1. An image display control apparatus comprising:
- circuitry configured tomeasure a period of time in which an object is beyond a proximity of a touch display;
change the touch display from a high-luminance state to a low-luminance state in response to the measured period of time being longer than a predetermined period of time and restart the measured period of time;
change the touch display from the low-luminance state to a non-luminance state in response to the measured period of time being longer than a predetermined period of time;
perform a first determination of whether a touch of a button displayed on the touch display or the object in proximity to the touch display is detected;
perform a second determination of a current display state of the touch display in case it is determined in the first determination that the object in proximity to the touch display is detected;
in case it is determined in the second determination that the current display state is the low-luminance state or the non-luminance state, change the touch display to the high-luminance state in response to a detection of the object in proximity to the touch display; and
in case it is determined in the first determination that the touch of the button is detected, perform an operation associated with the button displayed on the touch display and change the touch display to the high-luminance state in response to a touch of the button on the touch display, whereinperformance of the operation includes executing an image capturing process and executing a process of controlling display of an image on the touch display based on the touch of the button.

Abstract
An image display control apparatus and method are used to detect an object that is in proximity to a display. A display controller is used to change the display from a first display state to a second display state after the object is not detected for a predetermined time period. The display state is then restored to the first display state when the detector detects the object being in proximity to the display. In another aspect, the display controller changes the display to the first display state from the second display state when the detector detects the object being in proximity to the display, where the second display state is a lower power state than the first display state.

10. An image display control method, comprising:
-
measuring, by circuitry, a period of time in which an object is not in proximity of a touch display; changing, by the circuitry, the touch display from a high-luminance state to a low-luminance state in response to the measured period of time being longer than a predetermined period of time and restarting the measured period of time; changing, by the circuitry, the touch display from the low-luminance state to a non-luminance state in response to the measured period of time being longer than a predetermined period of time; performing, by the circuitry, a first determination of whether a touch of a button displayed on the touch display or the object in proximity to the touch display is detected; perform, by the circuitry, a second determination of a current display state of the touch display in case it is determined in the first determination that the object in proximity to the touch display is detected; in case it is determined in the second determination that the current display state is the low-luminance state or the non-luminance state, changing, by the circuitry, the touch display to the high-luminance state in response to a detection of the object in proximity to the touch display; and in case it is determined in the first determination that the touch of the button is detected, performing, by the circuitry, an operation associated with the button displayed on the touch display and changing, by the circuitry;
the touch display to the high-luminance state in response to a touch of the button on the touch display, whereinperformance of the operation includes executing an image capturing process and executing a process of controlling display of an image on the touch display based on the touch of the button. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 22, 23)

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer readable instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to execute a process, the process comprising:
-
measuring a period of time in which an object is not in proximity of a touch display; changing the touch display from a high-luminance state to a low-luminance state in response to the measured period of time being longer than a predetermined period of time and restarting the measured period of time; changing the touch display from the low-luminance state to a non-luminance state in response to the measured period of time being longer than a predetermined period of time; performing a first determination of whether a touch of a button displayed on the touch display or the object in proximity to the touch display is detected; performing a second determination of a current display state of the touch display in case it is determined in the first determination that the object in proximity to the touch display is detected; in case it is determined in the second determination that the current display state is the low-luminance state or the non-luminance state, changing the touch display to the high-luminance state in response to detection of the object in proximity to the touch display; and in case it is determined in the first determination that the touch of the button is detected, performing an operation associated with the button displayed on the touch display and changing the touch display to the high-luminance state in response to a touch of the button on the touch display, wherein performance of the operation includes executing an image capturing process and executing a process of controlling display of an image on the touch display based on the touch of the button.
