Abstract

A mobile phone comprises a display and a touch panel that is provided on the display, and is capable of setting a locked state. In a case where the locked state is set, a lock screen including the lock object is displayed on the display. If a long-depressing touch operation is performed to the lock object, shortcut icons corresponding to a telephone function, etc. are displayed on the display instead of the lock object. If the shortcut icon of the telephone function, for example, is selected by a selecting object corresponding to a touch position in the shortcut screen, the locked state is canceled and the telephone function is performed.

Claims

1. A mobile terminal capable of setting a locked state that restricts a performance of predetermined processing, comprising:

a display portion;

a touch panel that is provided on the display portion;

a detecting module operable to detect a touch operation to the touch panel;

an icon displaying processing module operable to display at least one or more icons corresponding to predetermined functions on the display portion if a long-depressing touch operation to the touch panel is performed at a time that the locked state is being set;

a canceling module operable to cancel the locked state if a touch operation for selecting any one of the icons being displayed on the display portion is performed; and

a performing module operable to perform, if the touch operation for selecting any one of the icons being displayed on the display portion is performed, a function corresponding to the icon.

2. A mobile terminal according to claim 1, further comprising an object displaying processing module operable to display an object that receives a canceling operation of the locked state on the display portion,

wherein the icon displaying processing module displays, if the long-depressing touch operation to the object is performed, at least one or more icons corresponding to the predetermined functions instead of the object.

3. A mobile terminal according to claim 1, wherein the icon displaying processing module displays at least one or more icons corresponding to the predetermined functions and further displays an edit icon for editing the predetermined functions corresponding to the icons, further comprising

an editing module operable to edit at least one or more icons corresponding to the predetermined functions if the touch operation is made.

4. A mobile terminal according to claim 1, wherein the icon displaying processing module further displays, if the long-depressing touch operation is performed, a selecting object corresponding to a touch position, and

the performing module cancels the locked state and performs the function corresponding to the icon if the touch is released in a state that any one of the icons is selected by the selecting object.

5. A mobile terminal according to claim 4, wherein the icon displaying module displays the selecting object so as not to be overlapped with displaying of other icons.

6. A mobile terminal according to claim 1, wherein the mobile terminal has a voice controlling function that the predetermined function is performed based on a voice that is input, and the icon displaying processing module further displays a specific icon corresponding to the voice controlling function if the long-depressing touch operation is performed to the touch panel at a time that the locked state is set, further comprising

a voice controlling function performing module that performs the voice controlling function if the touch operation is performed to the specific icon,

wherein if the voice corresponding to the predetermined function is input in a state that the voice controlling function is being performed, the performing module cancels the locked state and performs the function corresponding to the voice that is input.

7. A lock control method of a mobile terminal having a display portion, a touch panel that is provided on the display portion and a detecting module operable to detect a touch operation to the touch panel, and capable of setting a locked state that restricts a performance of predetermined processing based on a touch operation to the touch panel, comprising steps of:

displaying at least one or more icons corresponding to predetermined functions on the display portion if a long-depressing touch operation to the touch panel is performed at a time that the locked state is being set;

canceling the locked state if a touch operation for selecting any one of the icons being displayed on the display portion is performed; and

performing, if a touch operation for selecting any one of the icons being displayed on the display portion is performed, a function corresponding to the icon.
