Abstract: The present invention relates to a portable terminal provided with a camera to take a picture of a subject comprised of a lens, and an image pickup device. The invention is aimed to provide a portable terminal in which a mirror image or information about photographing status is displayed on a first display which can be seen from the object side when an object is photographed using the portable terminal, and the image is displayed on a second display which can be seen from the to-be-taken subject so that a person to be photographed can easily check his/her image or photographing status. To this end, the first display is provided on the surface on which the lens is provided and the second display is provided on a side different from the side on which the lens is provided. Provision is made of a display unit that displays the image, photographed by directing the lens to the subject, on the first and the second displays.

Abstract: A device includes: a first housing that has a wall portion protruding from the front face side thereof; a second housing that has a portion pressed against the wall portion, and is overlapped on the front face side of the first housing, the second housing being rotatable, with the portion being pressed against the wall portion; a first member that is attached to a face of the first housing, the face facing the second housing; a second member that is attached to a face of the second housing, the face facing the face having the first member attached thereto; a rotary shaft unit that allows the second member to slidably move with respect to the first member, and supports the second member in a rotatable manner; and a pushing unit that pushes the second housing, so that the portion of the second housing is pressed against the wall portion. In this device, the first member has a guide groove that has the rotary shaft unit slidably attached thereto.

Abstract: A determining unit determines a state where a new electronic mail cannot be captured unless protection of an existing electronic mail is released, when the new electronic mail is received, or an inquiry is made to a mail server. The state where a new electronic mail cannot be captured unless protection of an existing electronic mail is released is, for example, is a state where a received electronic mail box is full, and all of existing electronic mails are set to be protected, or the like. A guidance unit makes to a user a notification that the protection must be released, if the determining unit determines the state where a new electronic mail cannot be captured unless the protection of an existing electronic mail is released.

Abstract: In response to two or more incomings-in-absence, a portable terminal apparatus displays, according to a predetermined order of priority, an image associated with the originator of an incoming-in-absence with the highest priority of the incomings-in-absence on a display screen. Also, in response to an image-canceling instruction, the apparatus cancels an image currently displayed on the display screen and displays an image associated with the originator of an incoming-in-absence with the highest priority next to the incoming with the cancelled image of the incomings-in-absence.

Abstract: A key lock control method registers an operation pattern of operation keys of an electronic apparatus which has a plurality of functions, and locks the operation keys if the operation keys are not operated according to the operation pattern. The operation pattern is made up of a combination of at least a time band in which one or more operation keys are to be operated and at least one function that is to be selected by one or more operation keys.

Abstract: An electronic appliance comprises two image capture units, for which switching between flashlights is considered. When switching is made between the two image capture units, switching is also automatically made between the mobile lights. When shooting is made with the first image capture unit, the first mobile light serves as a flashlight. When shooting is made by switching from the first image capture unit to the second image capture unit, the second mobile light serves as a flashlight. When shooting is made with both of the first and the second image capture units, both of the first and the second mobile lights serve as flashlights.
