- the resizing controller 161 can receive information on the current display mode of the portable electronic device 100 from the mode condition detector 140 and can adjust the display screen accordingly. For example, when the default display of the portable electronic device changes from the portrait mode to the landscape mode, display unit 130 can be reconfigured to present the resized display screen in the landscape mode. Similarly, when, for example, the default display of the portable electronic device changes from the landscape mode to the portrait mode, the display unit 130 can be reconfigured to present the resized display screen in the portrait mode.
- the resizing controller 161 can also resize the characters presented in the text messaging window. For example, when the portable electronic device 100 operates in the portrait mode and the text messaging function is activated, a text message can be presented, by the resizing controller 161 , at a predetermined character size. When, for example, the portable electronic device operates in the landscape mode and the text messaging function is activated, a text message can be presented, by the resizing controller 161 , at another predetermined character size. If, while entering a message, portable electronic device 100 changes from the portrait mode to the landscape mode, the resizing controller 161 can change the character size predetermined for the portrait mode to the character size predetermined for the landscape mode. Similarly, if a posture of portable electronic device 100 changes from the landscape mode to the portrait mode, the resizing controller 161 can change the character size predetermined for the landscape mode to the character size predetermined for the portrait mode.
- the resizing controller 161 may also adjust a length of a character string per line and a number of lines per screen. For example, in the portrait mode, a phrase “Good morning, it's nice to meet you” may be presented on separate contiguous lines (i.e., a first line of the screen displaying “Good morning,” and a second line of the screen displaying “it's nice to meet you”) with a character size of, for example, 9.
- the resizing controller 161 can, in the landscape mode, present the phrase “Good morning, it's nice to meet you” in a single line (i.e., a single line of the screen displaying “Good morning, it's nice to meet you” with a character size of, for example, 11.
- the resizing controller 161 can adjust the character size and positioning of line breaks according to a display mode of portable electronic device 100 .
- character sizes are not limited to 9 or 11 for the portrait or landscape mode, respectively, and may be any size.
- the character size in the portrait mode is smaller than the character size in the landscape mode, but it can be any combinations.
- the key map manager 163 can load a key map stored in storage unit 150 according to the current display mode.
- the key map manager 163 can receive, from the mode condition detector 140 , a mode status signal providing information on the current display mode.
- the 3 ⁇ 4 key map 151 may be predetermined for the portrait mode and the qwerty key map 153 or the 5 ⁇ 4 key map 155 may be predetermined for the landscape mode.
- the key map manager 163 can load the 3 ⁇ 4 key map 151 such that the 3 ⁇ 4 key map can be displayed on the display screen.
- the key map manager 163 can load the qwerty key map 153 or the 5 ⁇ 4 key map 155 such that the virtual qwerty keypad or 5 ⁇ 4 key map can be displayed on the display screen.
