First Claim
Patent Images
1. A mobile terminal apparatus, comprising:
- a touch pad sensor that is arranged on a back surface of a housing, and detects a contact position when held by a user; and
a holding pattern determining unit that determines a holding pattern having a highest similarity to touch pad sensor detection data detected by the touch pad sensor among a plurality of predetermined holding patterns to output the determined holding pattern, whereinan orientation of information displayed on a display screen of a display unit is controlled based on the holding pattern outputted by the holding pattern determining unit.

7. A display method for a mobile terminal apparatus that controls an orientation of information displayed on a display screen thereof, the display method comprising:
-
acquiring touch pad sensor detection data when a user holds the mobile terminal apparatus by a touch pad sensor arranged in the mobile terminal apparatus; determining a holding pattern having a highest similarity to the touch pad sensor detection data among a plurality of predetermined holding patterns, and outputting the determined holding pattern; and switching an orientation of information displayed, on a display screen of the mobile terminal apparatus based on the holding pattern outputted by the determining step. - View Dependent Claims (8)
