  • Patent number: 9542727
    Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium for display control. The display control apparatus comprises a circuitry configured to determine whether a hold condition is satisfied, determine an attitude of the display control apparatus, change a display state from a first state displaying a first screen to a second state in response to the display control apparatus not being operated in a predetermined period, and responsive to an operation, return the display state to the first state-displaying the first screen in an orientation based on the attitude of the display control apparatus in response to the hold condition not being satisfied. The non-transitory computer-readable medium comprises instructions to configure the apparatus to perform the display control method.
