AI summary

An image transmission method uses image transmission equipment to transmit image signals from an electronic device to a display device, the equipment which includes a base device coupled to the display device, and a peripheral device coupled to an electronic device. The base device wirelessly communicates with the peripheral device. After the electronic device obtains an image transmission program from an outside source existing outside the peripheral device and executes the image transmission program, image signals from the electronic devices can be transmitted to the display device via the peripheral device and the base device.
