Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a display system which greatly expands the resolution limit of a multi-window OS (operating system) having a GUI.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional displays for personal computers have one screen, and the same applies to high-resolution displays, and conventional displays have one screen.

[0003]

The first problem of the conventional display is that the conventional technique has a limitation in the screen size even if a high resolution display is used.

The reason is that the display resolution of the display is limited.

The present invention has been developed in view of such circumstances, and the present invention makes it possible to connect a plurality of displays to make them appear as one display and use a larger screen. It is possible.

[0006]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a plurality of displays, a pseudo fake means,
Information dissemination means, the pseudo appearance means is connected to a personal computer and makes the operating system of the personal computer imitate the plurality of displays as if they were a single display and information from the operating system. Is sent to the information distributing means, the information distributing means is connected to the pseudo appearance means and the plurality of displays, receives information from the operating system, and receives the information from the plurality of displays. It is possible to obtain a display system characterized in that it is a means for deciding which of the above-mentioned display is to be performed and passing it to each of the plurality of displays.

According to the second aspect of the invention, there is provided the display system according to the first aspect, wherein each of the plurality of displays is a high resolution display.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the information distributing means is capable of holding all screen information of the plurality of displays, and the display according to the first or second aspect. The system is obtained.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the display includes a plurality of displays, a dedicated board, and a display common box, the dedicated board is connected to a personal computer, and the operating system of the personal computer includes the plurality of the plurality of displays. The display is used to make the display look like a single display and to notify the display sharing box of information from the operating system. The display sharing box is connected to the dedicated board and the plurality of displays. A display system for receiving information from the operating system, determining which of the plurality of displays should display the information, and passing the information to each of the plurality of displays. Obtained.

According to the invention of claim 5, the display system according to claim 4 is obtained in which each of the plurality of displays is a high resolution display.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, the display common box can hold all screen information of the plurality of displays, and the display according to the fourth or fifth aspect. The system is obtained.

[0012]

In the operating system of the personal computer, pseudo display means for making a plurality of displays appear as one display is connected to the personal computer, and information distribution means is connected to the pseudo display means. By connecting the above displays, for example, by combining four high resolution displays with a limit of 800 × 600 display, it is possible to make the high resolution display of 1600 × 1200 display simulated from the multi-window OS.

[0013]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION A display system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, this display system includes four high resolution displays 11, 12, 13,
14, a dedicated board (pseudo-pseudo-means) 2 and a display common box (information distribution means) 3.
The dedicated board 2 is connected to a PC (personal computer) body 4, and an OS (operating sys
tem) 40 with four displays 11, 12, 13, 1
4 is made to look like one display, and information from the OS 40 is notified to the shared display box 3. Display common box 3
Is a dedicated board 2 and 11, 1 of 4 displays
2, 13 and 14 receive information from the OS 40 and receive this information from the four displays 11, 12, 1
It is determined which of the displays 3 and 14 is to be displayed, and the determined display is passed to the four displays 11, 12, 13, and 14, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 1A, four high-resolution displays 11, 12, 13, 14 are connected to a display common box 3, a dedicated board 2 is inserted in a PC body 4, and the dedicated board 2 And display shared box 3
A dedicated cable 5 is used to connect between and.

The display common box 3 has a memory 30 for holding screen information of the four displays 11, 12, 13, 14 and stores data in each of the displays 11, 1.
Send to 2, 13, 14.

The dedicated board 2 is the OS 40 in the PC body 4.
4 displays 11, 12,
It works to show 13 and 14 on one display.

For example, assume that four displays 11, 12, 13, and 14 having a resolution of 800 × 600 are connected.
The dedicated board 2 receives the information from the shared display box 3 and makes the multi-window OS appear to be connected to one display with a resolution of 1600 × 1200 as shown in FIG. 1B. If the OS opens a new window, the dedicated board 2
Is passed to the display shared box 3, and the display shared box 3 judges which display should display the information and passes the data to each of the displays 11, 12, 13, and 14. .

The display preferably has a high resolution, but of course, a low resolution or a normal resolution can be used in the present invention.

[0020]

The first effect of the present invention is that it is possible to provide a large screen of high resolution even with a low resolution display.
The reason is that by connecting multiple displays, it is possible to show them on one display.

The second effect of the present invention is that it can be used as a display having a resolution four times as wide as the conventional resolution by connecting, for example, four displays.
The reason is that a plurality of display screens can be handled as one screen by connecting to the information distribution means.

[Brief description of drawings]

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which (a) is a system configuration diagram and (b) is an example of a screen.
