Then, depending on the operation mode to be used, the operability may be reduced. In this specification, the technique which can eliminate such inconvenience is provided.

  The program described in this specification includes a sensor information output unit that outputs sensor information based on the attitude of the mobile terminal itself, and indication coordinates that are coordinates indicating a position where the indicator contacts the display area of the display unit. A computer that can be read by a computer of a mobile terminal equipped with a coordinate detection unit that detects the computer, and when the attitude of the mobile terminal indicated by the sensor information output from the sensor information output unit is a portrait attitude A mode in which an input operation by an indicator can be appropriately received when a palm is placed on a surface opposite to the surface provided with the display unit and the thumb is used as an indicator from one long side of the housing. In the first aspect, the object image for accepting the execution start instruction of various processes is displayed on the display unit, and the attitude of the mobile terminal indicated by the sensor information is a landscape figure. In the first mode, the first display control means that does not display the object image on the display unit, and the instruction coordinates detected by the coordinate detection unit when the object image is displayed in the first mode. Is a coordinate corresponding to the object image, the process in which the designated coordinate is assigned to the corresponding object image is executed, and when the object image is not displayed in the first mode, the designated coordinate is determined in advance. And a first process execution unit that performs the same process as the process assigned to the object image corresponding to the predetermined input mode in response to being input in the predetermined input mode. Features.

  In the program described in the present specification, the display mode of the object image is a mode that can appropriately accept an input operation when the mobile terminal is operated with one hand according to the attitude of the mobile terminal. It can change between an aspect and aspects other than a 1st aspect. Thereby, in the portrait posture in which the mobile terminal can be easily operated with one hand, it is possible to appropriately accept an input operation using the thumb as an indicator. Further, in a landscape posture in which the mobile terminal can be easily operated with both hands, execution commands for various processes can be accepted according to a predetermined input mode of designated coordinates instead of the object image. Thereby, the display of the object image can be omitted, so that the display area of the display unit can be used effectively. As described above, since the layout of the object image can be adjusted according to the difference between the case of one-handed operation and the case of two-handed operation, user operability can be improved.

When the portable terminal is operated with only one hand, it is often operated by attaching a pinky finger from the index finger to the other side of the casing and extending a thumb from one side of the casing to the display unit. In this case, the fingertip of the thumb may not reach the center of the display unit. According to the program described in this specification, when the portable terminal is operated with one hand, the object image can be displayed at a position close to one long side of the housing. Thereby, the object image can be displayed at a position where the fingertip can easily reach, so that the operability for the user can be improved.

According to the program described in the present specification , an object image can be displayed in an area close to one long side of the casing, so that user operability can be improved.

When the portable terminal is operated with both hands, the portable terminal is often held with one hand and the display unit is operated with the other hand. In this case, a plurality of designated coordinates can be input simultaneously. According to the program described in the present specification, it is possible to perform various image enlargement / reduction processes using a change in the distance between two designated coordinates input simultaneously. Therefore, user operability can be improved.

When the portable terminal is operated with only one hand, the range that the fingertip can reach on the display unit is narrower than when the portable terminal is operated with both hands. According to the program described in this specification, when the portable terminal is operated with one hand, the character string input image can be displayed smaller than when the portable terminal is operated with both hands. As a result, the fingertip can easily reach every corner of the character string input image, and the operability for the user can be improved.

When operating the mobile terminal with only the right hand, the mobile terminal is often operated by extending the thumb of the right hand from the right side of the mobile terminal to the display unit. Further, when operating the mobile terminal only with the left hand, the operation is often performed by extending the thumb of the left hand from the left side of the mobile terminal to the display unit. According to the program described in this specification, when the mobile terminal is operated with only the right hand, the object image is displayed so as to approach the right side of the display unit. When the mobile terminal is operated only with the left hand, the object image is displayed so as to approach the left side of the display unit. As a result, the fingertip can easily reach the object image, and the operability for the user can be improved.

According to the program described in this specification, when the movement range of the designated coordinates is located closer to the right side of the display unit, it can be determined that the mobile terminal is being operated with only the right hand. . This is because, when inputting an operation for moving the designated coordinates only with the right hand, the thumb of the right hand extended from the right side of the mobile terminal to the display unit is often moved on the display unit. Similarly, when the movement range of the designated coordinates is located closer to the left side of the display unit, it can be determined that the mobile terminal is being operated with only the left hand. As a result, the object image can be displayed at a position where the fingertip can easily reach, so that the operability for the user can be improved.

According to the program described in this specification, when the designated coordinates are moving with an angle in the upper right direction with respect to the lower side of the display unit, the portable terminal is operated only with the right hand. Can be determined. This is to move the thumb of the right hand extended from the right side of the portable terminal to the display unit using the base of the thumb as a fulcrum when inputting an operation for moving the designated coordinates with only the right hand. For this reason, as the fingertip of the thumb moves from the left side to the right side, the position of the fingertip tends to move upward in the display unit. Similarly, when the designated coordinate moves with an angle in the upper left direction with respect to the lower side of the display unit, it can be determined that the mobile terminal is being operated only with the left hand. it can. As a result, the object image can be displayed at a position where the fingertip can easily reach, so that the operability for the user can be improved.

According to the program described in this specification , when the first side is located closer to the right side, it can be determined that the portable terminal is being operated only with the right hand. This is because when the mobile terminal is held only with the right hand, the first side with the biased center of gravity is likely to have an orientation in which the first side is the right side. Because there is a tendency to have. Similarly, when the first side is located closer to the left side, it can be determined that the portable terminal is being operated with only the left hand. As a result, the object image can be displayed at a position where the fingertip can easily reach, so that the operability for the user can be improved.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, the mobile terminal 10 includes a CPU (abbreviation of central processing unit) 11, a storage unit 12, a wireless transmission / reception unit 15, a wireless antenna unit 16, a button input unit 17, a panel 18, a coordinate detection unit 19, and transmission / reception. It mainly includes a unit 22, an antenna unit 23, an acceleration sensor 26, a camera unit 27, and a tilt sensor (also referred to as a gyroscope) 29. In addition, a speaker 3 and a microphone 4 are provided to perform a call and voice input. An example of the mobile terminal 10 is a smartphone.

  The button input unit 17 receives an operation by the user of the mobile terminal 10. The panel 18 displays various function information of the mobile terminal 10. The coordinate detection unit 19 is a part that detects indication coordinates, which are coordinates indicating a position where an indicator (for example, a user's fingertip) contacts the display area of the panel 18. The coordinate detection unit 19 is configured integrally with the panel 18 as a touch panel. The coordinate detection unit 19 can detect a plurality of designated coordinates at the same time.

  As shown in the schematic overview of the mobile terminal 10 in FIG. 4, the casing of the mobile terminal 10 has a rectangular shape having a short side and a long side. The portable terminal 10 is a model for both vertical and horizontal directions in which the user can operate the portable terminal 10 correctly in any of the portrait posture and the landscape posture. The portrait orientation of the mobile terminal 10 is an orientation in which the user interface should be displayed so that the left-right direction of the user interface image is the same as the short side direction of the housing, as shown in FIG. That is, the portrait posture is a posture suitable for the user to hold the mobile terminal 10 with one hand. As shown in FIG. 5, the landscape orientation of the mobile terminal 10 is an orientation in which the user interface should be displayed so that the left-right direction of the user interface image is the same as the long side direction of the housing. That is, the landscape posture is a posture suitable for the user to hold the mobile terminal 10 with both hands. The portrait posture is when the long side of the mobile terminal 10 is inclined at an angle A (for example, 10 degrees) or more from the horizontal direction, and the landscape is when the short side of the mobile terminal 10 is inclined at an angle A or more from the horizontal direction. It may be a posture. Also, the portrait orientation is when the long side of the mobile terminal 10 is tilted from the horizontal direction by an angle B (for example, 50 degrees) or more, and the long side of the mobile terminal 10 is tilted by less than the angle B from the horizontal direction. It may be a landscape posture. Further, the posture may be defined by the inclination of the short side of the mobile terminal 10. Further, the posture may be defined by the inclination of the housing with respect to the vertical direction. Assuming that the mobile terminal 10 is held by the user, the portrait posture is a posture in which the long side direction of the housing is directed toward the user, and the landscape posture is the short side direction of the housing is the user. It can be said that it is a posture toward

  The storage unit 12 stores a program 21. The program 21 includes a print application 21a and an operating system 21e. The print application 21a is an application for causing the CPU 11 to execute a printing process from the mobile terminal 10 to an MFP (not shown) (not shown). The CPU 11 executes processing according to the print application 21a to acquire web page data from a web server (not shown), store web page data in the storage unit 12, and web page data in the storage unit 12 Can be displayed on the panel 18.

  The print application 21 a includes portrait layout information 31 and landscape layout information 33. The layout information is information indicating the display position on the panel 18 of various images such as a web page image, a print preview image, and an object image. These layout information may be XML (abbreviation of Extensible Markup Language) files. There are various methods for indicating the display positions of various images. For example, the display position may be indicated by defining the relative position between displayed images. Further, for each displayed image, a method of indicating the display position by defining a relative position with respect to the display origin of the panel 18 (for example, the upper left corner of the panel 18) may be used.

  The portrait layout information 31 is information indicating the display positions of various images when various images are displayed on the panel 18 when the attitude of the mobile terminal 10 is the portrait attitude. A mode in which various images are arranged by the portrait layout information 31 is called a portrait mode. In the portrait mode, the user's palm is placed on the surface opposite to the surface including the panel 18 (that is, the back surface of the mobile terminal 10), and the thumb is used as an indicator from one long side of the mobile terminal 10 housing. It is possible to assume that the input operation with the thumb is appropriately received when the little finger is attached from the index finger to the other long side of the housing.

  The landscape layout information 33 is information indicating display positions of various images when various images are displayed on the panel 18 when the posture of the mobile terminal 10 is the landscape posture. A mode in which various images are arranged according to the landscape layout information 33 is called a landscape mode. The landscape mode assumes that an input operation is appropriately received when the casing of the mobile terminal 10 is held with one hand of the user and the index finger or thumb of the other hand is brought into contact with the panel 18 as an indicator. It may be an aspect.

  The operating system 21e is a program that provides basic functions that are commonly used by the print application 21a and the like.

The operating system 21e is used for each program to acquire information output from the acceleration sensor 26, the tilt sensor 29, or the like, or information calculated by the CPU 11 based on information output from the acceleration sensor 26, the tilt sensor 29, or the like. Alternatively, it is a program that provides an API (abbreviation of application programming interface) for each program to instruct various hardware.

  The storage unit 12 stores object image data. The object image data is image data for displaying an object image for displaying various types of information on the display unit. Examples of object images include button images that accept input of various commands, keyboard images that accept input of various character strings, and the like. The storage unit 12 temporarily stores various data such as web page data.

<Operation of mobile terminal>
The operation of the mobile terminal 10 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. When the user inputs an operation for starting the print application 21a via the button input unit 17, the CPU 11 starts the print application 21a. Thereby, the flow of FIG. 2 is started.

  In S411, the CPU 11 determines whether or not various image display instructions have been input. The display instruction may be an instruction for displaying a web page image, for example. The display instruction may be input by inputting a URL (for example, http://www.xxx.com) for accessing the web page data. If various image display instructions have not been input (S411: NO), the process returns to S411. If a display instruction has been input (S411: YES), the process proceeds to S413.

  In S413, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the mobile terminal 10 is in the portrait posture. Specifically, the CPU 11 acquires sensor information from the tilt sensor 29 using the API, and calculates the attitude of the mobile terminal 10 using the acquired sensor information. When the portable terminal 10 is in the portrait posture (S413: YES), the process proceeds to S415. In S415, the CPU 11 loads the portrait layout information 31. Specifically, the XML file path of the portrait layout information 31 is passed to the operating system 21e using the API. The operating system 21e determines display positions of various images based on the display origin according to the read portrait layout information 31. The display origin may be, for example, the upper left corner of the panel 18. Then, the process proceeds to S417. Note that the OS may calculate the attitude of the mobile terminal 10 based on the sensor information. In this case, in S413, the CPU 11 may acquire information indicating the posture of the casing from the OS using the API, and determine whether or not the mobile terminal 10 is in the portrait posture.

  In S417, the CPU 11 displays a display screen including various object images on the panel 18 in a portrait mode based on the loaded portrait layout information 31. FIG. 4 shows an example of a display screen displayed in a portrait mode based on the portrait layout information 31. On the panel 18, a web page image P1a and an input box image B1a to a scroll button image B5a are displayed. The web page image P1a is an image represented by web page data. The input box image B1a is an image for receiving input of various character strings (for example, URL). Each of the enlargement button image B2a and the reduction button image B3a is a button image that receives an input of an execution instruction for each of the process for enlarging and reducing the web page image P1a. Each of the scroll button images B4a and B5a is a button image that receives an input of an execution command for a process of scrolling the web page image P1a left and right. The display area of the panel 18 can be divided into partial panel areas SP1 to SP3. The partial panel areas SP1 to SP3 are areas obtained by dividing the display area of the panel 18 into three equal parts in the short side direction of the mobile terminal 10 (that is, the direction along the lower side L3). Each of the enlarged button image B2a to the scroll button image B5a is displayed in the area of the partial panel area SP1 that is closest to the left side L1 that is the long side. In the example of the first embodiment, the operation when the display screen shown in FIG. 4 is shown will be described below.

  In S419, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the enlarged button image B2a or the reduced button image B3a has been touched. If not touched (S419: NO), the process proceeds to S421, and if touched (S419: YES), the process proceeds to S420. In S420, when the enlargement button image B2a is touched, the CPU 11 executes a process for enlarging the web page image P1a, which is a process assigned to the enlargement button image B2a. When the reduction button image B3a is touched, a process for reducing the web page image P1a, which is a process assigned to the reduction button image B3a, is executed. Then, the process proceeds to S421.

  In S421, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the scroll button image B4a or B5a is touched. If not touched (S421: NO), the process proceeds to S423, and if touched (S421: YES), the process proceeds to S422. In S422, when the scroll button image B4a is touched, the CPU 11 executes a process of scrolling the web page image P1a to the left, which is a process assigned to the scroll button image B4a. When the scroll button image B5a is touched, a process of scrolling the web page image P1a to the right, which is a process assigned to the scroll button image B5a, is executed. Then, the process proceeds to S423.

  In S423, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the input box image B1a has been touched. If not touched (S423: NO), the process proceeds to S427. If touched (S423: YES), the process proceeds to S424.

  In S424, the CPU 11 displays a display screen including a keyboard image on the panel 18 in a portrait mode based on the loaded portrait layout information 31. FIG. 6 shows an example of a display screen displayed in a portrait mode based on the portrait layout information 31. On the panel 18, a keyboard image B11a and a display box image B12a are displayed. The keyboard image B11a is an image for receiving input of various character strings. The keyboard image B11a has a smaller area in the display area of the panel 18 than a keyboard image B11b (see FIG. 7) displayed in a landscape manner to be described later. The display box image B12a is an image for displaying a character string that has been accepted by the keyboard image B11a.

  In S425, when the key image in the keyboard image B11a is touched, the CPU 11 executes a process of accepting input of a character string assigned to the touched key image. Then, the process proceeds to S427.

  In S427, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the posture of the mobile terminal 10 has changed between the portrait posture and the landscape posture. Specifically, it is determined whether or not an event indicating that the attitude of the mobile terminal 10 has changed has been issued from the operating system 21e. If the posture has not changed (S427: NO), the process returns to S419, and if it has changed (S427: YES), the process returns to S413.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S413 that the mobile terminal 10 is in the landscape posture (S413: NO), the process proceeds to S435 in FIG. In S435, the CPU 11 loads the landscape layout information 33. Since the specific loading method is the same as the loading method of the portrait layout information 31 described above, the description thereof is omitted here.

  In S437, the CPU 11 displays a display screen including various object images on the panel 18 in a landscape mode based on the loaded landscape layout information 33. FIG. 5 shows an example of a display screen displayed in a landscape mode based on the landscape layout information 33. On the panel 18, a web page image P1b, an input box image B1b, and scroll button images B4b and B5b are displayed. In the explanation example of the first embodiment, the operation when the display screen shown in FIG. 5 is shown will be described below.

  In S439, the CPU 11 determines whether a pinch-out operation or a pinch-in operation has been input. The pinch-out operation is an operation for changing the distance between two designated coordinates that are input at the same time. The pinch-out operation is an operation corresponding to the enlarged button image B2a (see FIG. 4) displayed in the portrait mode described above. The pinch-in operation is an operation for changing the distance between two designated coordinates that are input at the same time. The pinch-in operation is an operation corresponding to the reduced button image B3a (see FIG. 4) displayed in the portrait mode described above. When the pinch-out operation or the pinch-in operation is not input (S439: NO), the process proceeds to S441, and when it is input (S439: YES), the process proceeds to S440.

  In S440, when a pinch-out operation is input, the CPU 11 executes a process for enlarging the web page image P1a, which is a process assigned to the enlarged button image B2a. When a pinch-in operation is input, a process for reducing the web page image P1a, which is a process assigned to the reduction button image B3a, is executed. Then, the process proceeds to S441.

  In S441, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the scroll button image B4b or B5b is touched. If not touched (S441: NO), the process proceeds to S443. If touched (S441: YES), the process proceeds to S442. In S442, when the scroll button image B4b is touched, the CPU 11 executes a process of scrolling the web page image P1b to the left. When the scroll button image B5b is touched, a process of scrolling the web page image P1b to the right is executed. Then, the process proceeds to S443.

  In S443, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the input box image B1b is touched. If not touched (S443: NO), the process proceeds to S447. If touched (S443: YES), the process proceeds to S444.

  In S444, the CPU 11 displays a display screen including a keyboard image on the panel 18 in a landscape mode based on the loaded landscape layout information 33. FIG. 7 shows an example of a display screen displayed in a landscape mode based on the landscape layout information 33. On the panel 18, a keyboard image B11b and a display box image B12b are displayed.

  In S445, when the key image in the keyboard image B11b is touched, the CPU 11 executes a process of receiving an input of a character string assigned to the touched key image. Then, the process proceeds to S447. In S447, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the posture of the mobile terminal 10 has changed between the portrait posture and the landscape posture. If the posture has not changed (S447: NO), the process returns to S439, and if it has changed (S447: YES), the process returns to S413 in FIG.

<Effects of First Embodiment>
In the mobile terminal 10 described in this specification, depending on the attitude of the mobile terminal 10, various display modes of button images are appropriately accepted when the mobile terminal 10 is operated with one hand. It is possible to change between a portrait mode that is an assumed mode and a landscape mode that is a mode that is assumed to appropriately receive an input operation when the mobile terminal 10 is operated with both hands. Specifically, the scroll button images B4a and B5a (see FIG. 4) displayed in the portrait mode are more portable than the scroll button images B4b and B5b (see FIG. 5) displayed in the landscape mode. It can arrange | position so that the left side L1 of the housing | casing of the terminal 10 may be approached. Thus, when the operation is performed by extending the thumb from the left side of the housing to the panel 18, the scroll button image can be displayed at a position where the fingertip of the thumb can easily reach, thereby improving the operability for the user. be able to.

  When the display screen is displayed in the portrait mode, the user often operates the mobile terminal 10 with both hands, and therefore it is possible to use a plurality of indicators such as an index finger and a thumb. Therefore, on the display screen of the portrait mode (see FIG. 5), instead of the operation of touching the enlarged button image B2a or the reduced button image B3a of the landscape mode display screen (see FIG. 4), the panel 18 is displayed. A process of enlarging or reducing the web page image P1a can be executed in response to the input of the pinch-out operation or the pinch-in operation. Thereby, the display screen (see FIG. 5) displayed in the landscape mode corresponds to the enlarged button image B2a and the reduced button image B3a included in the display screen (see FIG. 4) displayed in the portrait mode. The display of the button image to be performed can be omitted. Thereby, the display screen of FIG. 5 displayed in the landscape mode can use the display area of the panel 18 more effectively than the display screen of FIG. 4 displayed in the portrait mode. .

  When operating the mobile terminal 10 with only one hand, it is often operated by extending the thumb from one side of the casing of the mobile terminal 10 to the display unit. Therefore, the range in which the fingertip reaches on the panel 18 is narrower when the operation is performed with only one hand than when the operation is performed with both hands. The keyboard image B11a (see FIG. 6) displayed in a landscape mode suitable for one-handed operation is compared with the keyboard image B11b (see FIG. 7) displayed in a portrait mode suitable for two-handed operation. Are displayed so that the area occupied in the display area becomes smaller. Thereby, since the fingertip of the thumb can easily reach every corner of the keyboard image B11a, user operability can be improved.

Second Embodiment
The print application 21a according to the second embodiment includes right-handed layout information and left-handed layout information. The right-handed layout information is information indicating the display positions of various images when various images are displayed on the panel 18 when the posture of the mobile terminal 10 is the right-handed posture. As shown in FIG. 9, the right hand-held posture means that the right hand palm is placed on the surface opposite to the surface including the panel 18 (that is, the back surface of the mobile terminal 10), and the right side L2 side of the casing of the mobile terminal 10. The thumb is in contact with the panel 18 as an indicator. A mode in which various images are arranged according to right-handed layout information is called a right-handed display mode. Further, the left one-hand layout information is information indicating display positions of various images when various images are displayed on the panel 18 when the posture of the mobile terminal 10 is the left one-handed posture. As shown in FIG. 10, the left one-handed posture means that the palm of the left hand is placed on the surface opposite to the surface provided with the panel 18, and the thumb is used as an indicator on the panel 18 from the left side L1 side of the casing of the mobile terminal 10. It is a posture to contact. A mode in which various images are arranged according to the left one-hand layout information is called a left one-hand display mode. In addition, since the other structure of the mobile telephone 10 in 2nd Embodiment may be the same as that of 1st Embodiment, description is abbreviate | omitted here.

  The operation of the mobile terminal 10 according to the second embodiment will be described using the flowchart of FIG. The flow in FIG. 8 is started in response to activation of the print application 21a. In S <b> 511, the CPU 11 determines whether or not a flick operation is input to the coordinate detection unit 19. An example of a method for determining whether or not a flick operation is input will be described. The CPU 11 uses the coordinate detection unit 19 to detect the designated coordinates at a predetermined detection cycle (eg, every several tens of milliseconds). Then, when the movement of the designated coordinate is detected and the designated coordinate is not detected after that, the movement speed of the designated coordinate is calculated. The moving speed of the designated coordinates is calculated based on the distance between the two points of the two designated coordinates detected immediately before the time when the designated coordinates are no longer detected, and the detection cycle. If the calculated movement speed of the designated coordinates is smaller than a predetermined movement speed threshold, it is determined that the flick operation has not been input (S511: NO), and the process returns to S511. On the other hand, if the moving speed of the designated coordinates is greater than the moving speed threshold, it is determined that a flick operation has been input (S511: YES), and the process proceeds to S513.

  In S513, the CPU 11 determines whether the mobile terminal 10 is in the right one-handed posture or the left one-handed posture. An example of the determination process performed in S513 will be described. In step S511, the CPU 11 detects the movement range in which the designated coordinates have moved. When the detected movement range is located closer to the right side L2 of the casing of the mobile terminal 10, it can be determined that the posture is the right hand-held posture. This is because when the flick operation is input with only the right hand, as shown in FIG. 9, the thumb of the right hand extended from the right side L2 side of the housing to the panel 18 is moved on the panel 18, so that the designated coordinates are moved. This is because the range R1 is closer to the right side L2 than the left side L1 of the housing. On the other hand, when the detected movement range is located closer to the left side L1 of the casing of the mobile terminal 10, it can be determined that the posture is the left one-handed posture. This is because when the flick operation is input only with the left hand, as shown in FIG. 10, the thumb of the left hand extended from the left side L1 side of the housing to the panel 18 is moved on the panel 18, so that the designated coordinates are moved. This is because the range R2 is closer to the left side L1 than the right side L2 of the housing.

  If it is determined in S513 that the mobile terminal 10 is in the right one-handed posture (S513: right one-handed posture), the process proceeds to S515. In S515, the CPU 11 loads the right-handed layout information. In S517, the CPU 11 displays a new display screen on the panel 18 in accordance with the flick direction of the flick operation input in S511. FIG. 11 shows an example of a display screen after switching, which is displayed in a right-handed display mode based on right-handed layout information. On the panel 18, an enlarged button image B2c to a scroll button image B5c are displayed in the right-handed display mode based on the right-handed layout information. Specifically, the enlarged button image B2c to the scroll button image B5c are displayed so as to approach the right side L2 rather than the left side L1 of the casing of the mobile terminal 10. Each of the enlarged button image B2c to the scroll button image B5c is displayed in the area of the partial panel area SP3 that is closest to the right side L2.

  In S523, the CPU 11 determines whether any of the input box image B1c to the scroll button image B5c is touched. If not touched (S523: NO), the process proceeds to S527. If touched (S523: YES), the process proceeds to S525. In S525, the CPU 11 executes a process assigned to the touched button image. Note that the content of the executed process is the same as the content of the process described in S410, S422, S424, and S425, and thus the description thereof is omitted here.

  In S527, the CPU 11 determines whether or not a flick operation has been input to the panel 18. When it is not input (S527: NO), the process returns to S523, and when it is input (S527: YES), the process returns to S513.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in S513 that the mobile terminal 10 is in the left one-handed posture (S513: left one-handed posture), the process proceeds to S535. In S535, the CPU 11 loads the left one-hand layout information. In S537, the CPU 11 causes the panel 18 to display a new display screen according to the flick direction of the flick operation input in S511. FIG. 4 shows an example of the display screen after switching that is displayed in the left-handed display mode based on the left-handed layout information. On the panel 18, an enlarged button image B2a to a scroll button image B5a are displayed in a left-handed display mode based on left-handed layout information. Specifically, the enlarged button image B2a to the scroll button image B5a are displayed so as to be closer to the left side L1 than to the right side L2 of the casing of the mobile terminal 10. Each of the enlarged button image B2a to the scroll button image B5a is displayed in the area of the partial panel area SP1 that is closest to the left side L1.

  In S543, the CPU 11 determines whether any of the input box image B1a to the scroll button image B5a is touched. If not touched (S543: NO), the process proceeds to S547. If touched (S543: YES), the process proceeds to S545. In S545, the CPU 11 executes processing assigned to the touched button image. In S547, the CPU 11 determines whether or not a flick operation has been input to the panel 18. If it is not input (S547: NO), the process returns to S543. If it is input (S547: YES), the process returns to S513.

<Effects of Second Embodiment>
In the portable terminal 10 described in this specification, when the display screen is switched by a flick operation, when it is detected that the portable terminal 10 is in the right one-handed posture, the display after switching in FIG. As shown on the screen, the enlarged button image B2c to the scroll button image B5c can be displayed so as to approach the right side L2 rather than the left side L1 of the casing of the mobile terminal 10 (example: S517). When operating the mobile terminal 10 with only the right hand, since the thumb of the right hand is often extended from the right side L2 side of the mobile terminal 10 to the panel 18, various buttons are provided at positions where the fingertip of the thumb can easily reach. An image can be displayed. Therefore, user operability can be improved.

  When the display screen is switched by a flick operation, if it is detected that the mobile terminal 10 is in the left one-handed posture, the housing of the mobile terminal 10 is displayed as shown in the display screen after switching in FIG. The enlarged button image B2a to the scroll button image B5a can be displayed so as to approach the left side L1 rather than the right side L2 of the body (example: S537). When operating the mobile terminal 10 with only the left hand, since the left hand thumb is often extended from the left side L1 side of the mobile terminal 10 to the panel 18, various buttons are placed at positions where the fingertip of the thumb can easily reach. An image can be displayed. Therefore, user operability can be improved.

  Specific examples of the present invention have been described in detail above, but these are merely examples and do not limit the scope of the claims. The technology described in the claims includes various modifications and changes of the specific examples illustrated above. The modifications of the above embodiment are listed below.

<Modification>
In S513, various methods can be used as a method of determining the attitude of the mobile terminal 10. For example, the CPU 11 may detect the movement direction in which the designated coordinates have moved in S511. Then, as shown by an arrow Y1 in FIG. 9, when the detected moving direction has an angle in the diagonally upper right direction with respect to the lower side L3 of the casing of the mobile terminal 10, the right hand-held posture is used. It may be judged that there is. This is because when the flick operation is input only with the right hand, the thumb of the right hand extended from the right side L2 side of the housing to the panel 18 is moved using the base of the thumb as a fulcrum. For this reason, when inputting either the left-right flick operation or the up-down flick operation, the position of the thumb fingertip moves upward in the panel 18 as the thumb fingertip moves from the left side L1 side to the right side L2 side. This is because it tends to move easily. In addition, as shown by an arrow Y2 in FIG. 10, when the detected moving direction has an angle in the upper left direction with respect to the lower side L3 of the casing of the mobile terminal 10, the left one-handed posture is used. It may be judged that there is. This is because when the flick operation is input only with the left hand, the thumb of the left hand extended from the left side L1 side of the housing to the panel 18 is moved using the base of the thumb as a fulcrum. Thereby, since various button images can be displayed at a position where the fingertip of the thumb can easily reach, the user operability can be improved.

  In S513, various methods can be used as a method of determining the attitude of the mobile terminal 10. For example, the mobile terminal 10 may be positioned such that the center of gravity is biased so as to approach the right side L2 of the left side L1 and the right side L2. In S513, when the right side L2 of the casing of the mobile terminal 10 is positioned on the right side as viewed from the user, the CPU 11 may determine that the posture is the right hand-held posture. The posture of the mobile terminal 10 in which the right side L2 is located on the right side when viewed from the user is the posture in which the right side L2 is located on the right side with respect to the left side L1 and the speaker 3 is located on the upper side of the housing as shown in FIG. It is. This is because when the mobile terminal 10 is held only with the right hand, the right side L2 having a biased center of gravity is likely to be positioned near the base of the thumb, so the right side L2 is positioned on the right side when viewed from the user. This is because the mobile terminal 10 tends to be held. In S513, when the right side L2 of the casing of the mobile terminal 10 is located on the left side when viewed from the user, the CPU 11 may determine that the posture is the left one-hand holding posture. The posture of the mobile terminal 10 in which the right side L2 is located on the left side when viewed from the user is a posture in which the left side L1 is located on the right side with respect to the right side L2 and the speaker 3 is located on the lower side of the casing. That is, it is a posture obtained by rotating the posture of the mobile terminal 10 shown in FIG. 9 by 180 degrees. This is because when the mobile terminal 10 is held only with the left hand, the right side L2 having a biased center of gravity is likely to be positioned near the base of the thumb, so that the right side L2 is positioned on the left side when viewed from the user. This is because the mobile terminal 10 tends to be held. Thereby, since various button images can be displayed at a position where the fingertip of the thumb can easily reach, the user operability can be improved.

  In the display screen (see FIG. 5) displayed in the landscape mode, the display of the button image corresponding to the button image included in the display screen (see FIG. 4) displayed in the portrait mode may be omitted. Although it was possible, it is not restricted to this form. For example, on the portrait display screen (see FIG. 5), a button corresponding to the enlarged button image B2a or the reduced button image B3a may be displayed and an input of a pinch-out operation or a pinch-in operation may be accepted.

  The type of instruction for receiving an input in S411 is not limited to a web page image display instruction. For example, an HTML mail display instruction may be used.

  The display mode of the panel 18 shown in FIGS. 4, 5 and 11 is an example, and other display modes can be used.

  The display origin of the panel 18 that is a reference for determining the display position of various images is not limited to the upper left corner of the panel 18. Various positions can be set as the reference position according to the type of the mobile terminal 10.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the CPU 11 executed based on the print application 21a performs various processes has been described. However, it is not limited to this form. As a modified example, the CPU 11 executed based on the print application 21a may issue an instruction to perform various types of processing to the operating system 21e, other programs, and hardware configuration (panel 18 or the like).
