Abstract

A mobile terminal is disclosed. The mobile terminal includes a touch panel and an input detection part, a display part, a determination part, and an execution part. The input detection part is configured to detect inputs to the touch panel. The display part is configured to display an object corresponding to a lock state in which predetermined processing based on inputs detected by the input detection part is not executed. The determination part is configured to determine whether or not a predetermined input to the object is detected by the input detection part. The execution part is configured to release the lock state and execute predetermined processing if the determination part determines that a predetermined input to the object is detected.

Claims

1. A mobile terminal comprising:

a touch panel and an input detection part configured to detect inputs to the touch panel;

a display part configured to display an object corresponding to a lock state in which predetermined processing based on inputs detected by the input detection part is not executed;

a determination part configured to determine whether or not a predetermined input to the object is detected by the input detection part; and

an execution part configured to release the lock state and execute predetermined processing if the determination part determines that a predetermined input to the object is detected.

2. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 wherein the object includes a first object for releasing the lock state and executing predetermined processing and a second object for releasing the lock state.

3. The mobile terminal according to claim 1, further comprising:

a direction detection part configured to detect the slide direction with respect to the object, wherein

the execution part releases the lock state and executes predetermined processing in the case in which the determination part determines that the direction detected by the direction detection part is a predetermined direction.

4. The mobile terminal according to claim 2, further comprising:

a detection part configured to detect the slide direction with respect to the object, wherein

the execution part releases the lock state and executes predetermined processing in the case in which the determination part determines that the direction detected by the direction detection part is a predetermined direction.

5. The mobile terminal according to claim 1, further comprising:

a calculation part configured to calculate the slide distance with respect to the object, wherein

the execution part releases the lock state and executes predetermined processing in the case in which the determination part determines that the slide distance detected by the calculation part is a predetermined distance.

6. The mobile terminal according to claim 2, further comprising:

a calculation part configured to calculate the slide distance with respect to the object, wherein

the execution part releases the lock state and executes predetermined processing in the case in which the determination part determines that the slide distance detected by the calculation part is a predetermined distance

7. The mobile terminal according to claim 1, wherein predetermined processing comprises processing for displaying incoming mail.

8. The mobile terminal according to claim 2, wherein predetermined processing comprises processing for displaying incoming mail.

9. The mobile terminal according to claim 1, wherein predetermined processing comprises processing for switching between a specific mode and a normal mode.

10. The mobile terminal according to claim 2, wherein predetermined processing comprises processing for switching between a specific mode and a normal mode.

11. A lock state control program for a mobile terminal, wherein

a processor of a mobile terminal comprising a touch panel, an input detection part configured to detect input to the touch panel, and a display part configured to display an object, being able to set a lock state in which predetermined processing based on the input detected by the input detection part is not executed, and display an object corresponding to the lock state on the display part, is functioned as

a determination part configured to determine whether or not a predetermined input for releasing the lock state is detected by the input detection part;

and

an execution part configured to release the lock state and execute predetermined processing in the case in which it is determined that a predetermined input for releasing the lock state is detected.

12. A method for controlling lock state of a mobile terminal, wherein

the mobile terminal comprises a touch panel, an input detection part configured to detect input to the touch panel, and a display part configured to display an object,

a lock state in which predetermined processing based on input detected by the input detection part is not executed is set,

an object corresponding to the lock state on the display part is displayed,

it is determined whether or not a predetermined input for releasing the lock state is detected by the input detection part, and

the lock state is released and predetermined processing is executed in the case in which it is determined that a predetermined input for releasing the lock state is detected.
