Abstract:
1. An image control device for generating (i) an image to be displayed from received image data and (ii) display information based on the received image data, and outputting the image and the display information to a display device, the display information defining a display condition according to which the display device displays the image and indicating correction values for correcting luminance and intensity of the image data, the image control device comprising: a receiving unit operable to receive the image data attached to error-detecting data used for error detection; a detecting unit operable to detect any error data from the image data based on the error-detecting data attached to the image data, the detected error data (i) being a difference in the image data before and after being transmitted to the image control device, and (ii) occurring during the reception of the image data or the generation of the image; a specifying unit operable to specify a fault image region, which corresponds to the detected error data, from an entire image region represented by the image data, the fault image region being specified by the specifying unit when the error data is detected by the detecting unit; and a control unit operable to prohibit use of the specified fault image region for generating the display information that defines the display condition according to which the display device displays the image and indicating the correction values for correcting the luminance and the intensity of the image data, wherein the control unit includes: wherein the receiving unit is operable to sequentially receive a plurality of pieces of image data, and wherein the image control device further comprises:
