Provided are a display control apparatus, a display control method, and a program that enable developers to implement application programs without needing to be aware of a safe area. An image acquisition section () acquires an image that is drawn in a frame buffer by an application program. A safe area setting specification section () specifies the setting of a safe area in a display section. An image generation section () generates a display target image including, as a part, the image sized according to the setting of the safe area. A display control section () causes the display section to display the display target image.

Display control apparatus, display control method, and program for displaying an image overlaying a target image in a safe area of a display

A display controller reads, from frame buffers, data on a first image and a second image, and converts, with a conversion formula depending on the characteristics in terms of luminance of the data, the data to data in a blend space having common characteristics. Then, the display controller performs alpha blending on the converted data in the blend space, further converts the data to a space having characteristics suitable for a display, and outputs the resultant to the display.

Display controller and image display method

An image transmission apparatus, an image transmission method, and a program enable a transmission destination to display an image similar to the image displayed at a transmission source. A display target image generation section generates a display target image having a display non-target region reflecting settings of a safe area of a display section. A display control section causes the display section to display an actual display image constituting a portion of the display target image. A transmission image generation section generates a transmission image that represents a portion of the display target image and excludes at least a portion of the display non-target region. A transmission section transmits the transmission image.
