Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor that processes the image data of the image stored in a memory in order to detect a face area with a face captured therein and an orientation of the face from the image, and controls the screen brightness of a display unit based on the orientation of the face detected by the processing. When the detected face orientation falls within a preset first angle range, the processor determines that the face orientation is a first orientation, and even when the detected face orientation is out of the first angle range, the processor determines that the face orientation is the first orientation depending on the amount of change in the detected orientation of the face changing in a direction of the first orientation.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus executes user registration processing to register a user based on face information on a specific person, person detection processing to detect the presence of a person by detecting a face area with a face captured therein from a captured image captured by an imaging unit, and user determination processing to determine whether or not a person detected by the person detection processing is the specific person registered as the user, and boots a system based on the user registration processing, the person detection processing, and the user determination processing. Further, the information processing apparatus sets a detection range in the person detection processing to a first detection range for the specific person registered as the user, and sets the detection range to a second detection range different from the first detection range for a person not registered as the user.
