Abstract

PURPOSE:To make a picture easy for audience to see by displaying only display data, which is displayed on a display picture for announcer, out of the display data and additional information for announcer on a display picture for audience. CONSTITUTION:An additional information generating part 111 reads data of designated additional information from an announcement data storage part 102 and converts it to display data and transfers the data to a drawing information selecting part 103. The drawing information selecting part 103 transfers display data to drawing control parts 104 and 105 in accordance with display lists 113-1 and 113-2; but in the case of additional information, display data is transferred to only the drawing control part 105 for announcer because the name of the additional information generating part 111 is entered only in the display list 113-2 for announcer. Consequently, additional information is displayed only on a display device 114 for announcer, and information of the announcer is not seen by the audience. Thus, the display picture easy for the audience to see is generated.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a presentation system that displays presentation data created by a data processing device on a large screen for the audience, and particularly relates to a presentation system that controls the progress of the presentation. The present invention relates to a presentation support method and apparatus suitable for facilitating presentations and reducing the burden on presenters.

[Conventional technology] When presenting at various conferences and academic conferences, conventionally, slides and O
In the past, presentation systems have been developed in recent years, and presenters are now able to make presentations by displaying the content they created on a data processing device on a large screen. There is.

As a conventional presentation system, JP-A-63
There are those described in JP-A-204215 and JP-A-64-70823. In a normal presentation system, the content of the presentation created using a data processing device is simply displayed on a large screen for the audience, but when giving a presentation, you may want to point to a certain point on the display screen or add supplementary explanations. There are many. Therefore, in this conventional technology, coordinates can be input using a coordinate entry cover to point to a predetermined location, handwritten characters, figures, etc. can be input and these can be displayed superimposed on the screen display. A command selection menu for screen scrolling, etc. is provided on the screen, and the display screen can be controlled using this coordinate input panel.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Conventional presentation systems display presentation data created by a data processing device as is on the audience screen. For example, in the above-mentioned conventional technology, the data created by the data processing device is displayed as is on a large screen, and the data input from the coordinate entry panel is simply displayed overlaid thereon.

In other words, the presenter display screen viewed by the presenter and the audience display screen display the same data.

When presenting using slides, etc., the presenter should:
I wrote down notes on supplementary explanations of the content to be presented, the order in which I should point out, etc., and referred to these notes during the presentation. A presentation system that displays the presentation content created on a data processing device on a large screen.
Conventionally, there was no consideration given to the memo writing necessary for this presentation, and for this reason, even when presenting using expensive equipment,
This memo must be made separately. In other words, in conventional presentation systems, even if the memo contents are created using a data processing device, the memo contents are also displayed on the audience display screen at the same time, so the memo must be written separately on paper.

In addition, when displaying the presentation content on the audience display screen, conventionally all the display content of one presenter display screen is displayed on the audience display screen, so the screen displayed on the presenter display screen There is also the problem that command selection icons such as scrolling are also displayed on the audience display screen, making the audience display screen difficult to see.

Furthermore, if characters are displayed in an outline font, for example, in order to improve the display on the audience display screen, the amount of data will be enormous, and the presenter will have to use a data processing device to proceed with the presentation and conduct Q&A. However, there is also the problem that the data processing device must process a large amount of data, resulting in poor responsiveness and hindering the smooth progress of the presentation.

A first object of the present invention is to provide a presentation support method and device that eliminates the need to prepare separate notes when giving a presentation and allows the audience to view an easy-to-read screen.

A second object of the present invention is to provide a presentation support method and device that does not reduce the processing speed of a data processing device operated by a presenter even when the audience can view an easy-to-read screen. It is in.

[Means for solving the problem] The first purpose above is that when a presentation is made by displaying the content displayed on the presenter display screen on the audience display screen, the presentation data displayed on the presenter display screen is This is achieved by displaying only the presentation data on the display screen for the audience among the additional information for the presenter.

The second purpose is to convert the drawing information displayed on the audience display screen into simplified data when displaying the content to be presented on the audience display screen and a separate presenter display screen. This is achieved by displaying it on the presenter display screen.

[Function] In the present invention, content to be displayed to the audience and additional information to be displayed only to the presenter are distinguished, and the content to be displayed to the audience is displayed on the audience display screen and the presenter display screen. Since the additional information is displayed only on the presenter's display screen, there is no extra information on the audience's display screen, making it easier to see. Furthermore, since notes necessary for proceeding with the presentation are displayed on the presenter display screen, it is possible to proceed with the presentation while referring to these notes.

Also, when displaying data on the presenter screen, the data displayed on the audience display screen is converted and simplified.
By configuring this to be processed by a data processing device that controls the display of the presenter display screen, the amount of data processed by this data processing device is reduced, making it possible to perform presentation control with good responsiveness. In addition, clear characters, etc. can be displayed on the audience display screen, making it easier to see.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a presentation support device according to a first embodiment of the present invention. This presentation support device includes display devices 108 and 114 that perform display on the presenter side and audience side, and drawing control units 104 and 105 that generate content to be displayed on each display device 108 and 114, respectively. a drawing information selection unit 103 that selects whether to transfer display data to a computer; a presentation content generation unit 110 that generates display data for presentation from data read from a storage device (to be described later); additional information generation units 111 and 112 that generate additional information such as guidance equivalent to notes written by a person and a timer indicating the elapsed presentation time; and a presentation data storage that stores data for generating presentation content and additional information. 102, input devices such as a keyboard 115 and a mouse 116 through which the presenter inputs commands to control the progress of the presentation, and a presentation control section 101 that controls the entire presentation system (presentation support device).

The drawing information selection unit 103 internally stores a display list 113- for storing the names of each display information generation unit that generates the content to be displayed on the audience 2 presenter display devices 108.1 and 4.
1.1] has 3-2. The drawing control section 104 has an attribute information storage section 1.06 that stores drawing attributes such as the size of the window 1, corresponding to the name of each drawing information generation section that is sent.

Next, the flow of presentation control processing will be explained. When a command to display the presentation content is input from the presenter input devices 1 ], 5 , ], ], 6, the presentation control unit 101 first performs initial settings for displaying the presentation content. Therefore, the presentation control section 101 instructs the presentation content generation section 110 to receive presentation data from the presentation data storage section 102 to prepare for startup. If the content to be displayed is presentation content, the drawing information selection unit 103 is instructed to send data from the presentation generation unit 110 to both the audience drawing control unit 104 and the presenter drawing control unit 105. Instruct. In response to this display selection command, the drawing information selection unit 103 writes the name of the presentation content generation unit 110 in the audience display list +13-1 and the presenter display list 113-2, and writes the name of the presentation content generation unit 110 in the audience display list +13-1 and the presenter display list 113-2. Preparations are made to send the following display data to the audience drawing control section 104 and the presenter drawing control section 105. Furthermore, the presentation control unit 101 specifies drawing attributes such as the display position and display size of the display data from the presentation content generation unit 110 to the audience drawing control unit 104 and the presenter drawing control unit 105. . Each drawing control unit 1.04,1
05 stores each attribute information in the attribute information value storage units 106 and 107 for the presentation content generation unit 110 according to this drawing attribute instruction command.

After performing initial settings for display, the presentation control section 101 activates the presentation content generation section 110.

As a result, the presentation content generation section 110 starts reading presentation data from the presentation data storage section 102, converts the data into display data, and transfers the display data to the drawing information selection section 103. Then, the drawing information selection unit 103 selects the display list 11.3-1. ．． 113-2, display data is sent to each drawing control unit 104. Drawing control unit 104
, 105 performs drawing according to the attribute information stored in the attribute information storage unit 106 of the display data and displays it on each display device 108, 114. With the above operation,
The content of the presentation instructed by the presenter is displayed in a predetermined size on both the audience display device 108 and the presenter display device 114.

Furthermore, this presentation system performs the following operations when displaying additional information.

When an instruction to display additional information such as guidance is input from the presenter's input bag 9115.116, the presentation control unit 101 performs initial settings for display, as in the case of displaying the presentation contents described above. First, the additional information generation section 111 reads desired additional information data from the data storage section 102 to generate additional information display data, and prepares for activation. Next, the presentation control unit 101 activates the additional information generation unit 11.
A display selection command is issued to the drawing information selection unit 103 so that the display data of No. 1 is displayed only on the display device 114 for the presenter.

As a result, the additional information generating unit 1 ],
1 name will be remembered and displayed list for the audience 11.3
-1 does not store the name of the corresponding additional information generation unit 111. As a result, the display data of the corresponding additional information generation section 111 is transferred only to the drawing control section 105 for the presenter. Next, the presentation control unit 101 specifies drawing attributes to the drawing selection unit 105 for the presenter.

After performing the above initial settings, the presentation control section 101 instructs the corresponding additional information generation section 111 to start up. The corresponding additional information generation unit 111 reads out data of specified additional information such as guidance from the presentation data storage unit 102, converts it into display data, and transfers the display data to the drawing information selection unit 103. The drawing information selection unit 103 transfers the display data to the next drawing control units 104 and 105 according to the display lists 1.13-1 and 113-2, but in the case of additional information, the display data is transferred to the display list for the presenter. Since the name of the additional information generation unit 111 is only in 113-2, the display data is transferred only to the drawing control unit 105 for the presenter. Thereby, the additional information can be displayed only on the presenter's display device 114, and private information such as the presenter's guidance can be displayed on the presenter's display device 114 without being shown to the audience. Here, the additional information includes not only presentation tools such as guidance and timers, but also information related to the content of the presentation and the operating environment of the presentation system such as a command menu. As a result, unnecessary displays other than the content of the presentation are not displayed on the display device 108 on the audience side, and a display screen that is easy for the audience to view is generated.

FIG. 2(a) shows a display example on the presentation support device shown in FIG. 1. In this presentation support device, a presenter uses a presenter display device 114, a keyboard 115, a mouse 116, etc.
Progress and control the presentation using input devices such as . On the other hand, the audience can use a large display screen 108 different from that of the presenter.
Understand the presentation by looking at it. In addition to the presentation content displayed on the audience side, the display screen 114 on the presenter side also displays a command menu 201, a timer 212. Guidance 213. Presentation tools such as a page break button 211 are displayed. Further, on the display screen 108 on the audience side, only the content of the presentation is displayed, and additional information such as various windows, frames, guidance 213, command menu 201, etc. necessary for controlling the presentation is not displayed.

In this presentation system, the presenter mainly uses the mouse 116 for control. A mouse cursor 210 that is moved by the mouse 116 is displayed on the presenter's display screen 114. By moving the mouse cursor 210 and picking on the displayed object, the presenter can instruct the presentation control unit 101 to perform the action specified for the displayed object. In this system, this mechanism is realized by the following method.

As shown in FIG. 2(b), the presentation data storage unit 102 includes, in addition to the display content 203, a display area 2042,
Actions 205 and 206 for input events 1 to 1 (picks with the mouse 116, etc.) occurring within that area are stored. In this embodiment, such data is referred to as a graphic object. When the presenter picks the left button of the mouse 116, the left mouse pick, which is an event generated from the mouse 116, and the position where the event occurs are sent to the presentation control unit 101. The presentation control unit 101
When an input event is input from the mouse 116, each display information generation unit 110, 111, 112 displays an operation definition related to the event at the position where the input event occurred in the currently displayed display data. Inquire whether a certain graphic object 1- exists. If there is a graphical object, the presentation control unit 101 instructs each display information generation unit 110 to interpret and execute its operation.
．． 111, 112. For example, the graphic object ``Problem!'' 1202 in FIG. 2(a) includes a display area 20 as shown in FIG.
4 and actions 205 and 206 are defined. When the presenter picks the left button of the mouse 116 on this graphic, the presentation control unit 101 generates a graphic object “Problem, l 202” in which the behavior corresponding to the event is specified in the presentation content generation unit 110. Then, the presentation control unit 101 transmits the specified operation 205 to the presentation content generation unit 110.
instruct them to do so. As a result, the graphic object "problem y202" starts blinking on the display screen 114 for the presenter and the large screen 108 for the audience.

This allows the system to achieve the effects required for presentations. In addition, in this system, the command menu 201 and buttons 211 for presentation control such as page breaks are also realized by a combination of the above-mentioned graphical objects.

In this embodiment, the function of the graphic object described above is used to realize a function of interlocking presentation progress with additional information.

In other words, as shown in FIG. 3, the action A303 is associated with the graphic object A "Problem, jl 301, and when the left button is picked, this action A303 is highlighted. The guidance is updated to guidance A305. ''.On the other hand, the graphic object Bli' solution J302 has an action B504.
is related, and its action B504 is defined as "When the left button is picked, this figure is highlighted and the guidance is updated to guidance B506."

By performing the above operation definition in advance, when making a presentation, the presenter picks the graphic object "Problem J301" according to the presentation. Then, the presentation control unit 1
01 interprets the operation of the graphical object "Problem j 301," first instructs the presentation content generation unit 1]0 to highlight this graphical object, and then displays guidance. The additional information generation unit 111 (guidance information generation unit) is instructed to change the guidance to guidance A305 and display it.The presentation further progresses and the presenter picks up the graphic object “Solution J302”. Then, the presentation control unit 101 instructs the presentation content generation unit 110 to highlight the figure from 1 to 1 in accordance with the action B504 related to the graphic object, and also instructs the presentation content generation unit 110 to highlight the figure from 1 to 1. to change the guidance to guidance B506. As mentioned above, in this system,
This interlocking function allows the presenter to update additional information (guidance) in conjunction with the progress of the presentation by simply picking the necessary points.

In a presentation system, it is necessary to display a beautiful display on a display device for the audience, but in many cases, a display device for a presenter can be displayed in an abbreviated form so that the presenter can understand the content. By realizing this, unnecessary processing can be omitted and a high-speed and efficient presentation system can be constructed. Next, as a second embodiment, a presentation system that performs abbreviated display will be described using FIG. 4. In the example shown in FIG. 4, when displaying characters, the audience display device 108 displays them in an outline font 410 that can be displayed beautifully, and the presenter's display device 14 displays them at high speed. The display is performed using the dots 1 to 1 to 411 that can be displayed.

Further, when displaying a video for presentation, the video is displayed 420 only on the display device for the audience, and only the outer frame 421 of the video is displayed on the display device for the presenter. This 2
A method for realizing abbreviated display will be specifically explained using two examples.

In this embodiment, each display information generation unit 110, 111, 11

01 is provided. Then, the drawing control unit 104 converts the display data using the conversion data, and then draws and displays the data on each display device 1.08. ], 14. In this embodiment as well, the presentation control unit] 9 101 controls each drawing control unit 10 before displaying the presentation data.
4, and at that time, data is also set in the conversion data storage section 40 and 402.

An example of the data setting will be explained using the example shown in FIG. When rereading character data, the audience side drawing control unit 1
For the conversion data storage unit 401 of 04, character attribute 1
``Gothic font'' is changed to ``Ara 1 ~ Line Font Gothic''
', and the presenter-side drawing control unit 10
For the conversion data storage unit 402 of No. 5, character attributes...
Instruct them to read Gothic font as (・dot 7 on 1 ~ Gothic'').

Then, display data for displaying "Gothic" characters is sent from the presentation content generation unit 110 to each drawing control unit 104 and 105.
, the drawing control unit 104 on the audience side refers to the conversion data storage unit 401 corresponding to the presentation content generation unit 110 and sets the character attribute “Gothic” when displaying the character. 1 outline font]/Koshitsuku'', and a beautiful display 410 is performed using the outline font.Meanwhile, when the presenter's display device 1111 receives the same Gothic character display data, the presentation content generation unit 110 Referring to the corresponding conversion data storage unit 402, the character attribute "Gothic" is converted to "dot phono 1-gothic", and high-speed display is performed using the dot font 411. As a result, the display on the presenter's side is displayed on the audience's side. It is possible to create a presentation system that has a simpler display than the conventional display and has a faster processing speed.

In addition, in the case of video display, each of the above-mentioned conversion data storage units 401. , 402, an instruction to "ignore video data" is given to the presenter conversion data storage unit 402. In this presentation system, graphic data has a data structure 403 consisting of two parts, a header part 404 and a data part 408, as shown in FIG. In particular, in the case of video data, the header section 404 includes a type 405 indicating that it is a video, an area 40G on the video display screen, and a data number 407 that follows. The presentation-side drawing control unit 105 controls the presentation content generation unit 11
Drawing is performed by referring to each attribute information and conversion data while interpreting the display information from 0. However, if the information is a moving image, this Know that the video in the display data string is ignored. Then, the presenter drawing control unit 105 refers to the display area 406 of the header section 404 of the video information, displays a rectangle 421 corresponding to the area on the display screen 114, and informs the presenter of the existence of the video area. . Next, the presenter drawing control unit 105 refers to the number of data 407 in the video information,
Ignore the following data for that number of data. As a result, the predetermined moving image is displayed on the display device 108 on the audience side, and only its outer frame 421 is displayed on the presenter side. This eliminates the need for the presenter's display device 114 to perform the heavy processing of displaying moving images, making it possible to realize an efficient presentation system.

Next, an example of a presentation system that controls multiple audience screens will be shown. FIG. 5 shows a configuration diagram of this embodiment. In this embodiment, the first embodiment, which is a presentation system for a single audience screen, is expanded to correspond to screen display devices for multiple audiences. Therefore, in contrast to the first embodiment, drawing control units 503 and 504 and presentation content generation units 501 and 502 are provided for each screen.

Furthermore, a presentation content management unit 500 is added that collectively manages the presentation content generation units 501 and 502.

In this embodiment, the presenter specifies the number of audience screens in advance using an input device such as keyboard+<US, or learns the number of audience screens through a hardware test. As a result, the presentation system generates the presentation content generation unit 501. according to the number of screens. , 502 and the drawing control units 503 and 504. Furthermore, as presentation data for multiple screens, an entry 507 for specifying an audience screen on which presentation data is displayed is included in the conventional presentation data.
