Display system, display device and display method

A display device configured to display a received image based on image information transmitted from at least one image supply device having a communication function and an imaging function via a network, the display device comprising:

• an image generating unit configured to generate a segmented image segmented into plural individual areas, the segmented image contains an individual connection image in an area corresponding to at least one individual area of the plural individual areas, the individual connection image representing connection information for the at least one image supply device to take an image of an area including the area correlated to the individual area and to connect to the display device;
• a display unit configured to display the segmented image;
• a receiving unit configured to receive the image information and connection request information from the at least one image supply device;
• and
• a determining unit configured to determine whether connection is permitted or not based on the connection request information, when connection to the at least one image supply device as a transmission source of the connection request information is permitted by the determining unit, the image generating unit generates the segmented image containing the received image based on the image information from the at least one image supply device in the individual area.

A display method, comprising:

• imaging an area using at least one image supply device, the area including the area correlated to an individual area;
• generating image information using the at least one image supply device;
• generating connection request information representing a connection request toward the display device using the at least one image supply device based on the connection information contained in the imaging information;
• transmitting the connection request information using the at least one image supply device via a network to the display device;
• receiving the connection request information at the display device via the network and establishing connection to the at least one image supply device as a transmission source of the connection request information;
• receiving the image information via the network and displaying the segmented image containing the received image using the display device based on the image information in the individual area and segmented into plural individual areas;
• and
• displaying a segmented image containing an individual connection image on the display device, the connection image representing connection information to connect at least one image supply device to the display device in an area correlated to one individual area of the plural individual areas contained in the segmented image.
