  • Publication number: 20100081478
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a cellular telephone terminal in which intuitive operation is possible, by providing a rotary dial portion. A cellular telephone terminal 1 is provided with: a body that includes an operation unit side body 2, a display part side body 3, and a hinge mechanism 4A that connects the operation unit side body 2 and the display part side body 3 so as to be openable and closable around an opening and closing axis; a rotary dial portion 41, which is rotatable around a rotational axis Z, and which is attached to the body with a standard position; a mark 42, which is disposed at a position that can be visually confirmed externally both in the opened state and in the closed state, and which serves as an indicator for a rotation amount of the rotary dial portion 41; and a control part 74 that causes one application among a plurality of applications to enter a state in which activation thereof is possible, based on the rotation amount of the rotary dial portion 41.

  • Patent number: 7483720
    Abstract: A portable terminal includes a first housing having at least a display unit and a second housing having at least an input unit. The housings are openably and closably connected together so that the display unit is visible to the user in at least a closed state. The portable terminal also includes a detecting device for detecting an opening action of either of the housings and a control device for controlling a screen of the display unit. When the detecting device detects an opening action of either of the housings, the control device changes the screen of the display unit to an input screen.

  • Publication number: 20040257334
    Abstract: The opening and closing state detecting section to detect an opening and closing state of the first and the second housing is provided. In the case where an opening motion is conducted after a specific item is selected from the selecting screen, which is displayed on the display section, by the operation of the auxiliary operation section in the closed state of the first and the second housing, the control section controls so that a display screen image corresponding to the specific item can be displayed on the display section.

  • Publication number: 20040235540
    Abstract: When a portable terminal unit in which a display-side housing and an operation-side housing are openably and closably coupled is in a closed state, a state detecting section detects that the portable terminal unit is in the closed state, and transmits its signal to a control section. Then, a lock control section validates the operation of the auxiliary operation section. Thereafter, when a coupling section that couples a display-side housing and an operation-side housing turns, the state detecting section detects that the portable terminal unit is in other states than the closed state, and sends its signal to the control section. Then, the lock control section invalidates the operation of the auxiliary operation section which is provided on other surface than surfaces opposed each other in the closed state, so that it is prevented from causing the erroneous operation.

  • Publication number: 20040166907
    Abstract: An overlapping type portable radiotelephone includes a first housing having at least a display section and speakers, and a second housing having at least a main operation section and a microphone. The first and second housings are coupled each other so as to be opened and closed. The main operation section is covered with the first housing in a closed state and exposed outside in an opened state. A display screen in the display section and the speakers are exposed outside both in the closed state and in the opened state. With this overlapping type portable radiotelephone, conversation can be effected even in the closed state, and there is further provided a communication control section for enabling the conversation to be continued, even though the portable radiotelephone is brought into the opened state from the closed state while the conversation is in progress.
