Device for displaying link information and method for displaying the same
First Claim
1. A link information display device for displaying link information transmitted by a link information transmitter, comprising:
- video input means for obtaining a video signal of real space;
receiving means for receiving said link information comprising link content information, attribute information and link position information, wherein said link position information comprises virtual space position information in a three-dimensional coordinate system;
transmitting position detection means for detecting the position of said transmitter in the three-dimensional coordinate system in accordance with said received link information;
coordinate transformation means for transforming the three-dimensional coordinate system of said link position information and the position of said transmitter into a display position three-dimensional coordinate system;
display position determining means for determining a display position of said link content information on the basis of said display position three-dimensional coordinate system and said attribute information;
superimposing means for superimposing said link content information onto said video signal in accordance with said display position determined by said display position determining means; and
display means for displaying said superimposed video signal.

Abstract
There are provided a device for displaying link information and a method for displaying the same which display the image of an actual object superimposed with the label of link information so as to easily obtain information on the actual object and to display a moving link. An image input part obtains the image signal of an actual object. A link information receiving part receives link information transmitted by a transmitter. A link contents detection part detects the link contents. An attribute information detection part detects the attribute. A link position detection part detects the link position. The image signal obtained by a synthesizing part is superimposed with the link contents in the display coordinate of a link label calculated by a coordinate conversion part in accordance with the attribute information. A display part displays the image signal synthesized. The user uses a pointing device to easily obtain the link information on the actual object in accordance with the link label.
