An embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a DLP (registered trademark) projector will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 illustrates a projection environment according to this embodiment. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a projector. The projector 1 can input an image to be projected by connecting an external device (not shown) such as a PC or by attaching a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory storing a document file. The projector 1 projects a projection image PI corresponding to the above image signal onto the screen.

  Reference numeral 3 denotes a point pen dedicated to the projector 1, and the projector 1 and the point pen 3 are wirelessly connected by, for example, Bluetooth (registered trademark) technology. The projection image PI projected by the projector 1 includes an image for position detection in a time division manner in addition to an image provided from a PC or USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory.

  The point pen 3 includes a communication system circuit with the projector 1 and an arithmetic circuit that calculates position coordinates from the received light intensity (luminance). By setting an arbitrary position in the projection image PI as a point, the point pen 3 The position coordinates are calculated from the luminance and transmitted to the projector 1 as the coordinate information of the point instruction.

Based on the received coordinate information of the point pen 3, the projector 1 generates and projects an image signal such that the image of the point mark PT is superimposed on the projection image PI.
Therefore, the user holding the point pen 3 can operate the point pen 3 as if the light having the shape of the point mark PT is emitted directly from the point pen 3.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a schematic functional configuration of the projector 1.
The input / output unit 11 includes, for example, a video input terminal, an RGB input terminal, a VGA terminal, a USB terminal, and the like. The image signal input to the input / output unit 11 is digitized as necessary, and then sent to the image conversion unit 12 via the system bus SB.

  The image conversion unit 12 is also referred to as a scaler, and the input image data is unified into image data of a predetermined format suitable for projection and sent to the projection processing unit 13.

  At this time, data such as symbols indicating various operating states for OSD (On Screen Display) including the point mark PT is also superposed on the image data by the image conversion unit 12 as necessary, and the processed image data is projected. The data is sent to the processing unit 13.

  The projection processing unit 13 multiplies a frame rate according to a predetermined format, for example, 120 [frames / second], the number of color component divisions, and the number of display gradations, in accordance with the transmitted image data. The micromirror element 14 that is a spatial light modulation element is driven to display by the time-division driving.

  The micromirror element 14 has a plurality of, for example, WXGA (Wide extended Graphic Array) (horizontal 1280 pixels × vertical 800 pixels) tilt angles of micromirrors arranged in an array in the effective pixel region of the micromirror element. Each of the images is displayed by performing an on / off operation at a high speed, thereby forming an optical image with the reflected light.

  At this time, the image displayed by the micromirror element 14 includes the point position detection image of the point pen 3 in a time-sharing manner with an appropriate frequency instead of the image corresponding to the image signal input by the input / output unit 11. It is.

  On the other hand, light of a plurality of colors including primary color lights of R, G, and B is sequentially emitted in a time division manner from the light source unit 15 in a time division manner. The light from the light source unit 15 is totally reflected by the mirror 16 and applied to the micromirror element 14.

  Then, a light image corresponding to the color of the light source light is formed by the reflected light from the micromirror element 14, and the formed light image is projected and displayed on a screen (not shown) to be projected through the projection lens unit 17. Is done.

  The CPU 18 controls all the operations of the above circuits. The CPU 18 is directly connected to the main memory 19 and the program memory 20. The main memory 19 is composed of, for example, an SRAM and functions as a work memory for the CPU 18. The program memory 20 is composed of an electrically rewritable nonvolatile memory, and stores an operation program executed by the CPU 18 and various fixed data. The CPU 18 uses the main memory 19 and the program memory 20 to perform overall control operations in the projector 1.

  The CPU 18 performs various projection operations according to key operation signals from the operation unit 21. The operation unit 21 includes a key operation unit provided in the main body of the projector 1 and an infrared light receiving unit that receives infrared light from a remote controller (not shown) dedicated to the projector 1. A key operation signal based on the key operated by the remote controller is directly output to the CPU 18.

  Each of the key operation unit of the projector 1 main body and the dedicated remote controller includes a “menu” key for selecting menu items and performing various detailed settings, and a dedicated key for changing the display form of an image, which will be described later. It is assumed that a “display selection” key is provided.

The CPU 18 is further connected to an audio processing unit 22 and a pointer communication unit 23 via the system bus SB. The sound processing unit 22 includes a sound source circuit such as a PCM sound source, converts the sound data given during the projection operation into an analog signal, drives the speaker unit 24 to emit a loud sound, or generates a beep sound or the like as necessary.
The pointer communication unit 23 wirelessly connects to the point pen 3 via the antenna 25 and transmits a command for instructing the acquisition timing of coordinate information to the point pen 3, while in response to the transmission, the point pen 3 The coordinate information and operation signals of various keys provided on the point pen 3 are received and sent to the CPU 18.

Next, the functional configuration of the point pen 3 will be described with reference to FIG.
A light receiving lens system 31 is incorporated at the tip of the point pen 3, and a phototransistor 32, for example, is disposed as a light receiving element at a focus position of the light receiving lens system 31. The output signal of the phototransistor 32 is digitized by the A / D converter 33 and then sent to the coordinate calculator 35 via the demodulator 34.

  The coordinate calculation unit 35 calculates and checks position coordinates representing the point position of the point pen 3 in the projection image PI from the output of the demodulation unit 34 and outputs the calculation result to the CPU 36 via the bus B.

  The CPU 36 controls the A / D conversion unit 33, the demodulation unit 34, the coordinate calculation unit 35, and the control operation related to the entire point pen 3, and the main memory 37 and the program memory 38 are directly connected to each other. The main memory 37 functions as a work memory for the CPU 36. The program memory 38 stores an operation program executed by the CPU 36 and various fixed data. The CPU 36 executes the control operation in the point pen 3 using the main memory 37 and the program memory 38.

  Further, a key operation signal is input from the click key unit 39 to the CPU 36. The click key unit 39 outputs an operation signal of each of the two click keys arranged along the axial direction of the point pen 3 to the CPU 36, for example.

  Here, the two click keys constituting the click key unit 39 are, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, the click key 3a (corresponding to the left click key of the mouse pointer) located on the tip side of the point pen 3 and having a larger operation area. And a relatively small click key 3b (corresponding to the right click key of the mouse pointer) located on the rear side adjacent to the key.

  Further, the CPU 36 is also connected to the projector communication unit 40 via the bus B. The projector communication unit 40 is wirelessly connected to the projector 1 via an antenna 41, and transmits the coordinate information acquired at a designated timing and an operation signal of the click key unit 39.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described.
FIG. 4 shows a projection range (display range) that is mainly a range in which an image is projected, which is executed by the CPU 18 in the projector 1 that projects an input image signal under the projection environment as shown in FIG. The processing contents of the program related to the setting of.

  As shown in the figure, in the program, the CPU 18 executes a projection operation according to the image signal input from the input / output unit 11 according to the shape of the projection range set at that time (step S101), and the operation unit 21. It is determined whether or not a “menu” key selection operation has been performed by a key input signal from (step S102).

  If it is determined that the “menu” key selection operation has not been performed, the CPU 18 displays the input image display mode, which will be described in detail later, in accordance with the shape of the projection range set at that time. It is determined whether or not the “display selection” key for changing the key is operated (step S103).

  When determining that the “display selection” key is not operated, the CPU 18 returns to the processing from step S101. When this flow is followed, the display mode of the input image is projected while maintaining the current setting. By repeatedly executing the processing of steps S101 to S103 in this way, the “menu” key or the “display selection” key is operated while performing a projection operation according to the image signal input from the input / output unit 11 at that time. Wait to be done.

  Regarding the operation of the “menu” key and the “display selection” key, as described above, the operation unit 21 may accept key operation signals from the key operation unit of the projector 1 main body and the dedicated remote controller. Operates the click key 3b of the point pen 3 to project a plurality of item names including “menu” and “display selection” on a part of the projection image PI, and according to the subsequent point operation and the click key 3a operation It is good also as what selects either.

  If the “menu” key is operated, the CPU 18 determines that in step S102, and in response to the key operation, replaces the input image projected so far with the main menu image from the program memory 20. The image is read out, and the image is displayed by the micromirror element 14 and projected from the projection lens unit 17 (step S104).

  From the state in which the main menu screen is projected, it waits until the “projection range” item in the submenu is further selected (step S105).

  When the “projection range” item is selected, the CPU 18 reads the selectable “shape setting item” from the program memory 20 and projects the list screen in response to the selection operation (step S106).

  FIG. 5 is a diagram exemplifying a list screen SW of the shape of the projection range projected at a part of the projection image PI at this time. As shown in the figure, in the present embodiment, the shape of the projected image PI can be arbitrarily selected from the candidates of “square”, “circular”, “ellipse”, “two-point diagonal setting”, and “n-point setting”. Shall.

  Here, the “square” is the shape of the projection image PI shown in FIG. 5, and the display area of the micromirror element 14 is used to the maximum and no image non-projection part is provided. In this drawing, this item is expressed by surrounding it with a wavy line so as to indicate that the shape of the currently selected projection range is “square”.

  “Circular” is a range within the range that can be centered on an arbitrary position in the current projected image PI, and if necessary, the radius is selected as the projection range, and the other ranges are muted. To do. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that this item “circular” is provisionally selected because the point mark PT is located nearby.

  The “elliptical” is a range that can be centered on an arbitrary position in the current projected image PI, and only the elliptical range is a projection range, and other ranges are muted. It is assumed that not only the center position but also the short axis and the long axis can be set by the user.

  In the “two-point diagonal setting”, only a rectangular range in which two arbitrary point positions in the current projection image PI are diagonal positions is set as a projection range, and other ranges are muted.

  “Setting n points” is a projection range only within an n-gonal range having a plurality of n points (n: a natural number of 3 or more) in the current projection image PI as vertices, and mutes other ranges. .

  The CPU 18 waits until the click key 3a of the point pen 3 is operated until any shape is selected from the state in which the list screen SW of the shape of the projection range is projected as shown in FIG. Step S107).

  Whether to select any shape from the state in which the list screen SW is projected is determined by, for example, the user's intention by accepting an operation such as a cross key provided on a key operation unit of the projector 1 main body or a dedicated remote controller. The selection of the shape according to the above may be accepted.

  If any of the shapes is selected, the CPU 18 that has determined that in step S107 next determines whether or not there is an item to be additionally set for the selected shape (step S108).

  Only when it is determined that there is an item to be set accompanyingly, the CPU 18 executes a process of setting the other attached item according to the user's operation (step S109).

  FIG. 6 shows a setting example when the “circular” shape is selected. FIG. 6 shows a state in which the center point O is set at substantially the center in the projection range PR. After the center position is set, it is incidentally set as a setting item based on the set center point O position (set position). Then, after changing the circular projection range PR at regular intervals so as to sequentially repeat the enlargement and reduction, the projection range PR having a radius size at the time when the click key 3a of the point pen 3 is operated is set. .

  The stop position may be designated by the point pen 3, or a pointer to an image being projected by accepting an operation of a cross key provided on a key operation unit of the projector 1 main body or a dedicated remote controller. It is also possible to superimpose images and to operate this pointer image according to the user's intention.

  FIG. 7 shows a setting example when the “two-point diagonal setting” shape is selected. Here, only a rectangular range in which two arbitrary positions (setting positions) in the original rectangular projection image PI are diagonal positions is set as a projection range, and the click key of the point pen 3 at the first point P11. 3a is clicked and moved to an arbitrary point position P12 in the drag state with the click key 3a being operated, and when the desired point position is reached, the operation of the click key 3a is released, thereby causing the points P11 and P12 to move. A rectangular projection range PR as a diagonal line can be set.

  Note that the two-point position may be designated by the point pen 3, or by accepting an operation such as a cross key provided on the key operation unit of the projector 1 main body or a dedicated remote controller, to the image being projected. A pointer image may be superimposed so that the pointer image can be designated according to the user's intention.

  FIG. 8 shows a setting example when the “n-point setting” shape is selected. Here, only the n-gonal range having an arbitrary n-point position (installation position) in the original rectangular projection image PI as a vertex is set as the projection range.

  When the first point P21 to the third point P23 are designated by the operation of the click key 3a of the point pen 3, the projection range PR appears, and thereafter, the fourth point P24 and the fifth point P25 are designated sequentially. The range of the projection range PR can be widened.

  The setting is completed by long-pressing the click key 3a or operating the click key 3b in a state where all point positions are designated.

  Note that the n-point position may be designated by the point pen 3, or by accepting an operation such as a cross key provided on a key operation unit of the projector 1 main body or a dedicated remote controller, an image being projected can be displayed. A pointer image may be superimposed so that the pointer image can be designated according to the user's intention.

  After completing the setting of the incidental items as necessary depending on the shape selected as described above, projection in a new projection range PR is started without projecting an image other than the projection range PR (step S110). Then, the process returns to step S101. When the projection is performed following the above-described processing flow, the display form of the input image is a display form in which the image is not deformed according to the projection range PR.

  If it is determined in step S103 that the “display selection” key has been operated, the CPU 18 has already deformed the image in accordance with the projection range PR and the image display form in accordance with the shadow range PR. Is determined (step S111).

  If it is determined that the image display form has already been deformed in accordance with the projection range PR, the CPU 18 cancels the setting of the display form and starts from the range of the projection range PR set at that time. After setting so as not to project the image of the off-image non-projected portion, that is, after returning the initial setting of the display mode described above (step S112), the process returns to the process from step S101 again.

  If you do not want to distort the projected image, you can select this image deformation. When this process flow is followed, the display form of the input image is always a display form that does not deform the image in accordance with the projection range PR.

  If it is determined in step S111 that the image display form is not yet deformed in accordance with the projection range PR at that time, the CPU 18 changes the display form of the input image again. That is, in order to express all the contents corresponding to the input image signal within the projection range PR set at that time, the corresponding image signal deformation formula is read out from the program memory 20 as the image change setting (step). S113) After starting projection within the projection range PR of the shape set based on the read deformation formula (step S114), the process returns to step S101.

  When the flow of this process is followed, the display form of the input image always represents all the contents corresponding to the input image signal within the projection range PR.

  Note that the image display mode described here expresses all the contents corresponding to the input image signal within the set projection range PR, and thus the image to be projected is distorted. As described above, since the image may be distorted, when it is desired to project all the contents according to the input image signal, it is preferable to select the display form of the image.

  As described above in detail, according to the present embodiment, the shape of the projected image can be set by a very simple operation using the dedicated point pen 3.

  In the above embodiment, for example, two points indicating diagonal positions of a quadrangle are specified by operating the point pen 3, and the position coordinates indicating the projection range with respect to a predetermined shape are specified together so that it is easily desired. You can specify the position of the shape.

  Furthermore, in the above embodiment, by specifying the position coordinates of n (n: a natural number of 3 or more) vertices that define the shape of the projection range, as shown in “n-point setting” of the shape of the projection range, Can set the projection range of an arbitrary polygon with vertices as the apex, so even when setting the screen as a projection object with a special shape, such as a silhouette of a tree covered with snow, the operation required for the setting can be simplified .

  In addition, the image in the range outside the shape of the designated projection range is not projected with respect to the input image signal, or the input image signal is transformed so that it can be expressed entirely within the shape of the designated projection range, Either one of them may be selectable, and by making such an operation possible, it is possible to realize projection based on more various expressions.

  In addition, in the above-described embodiment, for example, as described in “circular” of the shape of the projection range, after specifying the center position, the projection range PR that is enlarged or reduced as needed while maintaining the shape of the selected projection range is desired. By performing the necessary operations when the size reaches the desired size, the projection range PR can be set by stopping the change in size, so that the desired projection can be easily performed with an operation that is easy to understand visually. The range PR can be set.

  In the above-described embodiment, it is described that the user arbitrarily selects and sets the shape of the projection range, but the operation is such that the shape of the projection range changes randomly as time passes, and the shape change of the projection range It is also possible to arbitrarily set the time.

  For example, when an item “random projection” is created on the projection range shape list screen SW, and the item “random projection” is selected, the shape of the projection range is set to the time according to the projection program determined in advance by the user. It is possible to be able to set an operation that changes randomly as time passes.

  Specifically, when the item “Random Projection” is selected, projection is first performed in the shape of the projection range shown in FIG. 6, and after 5 minutes, projection is performed in the shape of the projection range shown in FIG. Later, it is possible to project in the shape of the projection range shown in FIG.

  Further, the display form may be changed randomly as time passes.

  By making such items settable, diversification of projection forms can be realized.

  Further, for example, an item “memory shape” is created on the projection range shape list screen SW, and when the “memory shape” item is selected, the shape of the projection range previously set by the user can be read out. Any configuration may be used.

  In the above embodiment, since the position coordinates obtained from the image projected using the point pen 3 can be detected and the shape of the projection range is designated, the operability of the user is improved and the user can be more intuitive. A simple operating environment.

  In this embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to a projector that projects an image has been described. However, the present invention is also applied to a display control device such as a television, a smartphone, a PC, or a digital photo frame that displays an image, or an image. Of course, it may be used for a printer or the like for printing.

  In addition to the shape of the projection range shown in the above embodiment, various shapes such as a star shape, a triangle shape, a hexagon shape, and the like may be set as selectable shapes.

  In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention in the implementation stage. Further, the functions executed in the above-described embodiments may be combined as appropriate as possible. The above-described embodiment includes various stages, and various inventions can be extracted by an appropriate combination of a plurality of disclosed constituent elements.
