  As described above, according to the present embodiment, after the portable information processing device 1 receives a call in the first state, the control unit 100 determines that the portable information processing device 1 is the second one by the user. When the state is changed, the call is made in the call mode (receiver call or speaker call) corresponding to the second state, so that the usability of the call is improved in the portable information processing apparatus having two screens. It becomes possible to make it. In other words, the user can make a call in a desired manner by changing the state of the portable information processing device.

  In the book state, the same processing as in the tent state may be performed. In this case, the control unit 100 receives a call in a state other than the book state and then changes to the book state by the user, and then remains stationary for a predetermined time in the book state (for example, several seconds), or the user When a predetermined action (for example, a slide bar is turned on) is performed, power may be received by speaker call. For example, when a videophone call (for example, Skype) is used, a videophone screen is displayed on the first touch display unit 11 to make a speaker call, and the second touch display unit 21 is looking for. (For example, a map, restaurant information, etc.) may be displayed (see FIG. 6).

  In this embodiment, a voice telephone is described as a telephone. However, the present invention is not limited to this and can be applied to a videophone or the like.

  In this embodiment, a smartphone is described as an example of a portable information processing device. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to all portable information processing devices that can make a call and have two screens. For example, it can be applied to a fablet, a tablet, or the like.
