1. A mobile communication terminal, comprising:
- a display device;
a touch panel which is arranged on a top surface of said display device;
a power supply portion which supplies an electric power of a predetermined voltage from a battery;
a controller which outputs an active signal which sets said touch panel to an active state or a standby signal which sets said touch panel to a standby state by determining a condition; and
a touch panel controller which controls the electric power supplied from said power supply portion on the basis of said active signal or said standby signal to set said touch panel to said active state or said standby state, whereinsaid controllerdetermines a first condition in a case that a phone call is in progress, and there is no possibility that a function operation other than a phone call is performed,determines a second condition in a case that a phone call is in progress, but there is a possibility that a function operation other than a phone call is performed,outputs said standby signal in a case that the first condition is determined,and outputs said active signal in a case that the second condition is determined.

Abstract
A mobile phone apparatus 10 includes a touch panel controlling IC 30. The touch panel controlling IC 30 controls electric power supplied from the electric power IC 14 on the basis of a received active signal or standby signal to set a touch panel input apparatus 32 to an active state or a standby state on the basis of the received active signal or standby signal. A processor 12 transmits to the touch panel controlling IC 30 the active signal or the standby signal in correspondence with a determined state of the mobile phone apparatus 10.

1. A mobile communication terminal, comprising:
-
a display device; a touch panel which is arranged on a top surface of said display device; a power supply portion which supplies an electric power of a predetermined voltage from a battery; a controller which outputs an active signal which sets said touch panel to an active state or a standby signal which sets said touch panel to a standby state by determining a condition; and a touch panel controller which controls the electric power supplied from said power supply portion on the basis of said active signal or said standby signal to set said touch panel to said active state or said standby state, wherein said controller determines a first condition in a case that a phone call is in progress, and there is no possibility that a function operation other than a phone call is performed, determines a second condition in a case that a phone call is in progress, but there is a possibility that a function operation other than a phone call is performed, outputs said standby signal in a case that the first condition is determined, and outputs said active signal in a case that the second condition is determined.

2. A mobile communication terminal according to calm 1, wherein
said controller determines a third condition in a case that a phone call is not in progress and an application which is being activated is compatible with a touch input, determines a fourth condition in a case that a phone call is not in progress, and an application which is being activated is not compatible with a touch input, outputs said active signal in a case that said third condition is determined, and outputs said standby signal in a case that said fourth condition is determined.

3. A mobile communication terminal comprising:
-
a display device; a touch panel which is arranged on a top surface of said display device; an acceleration sensor which detects an inclination of said display device; a power supply portion which supplies an electric power of a predetermined voltage from a power source; a controller which outputs an active signal which sets said touch panel and said acceleration sensor to an active state or a standby signal which sets said touch panel and said acceleration sensor to a standby state by determining a condition; a touch panel controller which controls the electric power supplied from said power supply portion on the basis of said active signal or said standby signal to set said touch panel to said active state or said standby state; an acceleration sensor controller which controls the electric power supplied from said power supply portion on the basis of said active signal or said standby signal to set said acceleration sensor to said active state or said standby state; and said controller determines a fifth condition in a case that a phone call is in progress, and there is no possibility that a function operation other than a phone call is performed, determines a sixth condition in a case that a phone call is in progress, but there is a possibility that a function operation other than a phone call is performed, outputs said standby signal to said touch panel controller and said acceleration sensor controller in a case that the fifth condition is determined, and outputs said active signal to said touch panel controller and outputs said standby signal to said acceleration sensor controller in a case that the sixth condition is determined. - View Dependent Claims (4)

5. A mobile communication terminal, comprising:
-
a display device; a touch panel which is arranged on a top surface of said display device; an acceleration sensor which detects an inclination of said display device; a photosensor which detects an amount of light outside in order to adjust brightness of said display device; a power supply portion which supplies an electric power of a predetermined voltage from a power source; a controller which outputs an active signal which sets said touch panel and said acceleration sensor to an active state or a standby signal which sets said touch panel and said acceleration sensor to a standby state, and switches the electric power from the said power supply portion to said photosensor between a power-supply and a power-shut-down by determining a condition; a touch panel controller which controls the electric power supplied from said power supply portion on the basis of said active signal or said standby signal to set said touch panel to said active state or said standby state; an acceleration sensor controller which controls the electric power supplied from said power supply portion on the basis of said active signal or said standby signal to set said acceleration sensor to said active state or said standby state; and said controller determines a eleventh condition in a case that a phone call is in progress, and there is no possibility that a function operation other than a phone call is performed, determines a twelfth condition in a case that a phone call is in progress, and there is a possibility that a function operation other than a phone call is performed and a function operation is performed, determines a thirteenth condition in a case that a phone call is in progress, and there is a possibility that a function operation other than a phone call is performed and a function operation is not performed, outputs said standby signal to said touch panel controller and said acceleration sensor controller and shuts down the electric power to said photosensor in a case that the eleventh condition is determined, outputs said active signal to said touch panel controller, outputs said standby signal to said acceleration sensor controller, and supplies the electric power to said photosensor in a case that the twelfth condition is determined, and outputs said active signal to said touch panel controller, outputs said standby signal to said acceleration sensor controller, and shuts off the electric power to said photosensor in a case that the thirteenth condition is determined. - View Dependent Claims (6)
