Abstract
A controller of a handy terminal such as a cellular phone determines whether a headphone is connected or not when discriminating that reproduction output of sound data ends. With the headphone connected, the controller stores an end time in a time memory. When reproduction output of sound data is necessary, the controller determines whether or not a predetermined time has passed after the stored end time. When the controller detects that the predetermined time has passed, the controller changes the output destination of sound data from the headphone to a speaker for generation of a sound therefrom.
