DISPLAY APPARATUS CAPABLE OF DISPLAYING SLIDE SHOW, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18055748 titled 'DISPLAY APPARATUS CAPABLE OF DISPLAYING SLIDE SHOW, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a display apparatus that can display images acquired via a network. The apparatus includes a display unit and one or more controllers.

  • The display unit is responsible for displaying information.
  • The controllers are used to register multiple pieces of address information, including address information for image data accessible with a first protocol and address information for image data accessible with a second protocol.
  • The controllers also acquire multiple pieces of image data based on the registered address information.
  • The acquired image data is then sequentially displayed on the display unit.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology can be used in smart TVs or monitors that can display images acquired from various sources over a network.
  • It can be implemented in digital signage systems to display dynamic content from different sources.
  • This technology can also be useful in video conferencing systems, where images from multiple participants can be displayed on a single screen.

Problems Solved:

  • The display apparatus solves the problem of accessing and displaying image data from different protocols or sources.
  • It eliminates the need for separate devices or software to access and display images from different sources.
  • The apparatus simplifies the process of displaying multiple images acquired via a network on a single display unit.

Benefits:

  • The display apparatus provides a convenient and efficient way to display images acquired from different protocols or sources.
  • It allows for seamless integration of image data from various sources on a single display unit.
  • The apparatus eliminates the need for multiple devices or software to access and display images from different sources, reducing complexity and cost.
