Abstract
A sensor detects whether or not an input device and a display device are in a combined state. A control mode determining unit determines a control mode associated with the state detected by the sensor. A control processing unit switches a control mode of a control target apparatus to the control mode determined by the control mode determining unit, and causes the display device to display a function to be operated in a display mode corresponding to the switched control mode.
