Abstract

According to one embodiment, processor includes an acquisition module, a communication module, an output module, and a controller. The acquisition module acquires detection information indicating that an object has been detected around a region on which a display device performs displaying. The output module outputs, to a display, screen information on which display information indicating data is arranged, and outputs, to the display when communication between the communication module and a terminal becomes available, the display information indicating data capable of being used by the terminal in a display mode different from other display information based on attribute information indicating an attribute of the terminal. The attribute information is received from the terminal. The controller establishes, when the terminal is detected around the display region, communication of the data indicated by the display information between the communication module and the terminal based on the detection information and the attribute information.

Claims

1. A display processor comprising:

an acquisition module configured to acquire detection information indicating that an object has been detected around a display region on which a display device performs displaying;

a communication module configured to be capable of transmitting and receiving data to and from a communication terminal;

an output module configured to output, to a display, screen information on which display information indicating data is arranged, and to output, to the display when communication with the communication terminal between the communication module and the communication terminal becomes available, the display information indicating data capable of being used by the communication terminal in a display mode different from other display information based on attribute information indicating an attribute of the communication terminal, the attribute information being received from the communication terminal; and

a communication controller configured to establish, when the communication terminal is detected around the display region, communication of the data indicated by the display information in the display mode different from the other display information by the output module between the communication module and the communication terminal based on the detection information acquired by the acquisition module and the attribute information received from the communication terminal.

2. The display processor of claim 1, further comprising a display device configured to be capable of detecting touch when the display region is touched.

3. The display processor of claim 1, wherein, when the communication controller is capable of establishing communication between the communication module and each of a plurality of communication terminals, the output module is configured to change the display mode of the display information in accordance with whether the respective communication terminals are capable of using the display information, and to output the display information in the changed display mode.

4. The display processor of claim 1, wherein the display information displayed by the output module is an icon, a thumbnail, or a button indicating the data.

5. The display processor of claim 1, wherein the output module outputs, to the display module, the display information indicating the data capable of being used by the communication terminal while emphasizing shade or making color of an outer frame different.

6. A display processing method comprising:

acquiring detection information indicating that an object has been detected around a display region on which a display device performs displaying;

outputting, to a display, screen information on which display information indicating data is arranged, and outputting, to the display when communication between a communication module and a communication terminal becomes available, the display information indicating data capable of being used by the communication terminal in a display mode different from other display information based on attribute information indicating an attribute of the communication terminal, the attribute information being received from the communication terminal; and

establishing, when the communication terminal is detected around the display region, communication of the data indicated by the display information in the display mode different from the other display information by the output module between the communication module and the communication terminal based on the detection information acquired by the acquisition module and the attribute information received from the communication terminal.
