Display control device and control method for display control device

A display control device including a display unit, the display control device comprising:

• a proximity detection unit configured to perform a proximity detection operation for detecting that an object approaches the display control device;
• an illuminance detection unit configured to detect illuminance of ambient light;
• and
• a control unit configured to control the proximity detection unit to perform the proximity detection operation when the illuminance of ambient light detected by the illuminance detection unit is equal to or less than a predetermined value, and to control the proximity detection unit not to perform the proximity detection operation when the illuminance of ambient light detected by the illuminance detection unit is greater than the predetermined value.

A control method for a display control device including a display unit, the control method comprising:

• outputting a proximity detection signal when a predetermined condition to determine whether an object approaches the display control device is satisfied;
• detecting illuminance of ambient light;
• and
• controlling the display unit not to be turned off when the proximity detection signal is output while the detected illuminance of ambient light is greater than a predetermined value, and controlling the display unit to be turned off when the proximity detection signal is output while the detected illuminance of ambient light is equal to or less than the predetermined value.
