Abstract
A mobile terminal device includes: a housing; a measuring unit configured to measure an air pressure inside the housing; a detecting unit configured to detect whether the housing is sealed based on a change in the air pressure measured by the measuring unit while an operation is being conducted by a user; and a notifying unit configured to notify the user of a detection result of the detecting unit.
Claims7
A mobile terminal device comprising:
- an external connector configured to connect to an external device;
- a housing having an opening that is closeable and openable for access to the external connector;
- an input device attached to the housing, an operation of the input device changing a volume of space within the housing;
- a measuring unit configured to measure an air pressure inside the housing;
- a detecting unit configured to detect the housing being sealed based on an amount of fluctuation of the air pressure measured by the measuring unit remaining larger than a specific value within a certain time period while the input device is being operated;
- and
- a notifying unit configured to notify the user of a detection result of the detecting unit.
A mobile terminal device, comprising:
- a housing;
- a measuring unit configured to measure an air pressure inside the housing;
- a detecting unit configured to detect whether the housing is sealed based on a change in the air pressure measured by the measuring unit while an operation is being conducted by a user;
- and
- a notifying unit configured to notify the user of a detection result of the detecting unit,
- wherein the measuring unit does not measure the air pressure inside the housing when a function to be used when an openable and closeable lid member provided on the housing is open is being operated, and measures the air pressure inside the housing when a function to be used when the openable and closeable lid member provided on the housing is open is not being operated.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program that cases a computer to execute a procedure, the procedure comprising:
- measuring an air pressure inside a housing having an opening that is openable and closeable for access to an external connector configured to connect to an external device, and the housing having an input device attached that changes a volume of space within the housing when the input device is operated;
- detecting the housing is sealed based on an amount of fluctuation of the measured air pressure remaining larger than a specific value within a certain time period while the input device is being operated;
- and
- notifying the user of a result of the detecting.
A sealing detection method comprising:
- measuring an air pressure inside a housing of a mobile terminal device, the housing having an opening that is openable and closeable for access to an external connector configured to connect to an external device, and the housing having an input device attached that changes a volume of space within the housing when the input device is operated;
- detecting the housing is sealed based on an amount of fluctuation of the measured air pressure remaining larger than a specific value within a certain time period while the input device is being operated;
- and
- notifying the user of a result of the detecting.
