1. A portable terminal comprising:
- a display device;
a sensor configured to detect an orientation or position of the portable terminal;
a storage unit configured to store data; and
a display control unit configured to display on the display device one or more icons or objects that correspond to the data stored in the storage unit, wherein;
the display control unit acquires information regarding the orientation or position of the portable terminal from the sensor and determines a display mode of the icons or objects in accordance with a change in the orientation or position of the portable terminal,the information includes whether a magnitude of acceleration of the portable terminal in a direction perpendicular to a screen of the display device exceeds a predetermined value, andin response to the information that the magnitude of acceleration exceeds the predetermined value, the display control unit causes the icons or objects on the screen of the display device to appear to a user of the portable terminal to jump in the direction of the magnitude of acceleration by enlarging sizes of the icons or objects on the screen of the display device.

9. A display method, comprising:
-
acquiring, from a sensor for detecting an orientation or position of a portable terminal, information regarding the orientation or position of the portable terminal; and determining, when displaying one or more icons or objects that correspond to data stored in a storage unit for storing data on a display device, a display mode of the icons or objects in accordance with a change in the orientation or position of the portable terminal; and displaying the icons or objects on a screen of the display device, wherein; the information includes whether a magnitude of acceleration of the portable terminal in a direction perpendicular to a screen of the display device exceeds a predetermined value, and in response to the information that the magnitude of acceleration exceeds the predetermined value, the display step includes causing the icons or objects on the screen of the display device to appear to a user of the portable terminal to jump in the direction of the magnitude of acceleration by enlarging sizes of the icons or objects on the screen of the display device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
