Abstract
In a wearable terminal, a controller determines whether a direction of a display surface detected by a detector is within a first angle range. In a case where a latest direction of the display surface is out of the first angle range, the controller puts the display in a sleep state, but otherwise the controller puts the display in an active state. Furthermore, the controller specifies a second angle range from the second reference direction. The controller switches the display from the sleep state to the active state in a case the controller determines that the plurality of directions of the display surface detected in the first period and that the direction of the display surface newly detected by the detector is out of the second angle range. In the second display control, the display is switched from the sleep state to the active state even when the newly detected direction of the display surface is out of the first angle range.
