As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the antenna 1 is provided so as to project from the lower housing 100 toward the hinge 300.
[0045]
Next, the operation of the mobile phone configured as described above will be described. Note that the mobile phone of the present embodiment has general functions of a mobile phone such as a voice call function. The processing for realizing such a function is the same as that of the related art, and the description thereof will be omitted. Here, the image display operation at the time of shooting by the camera unit 10 will be described in detail.
[0046]
When an operation mode for photographing using the camera unit 10 such as still image photographing and moving image photographing is activated, the baseband unit 3 operates in a known operation state for photographing the camera unit 10 and the multimedia codec 6 and the like. Set to. Along with this, the baseband unit 3 executes a shooting preparation process as shown in FIG.
[0047]
First, in step ST1, the baseband unit 3 acquires a detection signal output from the open / close sensor 18. In step ST2, the baseband unit 3 determines the state of the lower housing 100 and the upper housing 200 based on the acquired detection signal.
[0048]
When it is confirmed that the lower housing 100 and the upper housing 200 are in the unfolded state, the baseband unit 3 enables the operation setting for the main LCD 8 in step ST3. In step ST4, the baseband unit 3 enables the operation setting for the sub LCD 9. Next, in step ST5, the baseband unit 3 sets the initial angle of view of the camera unit 10 to the first angle of view. Further, in step ST6, the baseband unit 3 sets the capture mode to the normal mode, and ends the photographing preparation processing.
[0049]
On the other hand, if it is confirmed in step ST2 that the lower casing 100 and the upper casing 200 are in the folded state, the baseband unit 3 disables the operation setting for the main LCD 8 in step ST7. Further, in step ST8, the baseband unit 3 enables the operation setting for the sub LCD 9. Next, in step ST9, the baseband unit 3 sets the initial angle of view of the camera unit 10 to the first angle of view. Further, in step ST10, the baseband unit 3 sets the capture mode to the inversion mode, and ends the shooting preparation processing.
[0050]
The baseband unit 3 performs various settings in steps ST3, ST4, ST7, and ST8 on the LCD controller 7. The baseband unit 3 performs the settings in steps ST5 and ST9 for the camera unit 10. The baseband unit 3 performs the settings in steps ST6 and ST10 for the multimedia codec 6.
[0051]
The image data acquired by the camera unit 10 is supplied to the LCD controller 7 via the multimedia codec 6 in the shooting operation state. The LCD controller 7 displays an image based on the image data on an enabled LCD. The LCD controller 7 changes the direction of the image displayed on the sub LCD 9 according to the mode.
[0052]
Thus, when in the expanded state, the LCD controller 7 causes both the main LCD 8 and the sub LCD 9 to perform display. Further, at this time, the LCD controller 7 causes the sub LCD 9 to display a mirror image in which the left and right are inverted. At this time, the camera unit 10 initially sets the shooting angle of view to the first angle of view.
[0053]
As a result, at the start of shooting in the unfolded state, the camera section 10 is set to a shooting angle of view at which a person who is separated by a distance L1 of about 2 m can be properly shot as shown in FIG. Then, the erect image I1 obtained by the camera unit 10 is displayed on the main LCD 8 as shown in FIG. A mirror image I2 of the image obtained by the camera unit 10 is displayed on the sub LCD 9 as shown in FIG.
[0054]
That is, in this state, the operator of the mobile phone shoots while checking the image displayed on the main LCD 8, and the photographed person checks his / her own state on the image displayed on the sub LCD 9. Fit.
[0055]
On the other hand, when in the folded state, the LCD controller 7 causes only the sub LCD 9 to perform display. Further, at this time, the LCD controller 7 causes the sub LCD 9 to display a mirror image in which the left and right are inverted. At this time, the camera unit 10 initially sets the shooting angle of view to the second angle of view.
[0056]
As a result, at the start of shooting in the folded state, the camera section 10 is set to have a shooting angle of view at which a human face separated by a distance L2 of about 30 cm can be properly shot as shown in FIG. Then, a mirror image I3 of the image obtained by the camera unit 10 is displayed on the sub LCD 9 as shown in FIG.
[0057]
In other words, this state is suitable for a usage situation in which the operator of the mobile phone shoots himself while checking the image displayed on the sub LCD 9.
[0058]
After that, the angle of view of the camera unit 10 is changed according to an instruction from the operator.
[0059]
When the image obtained by the camera unit 10 is displayed as described above, the multimedia codec 6 captures the image data output by the camera unit 10 as shooting data at predetermined timings. For example, if the still image mode is set, the multimedia codec 6 captures photographing data every time a shutter operation is performed by a predetermined key operation on the input unit 14. If the moving image mode is set, photographing data is taken in every predetermined period during a period in which photographing execution is designated by a predetermined key operation on the input unit 14. The multimedia codec 6 performs compression processing or MPEG-4 / H. 324 (Annex C) processing and the like are performed in a known manner, and then passed to the baseband unit 3 for storage and transmission to the memory unit 5.
[0060]
At this time, if the normal mode is set as the capture mode, the multimedia codec 6 does not perform the image processing for rotating the image. However, if the reverse mode is set as the capture mode, the multimedia codec 6 performs image processing for rotating the direction of the image by 180 degrees.
[0061]
The mobile phone according to the present embodiment is provided with the antenna 1 protruding from the lower housing 100 toward the hinge 300. Generally, a mobile phone is used with the antenna 1 facing upward. For this reason, the mobile phone of the present embodiment is used in the posture shown in FIG. 2 in the unfolded state. The mobile phone of the present embodiment is used in the posture shown in FIG. 3 in the folded state. As a result, the upper housing 100 is turned upside down in the unfolded state and the folded state. Since the camera unit 10 is provided in the upper housing 100, the camera unit 10 is also turned upside down.
[0062]
As described above, in the unfolded state, the normal mode is set as the capture mode, and the image is not rotated. In the folded state, the reverse mode is set as the capture mode, and the image is rotated.
[0063]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the operation state is automatically set so that shooting can be performed in a shooting state suitable for each state between the unfolded state and the folded state. Thereby, convenience is improved.
[0064]
Further, according to the present embodiment, since the main LCD 8 does not operate in the folded state, it is possible to reduce power consumption.
[0065]
Further, according to the present embodiment, the difference in the orientation of the camera unit 10 between the unfolded state and the folded state is compensated by ON / OFF of the image rotation processing, so that a captured image in the same direction is acquired in any state. be able to.
[0066]
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, in the above embodiment, the control of ON / OFF of the main LCD 8, the control of the shooting angle of view of the camera unit 10, and the control of the rotation of the shot image are performed, respectively. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which one or two are not performed.
[0067]
Either the main LCD 8 or the sub LCD 9 may be provided in the lower housing 100.
[0068]
The specific contents of the first angle of view and the second angle of view may be arbitrary. For example, a standard subject in the unfolded state may be assumed to be a distant view, and the first angle of view may be set to an appropriate shooting angle of view. Alternatively, the first angle of view and the second angle of view may be settable by the user. By doing so, it is possible to perform flexible operation according to the difference in usage for each user, which is more convenient.
[0069]
Further, the lower housing 100 and the upper housing 200 may be connected so as to be relatively slidable, and may be configured to be opened and closed by a sliding operation.
[0070]
Further, the present invention can be applied to a mobile phone of a type different from the W-CDMA system or another type of mobile telephone terminal such as a PHS terminal.
[0071]
In addition, various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
[0072]
【The invention's effect】
According to the first aspect of the present invention, the second display means, which can be viewed in both the open state and the closed state, can be used in both the open state and the closed state. The image obtained by the photographing means is displayed, and the first display means displays the image obtained by the photographing means only when photographing in the open state. However, it is possible for the operator to take a picture while checking the image taken by the photographing means, and to display the photographed image only on the second display means in the closed state, so that the first display means is useless. Is prevented from operating. As a result, the mobile communication terminal can take an appropriate operation state for photographing in both the open state and the closed state.
[0073]
According to the second aspect of the present invention, the second display means, which can be viewed in both the open state and the closed state, can be used in both the open state and the closed state. An image obtained by the photographing means is displayed. The first display means displays at least an image obtained by the photographing means at the time of photographing in the open state. Therefore, the operator can check the image captured by the image capturing means in both the open state and the closed state, and can perform the image capturing. Also, since the antenna protrudes from the first housing toward the side where the second housing is located in the open state, the open state is used if the posture in which the antenna is upward is set to the standard use state. In the closed state, the second housing is turned upside down, and the photographing means is also turned upside down. However, in the closed state, the image captured as the captured image is rotated by 180 degrees, so that the image in the same direction is captured as the captured image in both the open state and the closed state. As a result, the mobile communication terminal can take an appropriate operation state for photographing in both the open state and the closed state.
[0074]
According to the third aspect of the present invention, the second display means, which can be viewed in both the open state and the closed state, can be used in both the open state and the closed state. The image obtained by the photographing means is displayed, and the angle of view of the photographing means is set to the first angle in the open state and to the second angle larger than the first angle in the closed state. The operator can check the image taken by the photographing means in any of the open state and the closed state, and can perform photographing, and in the closed state, the image is more than in the open state. Since the angle is increased, a shooting state suitable for shooting a subject closer to the camera in the closed state than in the open state is set. As a result, the mobile communication terminal can take an appropriate operation state for photographing in both the open state and the closed state.
