Mobile terminal apparatus

Abstract

To provide a mobile terminal apparatus for displaying an image by selecting the optimum display screen without adding a special process to a program operating on the mobile terminal apparatus, a mobile terminal apparatus 100 includes a program execution unit 102 for executing a desired program and output display information, a direction detection unit 103 for detecting the direction of a display screen 106 , a display information conversion unit 104 for converting display information on the basis of the direction of the display screen 106 , the size of the display information, etc., and a display processing unit 105 for displaying the display information on the display screen 106.

1 . A mobile terminal apparatus having a display unit for displaying desired display information, comprising:
 a direction detection unit detecting a direction of the display unit with respect to a body of the mobile terminal apparatus;   a display information conversion unit rotating display information to be displayed in a desired direction on a basis of the direction of the display unit detected by the direction detection unit, and the size of the display information; and   a display processing unit outputting the display information rotated by the display information conversion unit to the display unit.   
     
     
         2 . A display method for displaying desired display information on a display unit, comprising the steps of:
 detecting a direction of the display unit with respect to a body of the mobile terminal apparatus;   rotating the display information to be displayed in a desired direction on a basis of the detected direction of the display unit, and the size of the display information; and   outputting the display information rotated by the display information conversion unit to the display unit.   
     
     
         3 . A storage medium storing a program for displaying desired display information on a display unit used to direct a mobile terminal apparatus comprising:
 a direction detecting process of detecting a direction of the display unit with respect to a body of the mobile terminal apparatus;   a display information converting process of rotating display information to be displayed in a desired direction on a basis of the detected direction of the display unit, and the size of the display information; and   a display process outputting the display information rotated by the display information conversion unit to the display unit.
