Display control apparatus including a remote control function and a storage medium having stored thereon a display control program

摘要

A display control apparatus connected to a display apparatus, which is remotely controllable through wireless communication, generates a first video/audio signal for displaying a first image on the display apparatus, and outputs the first video/audio signal to the display apparatus. Either of a first signal pattern indicative of a command to cause the first image based on the first video/audio signal to be displayed on the display apparatus or a second signal pattern indicative of a command to cause a second image based on a second video/audio signal, which is obtained from a device different from the display control apparatus, to be displayed on the display apparatus is selected, and a wireless signal of the selected signal pattern is outputted to the display apparatus through the wireless communication. Information determined based on the signal pattern of the outputted wireless signal is informed from an apparatus different from the display apparatus.

主权项

1. A display control apparatus that is adapted to connect to a display apparatus that is separate from the display control apparatus, the display apparatus set to be remotely controllable using wireless communication, the display apparatus including a first input for accepting a first video/audio signal from the display control apparatus and a second input for accepting a second video/audio signal from a device other than the display control apparatus, the display control apparatus comprising:
a wireless transceiver; and a processing system that includes at least one proeessor, the processing system configured to: generate the first video/audio signal to display a first image on the display apparatus; output the first video/audio signal to the display apparatus; store a first signal pattern indicative of a command to cause the display apparatus to display the first image based on the first video/audio signal; store a second signal pattern indicative of a command to cause the display apparatus to display a second image that is based on the second video/audio signal, which is provided to the display apparatus from the device different from the display control apparatus; select a signal pattern between at least the first signal pattern and the second signal pattern; output, via the wireless transceiver, a wireless signal having the selected signal pattern to the display apparatus, wireless signal set to cause the display apparatus to use the respective first or second input; and output information to a user, via another apparatus that is different from the display apparatus, the outputted information being in accordance with the selected signal pattern of the outputted wireless signal.
