Abstract

An information processing device includes a processor configured to receive a brightness setting for each region of a deformable continuous display surface through a user instruction.

Claims (21)

1. An information processing device comprising:

a processor configured to receive a brightness setting for each region of a plurality of regions of a deformable continuous display surface through a user instruction, adjacent ones of the plurality of regions being divided by a movable display region dividing line, an initial position of the movable display region dividing line being set taking into consideration a position of a hinge within the display surface, the processor further configured to move the movable display region dividing line in response to a touch operation from a user.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to receive the user instruction through a screen configured to receive the brightness setting.

3. The information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to present, on the screen, a region candidate that is determined in accordance with a state of deformation.

4. The information processing device according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to receive a correction of ranges of the regions presented as the candidate.

5. The information processing device according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to receive a change in the number of the regions presented as the candidate.

6. The information processing device according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to receive a correction of positions of the regions presented as the candidate.

7. The information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to receive designation of brightness preference from among (i) brightness set by a user and (ii) brightness set by the processor.

8. The information processing device according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is configured to receive a condition under which the brightness set by the processor is given a preference over the brightness set by the user.

9. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to control the brightness of each region in accordance with a specific condition when a usage mode of the display surface in a deformed state satisfies a predetermined condition.

10. The information processing device according to claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to reduce brightness of a region not observed by a user, relative to other regions.

11. The information processing device according to claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to control the brightness of each region in the deformed state in accordance with a relationship between (i) a direction of a face or a line of sight of a user detected by a detector of a housing including the display surface and (ii) a position of the display surface.

12. The information processing device according to claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to control brightness of a region where an image used to receive an input from a user is displayed to be lower than brightness of a region where an image used to output information to the user is displayed.

13. The information processing device according to claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to control brightness of a region where an image used to output information to a user is displayed to be higher than brightness of a region where an image used to receive an input from the user is displayed.

14. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the display surface is a display surface of a foldable display device.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute information processing, the information processing comprising:

receiving a brightness setting for each region of a plurality of regions of a deformable continuous display surface through a user instruction, adjacent ones of the plurality of regions being divided by a movable display region dividing line, an initial position of the movable display region dividing line being set taking into consideration a position of a hinge within the display surface; and

moving the movable display region dividing line in response to a touch operation from a user.

16. An information processing device comprising:

means for receiving a brightness setting for each region of a plurality of regions of a deformable continuous display surface through a user instruction, adjacent ones of the plurality of regions being divided by a movable display region dividing line, an initial position of the movable display region dividing line being set taking into consideration a position of a hinge within the display surface; and

means for moving the movable display region dividing line in response to a touch operation from a user.
