The portable terminal device 2 includes a communication unit 210 that receives a phone call or mail and communicates with the television receiver, a notification execution unit 203c that performs control in a case where information of the phone call or the mail received by the communication unit is notified to the television receiver, and a posture detection execution unit 203e that detects a posture of the portable terminal device. In a case where the communication unit receives a phone call or mail, the notification execution unit changes content of the information of the received phone call or mail according to a detection result of the posture detection execution unit and notifies the television receiver of the changed content. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A portable terminal device that notifies a television receiver of a received phone call or mail, comprising: a communication unit that receives a phone call or mail and communicates with the television receiver; a notification execution unit that performs control in a case where information of the phone call or the mail received by the communication unit is notified to the television receiver; and a posture detection execution unit that detects a posture of the portable terminal device, wherein, in a case where the communication unit receives a phone call or mail, the notification execution unit changes content of the information of the received phone call or mail according to a detection result of the posture detection execution unit and notifies the television receiver of the changed content. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The portable terminal device according to claim 1, further comprising: a charging management execution unit that manages charging of the portable terminal device, wherein, in a case where the communication unit receives a phone call or mail during the charging by the charging management execution unit, the notification execution unit notifies the television receiver of information of the received phone call or mail. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The portable terminal device according to claim 1, wherein the notification execution unit determines whether or not to include information of the other party of the phone call or the mail in the content of the information of the received phone call or mail to be notified to the television receiver, on the basis of a detection result of the posture detection execution unit. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The portable terminal device according to claim 1, further comprising: an acceleration sensor that detects acceleration of the portable terminal device, wherein the posture detection execution unit detects the posture on the basis of detection data of the acceleration sensor. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The portable terminal device according to claim 1, further comprising: an imaging unit that acquires video data of surroundings, wherein the posture detection execution unit detects the posture on the basis of the video data acquired by the imaging unit. ### Claim 6 A television receiver that is notified of a received phone call or mail by a portable terminal device and displays the received call or mail, comprising: a communication unit that communicates with the portable terminal device; an imaging unit that acquires video data of surroundings; a video display unit that displays a video; a notification execution unit that displays information of the received phone call or the mail, which has been notified from the portable terminal device and received by the communication unit, on the video display unit; and a user recognition execution unit that recognizes a user around the television receiver on the basis of the video data acquired by the imaging unit, wherein the notification execution unit changes content of the information of the received phone call or mail according to a recognition result of the user recognition execution unit and displays the changed content. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The television receiver according to claim 6, wherein the notification execution unit determines whether or not to include information of the other party of the phone call or the mail in the content of the information of the received phone call or mail to be displayed on the video display unit, on the basis of the detection result of the user recognition execution unit. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The television receiver according to claim 6, further comprising: a voice input unit that inputs a user's voice; and a call execution unit that makes a voice call or a call using a video and voice, wherein the notification execution unit displays the content of the mail received by the portable terminal device on the video display unit, and the call execution unit makes a voice call or a call using a video and voice to the other party of the portable terminal device, using the voice input unit and the imaging unit. ### Claim 9 An incoming call notification method that notifies a phone call or mail received by a portable terminal device using a television receiver, the method comprising: a posture detection step of detecting a posture of the portable terminal device; a step of, in a case where the portable terminal device receives a phone call or mail, changing content of information of the received phone call or mail according to a detection result in the posture detection step and transmitting the changed content to the television receiver; and a step of allowing the television receiver to display the information of the received phone call or mail received from the portable terminal device. ### Claim 10 An incoming call notification method that notifies a phone call or mail received by a portable terminal device using a television receiver, the method comprising: a step of, in a case where the portable terminal device receives a phone call or mail, transmitting information of the received phone call or mail to the television receiver; an imaging step of acquiring video data of surroundings of the television receiver; a user recognition step of recognizing a user around the television receiver on the basis of the video data acquired in the imaging step; and a step of changing content of the information of the received phone call or mail according to a detection result in the user recognition step and displaying the changed content.
