Information processing system, information processing unit and computer readable medium

1. An information processing system comprising:

a first information processing unit of a plurality of information processing units; and

a second information processing unit of the plurality of information processing units that is connected to the first information processing unit so as to be communicable therewith,

wherein the first information processing unit includes:

a first display unit detection unit that is configured to detect whether a projector is connected to the first information processing unit;

a first transmission unit that is configured to transmit, to the plurality of information processing units, a fact that the projector is connected, when the first display unit detection unit detects that the projector is connected; and

a control unit that is configured to control display of information transmitted from the second information processing unit of the plurality of information processing units on the projector, and

wherein the second information processing unit includes:

a second display unit detection unit that is configured to detect whether or not the projector is directly connected to the second information processing unit; and

a second transmission unit that is configured to transmit, to the first information processing unit to which the projector is connected, the information to be displayed on the projector when the second display unit detection unit detects that the projector is not currently connected to the second information processing unit, wherein

the information transmitted from the second information processing unit includes a transmission destination ID, transmission source ID and display content data which includes coordinates and dimensions of a window to be displayed by the projector and display content of the window.

2. An information processing unit communicable with other information processing units, comprising:

a display unit detection unit that is configured to detect whether a projector is connected to the information processing unit;

a first transmission unit that is configured to transmit, to said other information processing units, a fact that the projector is connected to the information processing unit under the condition that the display unit detection unit detects that the projector is currently connected to the information processing unit;

a control unit that is configured to control display of information respectively transmitted from said other information processing units on the projector, the projector being not currently connected to said other information processing units;

a second transmission unit, wherein

the control unit compares an actual number of the other information processing units that currently transmit information to be displayed on the projector being currently connected to the information processing unit with a predetermined number, and

when the comparison shows the actual number being greater than or equal to the predetermined number, the control unit causes the second transmission unit to transmit to the other information processing units an indication that the information processing unit cannot accept the information to be displayed on the projector any more from other information processing units,

each of the information transmitted from said other information processing units includes a transmission destination ID, transmission source ID and display content data which includes coordinates and dimensions of a window to be displayed by the projector and display content of the window.

3. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for information processing of an information processing unit communicable with other information processing units, the process comprising:

detecting whether a projector is connected to the information processing unit;

transmitting, to said other information processing units, a fact that the projector is connected to the information processing unit under the condition that the detection indicates that the projector is currently connected to the information processing unit;

controlling display of information respectively transmitted from said other information processing units on the projector, the projector being not currently connected to said other information processing units,

wherein

the controlling includes comparing an actual number of the other information processing units that currently transmit information to be displayed on the projector with a predetermined number,

when the comparison shows the actual number being greater than or equal to the predetermined number, transmitting an indication that the information processing unit cannot accept the information to be displayed on the projector any more from the other information processing units to said other information processing units,

each of the information transmitted from said other information processing units includes a transmission destination ID, transmission source ID and display content data which includes coordinates and dimensions of a window to be displayed by the projector and display content of the window.
