Abstract

A display system includes, a server for transmitting data to a map information display device to cause the character to be displayed on a detail information display screen, the map information display device for starting move display animation of the character and transmitting data indicative of move completion to the server, the server for transmitting data to a detail information display device to display the detail information about the shop to which the character is snapped and also transmitting data to display the character on the detail information display screen, the detail information display device for displaying the received detail information about the shop, causing the character to log in on the detail information display screen and to be displayed thereon, and continuously reproducing the move display animation of the character until the character reaches a character display area.

Claims

1. A display system comprising:

a first display device;

a second display device for displaying information associated with display contents displayed on said first display device; and

a server for controlling said first display device and said second display device,

wherein said server generates operational information about an object on a display screen of said first display device according to an instruction from a terminal of a user and transmits the operational information of said object to said first display device, said first display device operates said object on the display screen of said first display device and transmits an operation completion notification of said object to said server when operation of said object is completed, said server, when receiving the operation completion notification of said object, transmits information associated with display contents displayed on said first display device to said second display device, and said second display device displays, on a display screen of said second display device, the information associated with the display contents displayed on the display screen of said first display device.

2. A display system according to claim 1, wherein said server decides a move direction of said object on the display screen of said first display device on the basis of a positional information of said object on the display screen of said first display device and a relative positional information of said second display device to said first display device and generates operational information about said object including the move direction of said object, and the move direction of said object is a direction when said object moves on the display screen of said first display device toward a side of the display screen on which said second display device is installed.

3. A display system according to claim 2, wherein said first display device continuously moves said object in the move direction of said object on the display screen of said first display device, and said first display device decides that operation of said object was completed when said object moves on the side of the display screen of said first display device and arrives at an end of the display screen at which side said display device is installed.

4. A display system according to claim 1, wherein said server decides a position of a move destination of said object on the display screen of said first display device on the basis of the positional information of said object on the display screen of said first display device and relative positional information of said second display device to said first display device and generates operational information about said object including information about the position of the move destination of said object, and the position of the move destination of said object is on the display screen of said first display device and in a region of the side of the display screen at which side said second display device is installed.

5. A display system according to claim 4, wherein the region of the side of the display screen at which said second display device is installed is on the display screen of said first display device and at the end of the display screen at which side said second display device is installed.

6. A display system according to claim 4, wherein said first display device continuously moves said object on the display device of said first display device as far as the region of the side of the display screen at which side said second display device is installed, and said first display device decides that operation of said object was completed when said object reaches the region of the side of the display screen of said first display device at which side said second display device is installed.

7. A display system according to claim 1, wherein said first display device, while said second display device displays the information associated with the display contents displayed on said first display device, puts said object in its no display state on the display screen of said first display device, said server transmits said object and the operational information about said object together with the information associated with the display contents displayed on said first display device to said second display device, and said second display device displays said object together with the information associated with the display contents displayed on said first display device and operates said object on the display screen of second display device according to the operational information about said object.

8. A display system according to claim 1, wherein said first display device displays a map, and said second display device displays detail information about one of shops to which said object is snapped on said map as the information associated with the display contents displayed on said first display device.

9. A display device for displaying information according to an instruction from a server, comprising:

a reception unit for receiving operational information about an object on a display screen of said display device from said server when said server causes information associated with display contents displayed on said display device to be displayed on another display device according to an instruction from a user;

a processing unit for operating said object on the display screen of said display device according to the operational information on said object; and

a transmission unit for transmitting an operation completion notification of said object to said server when operation of said object was completed,

wherein said server, when receiving the operation completion notification of said object, transmits the information associated with the display contents displayed on said display device to said another display device, and said other display device displays the information associated with the display contents displayed on said display device.
