Abstract

L'invention concerne un système d'affichage d'images qui permet un partage harmonieux d'informations et un travail de collaboration entre plusieurs personnes en réduisant sélectivement la charge sur un chemin de communication par une réduction de la quantité de données d'image relatives à des fenêtres d'application transmises par l'intermédiaire du chemin de communication. Un système d'affichage d'images (S) est doté d'un moyen de sélection de fenêtre pour sélectionner une ou plusieurs fenêtres d'application (30) parmi plusieurs fenêtres d'application (30) affichées sur un dispositif d'affichage (1) et un moyen de réduction de quantité de données de transmission pour réduire la quantité de données d'image relatives à une fenêtre d'application (30) autre que la fenêtre d'application (30) sélectionnée par le moyen de sélection de fenêtre parmi des données d'image relatives à des fenêtres d'application (30) transmises depuis un dispositif terminal(2) au dispositif d'affichage (1) par l'intermédiaire d'un chemin de communication (4).
