Patent ID: 8687019

Claim:
An image display system comprising: an image display device adapted to display a composite image having a plurality of images combined; and at least one image information processing device adapted to output image information for image display to the image display device, wherein the image display device includes a display side input section adapted to receive a plurality of inputs of image information from the at least one image information processing device adapted to output the image information for the image display and at least one input of cursor position information necessary for displaying a cursor from the at least one of image information processing device, an image combining/displaying section adapted to create a composite image based on the image information inputs received by the display side input section, and display the composite image, and a cursor display section adapted to perform display of the cursor based on the cursor position information input received by the display side input section, the image information processing device includes an output section adapted to output the cursor position information necessary for displaying the cursor in the image display device to the display side input section of the image display device together with the image information, a processing side input section adapted to receive an input of composite image information with respect to the composite image created by the image display device with the image combining/displaying section, and a cursor position information processing section adapted to select either of a first cursor correspondence process adapted to make the cursor position information correspond to an image based on the image information output to the image display device and a second cursor correspondence process adapted to make the cursor position information correspond to the composite image based on the composite image information input, and perform the selected correspondence process when outputting the cursor position information to the image display device, and the cursor display section of the image display device displays the cursor in a first display mode of displaying the cursor in a display range of an image based on the image information from the image information processing device in an overlapping manner when the cursor position information by the first cursor correspondence process is input, and the cursor in a second display mode of displaying the cursor in a display range of the entire composite image in an overlapping manner when the cursor position information by the second cursor correspondence process is input; wherein the composite image includes a display image corresponding to a display of the at least one image information processing devices, and the composite image is displayed on top of the display image corresponding to the display of the at least one image information processing device on the display of the image information processing device when a cursor switching has been performed.
