Abstract

According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a first display, a hardware processor and an output module. The hardware processor is configured to calculate a parameter value based on a screen size of the first display, a resolution of the first display and a first setting value associated with a first display size of an object on the first display, the parameter value being used for calculating a second setting value associated with a display size of the object on a second display of a second electronic apparatus, the second setting value used to synchronize the display size of the object on the second display with the display size of the object on the first display, the first display and the second display being different in at least one of screen size and resolution from each other.

Claims (26)

1. A system comprising a first electronic apparatus and a second electronic apparatus,

the first electronic apparatus comprising:

a first display having a first screen size and a first resolution;

a first communication device; and

a first hardware processor configured to:

calculate a parameter value based on the first screen size, the first resolution and a first setting value associated with a display size of an object on the first display; and

transfer the parameter value to the second electronic apparatus by the first communication device,

the second electronic apparatus comprising:

a second display having a second screen size and a second resolution, the second screen size and the second resolution being different from the first screen size and the first resolution;

a second communication device; and

a second hardware processor configured to:

receive the parameter value from the first electronic apparatus by the second communication device;

calculate a second setting value associated with a display size of the object on the second display by dividing a first number, which is obtained by dividing a square root of a second number obtained by adding a square of number of pixels in a horizontal direction on the second display and a square of number of pixels in a vertical direction on the second display by the screen size of the second display, by the parameter value; and

execute a setting of the second setting value.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first hardware processor of the first electronic apparatus is configured to calculate the parameter value by dividing a third number, which is obtained by dividing a square root of a fourth number obtained by adding a square of number of pixels in a horizontal direction on the first display and a square of number of pixels in a vertical direction on the first display by the screen size of the first display, by the first setting value.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second hardware processor of the second electronic apparatus is configured to execute the setting by using a first value, when the calculated second setting value is smaller than the first value.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first hardware processor of the first electronic apparatus is configured to upload the parameter value to a server connected via a network in order to transfer the parameter value to the second electronic apparatus by the first communication device.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second hardware processor of the second electronic apparatus is configured to download the parameter value from a server connected via a network in order to receive the parameter value from the first electronic apparatus by the second communication device.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first electronic apparatus further comprises a first connector, and the first hardware processor of the first electronic apparatus is configured to transfer the parameter value to the second electronic apparatus via the first connector.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second electronic apparatus further comprises a second connector, and the second hardware processor of the second electronic apparatus is configured to receive the parameter value from the first electronic apparatus via the second connector.

8. A configuration setting method for synchronizing a display size of an object on a first display of a first electronic apparatus with a display size of the object on a second display of a second electronic apparatus, the first display having a first screen size and a first resolution, the second display having a second screen size and a second resolution, the second screen size and the second resolution being different from the first screen size and the first resolution, the method comprising:

calculating, by the first electronic apparatus, a parameter value based on the first screen size, the first resolution and a first setting value associated with the display size of the object on the first display;

transferring, by the first electronic apparatus, the parameter value to the second electronic apparatus;

receiving, by the second electronic apparatus, the parameter value from the first electronic apparatus;

calculating, by the second electronic apparatus, a second setting value associated with the display size of the object on the second display by dividing a first number, which is obtained by dividing a square root of a second number obtained by adding a square of number of pixels in a horizontal direction on the second display and a square of number of pixels in a vertical direction on the second display the screen size of the second display, by the parameter value; and

executing, by the second electronic apparatus, a setting of the second setting value.
