Abstract
According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a recommendation module and a controller. The recommendation module recommends a display mode using at least one of a display and an external display, based on a first information associated with the apparatus, a second information associated with the external display and a rule managed for deriving a display mode. The controller sets the apparatus in the recommended display mode, when an image is displayed in the recommended display mode. The controller sets the apparatus in a display mode other than the recommended display mode and corrects the managed rule, when an image is displayed in a display mode other than the recommended display mode.
Claims13
