Abstract

PURPOSE:To simultaneously display different videos on respective display devices by selectively supplying the video produced by a computer to the plural display devices. CONSTITUTION:The optional plural pieces of computer video are produced and registered by a video producing device 3 with the aid of using a console 4 and the registered plural sorts of image data is preserved in an auxiliary storage device 5 by the specification of an operator. Then, when the title of the optional image data and the original numbers data of an optional IDM (an inteligent display monitor)1 are specified and inputted by the console 4, display control data is sent to a display output device 7 through a signal conductor 6. The display output device 7 develops the image data to an area for displaying the image data on the IDM 1 according to the display control data and simultaneously outputs a switching signal which selects the developed image data to a switching device 8. Thus, the different videos are displayed on the plural IDM 1 at a high speed and at the same time.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a multi-information display system that simultaneously displays different images on a plurality of display devices.

[Conventional technology]

As a conventional multi-information display system, multiple CRTs
A multi-CRT system using a multi-screen formed by arranging cathode ray tubes (cathode ray tubes) is known. This CRT system can be connected to a VTR from an external system or device.
A video signal reproduced by a computer or the like is supplied. Next, the operation will be explained. In a conventional multi-CRT system, a video signal reproduced from the external system or device is supplied and displayed on each CRT making up the multi-screen.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Conventional multi-information display systems are configured as described above, so they only display video signals supplied from the external system or device, and the system itself cannot create video on its own. However, the content of the video that can be displayed is limited, making it difficult to obtain optimal display effects, and the installation location is also limited. This invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and allows the system to create its own images, as well as to selectively display the created images on multiple display devices. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a multi-information display system that can display information freely and simultaneously.

[Means to solve the problem]

The multi-information display system according to the present invention uses a computer to generate image data, and selectively displays this image data on a plurality of display devices.

[For use]

The multi-information system according to the present invention can simultaneously display different images on each display device by supplying multiple types of image data to any display device.

【Example】

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 indicates 15 display devices for displaying images, and in this embodiment, IDMs (intelligent display monitors) numbered 1, 2°, . . . , 15 are used. It is being 2 is 15 IDMI
It is a multi-screen unit consisting of a combination of 3 is a video generation device including the above-mentioned computer for generating video by the combination 1-Y; 4 is an operation console for performing operations for generating computer video and for displaying on IDMI; and 5 is a An auxiliary storage device stores computer video data generated by the video generation device 3, a signal line 6 outputs the data generated by the video generation device 3, and a signal line 7 provided corresponding to the 15 IDMIs. 1
The five display output devices are collectively connected to the video generation device 3 through the signal line 6, and output data from the video generation device 3 and switching signals to be described later. 8 is 1
Five switching devices are used to output the data or the external system to the outside according to the switching signals. In addition, above 6.7.8
Multi-screen unit 2
The video generation device 3
A display control device is configured to selectively supply image data generated in the above. Next, the operation will be explained. The operator operates the video generation device 3
Accordingly, it is possible to generate any plurality of computer images using the console 4 and register them. The registered plural types of image data are stored in the auxiliary storage device 5 according to the operator's specifications. In addition, the name of any image data stored in the auxiliary storage device 5 and any IDMI number data may be sent to the console 4.
Display control data is sent to the display output device 7 through the signal line 6 by performing a display operation that specifies and inputs the data. This display control data includes image data, IDM number data, etc. arranged in a fixed format. The display output device 7 develops the image data in an area for displaying on the IDMI according to the display control data inputted through the signal line 6, and outputs a switching signal for selecting the developed image data to the switching device 8. . Such processing is performed on each display output device 7 connected to IDMI.
Therefore, different images can be displayed simultaneously on multiple IDMIs at high speed. Furthermore, by switching the switching device 8, an external video signal from an external system or device can be selected and displayed on each IDM 1. In addition, in the above embodiment, a case is shown in which the multi-screen unit 2 is a combination of 15 IDMIs, but the number of IDMIs constituting this multi-screen unit 2 does not have to be 15. For example, up to 24 IDMIs can be freely used. can be combined with Further, the number of multi-screen units 2 does not need to be one; for example, up to three multi-screen units 2 can be freely connected.

【Effect of the invention】

As described above, according to the present invention, since computer-generated images are selectively supplied to a plurality of display devices, different images can be displayed simultaneously on each display device, and Since the computer can freely generate unique images, the display effect is high.
This has the effect of providing a system that can display a variety of images.
