Abstract
An electronic information device of the present invention includes: two main body members that are coupled to each other to be capable of transitioning from a first state to a second state; a detecting section that detects whether the two main body members are in either state of the first state or the second state; a time counting section that counts a first time that is required for the two main body members to transition from the first state to the second state; and a function restricting section that restricts at least one function operation in accordance with the first time.
Claims12
An electronic information device comprising:
- two main body members that are coupled to each other to be capable of transitioning from a first state to a second state;
- a detecting section that detects whether the two main body members are in either state of the first state or the second state;
- a time counting section that counts a first time that is required for the two main body members to transition from the first state to the second state;
- and
- a function restricting section that restricts at least one function operation in accordance with the first time.
A control method for an electronic information device, the method comprising:
- a time counting step of counting a first time that is required for two main body members of an electronic information device to transition from a first state to a second state, the electronic information device having two main body members coupled to each other;
- and
- a function restricting step of restricting at least one function operation of the electronic information device in accordance with the first time.
