Image output apparatus, method, and medium

摘要

The present invention provides a novel image output apparatus that includes an operation processing unit that processes an operation request from a user, a projecting unit that projects a display image from a video providing apparatus and UIs from the image projector, a determining unit that determines whether or not it is necessary to switch a source of a video signal by using a current input type and a source of a video signal with reference to a data table that associates an input type that indicates a type of a port from which an image to be projected is acquired with a source of a video signal that forms an image to be projected, and a controller that switches a source of a video signal and executes a process indicated by an operation request from a user if it is necessary to switch the source of a video signal.

主权项

1. An image output apparatus, comprising:
an operation processing unit to process an operation request; a projecting unit to project a display image from a video providing apparatus and a UI from an image projector; a data table storing unit to store a data table that associates an input type that indicates a type of a port from which an image to be projected is acquired with a source of a video signal that forms the image to be projected; a determining unit to determine whether or not it is necessary to switch the source of the video signal by using a current input type and the source of the video signal; a controller to switch the source of the video signal in case it is necessary to switch the source of the video signal and execute a process indicated by the operation request; and a UI creating unit to create the UI, wherein the controller determines whether or not it is possible to execute the process indicated by the operation request.
