1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- circuitry configured todetect brightness and output an illuminance value corresponding to the detected brightness;
derive a luminance set value for controlling a light emission signal regulating luminance of a light source based on the illuminance value and a luminance level set from a plurality of luminance levels corresponding to a level of brightness that a user actually senses;
derive power consumption information based on the luminance set value, the power consumption information representing at least one of power consumption and a power consumption rate of the light source;
control a display to display the power consumption information in graphical form in relation to a minimum value and a maximum value, wherein the graphical form of the power consumption shows the power consumption rate of the light source and a percentage of power consumption in relation to a minimum power consumption rate of the light source and a maximum power consumption rate of the light source; and
selectively disable a function of controlling the light emission signal regulating the luminance of the light source based on the luminance set value derived based on the illuminance value.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus is provided that includes an illuminance detection unit to detect brightness and output an illuminance value corresponding to the detected brightness, a luminance control unit to derive a luminance set value for controlling a light emission signal regulating luminance of a light source based on the illuminance value, and a display control unit to derive power consumption information related to power consumption of the light source based on the luminance set value and display the power consumption information on a display screen.
