1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- an input device;
a display unit;
a detection unit configured to detect whether a system state of the information processing apparatus is an idle state or a non-idle state, by monitoring an operation state of the input device; and
a control unit configured to decrease a display luminance of the display unit and cause the display unit to display a predetermined image when the detection unit detects the idle state, and configured to restore the display unit to a display state immediately prior to the detection of the idle state when the detection unit detects the non-idle state.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes an input device, and a display unit. The information processing apparatus further includes a detection unit configured to detect whether a system state of the information processing apparatus is an idle state or a non-idle state, by monitoring an operation state of the input device, and a control unit configured to decrease a display luminance of the display unit and cause the display unit to display a predetermined image when the detection unit detects the idle state, and configured to restore the display unit to a display state immediately prior to the detection of the idle state when the detection unit detects the non-idle state.

5. A power saving control method for an information processing apparatus including an input device and a display unit, comprising:
-
monitoring an operation state of the input device to detect whether a system state of the information processing apparatus is an idle state or a non-idle state;
performing a display control process when it is detected that the system state transitions to the idle state, the display control process including a first process of decreasing a display luminance of the display unit, and a second process of causing the display unit to display a predetermined image; and
restoring the display unit to a display state immediately prior to the detection of the idle state, when it is detected that the system state transitions back to the non-idle state. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9)

10. An information processing apparatus comprising:
-
an input device;
a display unit;
means for monitoring an operation state of the input device to detect whether a system state of the information processing apparatus is an idle state or a non-idle state;
means for performing a display control process when it is detected that the system state transitions to the idle state, the display control process including a first process of decreasing a display luminance of the display unit and a second process of causing the display unit to display a predetermined image; and
means for restoring the display unit to a display state immediately prior to the detection of the idle state, when it is detected that the system state transitions back to the non-idle state. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)
