Abstract
When a power source is turned on, a menu screen is displayed on LCD. When the insertion of an earphone jack is detected with the menu screen displayed, display on LCD is automatically switched from the menu screen to a dialing screen. A user can have conversation with a desired party by dialing using the displayed dialing screen. If the insertion of an earphone jack is detected while another processing is executed using the menu screen after the power source is turned on, the processing is temporarily interrupted and the dialing screen is displayed on LCD. The temporarily interrupted processing is executed again when a call is finished. Even during a call, another processing can be executed using the menu screen.
