Abstract

Since a display device is used in a relatively large room, it often displays images on a large screen. On the other hand, a display terminal often displays images on a small screen. Therefore, when the same image is displayed on the display device and the display terminal, the displayed image on the display terminal is so small that the viewer has difficulty in discerning details of the image, which poses a problem that the display terminal is disadvantageous. In a display system including a display terminal and a display device, the display device detects position coordinates optically pointed out by a pointer on a displayed image, and displays a given pointer mark at the detected position coordinates. The display terminal displays a magnified version of the displayed image approximately around received position coordinates serving as a center thereof, and displays a given pointer mark at the position coordinates.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A display system comprising:
a display terminal; and
a display device
wherein the display terminal includes:
a first display unit configured to display image data in both of a first display mode in which all of the image data is displayed and a second display mode in which a part of the image data is displayed in a magnified manner in comparison with the display in the first display mode; and
a first communication unit configured to transmit the image data to the display device,
wherein the display device includes:
a second communication unit configured to receive the image data from the display terminal;
a second display unit configured to display received image data in a display screen larger than a display screen of the first display unit of the display terminal; and
a detection unit configured to detect position coordinates pointed out by a pointer device, different from the display terminal, on a displayed image on the second display unit,
the display device displays a first pointer mark on the displayed image on the second display unit based on the position coordinates detected by the detection unit,
the display device transmits the position coordinates detected by the detection unit to the display terminal,
the display terminal is configured to display a second pointer mark at a position corresponding to the position coordinates in the image data displayed on the display screen of the first display unit in both of the first display mode and the second display mode, and
a position of the part of the image data displayed in a magnified manner in the second display mode is determined based on the position coordinates received from the display device.

2. The display system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the display terminal displays, on the first display unit, an image corresponding to a part of the image displayed on the second display unit of the display device so that the position of the received position coordinates is located at an approximate center of the image in the second display mode.

3. A display terminal including a display unit and configured to communicate with a display device configured to display on a display screen larger than a display screen of the display unit, the display terminal comprising:
the display unit configured to display image data in both of a first display mode in which all of the image data is displayed and a second display mode in which a part of the image data is displayed in a magnified manner in comparison with the display in the first display mode; and
a communication unit configured to transmit the image data to the display device,
the communication unit receives, from the display device, position coordinates pointed out by a pointer device, different from the display terminal, on a displayed image on the display device,
a pointer mark is displayed at a position corresponding to the position coordinates in the image data displayed on the display screen of the display unit in both of the first display mode and the second display mode, and
a position of the part of the image data displayed in a magnified manner in the second display mode is determined based on the position coordinates received from the display device.

4. The display terminal according to claim 3 ,
wherein the display terminal displays, on the display unit, an image corresponding to a part of the image displayed on the display device so that the position of the received position coordinates is located at an approximate center of the image in the second display mode.

5. The display terminal according to claim 3 ,
wherein, when a position shown by newly received position coordinates is out of a display area of the display data displayed on the display unit in the second display mode, the display terminal changes display contents of the display unit to display contents displaying an image corresponding to a part of the image displayed on the display device so that the position shown by the newly received position coordinates is located at an approximate center of the image.

6. The display terminal according to claim 3 ,
wherein, when a position shown by newly received position coordinates is out of a display area of the display data displayed on the display unit, the display terminal displays a predetermined mark on the display unit.

7. A display system comprising a first display terminal, a second display terminal, and a display device,
wherein the first display terminal includes:
a first display unit; and
a first communication unit configured to with the display device and the second display terminal,
the second display terminal includes:
a second display unit; and
a second communication unit configured to communicate with the first display terminal and the display device, the second display unit being configured to display in both of a first display mode in which all of image data received from the display terminal via the communication unit is displayed and a second display mode in which a part of the image data is displayed in a magnified manner in comparison with the display in the first display mode,
the display device includes:
a third display unit configured to display in a display screen larger than a display screen of the first display unit of the display terminal and a display screen of the second display unit of the second display terminal;
a detection unit configured to detect position coordinates pointed out by a pointer device, different from the second display terminal, on a displayed image on the third display unit; and
a communication unit configured to communicate with the first display terminal and the second display terminal,
the first display terminal transmits the image data to the display device and the second display terminal,
the display device receives the image data from the first display terminal, displays the received image data on the third display unit, displays a first pointer mark on the displayed image on the third display unit based on the position coordinates detected by the detection unit, and transmits the position coordinates detected by the detection unit to the second display terminal,
the second display terminal receives the image data from the first display terminal, receives the position coordinates from the display device, is configured to display all of the image data and a second pointer mark at a position corresponding to the position coordinates in the image data on the second display unit of the second display terminal based on the received image data and the received image coordinates in the first display mode, and is configured to display the part of the image data and the second pointer mark at the position corresponding to the position coordinates in the image data on the second display unit of the second display terminal based on the received image data and the received image coordinates in the second display mode, and
a position of the part of the image data displayed in a magnified manner in the second display mode is determined based on the position coordinates received from the display device.

8. The display system according to claim 7 ,
wherein the second display terminal displays, on the second display unit, an image corresponding to the part of the image displayed on the third display unit of the display device so that the position of the position coordinates received from the display device is located at an approximate center of the image in the second display mode.

9. A display terminal including a display unit and configured to communicate with a display device configured to display on a display screen larger than a display screen of the display unit and an external device,
the display termin
