Abstract

The presentation support system comprises a projector that displays presentation images utilized in a presentation, a presentation support device that produces support information for supporting the presentation according to the progress status of the presentation, and a support information display device that displays the support information. The projector is equipped with a support controller that supplies the support information display device with the support information supplied from the presentation support device.

Claims

1. A presentation support system, comprising:

a projector configured to display presentation images to be used in a presentation;

a presentation support device configured to produce support information for supporting the presentation according to a progress status of the presentation, and to provide the support information to the projector; and

a support information display device configured to display the support information,

the projector being equipped with a support controller configured to supply the support information display device with the support information provided from the presentation support device.

2. A presentation support system as defined in

claim 1

, wherein the support information includes information indicating at least one of an elapsed time and a remaining time determined by monitoring the progress status of the presentation over time.

3. A presentation support system as defined in

claim 1

, wherein the support information includes progress-related information obtained by comparing a progress determined by monitoring the progress status of the presentation over time with a previously registered progress.

4. A presentation support system as defined in

claim 1

, wherein the support information includes information indicating notes related to the presentation image being displayed.

5. A presentation support system as defined in

claim 1

, wherein the support information includes information indicating notes not related to the presentation image.

6. A presentation support system as defined in

claim 1

, wherein the support information display device is a remote control capable of communication with the projector.

7. A projector system, comprising:

a projector configured to display images; and

a support information display device configured to display specific support information,

the projector being equipped with a support controller configured to supply the support information to the support information display device.

8. A projector system as defined in

claim 7

, wherein the support information includes information indicating at least one of an elapsed time and a remaining time determined by monitoring a progress status of the presentation over time.

9. A projector system as defined in

claim 7

, wherein the support information includes progress-related information obtained by comparing a progress determined by monitoring the progress status of the presentation over time with a previously registered progress.

10. A projector system as defined in

claim 7

, wherein the support information includes information indicating notes related to the presentation image being displayed.

11. A projector system as defined in

claim 7

, wherein the support information includes information indicating notes not related to the presentation image.

12. A projector system as defined in

claim 7

, wherein the support information display device is a remote control capable of communication with the projector.
