Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a touch panel configured to provide a display and detect an operation on the display; and a display control part configured to cause a second operation pad to be displayed, in place of a first operation pad, in the touch panel when the touch panel that selectively displays the first operation pad having a first switching button or the second operation pad having a second switching button detects an operation on the first switching button, and cause the first operation pad to be displayed in place of the second operation pad when the touch panel detects an operation on the second switching button.

Abstract: A cellular phone includes: a user interface for accepting an input; a communication interface for making a call via a radio communication with a base station; a display unit for displaying figures and characters; a first display controller for setting a display orientation of the display unit in one of a first display orientation and a second display orientation; and a second display controller for controlling the display unit so that the display orientation is set in the first display orientation if the communication interface starts a call. The first display orientation means a orientation that connects a top sideline of the display unit and a bottom sideline of the display unit, and the second display orientation means a orientation that is obtained by rotating the first display orientation by about 90° clockwise or counterclockwise about a vertical axis of the display unit.

Abstract: When a holder of a cellular telephone operates a specific-key, the cellular telephone composes an e-mail containing a location-name, location-information, positioning-accuracy and positioning-time and sends the e-mail to a mail-address registered in a location-notification-address-table. In addition, when the cellular telephone receives an e-mail from the address registered in the location-notification-address-table, the cellular telephone composes an e-mail containing a location-name, location-information, positioning-accuracy and positioning-time, and sends the composed mail to a sender of the received e-mail.

Abstract: According to an aspect of the invention, there is provide a portable terminal including: a plurality of keys including a first key and a second key; a display section; and a display control unit configured to display a list of a first function menu in portrait orientation if the first key is depressed while a standby screen is displayed in the display section, and display a list of second function menu capable of being activated in landscape orientation if the second key is depressed while a standby screen is displayed in the display section.

Abstract: An information processing device which judges that there is a possibility that the device is being left standing depending on the nature of a processing operation while this processing operation is being performed and places an operating lock on the device. The operating lock is placed on the device (step S11d) in cases where a specified time has elapsed with upper and lower housings in a closed state (“elapsed” in step S11b), or in cases where a specified time has elapsed with the device waiting for an operation by a user (“elapsed” in step S11i), and in cases where a processing that is in progress in the device is the processing that is started without any operation performed by the user and that is waiting for an operation by the user, and/or a processing that has a low priority (“only this processing is in progress” in step S11c).
