Description

1253036 玖、發明說明: (一) 發明所屬之技術區域 本發明係關於一種可將複數圖像形成裝置所輸出之圖像 資料顯示在一個畫面上之圖像顯示裝置及圖像顯示系統。 (二) 先前技術 近年,已見諸有一種圖像顯示裝置,可將具有複數之輸 入頻道、不同圖像形成裝置中所形成之圖像資料,形成在 一個畫面者。此種具有多監視器(multi-monitor)機能之圖像 顯示裝置,例如,具有用以輸入來自各圖像形成裝置之圖 像資料的輸入端子,將所輸入之圖像資料彙整於一個畫面 上作顯示’因而可將複數之圖像資料顯示在同一個畫面上。 又,亦見諸有另一種圖像顯示裝置,係可對複數圖像形 成裝置所輸入之圖像資料作放大、縮小等之圖像處理。此 種圖像顯示裝置內部係設有圖像處理裝置,而圖像形成裝 置輸出之圖像資料中,則含有識別資訊 '用以顯示資料係 哪一個圖像形成裝置所形成,及必要作圖像處理之資訊。 具有該種構成之設備中,圖像顯示裝置係基於識別資訊, 而判別資料係自哪一個圖像形成裝置所輸出,對於同一個 圖像形成裝置所輸出之圖像資料,一律實行放大、縮小之 圖像處理(例如,專利文獻1參照)。 專利文獻1 :特開2 0 0 2 - 1 4 6 6 4號公報 發明內容 發明擬解決之問題 但是,習用具有多顯示機能之圖像顯示裝置,卻具有對 -5- 1253036 圖像形成裝置之機能及圖像形成裝置所生成之圖像資料無 法作有效活用之問題,以下’即就該問題點逐一作說明。 爲了簡單,圖像形成裝置可假設爲PC。使用習用具有習 知多顯示機能、其係使用該種圖像形成裝置之圖像顯示裝 置時’圖像形成裝置係分別對應圖像顯示裝置之全畫面而 輸出圖像資料。具體言之,例如,圖像顯示裝置之顯示畫 素數爲XGA(1024x768)時,圖像顯示裝置與所連接之複數 個圖像形成裝置,係生成所分別對應之X G A之圖像資料, 而對圖像顯示裝置作輸出。 另一方面’爲了使複數圖像形成裝置所輸出之圖像資料 得以在同一個畫面上作顯不,則在圖像顯示裝置側,必須 實行圖像大小之壓縮。例如,如爲4個圖像形成裝置時, 則須把分別輸出之圖像資料予以壓縮成全畫面畫數之1/4 ,亦即須壓縮至1 2x3 84之大小。爲此,對於圖像形成裝置 內所生成之圖像資料,乃須於圖像顯示裝置內再作處理。 因之,習用具有多顯示機能之圖像顯示裝置,儘管圖像 形成裝置具有圖像形成機能,惟乃須實行別種大小變更之 處理。如此,習用技術乃須同時具備重複機能之圖像形成 裝置與圖像顯示裝置兩者,如擬對圖像形成裝置內之機能 作有效之活用,將甚困難。 又,具有習知多顯示機能之圖像顯示裝置,其所顯示資 訊量之圖像資料,亦必無法等同於圖像形成裝置側生成之 圖像資料的資訊量,此亦爲一種問題。以下,就具有可顯 示XGA大小之圖像顯示裝置,與具有XGA大小之像素資 -6- 1253036 料生成機能,在同一畫面上可同時顯示圖像資料、可輸出 相關之5 1 2 X 3 8 4圖像資料的圖像形成裝置之圖像顯示系統 爲例作說明。 在該種圖像顯示系統中,假設可將來自使用者之圖像形 成裝置所輸出之圖像資料作全畫面之取得,亦即,可作;[〇 2 4 X768之解像度顯示。此種狀況,具有習用多顯示機能之圖 像顯不裝置,係把具有圖像形成裝置所輸出之5丨2 x 3 8 4解 像度的圖像資料,單純作2倍之放大顯示。 亦即’構成圖像顯示系統之圖像形成裝置,儘管是可直 接輸出XGA大小之圖像資料,但圖像形成裝置亦輸出512 x3 8 4解像度之資訊量較少的圖像資料,在圖像顯示裝置側 ’仍對圖像大小作2倍放大。因之,上述之圖像顯示系統 ’在圖像形成裝置側,其顯示資訊量之圖像即比本來實現 之資訊量還低。 本發明即鑑於前述諸種問題,而提供一種圖像顯示裝置 及Η像顯不系統’其目的係可將圖像形成裝置之機能作最 大限度之活用,並可作大資訊量之影像顯示者。 爲了解決上述問題而達成所預期之目的,如申請專利範 圍第1項之圖像顯示裝置,係一種可將複數個圖像形成裝 置所輸出之圖像資料顯示在一個畫面上之圖像顯示裝置,

小後所顯示之圖像,不致使品位低下,而可作高品位圖像 之顯示。 又,本實施例之圖像顯示系統,具有可對具有高資訊量 之圖像作顯示的優點。亦即,使用習用之圖像顯示裝置時 ,既使發生顯示區域之變化時,由圖像形成裝置2輸出之 圖像資料亦不致有所變化,僅單爲顯示圖像大小產生變化 。結果’既使擬知道例如使用者側之圖像形成裝置所輸出 之圖像資料的細部而指示顯示區域之放大時,僅單作圖像 大小之放大,故具有不能得知細部內容之問題。 對此’在本貫施例之圖像顯示系統,在例如係放大顯示 區域之狀況時,係依對應於顯示區域之放大的顯示資訊, 在圖像形成裝置2作輸出,於圖像形成裝置2側,即可生 成、輸出對應於顯示區域之放大的高精細圖像資料。因之 -27- 1253036 ,在本實施例之圖像顯示系統乃具有對應於顯示區域之變 化,可將具有含於變化之顯示區域內、可能之最大資訊量 的圖像予以顯示之優點。 此外,在本實施例之圖像顯示系統,備置有實行補助處 理的比例變換部9、資料變換部1 9,故亦具有優點。亦即 ,本實施例之圖像顯示系統,係把伴隨原則性顯示區域之 變更的處理委由圖像形成裝置2,在圖像顯示裝置內部則 作圖像形成裝置2側難以處理之工作。依此,如第7圖所 示無法對應於顯示部1 1之解像度的圖像形成裝置2,亦可 連接於本實施例之圖像顯示系統使用,因而具有可對應於 多樣化圖像形成裝置2之優點。又,內部所具之比例變換 部9確具有作爲補助性處理裝置之機能,故可令圖像形成 裝置2之機能發揮至最大限度,並可對應於多樣化之圖像 形成裝置者。 又,依本實施例之圖像顯示系統,具有複數之介面部5 ’對應於連接之複數個圖像形成裝置2,故藉顯示控制部 4可個別生成分別對應於來自圖像形成裝置2之圖像資料 的顯示資訊。據此,即可分別對各圖像形成裝置2供給最 適當之資訊’圖像顯示裝置並不拘泥僅爲連接複數個圖像 形成裝置2之構成’亦可以個別之圖像顯示裝置對個別之 圖像形成裝置2的構成,同樣可達成相同動作與機能。亦 即’依連接於圖像顯示裝置丨,各圖像形成裝置2,不須考 慮其與其他圖像形成裝置2之關係等,可基於自圖像顯示 裝置所通知之顯示資訊,實行圖像資料之生成、輸出等。 -28- 1253036 因此,在本實施例之圖像顯示系統,不必使用爲了對應多

The contents of control by the display control unit 4 and the control elements of the image display device will be described. Fig. 5 is a flow chart showing the operation of the display control unit 4 in the case of The flow of the diagram is explained below.  First of all, The display control unit 4 determines whether or not the area change information is input by the input unit 3 (step S 3 0 1 ). When there is input of such information, the display area change information is acquired (step S302)' and is memorized in the display memory unit 14. therefore, The display control unit 4 acquires information from the input information encoding unit 21 via the interface portions 5a to 5d (step S3 03).  after that, After considering the change of the display area input by the input unit 3, Make a decision to display the situation. that is, The characteristics of each image forming apparatus 2 are changed based on the display area, According to the algorithm, Determining a display aspect including the display area of the image data output from the image forming apparatus 2 and the display field equivalent information (step S 3 04), The display is memorized in the display memory unit 14.  therefore, The display control unit 4 displays the display information based on the determined display state. The image forming apparatus 2 is separately applied to the image forming apparatus 2 by:  The notification display information (step S305). The notified display information is sent to the image generation control unit 1 6 in the forming device 2. The image data control unit 16 controls the image data generating unit 15 based on the display information. The other steps below step S 3 06 are performed in the same manner as step S104~ (steps S 3 06 to S 309). Description of the display based on the determined display, Display information generated in the display control 4, And based on the display information in each image forming domain, the fifth display is That is, the information and the information from each of them are an i~2d image generation system.  S 107 部 Department The relationship between the image data generated in the device -21-1253036. The sixth-control unit 4 generates, Notifying the information by the interface 5; And a pattern diagram output from the image forming apparatus 2. also, As shown in the figures 6-1 and 6-2, only when one image forming apparatus 2 is connected, the apparatus is formed. The way of action is the same. also,  And the illustration shown in Figure 6-2, So that the image quality on the display is QUXGA-WIDE (3840x2400), Figure _ Image of large QUXGA-WIDE image data, as shown in Figure 6-1, First of all, Based on the display aspect of f, The display control unit 4 generates the U S B control 2 3 in the display 5, A notification is formed on the image. in particular, The control unit 4 determines, based on the input unit 3, that the field to be input by the image forming apparatus 2 is 1/4 of the full screen. That is, the resolution becomes the display.  therefore, The display control unit 4 performs control based on each component in the determined device. The display information notified by the forming device 2 is formed. also, If it has an image output from the image forming apparatus 2, However, at least the resolution associated with the image forming material should be included.  after that, The U S B control unit 23 in the display 5 generated by the display control unit 4 notifies the image form β that the self-provided USB terminal and the uSBi 1 and the sixth are provided. 2 is a diagram showing the relationship between the image data of the image forming apparatus 2, For easy understanding,  State's as a simple image, Therefore, the image decoding device 2 shown in the entirety of the sixth to eleventh can be made the most.  The information displayed by the display unit 1 1 is displayed by the face device 2 for displaying information. The display area of the image data is displayed in the display area of the 1920x1200, and the image is displayed. Implementing the generation of the image to display the content of the information,  The display area of the data relates to the image information output by the device 2, By means of the facial device 2 device 2. The image forming device vacant portion 2 3 is configured as an electrical connection -22- 1253036, Therefore, the display information generated by the display control unit 4 can be recognized. With ~, in fact, The image generation control unit 1 6 ' in the image forming apparatus 2 can recognize the display information and perform analysis of the displayed information content.  Because of it, Image forming apparatus 2, In the image data generating unit 15 5, Image data is generated based on the displayed information. that is, When the image forming apparatus 2 has a function of generating image data of a maximum resolution of 384 〇 x 24 〇 0 and outputting it,  Because the information displayed in the display contains information about the resolution, The image data generating unit 15 is controlled based on the image generation control unit 16. Generate image data of 192〇xl2〇0 resolution as the information is displayed. And transmitted to the image data receiving unit 17 in the interface 5·.  In this regard, The image display device 1 receives image data of the same resolution required for displaying information in order to receive information. Therefore, there is no enlargement of the image inside, The image data as shown in Fig. 6-1 is displayed on the reduced display portion 1 1. The image forming device 2 corresponding to the display aspect determined in the image display device is Is to determine the generation of image data, after that, That is, there are no more changes to the restrictions. The image forming apparatus 2 generates the image data of the state, The action of the output.  · Second, It is proposed by the user to change the state shown in Figure 6-1. That is, when it is intended to change the display area of the image data output from the image forming apparatus 2', for example, When it is changed to display the image data on the display unit 1 1 for the full screen, Then refer to Figure 6-2 for illustration. First of all, The display control unit 4 is based on the input unit 3, Information from users, The display area of the image data output by the image forming apparatus 2, Decided to be the full screen, That is, the display of 3 8 4 0 X 2 4 0 0 resolution.  -23- 1253036 Therefore, The display control unit 4 performs control of each component in the image display device in accordance with the display aspect. Simultaneously, A display of information corresponding to the display state is generated. that is, The display control unit 4 can generate 3840x2400 resolution content that can be displayed on the full screen. As display information for newly notifying the image forming apparatus 2. If so, Newly generated display information, The image forming apparatus 2 can be notified by the USB control unit 23 provided in the face portion 5.  For this kind of notification of displaying information, The image data of the 1 920 x 1 200 resolution generated by the image forming apparatus 2 to this point is changed, And began to generate a new 384 〇 x 2400 resolution image data and output. therefore, Image data after changing the resolution, The image data receiving unit 1 7 in the interface 5 receives the message. After processing the components in the image display device, That is, the full screen is displayed on the display portion 1 1 . the above, The change state of the display area on the display unit 1 1 is changed after the processing of the image display system of the present embodiment is completed, and the change of the display state can no longer be performed. And continue to maintain the state as shown in Figure 6-2.  Secondly, The state in which the image forming apparatus 2 does not directly correspond to the display state determined by the display control unit 4 will be described. According to the image forming apparatus 2, For example, it cannot be generated, Output image data of 3840x2400 resolution, But with the ability to generate, Outputs image data up to 1920x1200 resolution. In the image display system of the embodiment, When the image forming apparatus 2 is connected, The function of the image forming apparatus 2 can also be maximized.  Fig. 7 is the present embodiment in which a display aspect exceeding the ability of the image forming apparatus 2 is realized, A processing mode diagram on the image display system of this embodiment will be described. This will be described below with reference to Fig. 7. First of all, The display control unit 4 is based on information input by the input unit 3, etc. And determining the display aspect on the display portion η, And based on the display aspect, each component is controlled.  Here, The display control unit 4 is based on the input information of the input unit 3 and the function of the image forming apparatus 2 that is grasped by the input information encoding unit 21.  And carry out its control. As illustrated in Figure 7, The image forming apparatus 2 can only generate and output image data of a maximum resolution of 192 〇χ 1 200. However, it is necessary to use the image data of the image forming apparatus 2 as a full picture as a display aspect. That is, the resolution of 3 8 4 0 X 2 4 0 0 is displayed. In this regard, In this embodiment, The display control unit 4 grasps the appropriate control by the input unit 3 and the input information encoding unit 2 1 . in particular, The display control unit 4 is added as in the sixth to the first, The control described in Figure 6-2, For the ratio conversion unit 9, On the occasion of inputting image data output from the image forming apparatus 2, That is, the control of enlarging the magnification of 2 times is performed.  therefore, The display control unit 4 generates display information according to the determined display aspect. The image forming apparatus 2 is notified of the display information by the USB control unit 23 provided in the interface portion 5. Here, When there is information about the resolution,  As the generated display information, It is decided to have a resolution of 3 840 X 2 4 0 0 for the display aspect.  By this kind of notice to display information, The image forming apparatus 2 starts generating image data corresponding to the display information, Output. Here, As illustrated in Figure 7, Information about the resolution contained in the displayed information, It becomes a factor beyond the ability of the image forming apparatus 2. Because of it, The image forming apparatus 2 generates an output which is closest to the resolution of the display information, That is, it is an image data of 1 920 x 1 200 resolution of the upper limit.  -25- 1253036 After the image data receiving unit 17 in the image display device Receiving image data output from the image forming apparatus 2, And as in the sixth 6-1, 6 - 2 Figure is the same situation, The ratio conversion unit 9 enlarges the display area, More specifically, It is an enlargement of the resolution of image data. that is, Image data of 1 9 2 0 X 1 2 0 0 resolution output by the image forming apparatus 2, The image conversion data is converted into image data of 3 8 4 Ο X 2 4 0 0 resolution by the scale conversion unit 9. And the image data after the transformation process is applied, Finally, it is displayed on the display unit 1 1.  As explained above, The image display system in this embodiment has Borrowing the control unit 4, Based on information input by the input unit 3, etc. Deciding to display the display aspect of the screen on the display unit 11, And the function of notifying the image forming apparatus 2 based on the display information generated by the determined display aspect,  If so, Then, the image forming apparatus 2 of the image display device of the embodiment is connected, The output of the image data can be made corresponding to the display state.  result, In the image display system of the embodiment, Since the image generating function provided by the image forming apparatus 2 can be effectively utilized, Therefore, the burden of processing can be alleviated. that is, The image forming apparatus 2 of course has an image generation function,  In the image display system of this embodiment, It is necessary image processing regarding changes such as display areas, Since it has a configuration that allows the image forming apparatus 2 side to be burdened as much as possible, This reduces the processing load inside the image display device.  also, In the image display system of the embodiment, As in the first 6-1, As shown in Figure 6-2, The image data corresponding to the resolution of the display area on the display unit 1 1 is, for example, Show the image to keep its maximum information, Therefore, it is possible to generate image information of the highest grade on the image forming apparatus side 2, The -26- 1253036 image can be displayed in a high grade. In the conventional image display device, there is a change in the display area on the corresponding display on the inside, The composition of the process of reduction and enlargement, The handling of such practices, According to the algorithm, the execution is uniform, so when using the conventional image display device, When the resolution is changed in accordance with the change of the display area of the input image data, The image quality deteriorates. Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult to display a high-grade image.  In this regard, In the image display system of the embodiment, In order to instruct the change of the resolution of the image data generated by the image forming apparatus 2 in accordance with the change of the display area, Therefore, the image forming apparatus 2 to which it is connected can output image data which is most suitable for the display area. result, With the image display system of this embodiment, Can also be used for zooming in the display area, When narrowing down, etc. amplification, The image displayed after shrinking, Not to make the taste low, It can be used for display of high-grade images.  also, The image display system of this embodiment, It has the advantage of being able to display images with a high amount of information. that is, When using a conventional image display device, Even when a change in the display area occurs, The image data output by the image forming apparatus 2 is also not changed. Changes are only made to the size of the displayed image. As a result, even if it is intended to know, for example, the details of the image data output by the image forming apparatus on the user side to indicate the enlargement of the display area, Zoom in on the image size alone, Therefore, there is a problem that the details cannot be known.  In this image display system of the present embodiment, In the case of, for example, amplifying the display area, According to the enlarged display information corresponding to the display area,  Outputted in the image forming apparatus 2, On the side of the image forming apparatus 2, Can be generated, The enlarged high-definition image material corresponding to the display area is output.
