Display apparatus and display method
An image display system includes a first terminal device and with a second terminal device whose usable function range is smaller than a usable function range of the first terminal device. The image display system includes a display projection unit, a communication unit that establishes wireless connection with the first and second terminal devices, a control unit that manages the wireless connection, and a connection control image generating unit. The control unit and the connection control image generating unit generate a terminal connection image including information for connecting the second terminal device with the image display system, based on terminal connection permission information that assigns the second terminal device whose wireless connection with the display system is permitted, the terminal connection permission information being transmitted from the first terminal device. The display projection unit displays the terminal connection image.
1. An image display method, comprising:
receiving a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) from a first terminal device that is previously wireless-connected to a display apparatus;
displaying an image onto a display of the display apparatus as a first display state, the image being acquired with reference to the URL;
receiving terminal connection permission information from the first terminal device, wherein the terminal connection permission information is for establishing a wireless connection between a second terminal device and the display apparatus; and
displaying a terminal connection image that is generated based on the terminal connection permission information onto the display of the display apparatus as a second display state, wherein the terminal connection image includes identification information for assigning the second terminal device,
wherein the display apparatus is connected to the second terminal device by causing the second terminal device to capture the terminal connection image that is displayed on the display of the display apparatus by the second display state, causing the second terminal device to transmit connection information for connecting the second terminal device to the display apparatus, based on the terminal connection image.
2. The image display method according to claim 1 ,
wherein the display apparatus is connected to the second terminal device when the terminal connection permission information received from the first terminal device matches with the connection information received from the second terminal device.
3. The image display method according to claim 1 ,
wherein the terminal connection permission information includes unique information for identifying the second terminal device.
4. The image display method according to claim 1 ,
wherein the terminal connection image displayed in the second display state is a QR code.
5. The image display method according to claim 1 ,
wherein, in the second display state, information of current date and current time based on a timer of the display apparatus is added to the terminal connection image.
6. The image display method according to claim 1 ,
wherein, in the second display state, the terminal connection image is among a plurality of terminal connection images that are displayed, wherein a number of the plurality of the terminal connection images that is displayed is a number of devices whose connection is permitted by the first terminal device.
