Abstract
A PDA (portable terminal) including a display section for displaying information is provided with a first case (lid section) provided so as to be opened/closed with respect to the display section, a rotating mechanism for causing an opening angle between the display section and the first case to be changed, an opening angle detection section for detecting the opening angle, and a display control section (control unit) for changing the information displayed on the display section in accordance with the detection result from the opening angle detection section.
Claims12
A portable terminal having a display section for displaying information, comprising:
- a lid section provided so as to be opened/closed with respect to the display section;
- a rotating mechanism that is provided with a rotation shaft to which at least one of the display section and the lid section is attached integrally so that the display section and the lid section are capable of rotating relative to each other and that changes an opening angle between the display section and the lid section by rotting at least one of the display section and the lid section;
- an opening angle detection section for detecting the opening angle;
- and
- a control section for changing display information displayed on the display section, based on a detection result from the opening angle detection section.
A method for driving a potable terminal including a display section for displaying information, a lid section provided so as to be opened/closed with respect to the display section, and a rotating mechanism that is provided with a rotation shaft to which at least one of the display section and the lid section is attached integrally so that the display section and the lid section are capable of rotating relative to each other and that changes an opening angle between the display section and the lid section by rotating at least one of the display section and the lid section, the method comprising:
- an opening angle detection step of detecting the opening angle;
- and
- a display information change step of changing display information displayed on the display section, based on the opening angle detected in the opening angle detection step.
A driving program of a portable terminal for causing a computer to execute a method for driving a portable terminal including a display section for displaying information, a lid section provided so as to be opened/closed with respect to the display section, and a rotating mechanism that is provided with a rotation shaft to which at least one of the display section and the lid section is attached integrally so that the display section and the lid section are capable of rotating relative to each other and that changes an opening angle between the display section and the lid section by rotating at least one of the display section and the lid section, the program causing the computer to execute:
- an opening angle detectiOn step of detecting the opening angle;
- and
- a display information change step of changing display information displayed on the display section, based on the opening angle detected in the opening angle detection step.
