Abstract
A portable terminal includes a first housing having at least a display unit and a second housing having at least an input unit. The housings are openably and closably connected together so that the display unit is visible to the user in at least a closed state. The portable terminal also includes a detecting device for detecting an opening action of either of the housings and a control device for controlling a screen of the display unit. When the detecting device detects an opening action of either of the housings, the control device changes the screen of the display unit to an input screen.
