Abstract
With regard to an electronic device including a display function in a rotatable housing, operations necessary for function calling and determining processes are facilitated. An electronic device (portable terminal apparatus) including a display function in a rotatable housing includes a displaying unit that displays a first screen (e.g., vertical screen) or a second screen (e.g., horizontal screen) in accordance with rotation, and a controlling unit (CPU) that launches a function by rotating the displaying unit and switching the first screen to the second screen and that determines an selected item from the switched second screen by rotating and returning the displaying unit from the second screen to the first screen.
