Display apparatus

A television display apparatus, comprising:

• High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) interface circuitry configured to receive uncompressed first image information from a portable video processing apparatus over a HDMI cable;
• wireless LAN interface circuitry configured to wirelessly receive compressed second image information from the portable video processing apparatus over a network;
• a decoder configured to decode the compressed second image information received by the wireless LAN interface circuitry;
• a resizing processor;
• and
• a display screen configured to display a received television broadcast program,
• wherein at least in the state that the HDMI interface circuitry connects with the portable video processing apparatus over the HDMI cable, based on an operation on an input device of the television display apparatus for conducting a slide show,
• the HDMI interface circuitry transmits, over the HDMI cable, a first signal to the portable video processing apparatus for causing the portable video processing apparatus to output uncompressed first image information corresponding to first still pictures, and receives, over the HDMI cable, the uncompressed first image information corresponding to the first still pictures output from the portable video processing apparatus,
• the resizing processor resizes the first still pictures by changing a number of horizontal pixels and/or a number of vertical pixels of the first still pictures based on the uncompressed first image information received by the HDMI interface circuitry, and
• 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 television 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 the second still pictures output from the portable video processing apparatus,
• the decoder decodes the compressed second image information corresponding to the 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 pixels 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.

A method for displaying a slide show on a television display apparatus using still pictures from an external image apparatus, comprising the steps of:

• receiving a television broadcast program;
• displaying the received television broadcast program;
• establishing, by High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) interface circuitry, a connection with the external image apparatus over a HDMI cable;
• transmitting, over the HDMI cable, a first signal to the external image apparatus in response to a first user's operation regarding a slide show on a remote controller of the television display apparatus;
• receiving, over the HDMI cable, first still pictures output from the external image apparatus in response to the first signal, the first still pictures being uncompressed;
• resizing the received first pictures by changing a number of horizontal pixels and/or a number of vertical pixels of the decoded first still pictures;
• displaying a slide show at predetermined time intervals with the resized first still pictures;
• establishing, by wireless LAN interface circuitry, a connection with the external image apparatus over a network;
• wirelessly transmitting, over the network, a second signal with an IP address of the external image apparatus to the external image apparatus in response to a second user's operation regarding a slide show on the remote controller of the television display apparatus;
• wirelessly receiving, over the network, second still pictures output from the external image apparatus in response to the second signal, the second still pictures are compressed;
• decoding the received second still pictures;
• resizing the decoded second still pictures by changing a number of horizontal pixels and/or a number of vertical pixels of the decoded second still pictures;
• and
• displaying a slide show at predetermined time intervals with the resized second still pictures.
