Display brightness adjustment based on ambient light level

An information handling device, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor to:
• detect, at the information handling device, a change in light level to a new light level;
• communicate, to a plurality of other devices that are separate from the information handling device, the detected change in light level;
• receive, in response to the communicating and from the plurality of other devices, light level data identified by each of the plurality of other devices;
• identify, from the received light level data, a majority light level, wherein the instructions executable by the processor to identify comprise instructions executable by the processor to:
• disregard the light level data received from each of the plurality of other devices previously determined as being inconsistent providers of accurate light level data;
• and
• identify, from the light level data remaining after the disregarding, the majority light level;
• determine that the change in light level corresponds to a change in an ambient light level via comparing the new light level to the majority light level and thereafter identifying that the new light level is substantially equivalent to the majority light level;
• and
• adjust, responsive to the determining, a brightness level of a display operatively coupled to the information handling device.

A product, comprising:

• a storage device that stores code, the code being executable by a processor and comprising:
• code that detects, at an information handling device, a change in light level to a new light level;
• code that communicates, to a plurality of other devices that are separate from the information handling device, the detected change in light level;
• code that receives, in response to the communicating and from the plurality of other devices, light level data identified by each of the plurality of other devices;
• code that identifies, from the received light level data, a majority light level data, wherein the code that identifies comprises code that:
• disregards the light level data received from each of the plurality of other devices previously determined as being inconsistent providers of accurate light level data;
• and
• identifies, from the light level data remaining after the disregarding, the majority light level;
• code that determines that the change in light level corresponds to a change in an ambient light level via comparing the new light level to the majority light level and thereafter identifying that the new light level is substantially equivalent to the majority light level;
• and
• code that adjusts, responsive to the determining, a brightness level of a display operatively coupled to the information handling device.
