Abstract
In an image displaying system, the distribution of functions among the image displaying apparatus, the information processing apparatus, and an operating system controlling the operations of the information processing apparatus are clarified, and the capability of the image displaying apparatus to display an image with a display attribute varying from area to area on the display screen of the image displaying apparatus is determined. The image displaying system includes an image displaying apparatus having such a capability, and an information processing apparatus that can generate an image signal and transmit the image signal to the image displaying apparatus. The system can communicate according to USB standards, or according to DDC standards. The information processing apparatus transmits area-attribute information for changing a display attribute of a specific area on the display screen to the image displaying apparatus.
