Projector and control method for projector

1. A projector comprising:

a projecting optical system configured to project an image on a projection surface; and

a central processor configured to act as:

a size detecting section configured to detect a size of a region of the projection surface on which the image is projected by the projecting section;

a size determining section configured to determine, on the basis of the size of the region detected by the size detecting section, a size of an object projected on the projection surface; and

a projection control section configured to cause the projecting optical system to project the image including the object having the size determined by the size determining section,

wherein the size of the object is increased in proportion to a size of the region until the size of the region reaches a first fixed size set in advance, and when the size of the region is a first size larger than the first fixed size, the object having a second fixed size set in advance is projected on the projection surface, and when the size of the region is a second size larger than the first size, the object having the second fixed size is projected on the projection surface.

2. The projector according to claim 1 , wherein the central processor is further configured to act as a storing section configured to store information in which the size of the region and the size of the object corresponding to the size of the region are associated, and

wherein the size determining section determines, referring to the information stored in the storing section, the size of the object corresponding to the size of the region detected by the size detecting section.

3. The projector according to claim 2 , wherein, when the storing section does not store the size of the object corresponding to the size of the region detected by the size detecting section, the size determining section calculates the size of the object according to proportional calculation using the information stored by the storing section.

4. The projector according to claim 1 , wherein the central processor is further configured to act as:

an image input section configured to input image data projected by the projecting section as the image;

an object detecting section configured to detect an image of the object from the image data input by the image input section; and

a processing section configured to change, when the image of the object is detected by the object detecting section, a size of the image of the object included in the image data to the size determined by the size determining section.

5. The projector according to claim 4 , wherein the central processor is further configured to act as:

an operation detecting section configured to detect operation performed by a pointer on the image of the object projected on the projection surface; and

a coordinate converting section configured to convert, on the basis of a position and a size of the image of the object in the image data input by the image input section and a position and a size of the image of the object in the image data processed by the processing section, a coordinate of the operation detected by the operation detecting section into a coordinate in the image data input by the image input section.

6. The projector according to claim 1 , wherein the projection control section causes the projecting optical system to project an image of a keyboard as an image of the object.
