Abstract

An electronic apparatus comprises a first display and a controller. The controller is configured to switch between a first display mode in which the first display is configured to display a first image and a second display mode in which the first display is configured to display a second image. The controller is configured to cause the first display in the second display mode to superimpose first input information input to the electronic apparatus or an apparatus other than the electronic apparatus onto the second image, and is configured to cause first display to superimpose, in a case where a display mode of the first display is switched from the second display mode to the first display mode, the first input information superimposed on the second image in the second display mode onto an image corresponding to the second image in the first image.

Claims (33)

1. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a first display;

a storage; and

a controller,

wherein

the controller is configured to switch between a first display mode in which the first display is configured to display a first image and a second display mode in which the first display is configured to display a second image, the first image being a series of images captured by the electronic apparatus or an apparatus other than the electronic apparatus and being shared by the first display and a second display of the apparatus other than the electronic apparatus, the second image being an image at a point in time in the first image and being shared by the first display and the second display,

the controller is configured to cause the first display in the second display mode to superimpose first input information input to the electronic apparatus or the apparatus other than the electronic apparatus onto the second image, and is configured to cause the first display to superimpose, in a case where a display mode of the first display is switched from the second display mode to the first display mode, the first input information superimposed on the second image in the second display mode onto an image corresponding to the second image in the first image,

the controller is configured to save a part of the first image as a still image in the storage,

the controller is capable of setting a call mode in each of the first and second display modes, and

the controller is configured to detect a voice call traffic in the call mode, and is configured to save the still image in the storage in a case where the voice call traffic during a predetermined time period reaches or exceeds a non-zero threshold.

2. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to cause the first display in the first display mode to superimpose second input information input to the electronic apparatus or the apparatus other than the electronic apparatus onto the first image.

3. The electronic apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the controller is configured to detect an information amount of the second input information, and is configured to save, as a still image, a part of the first image including the second input information superimposed thereon in the storage in a case where the information amount reaches or exceeds a non-zero threshold.

4. The electronic apparatus according to claim 3 , further comprising an operation detector configured to detect an operation on the electronic apparatus, wherein the controller is configured to save the still image in the storage in a case where the operation detector detects a predetermined operation on the electronic apparatus.

5. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to detect an information amount of the first input information, and is configured to save, as the still image, the second image including the first input information superimposed thereon in the storage in a case where the information amount reaches or exceeds a non-zero threshold.

6. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising an operation detector configured to detect an operation on the electronic apparatus, wherein the controller is configured to save the still image in the storage in a case where the operation detector detects a predetermined operation on the electronic apparatus.

7. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to detect an output sound level or an input sound level of the electronic apparatus in the call mode, and is configured to save the still image in the storage in a case where the output sound level or the input sound level reaches or exceeds a non-zero threshold.

8. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to save, as a moving image, a series of images displayed by the first display in the call mode in the storage.

9. The electronic apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the controller is configured to save, in the storage, a timing at which the controller saves the still image in the storage within a time period over which the series of images forming the moving image is displayed in the call mode.

10. An image display system comprising:

a plurality of electronic apparatuses including a plurality of displays; and

a controller,

wherein

each of the plurality of displays has a first display mode in which the display is configured to display a first image and a second display mode in which the display is configured to display a second image, the first image being a series of images captured by one of the plurality of electronic apparatuses and being shared by the plurality of displays, the second image being an image at a point in time in the first image and being shared by the plurality of displays,

each of the plurality of displays in the second display mode is configured to superimpose input information input to one of the plurality of electronic apparatuses onto the second image,

each of the plurality of displays is configured to superimpose, in a case where a display mode of the display is switched from the second display mode to the first display mode, the input information superimposed on the second image in the second display mode onto an image corresponding to the second image in the first image,

the controller is configured to save the second image as a still image in storage, and

the controller is configured to detect an information amount of the input information, and is configured to save, as the still image, the second image including the input information superimposed thereon in the storage in a case where the information amount reaches or exceeds a non-zero threshold.

11. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium that stores a control program for controlling an electronic apparatus, the control program causing the electronic apparatus to execute the steps of:

(a) displaying a first image that is a series of images captured by one of a plurality of apparatuses including the electronic apparatus and is shared by the plurality of apparatuses;

(b) displaying a second image that is an image at a point in time in the first image and is shared by the plurality of apparatuses, wherein

in the step (b), the control program causes the electronic apparatus to superimpose first input information input to one of the plurality of apparatuses onto the second image, and

in the step (a), the control program causes the electronic apparatus to superimpose the first input information superimposed on the second image in the step (b) onto an image corresponding to the second image in the first image, and causes the electronic apparatus to superimpose second input information input to one of the plurality of apparatuses onto the first image; and

(c) detecting an information amount of the second input information, and saving, as a still image, a part of the first image including the second input information superimposed thereon in storage in a case where the information amount reaches or exceeds a non-zero threshold.
