PROJECTOR, PROJECTION DISPLAY SYSTEM, AND CORRESPONDING METHOD AND RECORDING MEDIUM
First Claim
1. A projector connecting with an external input apparatus having an input unit via a network, said projector comprising:
- a network interface module that connects with the network;
a video data generation module that executes a predetermined series of processing with regard to contents of an image to be projected and displayed and generates video data representing the image to be projected and displayed, based on operation information generated through an operation of said input unit of said eternal input device and supplied to said network interface module via the network;
an electro-optic device that generates an image ray according to the video data; and
a projection optical system that projects the image ray generated by said electro-optic device.

Abstract
A method includes sending image related working status information representing image-related working status of a projector that projects images, to a client over a network in response to a request to provide the image-related working status of the projector. The image-related working status is related to display characteristic of the projected image. The method includes controlling the image-related working status of the projector based on the control information received from the client over the network in response to the sent image-related working status information. The image-related working status information is sent to the client with screen information from which the client can display a user interface that includes the image-related working status information.
