First Claim
1. A display device connected to a network, and receiving image data transmitted from a terminal device, and displaying received images generated from the image data, the display device comprising:
- a visual information determination section for determining visual identification information for visually distinguishing, in the terminal device, said display device from other display devices, on the basis of preset unique information that is unique to said display device;
a display section for displaying the visual identification information determined by the visual information determination section; and
a communication section for transmitting to the terminal device shared identification information, as information from which the terminal device can obtain the visual identification information determined by the visual information determination section;
whereinbefore a connection to the terminal device is established, the display section displays the visual identification information and the communication section transmits to the terminal device the shared identification information.

Abstract
A display device 100 determines visual identification information for visually distinguishing the display device 100 from other display devices in a terminal device 200, on the basis of unique information for the display device 100, and displays the visual identification information. The display device 100 transmits shared identification information to the terminal device 200 as information from which the terminal device 200 can obtain the visual identification information determined by the display device 100. Before a connection to the terminal device 200 is established, the display device 100 displays the visual identification information and transmits the shared identification information to the terminal device 200.
