Abstract

The image display device includes an input unit that receives image data, a display unit that displays the image data received by the input unit, a receiving unit that receives drawing data drawn on the image data displayed on the display unit, an output unit that outputs the image data to another device, and a computing unit. The computing unit performs specific image adjustment on the image data, and causes the display unit to display the image data without performing the specific image adjustment on the image data when the specific image adjustment has been performed on the image data received by the input unit.

Claims (33)

1. An image display method performed by an image display device, comprising:

receiving image data;

causing a display unit to display the image data received;

receiving drawing data drawn on the image data displayed on the display unit;

performing specific image adjustment on the image data to obtain adjustment image data;

combining the drawing data with the adjustment image data to obtain combined image data;

outputting the combined image data and an accessory data including an image adjustment information to another device;

receiving the combined image data and the accessory data at the another device; and

performing specific image adjustment about a parameter not contained in the accessory data on the combined image data received at the another device.

2. The image display method according to claim 1 , further comprising when the accessory data including information indicating the specific image adjustment is received together with the image data, determining that the image data has been subjected to the specific image adjustment.

3. A non-transitory storage medium that stores a computer program causing the image display device to perform the image display method according to claim 1 .

4. An image display system, comprising:

a first display device, and

a second display device, wherein

the first display device includes:

a first input unit that receives image data;

a first display unit that displays the image data received by the first input unit;

a first receiving unit that receives drawing data drawn on the image data displayed on the first display unit;

a first output unit that outputs the image data including the drawing data drawn on the image data to the second display device; and

a first computing unit;

the second display device includes;

a second input unit that receives the image data including the drawing data drawn on the image data;

a second display unit that displays the image data received by the second input unit; and

a second computing unit,

the first computing unit performs specific image adjustment on the image data to obtain adjustment image data, and combines the drawing data received by the first receiving unit with the adjustment image data to obtain combined image data,

the first output unit outputs the combined image data and an accessory data including an image adjustment information to the second display device, and

the second computing unit performs specific image adjustment about a parameter not contained in the accessory data on the combined image data output from the first output unit and received at the second input unit.

5. The image display system according to claim 4 , wherein the specific image adjustment is an adjustment related to at least one of brightness, contrast, sharpness, gamma correction, or black expansion of an image.

6. The image display system according to claim 4 , wherein the image data is an HDMI signal, and the accessory data is included in a specific region of Infoframe used for transmission and reception of the HDMI signal.

7. The image display system according to claim 6 , wherein the accessory data is included in a specific region of Source Product Description of the Infoframe.

8. The image display system according to claim 4 , wherein not performing specific image adjustment about a parameter contained in the accessory data on the combined image data received at the another device.

9. The image display system according to claim 4 , wherein

the second computing unit doesn't perform specific image adjustment about a parameter contained in the accessory data on the combined image data output from the first output unit and received at the second input unit.
