If the predetermined information is not detected (S106: NO), the individual mail screen 401 of the received mail is displayed on both the display surfaces 14 and 24 (S107).

  When the predetermined information is detected from the received mail (S106: YES), the CPU 300 identifies an application related to the predetermined information based on the predetermined information database and executes the application (S108).

  For example, an image data file “Image.bmp” and a music data file “Music.mid” may be attached to the received mail. In this case, information indicating the type of the attached file such as the file type or extension is included in the data information of the mail additional information or the accompanying information of the attached file. For this reason, first, the data information of the additional mail information or the accompanying information of the attached file is collated with the predetermined information in the predetermined information database. As a result, the types of image and music attachments are detected, and the applications “viewer” and “player” corresponding to the types of image and music attachments are read from the memory 310 and executed.

  In addition, the mail text may include telephone number information “090-1234-5678” and URL information “http://aaa.com”. In this regard, as in the type of the attached file, the CPU 300 specifies and executes the applications “address book” and “browser” related to the telephone number and URL information.

  Then, the data of the application execution screen 410 is stored in the memory 310. Note that the data on the application execution screen 410 is deleted from the memory 310 when the application is terminated.

  When an application related to the predetermined information is executed in step S108, the CPU 300 next displays the individual mail screen 401 on the first display surface 14 as shown in FIG. 410 is displayed on the second display surface 24 (S109). Here, the viewer reproduction screen 411 as the first application execution screen 410 is displayed on the second display surface 24, and the user can view the image of the attached file “Image” of the image data.

  Further, on the second display surface 24, a tab 420 indicating all the applications being executed is displayed together with the viewer reproduction screen 411. In this example, four tabs 420 indicating four execution applications of a viewer, a player, an address book, and a browser are displayed on the second display surface 24. This tab 420 allows the user to know that four applications are being executed and the type of application being executed. Further, when the viewer playback screen 411 is displayed, the color of the tab 420 of the viewer is reversed from the color of the other tabs 420. For this reason, the user knows which application execution screen 410 of the four execution applications is displayed.

  When the address book tab 420 is touched by the user from among the four tabs 420, the CPU 300 determines that the selection operation of the tab 420 has been performed (S110: YES). The CPU 300 reads the data on the address book application execution screen 410 corresponding to the selected tab 420 from the memory 310, and displays an address book list screen 412 instead of the viewer playback screen 411 as shown in FIG. It displays on the 2nd display surface 24 (S111). At this time, the viewer tab 420 becomes a standard color, and the color of the address book tab 420 is inverted. In addition, the viewer playback screen 411 is not displayed, but the data of the viewer playback screen 411 remains stored in the memory 310. Therefore, when the viewer tab 420 is touched again, the viewer playback screen 411 is quickly displayed.

  An end button 421 is attached to the tab 420. When the end button 421 is touched by the user on the address book tab 420, the CPU 300 determines that the address book end button 421 has been operated (S112: YES). As a result, the address book application is terminated (S113), the address book list screen 412 and the tab 420 shown in FIG. 7B disappear, and the data on the address book application execution screen 410 is erased from the memory 310.

  If there is an execution application other than the address book (S114: YES), the application ranked in order to be displayed next to the address book, here, the application execution screen 410 data of the browser is read from the memory 310. As shown in FIG. 8, the web page screen 413 is displayed on the second display surface 24 (S115).

  On the other hand, if all the execution applications other than the address book are also terminated and there is no execution application related to mail (S114: NO), the individual mail screen 401 is displayed on both display surfaces 14, 24 as shown in FIG. (S116). Thereby, a lot of information on the individual mail screen 401 can be displayed.

In some cases, the user may switch from the two-screen state to the one-screen state, but even if the user enters the one-screen state, the application executed in the two-screen state is not terminated.
Will remain executed.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the user performs an operation for displaying mail, the predetermined information included in the mail is searched, and the application related to the detected predetermined information is executed. Thereby, the user can save the trouble of searching for the predetermined information included in the individual mail screen 401, selecting and executing the application related to the predetermined information, and is excellent in operability.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the individual mail screen 401 is displayed on the first display surface 14 and the application execution screen 410 is displayed on the second display surface 24 in the two-screen state. Therefore, the user can see the contents of the individual mail screen 401 and the contents related to the individual mail screen 401 in parallel, and can easily understand the contents of the mail by connecting them.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the tab 420 indicating all the applications being executed is displayed on the second display surface 24, so that the user can know the number and types of the applications being executed. Moreover, it is possible to easily grasp what kind of information is included in the individual mail screen 401 from the type of the execution application.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the displayed application execution screen 410 can be switched simply by touching the tab 420. In addition, when an end button 421 attached to the tab 420 is touched, the execution application corresponding to the tab 420 can be ended, so that an unnecessary application can be closed.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, even if the two-screen state is switched to the one-screen state, the execution application related to the mail is not terminated, and the data of the application execution screen 410 is not erased from the memory 310. Therefore, when the transition from the one-screen state to the two-screen state is performed again thereafter, the application execution screen 410 is promptly displayed on the second display surface 24 without executing the application.
