Abstract

A display control device according to one embodiment includes a processor. The processor receives image information indicating a first image appearing on a display from an information terminal, controls a first display device and a second display device based on the image information to display the first image on a first touch screen and a second touch screen, receives first coordinate information indicating a contact position on the first image from the first display device when a touch operation that brings a finger or an object into contact is performed in a range in which the first image is displayed in the first touch screen, overlays and displays a second image at a position corresponding to the first coordinate information on the first image displayed on the second touch screen when the first coordinate information is received, and transmits the received first coordinate information to the information terminal.

Claims (49)

1. A display control device connected to an information terminal including a display, a first display device including a first touch screen, and a second display device including a second touch screen through a network,

the display control device comprising a memory and a processor, wherein

the processor is configured to

receive image information indicating a first image appearing on the display from the information terminal,

control the first display device and the second display device based on the image information to display the first image on the first touch screen and the second touch screen,

receive first coordinate information indicating a contact position on the first image from the first display device when a touch operation that brings a finger or an object into contact is performed in a range in which the first image is displayed in the first touch screen,

overlay and display a second image at a position corresponding to the first coordinate information on the first image displayed on the second touch screen when the first coordinate information is received,

transmit the received first coordinate information to the information terminal, and

display a notification, on the second touch screen, which indicates that the first touch screen is being operated in response to touch operations being performed at a plurality of points in the range in which the first image is displayed in the first touch screen.

2. The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the second image is an image representing that the touch operation has been performed on the first touch screen.

3. The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor is further configured to

receive second coordinate information indicating a contact position on the first image from the second display device when the touch operation is performed in a range in which the first image is displayed in the second touch screen,

overlay and display the second image at a position corresponding to the second coordinate information on the first image displayed on the first touch screen when the second coordinate information is received, and

transmit the received second coordinate information to the information terminal.

4. The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the display control device is connected to the information terminal via wireless communication and connected to the first display device and the second display device via wired communication.

5. The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the notification is a message, and

the processor is further configured to

accept no touch operation on the second touch screen when touch operations are performed at a plurality of points in the range in which the first image is displayed in the first touch screen, and

display the message on the second touch screen to indicate that the first touch screen is being operated when the touch operations are performed at the plurality of points in the range in which the first image is displayed in the first touch screen.

6. A display control method comprising:

receiving image information indicating a first image appearing on a display from an information terminal including the display;

controlling a first display device including a first touch screen and a second display device including a second touch screen based on the image information to display the first image on the first touch screen and the second touch screen;

receiving first coordinate information indicating a contact position on the first image from the first display device when a touch operation that brings a finger or an object into contact is performed in a range in which the first image is displayed in the first touch screen;

overlaying and displaying a second image at a position corresponding to the first coordinate information on the first image displayed on the second touch screen when the first coordinate information is received;
