Image display apparatus and image display apparatus selection method
First Claim
1. An image display apparatus for a presentation of image information received from a communication apparatus through a network, comprising:
- image displaying unit configured to display the received image information;
discriminating identifier setting unit configured to set discriminating identifiers for identifying the image display apparatuses displayable on the image displaying unit, the discriminating identifier that is visually identifiable from other discriminating identifiers that other image display apparatuses display, if the image displaying unit displays;
image generating unit configured to generate an identification image that is displayable on the image displaying unit and represents the discriminating identifier set by the discriminating identifier setting unit; and
controller configured to cause the image displaying unit to display the identification image that the image generating unit has generated.

Abstract
The present invention makes it easier to select, when there are plural image display apparatuses such as projectors, a display destination image display apparatus. The embodiment of the invention also prevents display on a wrong image display apparatus. discriminating identifiers that are easy for a user to visually discriminate are given, separately from communication identifiers, to the image display apparatuses, and the user selects an image display apparatus on which an image is to be displayed while the user checks images relating to the discriminating identifiers that each image display apparatus displays. The embodiment of the invention is disposed with detecting overlaps between the image display apparatuses so that the discriminating identifiers do not overlap.

7. An image display system for a presentation comprises an image transmission apparatus connectable on a network and an image display apparatus that receives and displays image information to be displayed from the image transmission apparatus:
-
wherein the image display apparatus includes image displaying unit configured to display the received image information, discriminating identifier setting unit configured to set discriminating identifiers for identifying the image display apparatuses displayable on the image displaying unit, the discriminating identifier that is visually identifiable from other discriminating identifiers that other image display apparatuses display, if the image displaying unit displays, identifier information transmitting unit configured to transmit, to at least image display apparatuses connectable on the network, identifier information including the discriminating identifier that the discriminating identifier setting unit has set, image generating unit configured to generate an identification image that is displayable on the image displaying unit and represents the discriminating identifier set by the discriminating identifier setting unit, and controller configured to cause the image displaying unit to display the identification image that the image generating unit has generated;
the image transmission apparatus includes identifier information receiving unit configured to receive the identifier information that the image display apparatus has transmitted, display unit configured to associate and display identification expressing the discriminating identifier included in the identifier information received by the identifier information receiving unit and an identifier representing the image display apparatus that has transmitted the identifier information, and input unit configured to select and input, from the display of the display unit, the image display apparatus serving as the transmission destination of the image information to be displayed in the presentation; and
the input unit selects the image display apparatus serving as the transmission destination by selecting an image display apparatus where the identification expressing the discriminating identifier that the display unit has displayed and the recognition of the identification image that the controller caused the image displaying unit to display are the same. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A method of selecting image display apparatuses in an image display system for a presentation and comprises an image transmission apparatus connectable on a network and an image display apparatus that receives and displays image information to be displayed from the image transmission apparatus:
-
wherein the image display apparatus setting discriminating identifiers for identifying the displayable image display apparatuses, that is visually identifiable from other discriminating identifiers that other image display apparatuses, if displayed, transmitting, to at least image display apparatuses connectable on the network, identifier information including the set discriminating identifier, and generating an identification image representing the set discriminating identifier, and displaying the generated identification image;
the image transmission apparatus receiving the identifier information that the image display apparatus has transmitted, associating and displays identification expressing the discriminating identifier included in the received identifier information and an identifier representing the image display apparatus that has transmitted the identifier information, and selecting, from the display, the image display apparatus serving as the transmission destination of the image information that is to be displayed in the presentation by selecting an image display apparatus where the identification expressing the discriminating identifier and the recognition of the displayed identification image are the same. - View Dependent Claims (14)

15. A program of an image display apparatus that is used in a presentation and which receives and displays image information to be displayed from another communication apparatus on a network, the program comprising the steps of:
-
displaying the received image information;
setting discriminating identifier that is visually identifiable from other discriminating identifiers that other image display apparatuses display, if the discriminating identifiers for identifying the image display apparatuses are displayed;
generating a displayable identification image representing the set discriminating identifier; and
displaying the identification image. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
