As shown in FIG. 2, the tablet communication terminal 100 made of a rectangular parallelepiped has six surfaces including a front surface 101, a top surface 102, a right side surface 103, a left side surface 104, a bottom surface 105, and a back surface 106.
A display unit 400 is provided on the front surface 101. The size of the display unit 400 is, for example, 7 inches to 15 inches, preferably 9 inches to 13 inches.

(Flowchart of control unit 500 of tablet communication terminal 100)
3 and 4 are flowcharts showing an example of the operation of the control unit 500 of the tablet communication terminal 100. FIG. 5 to 12 show examples of operation modes of the tablet communication terminal 100. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 3, the control unit 500 determines whether or not an impact has been detected based on a detection signal from the acceleration sensor 200 (step S1). That is, it is determined whether or not the tablet communication terminal 100 has been hit. The tapping of the tablet communication terminal 100 can be performed while wearing a glove or the like.
When it is determined that no impact is detected (No in step S1), the control unit 500 stands by.

On the other hand, when it determines with having detected the impact (Yes of step S1), the control part 500 determines whether the detection signal of the acceleration sensor 200 is a thing by the impact from the front 101 (step S2).
For example, as shown in FIG. 5, when the user strikes the front surface 101 of the tablet communication terminal 100 with the hand HC wearing the glove, it is determined Yes in step S <b> 2.
When it is determined that the detection signal of the acceleration sensor 200 is due to an impact from the front surface 101 (Yes in step S2), the control unit 500 displays the display on the display unit 400 at a predetermined magnification (step S11).

On the other hand, when it is determined that the detection signal of the acceleration sensor 200 is not due to an impact from the front surface 101 (No in step S2), the control unit 500 determines whether or not the detection signal of the acceleration sensor 200 is due to an impact from the top surface 102. Is determined (step S3).
For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the user strikes the top surface 102 of the tablet communication terminal 100 with the hand HC wearing the glove, it is determined as Yes in step S3.
If it is determined that the detection signal of the acceleration sensor 200 is due to an impact from the top surface 102 (Yes in step S3), the control unit 500 additionally displays a thumbnail of the table of contents or menu on the display of the display unit 400 ( Step S12).

On the other hand, when it is determined that the detection signal of the acceleration sensor 200 is not due to an impact from the top surface 102 (No in step S3), the control unit 500 determines whether the detection signal of the acceleration sensor 200 is due to an impact from the right side surface 103. It is determined whether or not (step S4).
For example, as shown in FIG. 7, when the user strikes the right side surface 103 of the tablet communication terminal 100 with the hand HC wearing the glove, it is determined Yes in step S4.
When it is determined that the detection signal of the acceleration sensor 200 is due to an impact from the right side surface 103 (Yes in step S4), the control unit 500 changes the display of the display unit 400 to a screen on which the next page is displayed. (Step S13). In this case, as shown in FIG. 7, the display of the next page may be displayed so as to gradually move from the right side, or the screen is displayed so as to instantaneously switch (jump move) to the screen on which the next page is displayed. Alternatively, it may be displayed so that the next page appears by turning over at least part of the right side of the current page.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the detection signal from the acceleration sensor 200 is not due to an impact from the right side surface 103 (No in step S4), the control unit 500 determines whether the detection signal from the acceleration sensor 200 is due to an impact from the left side surface 104. It is determined whether or not (step S5).
For example, as shown in FIG. 8, when the user strikes the left side surface 104 of the tablet communication terminal 100 with the gloved hand HC, Yes is determined in step S5.
When it is determined that the detection signal of the acceleration sensor 200 is due to an impact from the left side surface 104 (Yes in step S5), the control unit 500 changes the display on the display unit 400 to the screen on which the previous page is displayed. (Step S14). In this case, as shown in FIG. 8, the display of the previous page may be displayed so as to gradually move from the left side, or it may be displayed so as to instantaneously switch (jump move) to the screen on which the previous page is displayed. Alternatively, it may be displayed so that the left side of the current page turns and the previous page appears.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the detection signal from the acceleration sensor 200 is not due to an impact from the left side surface 104 (No in step S5), the control unit 500 determines whether the detection signal from the acceleration sensor 200 is due to an impact from the bottom surface 105. Is determined (step S6).
For example, as shown in FIG. 9, when the user hits the bottom surface 105 of the tablet communication terminal 100 with the hand HC wearing the glove, it is determined Yes in step S6.
When it is determined that the detection signal of the acceleration sensor 200 is due to an impact from the bottom surface 105 (Yes in step S6), the control unit 500 erases the table of contents display on the display unit 400 (step S15).

Finally, when it is determined that the detection signal of the acceleration sensor 200 is not due to an impact from the bottom surface 105 (No in step S6), the control unit 500 determines whether or not the detection signal of the acceleration sensor 200 is due to an impact from the back surface 106. Is determined (step S7).
For example, as shown in FIG. 10, when the user strikes the back surface 106 of the tablet communication terminal 100 with the hand HC wearing the glove, it is determined Yes in step S7.
When it is determined that the detection signal of the acceleration sensor 200 is due to an impact from the back surface 106 (Yes in step S7), the control unit 500 reduces the display on the display unit 400 (step S16).

Further, in the state where the thumbnail of the table of contents or menu is additionally displayed in FIG. 6, the thumbnail is left or right by tapping the right side surface 103 or the left side surface 104 of the tablet communication terminal 100 as shown in FIG. 11 or FIG. You can move and select items. In FIG. 6, the item a is selected by default, but by tapping the right side surface 103 of the tablet communication terminal 100, the thumbnail display moves from right to left, and by tapping once, the item b is tapped twice. Thus, item c is selected.
On the contrary, as shown in FIG. 12, by tapping the left side surface 104 of the tablet communication terminal 100, the thumbnail display moves from left to right, and by tapping once, the item z is tapped twice and the item y is tapped. Selected.
