  • a television-signal receiving section for receiving a television broadcasting wave;

    a phone-call control section for detecting an incoming call to control a phone-call process;

    a signal-reception control section for controlling operation of the television-signal receiving section, and for outputting a video image of the television broadcasting wave received by the television-signal receiving section, while placing the television-signal receiving section in operation;

    a switch for judging whether the cellular phone is kept in the folded state or in the open state; and

    an off-control section for causing the signal-reception control section to place the television-signal receiving section out of operation, when the switch detects that the cellular phone has been brought to the open state after the phone-call control section detects an incoming call with the cellular phone held in the folded state and with the television-signal receiving section placed in operation.
