3D IMAGE CONTROL APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. An apparatus that configured to enable viewing a 3D image by causing a display unit to alternately display a right eye image and a left eye image in a time-division manner and alternately opening and closing right and left shutters of shutter glasses, the apparatus comprising:
- a communication unit configured to transmit to the shutter glasses a signal synchronized with switching between the right eye image and the left eye image and to receive from the shutter glasses an identification signal for identifying a type of the shutter glasses;
a storage unit configured to store shutter characteristics of the shutter glasses in association with the type of the shutter glasses; and
a control unit configured to read from the storage unit a shutter opening and closing characteristic included in the shutter characteristics based on the identification signal and to control display timing of the display unit based on the shutter opening and closing characteristic such that display periods of the right eye image and the lift eye image are within opening periods of the right shutter and the left shutter, respectively.

Abstract
A 3D image control apparatus receives from shutter glasses an identification signal for identifying a type of the shutter glasses, reading a shutter opening and closing characteristic of the shutter glasses of the type identified based on the identification signal from a storage unit storing shutter characteristics of the shutter glasses in association with the type of the shutter glasses. The 3D image control apparatus controls display timing of an image display unit based on the shutter opening and closing characteristic in such a manner that display periods of the right eye image and the left eye image are respectively within opening periods of the right shutter and the left shutter.

5. A method for controlling an apparatus configured to enable viewing a 3D image by causing a display unit to alternately display a right eye image and a left eye image in a time-division manner and alternately opening and closing right and left shutters of shutter glasses, the method comprising:
-
transmitting the shutter glasses a signal synchronized with switching between the right eye image and the left eye image and receiving from the shutter glasses an identification signal for identifying a type of the shutter glasses; storing, in a storage unit, shutter characteristics of the shutter glasses in association with the type of the shutter glasses; and reading from the storage unit a shutter opening and closing characteristic included in the shutter characteristics based on the identification signal and controlling display timing of the display unit based on the shutter opening and closing characteristic such that display periods of the right eye image and the lift eye image are within opening periods of the right shutter and the left shutter, respectively. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
