Abstract
It is possible to further improve convenience of a user. Provided is a control device including an illumination condition deciding unit that decides illumination conditions which are conditions for controlling emission lights from respective light emission points for an illuminating device which includes a plurality of the light emission points arranged in a planar shape and emits an illumination light as the emission lights of the respective light emission points are controlled, in which the illumination condition deciding unit automatically decides the illumination conditions on the basis of predetermined information.

A control device, comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- receive photograph data from an external device, wherein specific illumination conditions for the received photograph data is unknown to the control device;
- acquire first color image data of the received photograph data;
- acquire second color image data of a first subject;
- compare the acquired first color image data of the received photograph data and the acquired second color image data of the first subject;
- determine the specific illumination conditions for the received photograph data based on the comparison of the acquired first color image data and the acquired second color image data;
- determine a plurality of current illumination conditions that indicates a plurality of characteristics of an emission light from a respective light emission point of a plurality of light emission points of an illuminating device, wherein
- the plurality of current illumination conditions is associated with the first subject, and
- the plurality of current illumination conditions is determined based on specific information that includes the determined specific illumination conditions for the received photograph data;
- and
- control the emission light from the respective light emission point of the plurality of light emission points of the illuminating device based on the determined plurality of current illumination conditions, wherein the emission light is controlled to change an emission state of the first subject.
