  • Patent number: 8670367
    Abstract: Counting of time is started when a housing of a foldable type of mobile terminal changes from an open state to a close state, and it is detected whether it is during counting or not when there is an incoming call. In the case where it is during counting, count time is acquired to check whether it is less than predetermined time or not. In the case where it is not during counting, operating states of a display section 4 and a backlight 5 are detected to check whether they are coincident with operating states registered in advance or not. In the case where the count time is less than the predetermined time, or in the case where the operating states of the display section 4 and the backlight 5 are coincident with them, a ring tone is outputted with first sound volume. In the case where the count time is the predetermined time or more, or in the case where the operating states of the display section 4 and the backlight 5 are not coincident with them, a ring tone is outputted with second sound volume.

  • Publication number: 20100321307
    Abstract: In a state where an inappropriate calibration has been performed, adequacy of the calibration is checked with a touch to a display screen so as to resolve the inappropriate calibration state. The display terminal device includes a touch panel provided on the display screen, a touch panel driver which generates coordinate data of a touched point on the touch panel, and a control section which performs calibration of the display screen based on the coordinate data output by the touch panel driver. The control section reduces an error between the measured coordinate data of the touched point and logic coordinate data by confirming that a difference between multiple pieces of X coordinate data and a difference between multiple pieces of Y coordinate data, generated by repeated touches to the points other than the center of the touch panel, are within an allowable range.
