Abstract

The projection screen includes signal lines, photosensitive sensors and a signal processor. The photosensitive sensor is configured to sense a light beam for determining a remote control region from a remote control terminal. The signal line is configured to transmit to the signal processor the sensing signal generated by the photosensitive sensor after sensing the light beam. The signal processor is configured to determine position information about a position irradiated by the light beam. The display device can determine the remote control region in accordance with the position information determined by the signal processor about the position irradiated by the light beam, and receive an operation command from a command key of the remote control terminal so as to perform a remote control operation.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display device, comprising:
a transceiver configured to acquire position information about a position irradiated by a light beam emitted by a remote control terminal and sensed by a photosensitive sensor on a projection screen, and receive an operation command from the remote control terminal; and
a processor configured to determine a remote control region in accordance with the position information received by the transceiver, and perform a remote control operation in accordance with the operation command,
wherein the processor is configured to:
determine a display scale of a display content displayed by the display device and the display content displayed at a display region in accordance with the number of signal lines included in the display region of the projection screen and a resolution of the display device;
determine a mapping relationship between a position of the display content displayed on the projection screen and a position of the display content displayed on the display device in accordance with the display scale; and
determine whether or not the position irradiated by a light beam emitted from the remote control terminal and sensed by the photosensitive sensor is within a region covered by an icon or a widget displayed in the display content in accordance with the position information and the mapping relationship, if yes, determine the icon or widget as the remote control region, and if no, display a cursor at a position corresponding to the position irradiated by the light beam emitted from the remote control terminal and sensed by the photosensitive sensor, and determine a region covered by the cursor as the remote control region.

2. A remote control method for a projection system which comprises a projection device, a projection screen, a remote control terminal and a display device, the remote control method comprising:
transmitting, by the projection screen, first position information about a position irradiated by a light beam for determining a display region to the projection device when the projection screen receives the light beam from the projection device;
determining, by the projection device, a display region where a relevant display content is displayed on the projection screen in accordance with the first position information;
establishing, by the display device, a mapping relationship between a position of the display content on the projection screen and a position of the display content on the display device in accordance with the determined display region;
transmitting, by the projection screen, second position information about a position irradiated by a light beam for determining a remote control region to the display device when the projection screen receives the light beam from the remote control terminal;
determining, by the display device, the remote control region in accordance with the second position information and the mapping relationship; and
performing, by the display device, a remote control operation in accordance with an operation command when the display device receives the operation command from the remote control terminal.

3. The remote control method according to claim 2 , wherein the first position information is about a position irradiated by the light beam sensed by a photosensitive sensor of the projection screen and being at a periphery of a region where the display content is located.

4. The remote control method according to claim 3 , wherein the projection screen determines a region where a predetermined pattern formed by connecting the positions irradiated by the light beams at the periphery of the region where the display content is located as the display region.

5. The remote control method according to claim 2 , wherein the mapping relationship between the position of the display content on the projection screen and the position of the display content on the display device is determined by the display device by:
acquiring the number of signal lines arranged in a horizontal direction and the number of signal lines arranged in a vertical direction included in the display region;
determining a display scale of the display content displayed completely at the display region in accordance with the number of the signal lines and a resolution of the display device; and
determining the mapping relationship between the position of the display content on the projection screen and the position of the display content on the display device in accordance with the determined display scale.

6. The remote control method according to claim 2 , wherein the remote control region is determined by the display device in accordance with the received second position information and the mapping relationship by:
determining whether or not a second position at the display region is within a region covered by any icon or widget in the display content in accordance with the second position information and the mapping relationship, if yes, determining by the display device the icon or widget as the remote control region, and if no, displaying by the display device a cursor at a position of the display region corresponding to the second position and determining a region covered by the cursor as the remote control region.

7. The remote control method according to claim 2 , wherein the projection screen further transmits the second position information to the projection device so that the projection device determines the remote control region and transmits it to the display device.
