A mobile phone which allows a user to continuously watch a television broadcast even if there is a call from the other party phone is provided. If a call comes from the other party phone in a state of displaying television image on a main display, the television audio output partstops outputting television audio corresponding to the television image while the television image display part maintains display of the television image on the main display, wherein the character information display partcauses the main display to display caption corresponding to the television image. Therefore, the user is allowed to continuously watch the television broadcast on the basis of the television image and caption while communicating with the other party phone.

Mobile phone

A portable terminal device includes: an operation partincluding operation keysthat are two-dimensionally arranged in a matrix form; an image enlarging partthat, in a state where a plurality of enlargement target areasare preliminarily set as partial areas of an image, generates an enlarged image by, on the basis of an operation of any of the operation keys, enlarging an image within an enlargement target areapreliminarily related to the operation key; a display image generating partthat generates a display image including the image in a normal or an enlargement browsing mode generates a display image including the enlarged image; and a display partthat displays the display image. The respective enlargement target areasrespectively correspond in an arrangement order to the operation keys, and form overlap areas with their adjacent enlargement target areas.

Portable terminal device

An object of the present invention is to provide a mobile phone which allows a user to continuously watch a television broadcast even if there is a call from the other party phone. If a call comes from the other party phone in a state of displaying television image on a main display, the television audio output partstops outputting television audio corresponding to the television image while the television image display part maintains display of the television image on the main display, wherein the character information display partcauses the main display to display caption corresponding to the television image. Therefore, the user is allowed to continuously watch the television broadcast on the basis of the television image and caption while communicating with the other party phone.

Mobile phone comprising display that transitions between lateral and longitudinal states

There is provided a mobile communication terminal of which a display area is inhibited from narrowing when a state of a display screen is switched from a vertically long state to a horizontally long state. The mobile communication terminal is configured to include: a connecting state detecting partadapted to determine whether a display screenis in the vertically long state or the horizontally long state; a display object storage partadapted to store first and second display objects to be displayed depending on an operating state; and a display controlling partadapted to display the respective display objects on the display screen. The display controlling partdisplays, in the case where the display screenis in the vertically long state, a plurality of the first objects in a first object display area provided in an upper end portion of the display screen, and a plurality of the second display objects in a second object display area provided in an lower end portion of the display screen, or in the case where the display screen is in the horizontally long state, the respective first and second display objects in a third object display area provided in any of an upper end portion or a lower end portion of the display screen.

Mobile communication terminal

It is an object to provide a digital TV broadcast system and a cellular phone in which content of a data broadcast can be checked with a small display area, and work for checking desired content in detail is easy. Extracted character strings extracted from content data are provided in a picto display areain a horizontally long display state as a marquee display. In the case where a display screen is switched to a vertically long display state during the display of the extracted character strings, a cursoris placed on a character string corresponding to an extracted character string displayed in the horizontally long display state upon the switching, among character strings displayed in a data broadcast display area. Based on this, a user can well check the content of the data broadcast by checking the extracted character strings provided as the marquee display, and also because the character string corresponding to the extracted character string displayed in the horizontally long display state is automatically selected by the switching to the vertically long display state, the work for checking desired content in detail is easy.

Portable information terminal device

In a cellular phone a rotational position sensing part senses that a display casing has been rotated from a horizontally long state to a vertically long state, and a drive voltage is supplied to a TV broadcast receiving part by a drive voltage supplying part, and an incoming call processing part performs incoming call processing, such that a response part establishes a telephone conversion state in response to the incoming call, and a drive voltage control part stops the supply of the drive voltage by the drive voltage supplying part. When a call is made from an opposite side telephone set while a TV broadcast is watched, the call can be responded to only by rotating the display casing, and the supply of the drive voltage to the TV broadcast receiving part can be automatically stopped, so that power consumption can be efficiently reduced while reducing the burden of operations.

Cellular phone

The present invention provides a mobile phone that includes a single camera for picking up a 2D image and provides the 2D image with parallax information to create a 3D image. The 3D image is displayed on a display unit.
