Abstract

A display device includes an image display section adapted to display an image so as to be able to be visually recognized together with an outside view, a camera, and a control section adapted to process taken image data of the camera, and the control section selects a mode as a processing condition, which corresponds to whether or not display is performed in the image display section based on taken image data, to process the taken image data.

Claims

1. A display device comprising:

a display section adapted to display an image so as to be able to be visually recognized together with an outside view;

an imaging section; and

a processing section adapted to process taken image data of the imaging section,

wherein the processing section processes the taken image data in accordance with processing condition corresponding to whether or not display of the taken image data is performed in the display section.

2. The display device according to claim 1, wherein

the processing section processes the taken image data in accordance with the processing condition different by whether or not the taken image data is displayed in the display section.

3. The display device according to claim 1, further comprising:

an imaging control section adapted to set an imaging condition of the imaging section to make the imaging section perform imaging in the imaging condition set,

wherein the processing section makes the imaging control section set the imaging condition, which corresponds to the processing condition, to the imaging section.

4. The display device according to claim 3, wherein

the processing section is configured so as to be able to perform a process of displaying in the display section on the taken image data, and image processing on the taken image data, and

the imaging control section sets the imaging condition, which corresponds to the process performed by the processing section, to the imaging section.

5. The display device according to claim 3, wherein

the imaging section and the processing section are connected to each other with a bus, and

the imaging section transmits the taken image data, which is suitable for the imaging condition set by the imaging control section, to the processing section via the bus.

6. The display device according to claim 3, wherein

the imaging section is capable of performing an operation while switching between operation modes related to at least either of a resolution and a frame rate of the taken image data, and

the imaging control section sets the operation mode in which the imaging section performs the operation.

7. The display device according to claim 6, wherein

the processing section is capable of changing an execution state of the process,

the imaging section is capable of performing an operation while switching between operation modes corresponding to the execution state of the process of the processing section, and

the imaging control section sets the operation mode, which corresponds to the execution state of the process of the processing section, to the imaging section.

8. The display device according to claim 6, wherein

the operation mode of the imaging section includes operation modes corresponding to whether or not the processing section performs marker recognition using the taken image data.

9. The display device according to claim 3, wherein

the processing condition in a case of performing display based on the taken image data with the display section includes a condition of setting a capacity of the taken image data input to the processing section smaller than in the case of not being accompanied by display based on the taken image data with the display section.

10. The display device according to claim 1, wherein

an imaging range of the imaging section is a range corresponding to the outside view to be visually recognized through the display section.

11. The display device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a battery,

wherein power is supplied from the battery to at least the imaging section and the processing section.

12. A method of controlling a display device, comprising:

controlling a display device having a display section adapted to display an image so as to be able to be visually recognized together with an outside view, and an imaging section; and

processing taken image data in accordance with processing condition corresponding to whether or not display of the taken image data is performed in the display section.
