includes a first display provided by a first display device and a second display provided by a second display device located apart from the first display;
cause a third display device to display the perspective view on the third display;
accept a touch input selecting a first position on the third display;
convert the first position into a second position on the first display, upon detecting that the first position is inside an area that corresponds to the first display;
identify an object based on the second position, upon detecting that the second position is inside an area that corresponds to the object;
upon detecting that the touch input was slid on the third display and the object was dropped at a third position inside an area that corresponds to the second display on the third display, convert the third position to a fourth position on the second display; and
change an image displayed on the second display based on the object at the fourth position.
