Abstract
A mobile terminal is capable of reducing unnecessary consumption of electric power. The mobile terminal includes a terminal status detecting unit which detects a first terminal status and a second terminal status, the first terminal status being a status of the mobile terminal before a change in the mobile terminal takes place, and the second terminal status being a status of the mobile terminal after the change in the mobile terminal takes place. The mobile terminal also includes a condition managing table which manages a condition for starting an electric power supply to an SD memory card, a judging unit which judges, when the first terminal status and the second terminal status are detected by the terminal status detecting unit, whether or not the change in the status of the mobile terminal meets the condition, and an electric power supplying unit which starts the electric power supply to the SD memory card when the change in the status of the mobile terminal is judged by the judging unit as meeting the condition.
