Abstract
In the event that a cellular telephone is placed in a charging stand in an incoming wait status or if a predetermined time that the device has been left unattended elapses, a slide show display is executed which sequentially switches and displays a plurality of images in the main display portion but only when in the arrangement position of namely, view style, in a folded position with the main display portion facing outward. Additionally, when executing a slide show display, the slide direction is switched as the image size adjusts corresponding to the direction (portrait display position, landscape display position) of the main display portion.
Claims5
A portable information processing device, comprising:
- a first housing part having a key input portion;
- and
- a second housing part having a main display portion, the first housing part and the second housing part being movably joined together to any one of a plurality of arrangement positions;
- an image display means for display processing of an image on the main display portion;
- a placement detection means for detecting whether or not the device has been placed in an external device;
- a setting discrimination means for discriminating whether or not an automatic display setting of said image exists when the placement detection means detects that the device has been placed in the external device;
- a position discrimination means for discriminating whether or not an arrangement position of the first housing part and second housing part is in a display arrangement position such that the main display portion faces outward;
- and
- a display control means for initiating startup of display processing of said image by the image display means when the setting discrimination means discriminates that the automatic display setting exists and the position discrimination means discriminates that the arrangement position of the first housing part and second housing part is in the display arrangement position;
- wherein said display control means performs display processing in a mode different from said display processing of said image by said image display means on a condition of not being placed in the external device when detected as having been placed in the external device by said placement detection means and starting display processing of said image by said image display means.
A computer-readable medium encoded with a computer program executed by a processor of a portable information processing device including a first housing part having a key input portion and a second housing part having a main display portion, which are movably joined together to any one of a plurality of arrangement positions, comprising:
- program code for performing display processing of an image on the main display portion;
- program code for detecting whether or not the device has been placed in an external device;
- program code for discriminating whether or not an automatic display setting of the image exists when the device is detected to have been placed in the external device;
- program code for discriminating whether or not an arrangement position of the first housing part and second housing part is in a display arrangement position such that the main display portion faces outward;
- and
- program code for starting display processing of said image when the automatic display setting is discriminated as existing and the arrangement position of the first housing part and second housing part is discriminated as being in the display arrangement position;
- wherein said program code for starting display processing comprises program code for performing display processing in a mode different from said display processing of said image by said program code for performing display processing on a condition of not being placed in the external device when detected as having been placed in the external device by said program code for detecting whether or not the device has been placed in an external device and starting display processing of said image by said program code for performing display processing.
