## Abstract

An information processing apparatus is disclosed, including a detection part, a change part, and a determination part. The detection part detects a change of a first color temperature of an external environment. The change part changes a second color temperature of a display part at a predetermined speed to a targeted value corresponding to the first color temperature after the change in response to a detected change of the first color temperature. The determination part determines whether brightness of an image is changed, in response to a switch of the image on the display part. when it is determined that the brightness of the image on the display part is changed during the change of the second color temperature of the display part, the change part changes the second color temperature of the display part at a different speed from the predetermined speed.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An information processing apparatus comprising:
a detection part configured to detect a change of a first color temperature of an external environment;
a change part configured to change a second color temperature of a display part at a predetermined speed to a targeted value corresponding to the first color temperature after the change in response to a detected change of the first color temperature; and
a determination part configured to determine whether brightness of an image is changed, in response to a switch of the image on the display part,
wherein when it is determined that the brightness of the image on the display part is changed during the change of the second color temperature of the display part, the change part changes the second color temperature of the display part at a different speed from the predetermined speed.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein when it is determined that the image after the change is darker than the image before the change during the change of the second color temperature of the display part, the change part changes the second color temperature of the display part at slower speed than the predetermined speed.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein when the image after the change is brighter than the image before the change during the change of the second color temperature of the display part, the change part further changes the second color temperature of the display part at a faster speed than the predetermined speed.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the determination part determines the presence or absence of the brightness change of the image before and after the change based on a distribution of pixel values of the image respectively.

### Claim 5

A display control method performed in a computer, the method comprising:
detecting, by the computer, a change of a first color temperature of an external environment;
changing, by the computer, a second color temperature of a display part at a predetermined speed to a targeted value corresponding to the first color temperature after the change in response to a detected change of the first color temperature; and
determining, by the computer, whether brightness of an image is changed, in response to a switch of the image on the display part,
wherein when it is determined that the brightness of the image on the display part is changed during the change of the second color temperature of the display part, the second color temperature of the display part is changed by the computer at a different speed from the predetermined speed.

### Claim 6

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium recorded with a program which, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform a display control process comprising:
detecting a change of a first color temperature of an external environment;
changing a second color temperature of a display part at a predetermined speed to a targeted value corresponding to the first color temperature after the change in response to a detected change of the first color temperature; and
determining whether brightness of an image is changed, in response to a switch of the image on the display part,
wherein when it is determined that the brightness of the image on the display part is changed during the change of the second color temperature of the display part, the second color temperature of the display part is changed at a different speed from the predetermined speed.
