Abstract

In information terminals, such as the cellular phone, the user interface for being adapted to enough in multi-functionalization is provided. The portable communication terminal with the touch panel on the surface of body, a display information generating section which generates the display information displayed on the touch panel, a manipulation position detector which detects the coordinate point specified on the touch panel, wherein the display information generating section divides the touch panel into a plurality of display ranges, and changes the ratio of a plurality of display ranges depending on the relative position detected by the manipulation position detector.

Claims

1. An information terminal with a display on the surface of the body comprising:

a display information generating section for generating the display information displayed on the display; and

a position detector for detecting the coordinate point specified on the display;

wherein the display information generating section divides the display into a plurality of the display ranges, and changes the ratio of the a plurality of the display ranges depending on the relative position detected by the position detector.

2. The information terminal as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

a touch panel provided in the display, for inputting the manipulate signal with the pressure to the display; and

an input range setting section for dividing the input range for the manipulate signal on the touch panel;

wherein the input range setting section changes the input range depending on the relative position detected by the position detector.

3. The information terminal as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

a gadget section slid to the longitudinal direction in the surface of the body,

wherein the position detector detects the coordinate point with the relative position of the gadget section in the body, and

the display information generating section changes the display information depending on the relative position of the gadget section in the body detected by the position detector.

4. The information terminal as claimed in claim 2 further comprising:

a acceleration sensor for detecting the value and the direction of acceleration,

wherein the display information generating section changes the display information depending on the relative position detected by the position detector and the acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor, and

the input range setting section changes the input range depending on the relative position detected by the position detector and the acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor

5. The information terminal as claimed in claim 3 further comprising:

a input part provided in the gadget section for inputting the manipulate signal.

6. The information terminal as claimed in claim 5 wherein,

the display information generating section has the function for setting up the range which displays the display information on the display, and

the input range setting section each locates the gadget section and the input range in the both sides of the display range of the display information by dividing the input range depending on the relative position detected by the position detector.
