Patent ID: 8289450

Claim:
A video processing apparatus comprising: an input unit to which a video signal containing content is input; a first detector which detects a color of light in the surroundings; a second detector which detects whether a pattern portion formed of a single color of black or white is contained in the video signal input to the input unit; a corrector which corrects the video signal input to the input unit; a controller which conducts control so that the corrector corrects the video signal input to the input unit according to the color of light detected by the first detector if the second detector detects that the pattern portion formed of the single color of black or white is contained in the video signal input to the input unit; and a third detector which detects whether a pattern portion formed of a chromatic color is contained in the video signal input to the input unit; wherein the controller conducts control so that the corrector stops update of data for correcting the video signal input to the input unit if the third detector detects that the pattern portion formed of the chromatic color is contained in the video signal input to the input unit.
