Abstract
A display apparatus transmits a picture acquisition request for getting picture information to an external image apparatus connected through a predetermined interface to the display apparatus from the external image apparatus at predetermined intervals and gets a plurality of pieces of picture information from the external image apparatus to be displayed. The plurality of pictures may be switched at predetermined intervals, for example, to be displayed, so that the plurality of pictures may be displayed in a so-called slide show manner. A plurality of pictures for thumbnail may be produced from the plurality of pieces of picture information and be arranged together to be displayed in one picture screen of a display device.
Claims20
An image display apparatus, comprising:
- Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface circuitry configured to receive compressed first image information from a digital camera over a USB cable;
- wireless LAN interface circuitry configured to wirelessly receive compressed second image information from the digital camera over a network;
- a decoder configured to decode the compressed first image information received by the USB interface circuitry or the compressed second image information received by the wireless LAN interface circuitry;
- and
- a display screen configured to display at least one of first images based on decoded the first image information and second images decoded the second information obtained by the decoder,
- wherein if displaying the first images on the display screen, based on an operation on the input device of the image display apparatus for conducting a slide show,
- the USB interface circuitry transmits, over the USB cable, a first signal to the digital camera for causing the digital camera to output compressed first image information corresponding to first still pictures, and receives, over the cable, the compressed first image information corresponding to first still pictures output from the digital camera,
- the decoder decodes the compressed first image information corresponding to first still pictures received by the USB interface circuitry, and
- the display screen displays a slide show at predetermined time intervals with the first still pictures, as the first images, based on the decoded first image information obtained by the decoder, and
- wherein if displaying the second images on the display screen, based on an operation on the input device of the image display apparatus for conducting a slide show,
- the wireless LAN interface circuitry wirelessly transmits, over the network, a second signal to the digital camera for causing the digital camera to output compressed second image information corresponding to second still pictures, and wirelessly receives, over the network, the compressed second image information corresponding to second still pictures output from the digital camera,
- the decoder decodes the compressed second image information corresponding to second still pictures received by the wireless LAN interface circuitry, and
- the display screen displays a slide show at predetermined time intervals with the second still pictures, as the second images, based on the decoded second image information obtained by the decoder.

- the display screen displays a slide show at predetermined time intervals with the resized first still pictures, and
- wherein at least in the state that the wireless LAN interface circuitry connects with the portable video processing apparatus over the network, based on an operation on the input device of the image display apparatus for conducting a slide show,
- the wireless LAN interface circuitry wirelessly transmits, over the network, a second signal to the portable video processing apparatus for causing the portable video processing apparatus to output compressed second image information corresponding to second still pictures, and wirelessly receives, over the network, the compressed second image information corresponding to second still pictures output from the portable video processing apparatus, and
- the decoder decodes the compressed second image information corresponding to second still pictures received by the wireless LAN interface circuitry,
- the resizing processor resizes the second still pictures by changing a number of horizontal pixels and/or a number of vertical lines of the second still pictures obtained by the decoder, and
- the display screen displays a slide show at predetermined time intervals with the resized second still pictures.
13 more elements
