IMAGE DATA TRANSMISSION APPARATUS, IMAGE DATA TRANSMISSION METHOD, IMAGE DATA RECEPTION APPARATUS, IMAGE DATA RECEPTION METHOD, AND IMAGE DATA TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION SYSTEM

1 . An apparatus comprising:

a control unit to determine whether a display state notification indicating a dimensional display process exists, and to set an output form of display data to be displayed on image data to an output form corresponding to a display state indicated by the display state notification.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the dimensional display process includes a three-dimensional display process.

3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the dimensional display process includes a two-dimensional display process.

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the control unit is to control output of the display data based on whether the display data is able to be generated in the output form corresponding to the display state indicated by the display state notification.

5 . The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein, when the display data is not able to be generated in the output form corresponding to the display state indicated by the display state notification, the control unit controls so that the display data is not output.

6 . The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein, when the display data is not able to be generated in the output form corresponding to the display state indicated by the display state notification, the control unit controls so that display data indicating a warning is output.

7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the display state notification is received from a communication line.

8 . An apparatus comprising:

a control unit to determine a dimensional display process to display image data based on dimensional display process data indicating a dimensional display process to be performed, and to control transmission of a display state notification indicating the dimensional display process to be performed based on whether the dimensional display process to be performed corresponds to a predetermined dimensional display process.

9 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the control unit transmits the display state notification indicating the dimensional display process to be performed when the dimensional display process to be performed does not correspond to the predetermined dimensional display process.

10 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the dimensional display process to be performed includes a three-dimensional display process.

11 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the dimensional display process includes a two-dimensional display process.

12 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the dimensional display process data is determined by detection of a format of image data to be displayed.

13 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the dimensional display process data is based on a determination whether an operation of switching a dimensional display process is performed.

14 . A method comprising:

determining whether a display state notification indicating a dimensional display process exists; and

setting an output form of display data to be displayed on image data to an output form corresponding to a display state indicated by the display state notification,

wherein at least one of the determining or the setting is by a processor.

15 . A method comprising:

determining a dimensional display process to display image data based on dimensional display process data indicating a dimensional display process to be performed; and

controlling transmission of a display state notification indicating the dimensional display process to be performed based on whether the dimensional display process to be performed corresponds to a predetermined dimensional display process,

wherein at least one of the determining or the controlling is by a processor.

16 . A non-transitory recording medium recorded with a computer-readable program having instructions executable by a computer, the program comprising:

determining whether a display state notification indicating a dimensional display process exists; and

setting an output form of display data to be displayed on image data to an output form corresponding to a display state indicated by the display state notification.

17 . A non-transitory recording medium recorded with a computer-readable program having instructions executable by a computer, the program comprising:

determining a dimensional display process to display image data based on dimensional display process data indicating a dimensional display process to be performed; and

controlling transmission of a display state notification indicating the dimensional display process to be performed based on whether the dimensional display process to be performed corresponds to a predetermined dimensional display process.
