Display control apparatus and display control method

A computer-readable, non-transitory storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a procedure comprising:

• first detecting a predetermined operation for an active window displayed on any one display device among a plurality of display devices connected to the computer;
• identifying a first display device on which the active window is displayed;
• second detecting that a pointer representing a pointing destination by a pointing device is not displayed on the first display device after a predetermined period elapsed since the first detecting;
• and
• upon the second detecting, carrying out a setting for lowering brightness of the first display device.

A display control method comprising:

• first detecting, by using a computer, a predetermined operation for an active window displayed on any one display device among a plurality of display devices connected to the computer;
• identifying, by using the computer, a first display device on which the active window is displayed;
• second detecting, by using the computer, that a pointer representing a pointing destination by a pointing device is not displayed on the first display device after a predetermined period elapsed since the first detecting;
• and
• upon the second detecting, carrying out, by using the computer, a setting for lowering brightness of the first display device.

A display control apparatus comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processing unit using the memory and configured to a procedure comprising:
• detecting a case where at least both of a condition that a pointer representing a pointing destination by a pointing device is not displayed on one display device of a plurality of display devices and a condition that a window generated by a predetermined program is not displayed on the one display device are satisfied;
• and
• upon the detecting, lowering brightness of the one display device.
