Abstract
The sending party of a display-use image signal adds to a signal representing a display image a control parameter signal composed of a control tag signal specifying a controlled object and control start/end identification signal Ts or Te between a specific parameter start signal Ps and parameter end signal Pe. Upon the reception of the thus produced display-use image signal Si, a display device detects the signal Ps in the input signal Si using a tag decoder and makes a judgement whether the succeeding start/end identification signal is Ts or Te. Thereafter, upon the detection of Pe in the input signal Si, a control tag signal is derived from a signal division between the detected Ps and Pe, and signals Cto Cfor controlling various parts of the display device, etc. are produced from the control tag signal and the judgement of the start/end identification signal. Hence, using the display-use image signal containing control information, extensive, complex controls are readily carried out of a display method applied to a display device.
