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 processor 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, wherein the processor calculates a sum of contact cells among the touch pad sensor detection data and wherein, prior to determining the holding pattern, the processor determines whether the sum of contact cells is greater than a predetermined threshold or not and wherein, when the sum of contact cells is greater than the predetermined threshold value, the processor determines the holding pattern; and
an orientation of information displayed on a display screen of a display is controlled based on the holding pattern outputted by the processor,wherein the determination of the holding pattern and the determination whether the sum of contact cells is greater than the predetermined threshold value are both performed in series when held by a user, anda registered application is launched based on the holding pattern outputted by the processor.

Abstract
A mobile terminal apparatus comprises: 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 a touch pad detection data detected by the touch pad sensor among a plurality of predetermined holding patterns to output the determined holding pattern. The mobile terminal apparatus controls an orientation of information displayed on a display screen of a display unit based on the holding pattern outputted by the holding pattern determining unit.

10. 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; calculating a sum of contact cells among the touch pad sensor detection data; determining whether the sum of contact cells is greater than a predetermined threshold or not; when the sum is greater than the predetermined threshold, 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; switching an orientation of information displayed on a display screen of the mobile terminal apparatus based on the determined holding pattern outputted, wherein the determination of the holding pattern and the determination whether the sum of contact cells is greater than the predetermined threshold value are both performed in series when held by a user, and a registered application is launched based on the holding pattern outputted by the mobile terminal apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (11)
