The communication unit 12 includes a transmission / reception antenna 121 and a radio circuit 122. The transmitting / receiving antenna 121 is built in the side of the main body case 11 where the display unit 14 is provided.
The wireless circuit 122 modulates the voice information, ID, browsing request information of the web page data, etc., processed by the control circuit 17 and transmits it to a base station (not shown) by the antenna 121 in order to perform wireless communication using radio waves. .
Further, the radio circuit 122 demodulates various information such as page data and audio information transmitted by radio from the base station and received by the antenna 121 and outputs the demodulated information to the control circuit 17.

The voice processing unit 13 includes a voice processing circuit 131, and is connected to a microphone 132 that performs voice input for a call function and a speaker 133 that performs voice output.
The sound processing circuit 131 performs predetermined processing on the sound input from the microphone 132 and supplies the processed signal to the control circuit 17.
The audio processing circuit 131 performs predetermined processing on the audio information supplied from the control circuit 17 and outputs the audio information from the speaker 133.
As shown in FIG. 1, the microphone 132 is disposed below the operation unit 15 of the case body 11, and the speaker 133 is disposed above the display unit 14.

As shown in FIG. 1, the display unit 14 has a display device such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) arranged on the upper side of the case body 11, and includes a telephone number, various messages, and text input for a call function. Display notes including data.
The display unit 14 is used as a guide display line for displaying, for example, the type of mode, the strength of radio waves, the remaining battery level, and the like for the top row.
The display unit 14 has two types of modes, a normal mode and a power saving mode. The normal mode is a mode for displaying a standard screen, and the power saving mode is a mode in which the backlight of the display unit 14 is turned off when the operation unit 15 is not operated for a predetermined time in the state of the standard screen.

As shown in FIG. 1B, the operation unit 15 has a plurality of numeric keys 15c corresponding to an end (end call) / power key 15a, a start (call) key 15b, numbers, and the like on the lower side of the case body 11. , An up / down / left / right key 15d and a center key 15e.
In addition, the operation unit 15 has side keys 15 f as input means on the side surface of the mobile phone 1. As will be described later, the control circuit 17 controls the validity / invalidity of the function linked to the opening / closing operation of the mobile phone 1 by pressing the side key 15f.
As shown in FIG. 1A, the side key 15f is exposed and set so that the user can operate it with the cellular phone 1 closed.

The memory 16 as the storage means includes, for example, an EEPROM, and stores a control program for sending and receiving calls and mails, an Internet browser, message data, an address book in which names and telephone numbers are registered.
In particular, in the present embodiment, a cancel flag (described later) that is set according to the operation of the side key 15f is stored.

  The movable mechanism 18 supports a part of the main body case 11 (side including the display unit 14) and the other part of the main body case 11 (side including the operation unit 15) so as to be horizontally rotatable. Thus, for example, the display unit side of the main body case 11 can be horizontally rotated in one direction from the closed state as shown in FIG. It becomes.

The operation detection unit 19 is a detection unit that detects an opening operation (operation from FIG. 1A to FIG. 1B) of the movable mechanism unit 18 of the mobile phone 1, and outputs a signal according to the detection result to the control circuit. 17 is supplied. For detecting the operation of the movable mechanism 18, a sensor or a mechanical switch mechanism using magnetism or infrared rays is applied.
Note that, for example, when a mechanical switch is applied as the motion detection unit 19, the position where the switch is turned on from the closed state (FIG. 1A) to the open state (FIG. 1B). It goes without saying that you can design freely.
In the example shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the motion detector 19 is configured to detect the motion of the horizontal movable mechanism, but is not limited to the horizontal movable mechanism. When the mobile phone 1 has another movable mechanism, for example, a movable mechanism (not shown) that performs a sliding operation (slide type) or a folding operation (folder type), the mobile phone 1 is designed according to the movable method.

The control circuit 17 is mainly composed of a microcomputer and controls the entire mobile phone 1. For example, the control circuit 17 controls transmission / reception of various types of information in the communication unit 12, processes audio information for the audio processing unit 13, controls display of information on the display unit 14, and processes according to input information of the operation unit 15. And access control according to the processing to the memory 16 is performed.
In addition, the control circuit 17 performs a predetermined operation in response to a signal supplied from the operation detection unit 19 that detects the opening operation of the mobile phone 1. For example, when the display unit 14 displays a list of incoming histories and one incoming history data is selected by the user, when the detection signal for the opening operation is supplied from the operation detector 19, the control circuit 17 selects The radio circuit 122 is controlled so as to call a destination telephone number corresponding to the received call history data.

Here, the call operation linked to the opening operation of the mobile phone 1 described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
In FIG. 3, when a predetermined key of the operation unit 15 is pressed (operated) by the user (step ST10), the control circuit 17 takes out the data of the incoming call history list from the memory 16 and displays it on the display unit 14 ( Step ST20).
Then, one incoming call history data is selected from the data of the incoming call history list displayed by the user (step ST30), and when the user opens the mobile phone 1 (step ST40), the operation detector 19 is opened. The state is detected, and a detection signal corresponding to the open state is supplied to the control circuit 17.
When the control circuit 17 determines from the detection signal supplied from the operation detection unit 19 that the mobile phone 1 is in the open state, the control circuit 17 controls the communication unit 12 to make a call based on the selected incoming history data. (Step ST50).
Here, the case where the motion detection unit 19 can detect both the open state and the closed state is illustrated, but the present invention can be implemented only by detecting only one of them. For example, if only the switch that outputs an ON signal only in the closed state is provided as the operation detection unit 19, the control circuit 17 detects that the output from the switch has changed to an OFF signal. For example, this is sufficient for motion detection.

As described above with reference to FIG. 3, the control circuit 17 performs a predetermined operation in accordance with the signal detected from the operation detection unit 19 that detects the opening operation of the mobile phone 1.
In FIG. 3, the call processing is described as an example of the function linked to the opening operation. However, the control circuit 17 is not limited to the call processing, and can be configured to perform various processing. For example, when an e-mail address list is displayed and one mail address is selected and an opening operation is performed, a screen for editing a new e-mail is displayed at the selected e-mail address. You may make it do.
Further, when an opening operation is performed by selecting an item to be edited while the schedule list is displayed, an editing screen corresponding to the selected item may be displayed.
Further, when the mobile phone 1 is in the closed state and the received mail is displayed on the display unit 14 and the user selects one of them, when the operation detecting unit 19 detects the opening operation, the selected mail The control circuit 17 may control to shift to a mail reply creation screen addressed to the sender.
In contrast to the above description, the control circuit 17 may be configured to execute a predetermined operation when the mobile phone 1 shifts from the open state to the closed state. For example, when the control circuit 17 detects a closing operation from the operation detection unit 19, the control circuit 17 can be configured to transmit a mail created in the open state.

Having described each component of the mobile phone 1, the operation of the mobile phone 1 in the present embodiment will be described next with reference to FIG.
The operation of the mobile phone 1 in the present embodiment has been described above by operating the side key 15f that is exposed and set so that the mobile phone 1 can be operated in the closed state, as shown in FIG. A feature is that execution of a predetermined function linked to the opening operation is canceled.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an operation in which execution of a predetermined function (call processing in FIG. 4) linked to the opening operation is canceled when the opening operation is performed while pressing the side key 15f. A part indicated by (A) is added to FIG. 3 showing the calling process linked to the opening operation described above.

In FIG. 4, when a predetermined key of the operation unit 15 is pressed (operated) by the user (step ST10), the control circuit 17 retrieves the incoming call history list data from the memory 16 and displays it on the display unit 14 (step ST10). ST20).
Then, one incoming call history data is selected from the data of the incoming call history list displayed by the user (step ST30), and the user opens the mobile phone 1 while pressing (operating) the side key 15f (step ST30). In step ST42), the control circuit 17 stops (cancels) execution of a predetermined function (calling process) linked to the opening operation.
That is, the control circuit 17 checks both the detection signal supplied by the operation detection unit 19 and the signal corresponding to the depression of the side key 15f, and determines whether or not a predetermined function linked to the opening operation can be performed.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an operation in which execution of a predetermined function (call processing in FIG. 5) linked to the opening operation is canceled when the opening operation is performed with the side key 15f being pressed once. The part shown by (B) is added to FIG. 3 showing the call processing linked to the opening operation already described.

In FIG. 5, when a predetermined key on the operation unit 15 is pressed (operated) by the user (step ST10), the control circuit 17 retrieves the data of the incoming call history list from the memory 16 and displays it on the display unit 14 (step ST10). ST20).
Then, one incoming call history data is selected from the data of the incoming call history list displayed by the user (step ST30), and when the side key 15f is pressed once (step ST31), a cancel flag is set (step ST31). Step ST32).
The cancel flag is binary flag data (1: cancel valid, 0: cancel invalid) set in the memory 16, and is set to “1” when the side key 15f is pressed. Even if the hand is released, it remains set to “1”.
Further, when the user opens the mobile phone 1 (step ST40), the operation detection unit 19 detects the open state and supplies a detection signal corresponding to the open state to the control circuit 17.
When the detection signal corresponding to the open state is supplied, the control circuit 17 checks the cancel flag on the memory 16, and if the cancel flag is set to “1”, the control circuit 17 performs a predetermined operation linked to the open operation. The execution of the function (call processing) is canceled (cancelled).

As described above, the operation of stopping execution of the predetermined function linked to the opening operation has been described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. In this case, the display unit 14 executes the predetermined function linked to the opening operation. It can also be displayed whether or not.
FIG. 6 is a diagram exemplifying a screen that displays on the display unit 14 whether or not the execution of a predetermined function linked to the opening operation is performed. FIG. 6A illustrates a case where the screen is not displayed on the lower end portion of the screen, and FIG. The case where it displays on the lower end part of is shown.
As shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b), a predetermined function linked to the opening operation is provided on the top line of the screen used as a guide display line for displaying the strength of radio waves, the remaining battery level, and the like. When the execution of the function is valid, a symbol (circle) is displayed (screens SC10 and SC20), and when the execution of a predetermined function linked to the opening operation is canceled by operating the side key 15f, the symbol (circle) is displayed. Is not displayed (screens SC11 and SC21). This is convenient because the user can visually recognize whether or not the execution of the predetermined function in conjunction with the opening operation is effective.
Furthermore, in the case of FIG. 6 (b), since the execution of the predetermined function in conjunction with the opening operation is displayed in characters in one line at the bottom of the screen, the visibility is displayed. Is even better.

As described above with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, the mobile phone 1 has an operation detection unit that detects the opening operation of the movable mechanism unit 18 by connecting the two housings so as to be openable and closable via the movable mechanism unit 18. 19, a control circuit 17 that executes a predetermined process according to the detection result of the opening operation, and an operation unit 15 including a side key 15 f that is exposed so as to be operable when the mobile phone 1 is closed. 17 is configured such that when the opening operation is performed in a state where the side key 15f is pressed (operated), a predetermined process corresponding to the opening operation detection result is not executed.
Accordingly, the user does not need to perform complicated operations such as operating the operation unit 15 to call the rotation-linked operation setting in accordance with the use state and changing from the on state to the off state. Improves. That is, in the example of the incoming call history described above, when the user wants to make the calling process to the mobile phone 1, the user performs the opening operation as it is, and when the user does not want the calling process to be made to the mobile phone 1, the side key 15f is pressed. The operability is improved because the opening operation may be performed while pressing, or the opening operation may be performed after pressing the side key 15f once.

Note that, as the movable mechanism of the mobile phone 1 according to the present embodiment, the mechanism that performs the rotating operation in the horizontal direction is shown as an example, but a mechanism that performs the sliding operation (sliding operation) may be used. In this case, the transition between the closed state and the open state (sliding operation) is performed with the display unit 14 exposed, and the operation detection unit 19 detects the sliding.
It can also be implemented with a mobile phone that performs a folding operation as a movable mechanism. In this case, the display unit that is hidden from the outside in the closed state is exposed in the open state to the portion that is exposed when the mobile phone is closed. A sub display unit different from the main display unit may be provided, and the sub display unit may be displayed in the closed state.

Second Embodiment Hereinafter, a second embodiment will be described.
In the first embodiment, as described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, various modifications are made to the embodiment in which the execution of the predetermined function linked to the opening operation is stopped by operating the side key 15 f. The present embodiment is one of them.
In the present embodiment, execution of a predetermined function linked to the opening operation is stopped for a predetermined time after the side key 15f is pressed.

  FIG. 7 shows an operation in which execution of a predetermined function (calling process in FIG. 7) linked to the opening operation is canceled when the opening operation is performed for a predetermined time after the side key 15f is pressed. FIG. 3 is an exemplary flowchart, and a part indicated by (C) is added to FIG. 3 showing the calling process linked to the opening operation described above.

In FIG. 7, when a predetermined key of the operation unit 15 is pressed (operated) by the user (step ST10), the control circuit 17 retrieves the incoming call history list data from the memory 16 and displays it on the display unit 14 (step ST10). ST20).
When one incoming call history data is selected from the data of the incoming call history list displayed by the user (step ST30) and the side key 15f is pressed (step ST33), the control circuit 17 is built-in. The timer to be started is started (step ST34). Further, when the user opens the mobile phone 1 (step ST40), the operation detection unit 19 detects the open state and supplies a detection signal corresponding to the open state to the control circuit 17.
When the detection signal corresponding to the open state is supplied, the control circuit 17 checks the count value (timer count) of the timer, and if the timer count has not passed a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds). (Step ST43), the execution of a predetermined function (calling process) linked to the opening operation is stopped (cancelled), and the timer is reset (step ST51).
If the timer count has already passed the predetermined time in step ST43, a predetermined function (calling process) linked to the opening operation is executed (step ST50).

As described above, according to the mobile phone 1 in the present embodiment, the control circuit 17 cancels the execution of the predetermined function linked to the opening operation only for a predetermined time after the side key 15f is pressed. The control circuit 17 is configured to execute a predetermined function linked to the opening operation when a predetermined time has elapsed after the side key 15f is pressed.
Therefore, the user usually wants to execute a predetermined function linked to the opening operation, and only presses the side key 15f to cancel the execution of the predetermined function linked to the opening operation only when desired. In this case, after the side key 15f is pressed, regardless of whether or not the opening operation is performed, the normal operation state (an operation state that executes a predetermined function linked to the opening operation) is restored after a predetermined time has elapsed. There is no annoyance.
For example, after the side key 15f is pressed and the user's mind changes and the opening operation is not performed, if there is no time limit described above, the execution of the predetermined function is canceled by the next opening operation, Although there is a possibility that the operation is reversed, if there is a time limit described above, it is possible to return to a normal operation state intended by the user after a predetermined time has elapsed.

Note that, as the movable mechanism of the mobile phone 1 according to the present embodiment, the mechanism that performs the rotating operation in the horizontal direction is shown as an example, but a mechanism that performs the sliding operation (sliding operation) may be used. In this case, the transition between the closed state and the open state (sliding operation) is performed with the display unit 14 exposed, and the operation detection unit 19 detects the sliding.
It can also be implemented with a mobile phone that performs a folding operation as a movable mechanism. In this case, the display unit that is hidden from the outside in the closed state is exposed in the open state to the portion that is exposed when the mobile phone is closed. A sub display unit different from the main display unit may be provided, and the sub display unit may be displayed in the closed state.

Third Embodiment Hereinafter, a mobile phone 1 according to the present embodiment will be described.
In this embodiment, every time the side key 15f is pressed, the value of the cancel flag described in association with FIG. 5 in the first embodiment is switched.
That is, the cancel flag (1: cancel valid, 0: cancel invalid) whose initial value is “0” is set to “1” when pressed once, and returns to “0” when pressed further. The control circuit 17 is configured.

Accordingly, in steps ST31 and ST32 in FIG. 5, the cancel flag is sequentially set to “1” or “0” according to the number of times of pressing, and when the user performs an opening operation thereafter, according to the set cancel flag. It is determined whether or not the predetermined process can be executed (step ST41).
Therefore, for the user, by pressing the side key 15f, it is possible to determine ON / OFF of execution of a predetermined process linked to the opening operation, and the operability is high.

Note that, as the movable mechanism of the mobile phone 1 according to the present embodiment, the mechanism that performs the rotating operation in the horizontal direction is shown as an example, but a mechanism that performs the sliding operation (sliding operation) may be used. In this case, the transition between the closed state and the open state (sliding operation) is performed with the display unit 14 exposed, and the operation detection unit 19 detects the sliding.
It can also be implemented with a mobile phone that performs a folding operation as a movable mechanism. In this case, the display unit that is hidden from the outside in the closed state is exposed in the open state to the portion that is exposed when the mobile phone is closed. A sub display unit different from the main display unit may be provided, and the sub display unit may be displayed in the closed state.

Fourth Embodiment Hereinafter, a mobile phone 1 according to the present embodiment will be described.
The mobile phone 1 in the present embodiment has an interlocking process flag (1: interlocking process valid, 0: interlocking process invalid) as setting means on the memory 16. The interlocking process valid flag can be rewritten by the control circuit 17 in accordance with a predetermined key operation of the operation unit 15 by the user.

Then, the control circuit 17 controls whether or not to execute a predetermined process linked to the opening operation based on the linked process flag.
That is, when the interlocking process flag is set to “1”, the predetermined process is normally executed in conjunction with the opening operation, and the predetermined process is not executed only when the side key 15f is pressed. When the interlocking process flag is set to “0”, the predetermined process is not normally executed in conjunction with the opening operation, and only when the side key 15f is pressed, the predetermined process interlocking with the opening operation is performed. Execute the process.

Thus, the user can freely select whether or not to execute a predetermined process linked to the opening operation in the normal use state, that is, in a state where the side key 15f is not operated, by setting the linked process flag. Therefore, improvement in operability according to the usage mode of each user can be expected.
For example, if the user feels it troublesome to execute a predetermined function in conjunction with the opening operation, the predetermined processing is normally executed in conjunction with the opening operation by setting the interlock processing flag to “0”. Instead, only when the side key 15f is pressed, the predetermined process linked to the opening operation is executed, so that the operability desired by the user can be realized.
On the other hand, when it is convenient for the user to execute a predetermined function in conjunction with the opening operation, the interlocking processing flag is normally set to “1”, so that the predetermined function is usually interlocked with the opening operation. Only when the process is executed and the side key 15f is pressed, the predetermined process linked to the opening operation is not executed, so that the operability desired by the user can be realized.

It is the figure which illustrated an example of the external appearance of the mobile telephone which concerns on embodiment, (a) shows the external view of the closed state, (b) shows the external view of the open state, respectively. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a system configuration of a mobile phone according to an embodiment.
