Abstract

A control device includes a processor configured to grasp a status of a user around a display device and lower brightness of a display screen of the display device or reduce a change in brightness of the display screen per unit time in a case where the grasped status of the user is a specific status.

Claims (44)

1. A control device comprising

a processor configured to:

grasp a status of a user around a display device;

lower brightness of a display screen of the display device or reduce a change in brightness of the display screen per unit time in a case where the grasped status of the user is a specific status; and

increase the brightness of the display screen or increase the change in brightness of the display screen per unit time in a case where the user takes a specific action after the processor lowers the brightness of the display screen or reduces the change in brightness of the display screen per unit time; wherein

the specific action includes a case where the user stands up from a chair placed around the display device.

2. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor lowers the brightness of the display screen or reduces the change in brightness of the display screen per unit time in a case where the user takes another specific action around the display device.

3. The control device according to claim 2 , wherein

the processor lowers the brightness of the display screen or reduces the change in brightness of the display screen per unit time in a case where the user sits down on a chair around the display device.

4. The control device according to claim 2 , wherein

the processor lowers the brightness of the display screen or reduces the change in brightness of the display screen per unit time in a case where a user starts specific work around the display device.

5. The control device according to claim 2 , wherein

the processor lowers the brightness of the display screen or reduces the change in brightness of the display screen per unit time in a case where the user around the display device turns away from the display screen.

6. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor lowers the brightness of the display screen or reduces the change in brightness of the display screen per unit time in a case where a distance between the display device and the user becomes smaller than a predetermined distance.

7. The control device according to claim 6 , wherein

the processor lowers the brightness of the display screen or reduces the change in brightness of the display screen per unit time in a case where the distance between the display device and the user is smaller than the predetermined distance continuously for more than a predetermined period.

8. The control device according to claim 6 , wherein

the processor increases the brightness of the display screen or increases the change in brightness of the display screen per unit time in a case where the distance between the display device and the user becomes larger than the predetermined distance.

9. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor lowers the brightness of the display screen by changing content displayed on the display screen of the display device.

10. The control device according to claim 9 , wherein

the processor lowers the brightness of the display screen by changing content displayed on the display screen to content containing a larger number of images of low brightness.

11. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor lowers the brightness of the display screen by turning off a light source provided in the display device or lowering output of the light source.

12. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the processor reduces the change in brightness of the display screen per unit time by switching a target displayed on the display screen from a moving image to a still image.

13. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the specific action includes a case where the user touches the display device.

14. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the specific action includes a case where the user exits a room in which the display device is provided.

15. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the specific action includes a case where the user faces the display screen.

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:

grasping a status of a user around a display device,

lowering brightness of a display screen of the display device or reducing a change in brightness of the display screen per unit time in a case where the grasped status of the user is a specific status; and

increasing the brightness of the display screen or increasing the change in brightness of the display screen per unit time in a case where the user takes a specific action after the lowering the brightness of the display screen or reducing the change in brightness of the display screen per unit time; wherein

the specific action includes a case where the user stands up from a chair placed around the display device.

17. A control device comprising:

means for grasping a status of a user around a display device,

means for lowering brightness of a display screen of the display device or reducing a change in brightness of the display screen per unit time in a case where the grasped status of the user is a specific status; and

means for increasing the brightness of the display screen or increasing the change in brightness of the display screen per unit time in a case where the user takes a specific action after the lowering the brightness of the display screen or reducing the change in brightness of the display screen per unit time; wherein

the specific action includes a case where the user stands up from a chair placed around the display device.
