Problems solved by technology

However, such a mobile terminal has a problem that the size of the mobile terminal itself cannot be reduced because the size of the mechanism for rotating the display unit is large.
[0005] On the other hand, in a mobile terminal capable of switching between horizontal writing display and vertical writing display according to the posture of the display unit, only the direction in which the image is displayed on the display unit is changed, and thus the input for recognizing the operation unit is displayed The number of keys and the orientation of indicators such as markings used to identify the keys change, and the keys are difficult to recognize
Therefore, such a mobile terminal has a problem that the feeling of operating the operation unit is poor in the above-mentioned situation
Specifically, if the operation unit is located on the right side with respect to the display unit as a result of switching the display orientation of the display unit, it is difficult for left-handed users to operate the mobile terminal
In order to avoid this, the user needs to change the display orientation intentionally, and thus there arises a problem that the convenience is further reduced

Embodiment Construction

[0048] Referring to the drawings, the following description will specifically explain an embodiment in which the electronic device of the present invention is applied to a mobile information terminal device (hereinafter referred to as a mobile terminal) such as a mobile phone and a PDA.

[0049] FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing the appearance of a mobile terminal as one embodiment of the electronic device of the present invention. The mobile terminal includes an operation unit 11 for receiving instructions and operations input by a user, and a display unit 12 including output image display means for displaying an image (output image) based on information input through the operation unit 11 . The operation unit 11 and the display unit 12 are mounted on panels having appropriate thicknesses, respectively. The two panels are hinged by hinge means (not shown) and are constructed so that the relative angle of the two panels is between the folded state (split in half) and t...

Abstract

When a waiting state is released (S12: YES), the attitude is detected by a direction detector (S13), and display styles of the identification image assigned to each the input key and the image displayed on the display part are decided on the basis of a detection result (S14, S19, S21). A setting value fit for the display style is read from a display table and a key arrangement table (S15, S20, S22), and control is changed over (S16). When deciding that the changeover of the control is completed (S17: YES), the identification image and the output image are displayed in the set display style, and a display direction is made to be proper (S18). Thus, the present invention provided electronic equipment capable of making display forms of an identification image for identifying an input key and an output image displayed on a display part proper according to an attitude.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electronic device capable of changing the display type of an image according to its own posture. Background technique [0002] Lightweight multifunctional mobile information terminal devices (hereinafter referred to as mobile terminals) such as mobile phones and PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) are required. For example, a greater number of mobile phones have phonebook functions, e-mail functions, Internet connection functions, camera functions, etc. in addition to basic telephone functions. Therefore, the operating unit of the mobile phone has various types of input keys, such as character keys for inputting letters, and function keys for selecting functions, in addition to numeric keys for inputting phone numbers. [0003] In addition, mobile phones have a display unit that includes a display device such as a liquid crystal display to display various information. Examples of information displayed on the display...
