Abstract
A disclosed portable terminal includes: an inclination measurement unit that measures an inclination of the portable terminal; a change unit that change a display direction of contents to be displayed on a display screen of the portable terminal according to a state of a user holding the portable terminal; an operation interval setting unit that sets an operation interval of the change unit based on change of the inclination over time, which was measured by the inclination measurement unit; and an operation controller that causes the change unit to operate at intervals that were set by the operation interval setting unit.
Claims3
A portable terminal, comprising:
- an inclination sensor that measures an inclination of the portable terminal;
- a memory;
- and
- a processor configured to use the memory and execute a process, the process comprising:
- monitoring an inclination change of the portable terminal;
- determining whether the inclination change is more than a predetermined value, when the inclination change is detected;
- starting analyzing a captured image to identify a relative direction of a face part included in the captured image with respect to a predetermined direction of the portable terminal in case the inclination change is more than at least the predetermined value;
- repeating the analyzing while detecting the inclination change;
- continuing monitoring the inclination change without the analyzing in case the inclination change is not more than at least the predetermined value;
- and
- changing a display direction of contents to be displayed on a display screen of the portable terminal according to the identified relative direction of the face part included in the captured image.
A method, comprising:
- measuring, by using a portable terminal, an inclination of the portable terminal;
- monitoring, by using the portable terminal, an inclination change of the portable terminal;
- determining, by using the computer, whether the inclination change is more than a predetermined value, when the inclination change is detected;
- starting, by using the portable terminal, analyzing a captured image to identify a face part included in the captured image with respect to a predetermined direction of the portable terminal in case the inclination change is more than at least the predetermined value;
- repeating, by using the portable terminal, the analyzing while detecting the inclination change;
- continuing, by using the portable terminal, monitoring the inclination change without the analyzing in case the inclination change is not more than at least the predetermined value;
- and
- changing, by using the portable terminal, a display direction of contents to be displayed on a display screen of the portable terminal according to the identified relative direction of the face part included in the captured image.
A computer-readable, non-transitory storage medium storing a program for causing a portable terminal to execute a process, the process comprising:
- measuring an inclination of the portable terminal;
- monitoring an inclination change of the portable terminal;
- determining whether the inclination change is more than a predetermined value, when the inclination change is detected;
- starting analyzing a captured image to identify a face part included in the captured image with respect to a predetermined direction of the portable terminal in case the inclination change is more than at least the predetermined value;
- repeating the analyzing while detecting the inclination change;
- continuing monitoring the inclination change without the analyzing in case the inclination change is not more than at least the predetermined value;
- and
- changing a display direction of contents to be displayed on a display screen of the portable terminal according to the identified relative direction of the face part included in the captured image.
