Portable communication terminal
First Claim
1. A portable communication terminal comprising:
- a storing unit for storing image plane data for displaying image planes and a plurality of image data associated with a plurality of functions of said portable communication terminal;
a first display unit for displaying images based on data stored in said storing unit;
a second display unit for displaying images based on data stored in said storing unit;
a determining unit for determining whether or not images based on said image data are to be displayed;
a generating unit for generating display data for displaying said images based on the result of said determining unit, wherein said generating unit includes a first generating unit for generating said display data according to the image display area of said first display unit when said determining unit determines that images based on said image data are to be displayed on said first display unit, and a second generating unit for generating said display data according to the image display area of said second display unit when said determining unit determines that images based on said image data are to be displayed on said second display unit;
an input unit for receiving an input of a selection instruction for said images; and
a processing unit for executing the function associated with the image data of selected said image.

Abstract
There is provided a portable communication terminal capable of switching between icon display and non-display. Processes executed by a control unit of a portable phone which is an aspect of the portable communication terminal comprises the steps of detecting, during the execution of an icon-bar displaying process, a press of an operation key, terminating outputting icon data if the operation key is associated with the icon-bar non-display function and if there is already no icon bar being displayed, detecting a press of the operation key, and executing the icon-bar displaying process if the operation key is associated with the icon-bar display function and if there is no icon bar being displayed.
