<Circuit of portable terminal device>
FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a circuit of the mobile terminal device 1.

  The mobile terminal device 1 of the present embodiment includes a CPU 23b, a memory 23c, a communication module 30, and an open / close sensor 28 in addition to the components described above.

  The first display unit 13 and the second display unit 25 receive image signals from the CPU 23b. By applying a voltage to the transparent electrodes of the display units 13 and 25 based on these image signals, the alignment of the liquid crystal changes, and the light passing through the liquid crystal is modulated. Thereby, in each display part 13 and 25, images, such as a figure, a photograph, a character, a picture, and a window, such as an icon and a keyboard, are displayed on each display area 13b and 25d. Moreover, in the 1st display part 13, in the range where the voltage is not applied, the transmittance | permeability becomes the maximum and light permeate | transmits. Here, since the first cover part 16, the first input part 14, and the first bottom part 11 sandwiching the first display part 13 are transparent, the light transmission range in the first display part 13 is transparent or translucent. Thus, a see-through state in which the scenery behind the first display unit 13 can be seen is obtained.

  Power from the battery 22 is supplied to the light emitting unit 25c of the second display unit 25 by a control signal from the CPU 23b. Thereby, the light emission part 25c light-emits. The emitted light enters the light guide plate 25b from the side surface of the light guide plate 25b, and a part of the light exits from the surface of the light guide plate 25b to the liquid crystal panel 25a side while being reflected inside the light guide plate 25b. Thereby, light is uniformly emitted from the entire light guide plate 25b, and the liquid crystal panel 25a is irradiated with light.

  The 1st input part 14 detects the position instruct | indicated with respect to the 1st display part 13, and outputs the position signal according to the instruction | indication position to CPU23b.

  The second input unit 24 detects a position instructed to the second display unit 25, and outputs a position signal corresponding to the instructed position to the CPU 23b.

  The battery 22 receives a control signal from the CPU 23b and supplies power to the CPU 23b, the display units 13 and 25, the input units 14 and 24, and the like according to the control signal.

  The memory 23c is a storage unit including a ROM and a RAM. The memory 23c stores a control program for giving a control function to the CPU 23b. The memory 23c stores video information captured by a camera module (not shown), video information and text information captured from the outside via the communication module 30, and the like in a predetermined file format.

  The communication module 30 is a transmission unit that transmits communication information such as telephone calls and e-mails. The communication module 30 converts an audio signal, a video signal, a text signal, and the like from the CPU 23b into a radio signal and transmits it to the base station via the antenna. The communication module 30 is also a receiving unit that receives communication information such as telephone calls and e-mails and radio signals such as televisions via an antenna. The communication module 30 converts the received wireless signal into an audio signal, a video signal, a text signal, etc., and outputs it to the CPU 23b.

The open / close sensor 28 is disposed at a position close to the magnet in the first embodiment, and the magnet is disposed in the vicinity of the locking portion 12b. The open / close sensor 28 is connected to the substrate 23 by wiring and transmits / receives a signal to / from the CPU 23b of the substrate 23. In the first embodiment, when the magnet is present in the vicinity of the open / close sensor 28, the open / close sensor 28 detects the magnetic field of the magnet and outputs a detection signal to the CPU 23b. On the other hand, when the magnet is separated from the open / close sensor 28 in the second embodiment, the open / close sensor 28 does not detect the magnetic field of the magnet and does not output a detection signal to the CPU 23b.

  The CPU 23b includes a display control unit 23b1 and a communication information processing unit 23b2. Each of these units is realized as a function of a program executed by the CPU 23b.

  The display control unit 23b1 acquires image information such as characters, photos, and pictures by reading from the memory 23c and receiving via the communication module 30. The display control unit 23b1 outputs the image information as an image signal to each of the first display unit 13 and the second display unit 25, and displays an image in each of the display areas 13b and 25d.

  The display control unit 23b1 outputs a control signal for adjusting the power supplied from the battery 22 to the first display unit 13, thereby controlling the voltage applied to the transparent electrode and changing the transmittance of the first display unit 13. Let Accordingly, the display control unit 23b1 sets a range other than the range where the image is displayed in the first display area 13b to the see-through state.

  When displaying an image on the second display unit 25, the display control unit 23b1 supplies power from the battery 22 to the light emitting unit 25c, and causes the light emitting unit 25c to emit light.

  The communication information processing unit 23b2 creates a message notifying that the communication information has been received by the communication module 30.

<Functions of mobile terminal device>
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for displaying a message in the display area. Fig.6 (a) shows the portable terminal device 1 of the 1st form which displayed the message on the 1st display area 13b. FIG. 6B shows the mobile terminal device 1 of the second form in which the received communication information is displayed in the first display area 13b.

  When the user operates the display areas 13b and 25d to select a function for displaying a message, the control mode for this function is activated.

  As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, in the first mode or the second mode, a program for displaying a television image is activated, and the television image is displayed in the second display area 25d. In the first form, the first display unit 13 is set in a see-through state, and the first display unit is overlaid on the second display region 25d. For this reason, the user can view the television image displayed in the second display area 25d through the first display area 13b.

  As described above, when an e-mail is received by the communication module 30 in a state where an image is displayed in the second display area 25d (S201), the e-mail is stored in the memory 23c, and from the open / close sensor 28. The presence or absence of a signal is determined. If the detection signal is not input from the open / close sensor 28, the CPU 23b determines that the mobile terminal device 1 is in the open state and the display form is the second form (S202: NO).

As shown in FIG. 6B, in the second mode, the first display area 13b and the second display area 25d are arranged side by side, and the user can see both display areas. For this reason, the notification information processing unit 23b2 reads out all the e-mail information from the memory 23c. Then, the display control unit 23b1 displays all the e-mail information in the first display area 13b while displaying the television image in the second display area 25d. The information of all electronic mails includes, for example, a subject, a sender, a transmission date / time, and a text. Thus, the received e-mail is displayed in the first display area 13b so as to notify the reception of the e-mail so as not to interfere with the television image displayed in the second display area 25d.

  On the other hand, when the detection signal indicating the closed state is input from the open / close sensor 28, the CPU 23b determines that the mobile terminal device 1 is in the closed state and the display form is the first form (S202: YES).

  Subsequently, the communication information processing unit 23b2 creates a message notifying that the electronic mail has arrived. Here, the communication information processing unit 23b2 extracts a subject from the information of the e-mail stored in the memory 23c, and creates a message based on the subject (S204).

  The display control unit 23b1 reads the subject from the memory 23c and displays it as a message in the first display area 13b (S205). As a result, as shown in FIG. 6A, the message displayed in the first display area 13b appears above the second display area 25d where the television image is displayed. In this case, “Good night” which is the subject of the e-mail appears on the second display area 25d to notify the reception of the e-mail.

When the user notices the message and switches the portable terminal device 1 from the first form to the second form, the detection signal indicating the closed state disappears from the open / close sensor 28. Therefore, the CPU 23b determines that the mobile terminal device 1 is in the open state and the display form is the second form (S206).
: YES).

In the second mode, since the first display area 13b is arranged beside the second display area 25d, the notification information processing unit 23b2 reads all the e-mail information from the memory 23c. Then, the display control unit 23b1 displays all of the e-mail information as information accompanying the message in the first display area 13b while continuing to display the television image in the second display area 25d (S207). As a result, the user can see all the e-mail information without blocking the television image.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when an image is displayed in the second display area 25d, a part of the e-mail information is displayed in the first display area 13b. Thus, without disturbing the process of displaying the image in the second display area 25d, the information of the e-mail is displayed in the first display area 13b, and the user can be notified of the reception of the e-mail.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, in the first embodiment, an image is displayed in the second display area 25d, and a message is displayed in the first display area 13b thereon. For this reason, the message is superimposed on the image of the second display area 25d, but the display area differs between the image and the message, and a distance is opened between these display areas. Thereby, the user can easily recognize that the image of the second display area 25d and the message are different information. Therefore, the user can know the reception of the e-mail by the message while looking at the image of the second display area 25d without confusing the image of the second display area 25d with the message.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, in the first embodiment, the display area other than the message is set to the see-through state in the first display area 13b. Therefore, the user can continue to see the image of the second display area 25d through the display area in the see-through state.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the user simply switches the portable terminal device 1 from the first form to the second form, and all the e-mail information is displayed in the first display area 13b. For this reason, the user can see the information of the e-mail in the first display area 13b arranged beside the second display area 25d while viewing the image in the second display area 25d.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when image information or the like is attached to the information of the e-mail, a message can be created using the attached information. For example, the communication information processing unit 23b2 extracts the moving image of the subject and the attached file from the information of the e-mail. And as shown in FIG. 7, the display control part 23b1 displays a subject in the 1st display area 13b, and displays the moving image which is waving on the background.

  Further, according to the above embodiment, the communication information processing unit 23b2 has created a message notifying that an e-mail has been received, but can also create a message notifying that a telephone call signal has been received. For example, the message includes a predetermined message such as an incoming call, a telephone number of a sender of information accompanying a call signal, a name of the sender, a registered image related to the sender, and the like. The name of the caller is obtained from the phone number of the caller with reference to the address book stored in the memory 23c. In addition, the registered image relating to the caller is stored in the memory 23c by the user of the mobile terminal device 1 in association with the caller's telephone number. The registered image relating to the caller may be an image related to the caller, such as a picture of the caller, or may be an image unrelated to the caller. Further, as shown in FIG. 8A, when a predetermined message such as an incoming call is displayed in the first display area 13b, a “response” button can also be displayed in the first display area 13b. As a result, when the user notices that there is an incoming call from the message, the user can respond to the incoming call by selecting the response button. Furthermore, when identifying and responding, the user switches the display form from the first form to the second form. As a result, as shown in FIG. 8B, the registered image relating to the caller, the caller's telephone number “XXX-XXX” accompanying the call signal, and the name of the caller “XXX XXX” Is displayed in the first display area 13b as information accompanying the message. The user can determine the caller from the registered image, telephone number, and name associated with the displayed caller. In addition to the telephone number, a button indicating response and rejection is displayed in the first display area 13b. The user can select an answer button or a reject button to answer or reject an incoming call depending on the caller. In addition, the telephone number and name of the caller are not displayed until the portable terminal device 1 is switched to the open state. Therefore, if the state of the mobile terminal device 1 is not switched, privacy such as the caller's telephone number is protected.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, a process for deleting a message can be provided. For example, the display control unit 23b1 displays a button for deleting the message in the first display area 13b together with the message. When the delete button is selected by the user, the message is not displayed in the first display area 13b. Thus, when the user knows the reception of the e-mail by the message, the message can be deleted according to the user's intention according to the user's convenience. Further, when a predetermined time has elapsed since the message was displayed, the message can be prevented from being displayed in the first display area 13b. Thus, the message is deleted even if the user does not operate.

  Moreover, according to the said embodiment, when the portable terminal device 1 was switched from the 1st form to the 2nd form, the information of all the emails was displayed on the 1st display area 13b. However, e-mail information may be displayed in the second display area 25d or in both the first display area 13b and the second display area 25d.

  Furthermore, in the above embodiment, all the e-mail information is displayed in the display areas 13b and 25d, but a part of the e-mail information can also be displayed. Further, when all the e-mail information cannot be displayed at once, the screen on which the e-mail information is displayed may be scrolled.

  In the above-described embodiment, the TV image is displayed in the second display area 25d. However, the image displayed in the second display area 25d is not limited to this, and may be an image such as a user's browsing target and operation target. That's fine. For example, the image is executed by another program such as an e-mail or a memo.

  Furthermore, in the said embodiment, although the communication information received by the communication module 30 was displayed on the 1st display area 13b as a message, a message is not limited to what concerns on reception of communication information. For example, the message may be a notification related to processing of the program such as a notification that the mobile terminal device is out of service or an error notification. In this case, an error notification is displayed in the first display area 13b in a state where the mobile terminal device 1 is in the first form. In response to this, when the mobile terminal device 1 is switched from the first form to the second form, an application name of a processing error or the like is displayed in the second display area 25d as information accompanying the message.

  In addition, the embodiment of the present invention can be variously modified as appropriate within the scope of the technical idea shown in the claims.
