The image processing apparatus displays a plurality of screens, including a first screen and a second screen that is different from the first screen, and causes the image display apparatus to display a screen selected from among the first screen and the second screen. The image processing apparatus selects the screen from among the first screen and the second screen to generate the display image of the selected screen, based on a graphical user interface that accepts input of an operation of selecting the screen from among the first screen and the second screen or an operation of instructing generation of the display image. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An image processing apparatus connected to an image display apparatus that displays visual information including handwritten data superimposed on a display image, the image processing apparatus comprising: circuitry configured to implement processes of displaying a plurality of screens, including a first screen and a second screen that is different from the first screen, and causing the image display apparatus to display a screen selected from among the first screen and the second screen; and selecting the screen from among the first screen and the second screen to generate the display image of the selected screen; wherein the display image of the selected screen is generated based on a graphical user interface that accepts input of an operation of selecting the screen from among the first screen and the second screen, or an operation of instructing generation of the display image. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the circuitry generates the display image based on whether a predetermined location of the graphical user interface is displayed on the first screen or the second screen. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The image processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the circuitry compares a first area of the graphical user interface displayed on the first screen with a second area of the graphical user interface displayed on the second screen to generate the display image. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the circuitry extends the plurality of screens to be displayed such that the first screen and the second screen are different screens. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the circuitry further implements processes of determining whether there is a screen that satisfies a predetermined condition from among the plurality of screens; and displaying an application screen to be used in operating the image display apparatus on the screen that has been determined to satisfy the predetermined condition. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The image processing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the circuitry determines whether there is a screen from among the plurality of screens that has a predetermined resolution or a resolution greater than or equal to the predetermined resolution. ### Claim 7 An image processing system including an image display apparatus that displays visual information including handwritten data superimposed on a display image, and an image processing apparatus that is connected to the image display apparatus, the image processing system comprising: circuitry configured to implement processes of displaying a plurality of screens, including a first screen and a second screen that is different from the first screen, and causing the image display apparatus to display a screen selected from among the first screen and the second screen; and selecting the screen from among the first screen and the second screen to generate the display image of the selected screen; wherein the display image of the selected screen is generated based on a graphical user interface that accepts input of an operation of selecting the screen from among the first screen and the second screen, or an operation of instructing generation of the display image. ### Claim 8 An image processing method that is implemented by an image processing apparatus connected to an image display apparatus that displays visual information including handwritten data superimposed on a display image, the image processing method comprising: displaying a plurality of screens, including a first screen and a second screen that is different from the first screen, and causing the image display apparatus to display a screen selected from among the first screen and the second screen; and selecting the screen from among the first screen and the second screen to generate the display image of the selected screen; wherein the display image of the selected screen is generated based on a graphical user interface that accepts input of an operation of selecting the screen from among the first screen and the second screen, or an operation of instructing generation of the display image.
