    •  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
  • Hereafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
    • Embodiment
  • FIG. 1 is an exterior view of a mobile terminal 100 according to an embodiment. The mobile terminal 100 is a mobile terminal, such as, for example, a smartphone, a tablet PC, or a game terminal. In FIG. 1, a smartphone is illustrated as the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment. Hereafter, the mobile terminal 100 according to the embodiment will be described by taking the smartphone as an example. However, the present invention can be applied to mobile terminals other than the smartphone.
  • In the mobile terminal 100, a display device 120 and a manipulation button 130 are provided in a casing 110 taking a longitudinally long rectangular shape as illustrated in FIG. 1. The casing 110 is formed of a material such as resin or metal. The display device 120 takes a longitudinally long rectangular shape. The display device 120 is the so-called touch panel obtained by combining a display device such as a liquid crystal panel with a location input device such as a touch pad. The display device 120 takes a longitudinally long rectangular shape. Icons and so forth required to manipulate the mobile terminal 100 are displayed on the display device 120. A user can manipulate the mobile terminal 100 by touching the display device 120. The manipulation button 130 accepts a manipulation input of the user such as ON/OFF of a power supply.
  • FIG. 2 is an internal configuration diagram of the mobile terminal 100. Configurations required to function as a smartphone, such as an antenna 101, a transmission/reception unit 102, a control unit 103, a storage unit 104, a detection unit 105, a speaker 106, a microphone 107, an image pickup unit 108, and a power supply 109 are accommodated in the casing 110 in the mobile terminal 100.
  • The transmission/reception unit 102 inverse-codes a signal (hereafter referred to as data) received by the antenna 101, as occasion demands and then outputs a result to the control unit 103. Furthermore, the transmission/reception unit 102 encodes data input from the control unit 103, as occasion demands and then transmits a result via the antenna 101.
  • The control unit 103 is a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The control unit 103 controls the entire mobile terminal 100 in response to an instruction signal input from the manipulation button 130 and the display device 120. Furthermore, the control unit 103 stores data received by the transmission/reception unit 102 via the antenna 101, into the storage unit 104. In addition, in a case where data received by the transmission/reception unit 102 via the antenna 101 is voice data, the control unit 103 outputs the voice to the speaker 106. Changeover of the manipulation mode of the mobile terminal 100 conducted by the control unit 103 will be described later.
  • The storage unit 104 is a rewritable storage device, such as, for example, an SSD (Solid State Drive) or an HDD (Hard Disk Drive). The storage unit 104 executes data storage or data reading in response to an instruction from the control unit 103. Furthermore, a program required for operation of the mobile terminal 100 and preinstalled or downloaded game programs are stored in the storage unit 104. Furthermore, manipulation modes (first and second manipulation modes) of the mobile terminal 100 are stored in the storage unit 104.
    • (First Manipulation Mode)
  • The first manipulation mode is a mode for causing a game to be manipulated automatically or semi-automatically (hereafter automatically and semi-automatically is referred to collectively as “automatically”). The first manipulation mode is a mode used in a case where one hand is full in a train, for example, to have a bag or hold on to a strap. In a case where the mobile terminal 100 is longitudinally oriented, the mobile terminal 100 is set to the first manipulation mode. FIG. 3A is a diagram illustrating a display example in the first mode, i.e., in a case where the mobile terminal 100 is longitudinally oriented. For reference, the vertical direction and the horizontal direction are illustrated in FIG. 3A.
  • In the first manipulation mode, the user can specify a location on the display device 120 by touching (tapping) the display device 120 and play a game by conducting a manipulation of flicking the display device 120. For example, in a case where an RPG (Role Playing Game) is played, a first character in the game moves as far as a location specified by the user, and performs an action automatically depending upon a situation. Specifically, in a case where there is a second character in the location specified by the user, the first character starts conversation or a battle with the second character automatically. Even after the battle is started, the battle is continued automatically. In addition, in a case where there is an item (including a hidden item) in the specified location, the item is acquired automatically. Furthermore, in a case where the display device 120 is flicked, a viewpoint of a game (orientation of a camera in a virtual space) is changed.
    • (Second Manipulation Mode)
  • A second manipulation mode is a mode for causing a game to be manipulated manually. The second manipulation mode is a mode used in a case where both hands can be used. In a case where the mobile terminal 100 is laterally oriented, the mobile terminal 100 is set to the second manipulation mode. FIG. 3B is a diagram illustrating a display example in the second mode, i.e., in a case where the mobile terminal 100 is laterally oriented. For reference, the vertical direction and the horizontal direction are illustrated in FIG. 3B.
  • In the second manipulation mode, the user can manipulate a manipulation key displayed on the display device 120 with both hands and play a game. For example, in a case where an RPG is played, the user can move a character in the game by operating the cross key or the like with a left hand, and can cause the character to execute an action depending upon a viewpoint of the game (orientation of a camera in a virtual space) and a situation with a right hand. For example, in a case where an enemy character is displayed, the user moves the character to a location of the enemy character with the left hand, and conducts manipulation such as conversation or start of a battle while changing a viewpoint of the game with the right hand.
  • The detection unit 105 is, for example, an acceleration sensor or a gyroscope. The detection unit 105 measures to what a degree the mobile terminal 100 is inclined from the vertical direction or the horizontal direction, on the basis of a displacement of a physical quantity (an acceleration or an angular velocity) at the time when the mobile terminal 100 moves. The detection unit 105 detects the orientation of the mobile terminal 100 on the basis of the measured inclination and outputs the orientation to the control unit 103. It is also possible that the detection unit 105 measures only the inclination and the control unit 103 detects the orientation of the mobile terminal 100 on the basis of the inclination measured by the detection unit 105.
  • The speaker 106 converts an input signal to a voice and outputs the voice. The microphone 107 converts input sound (including a voice) to an electric signal and outputs the electric signal.
  • The image pickup unit 108 is a solid state image sensor such as, for example, a COMS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) image sensor or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor. The image pickup unit 108 converts incident light to an electric signal and outputs the electric signal.
  • The power supply 109 supplies power to electronic parts housed in the casing 110 (such as, for example, the transmission/reception unit 102, the control unit 103, the storage unit 104, the detection unit 105, the speaker 106, the microphone 107, and the image pickup unit 108).
  • FIG. 4 is a flow chart diagram illustrating operation of the mobile terminal 100. Hereafter, operation of the mobile terminal 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4.
  • The detection unit 105 detects whether the mobile terminal 100 is longitudinally oriented or laterally oriented on the basis of an inclination of the mobile terminal 100 (step S101). The control unit 103 changes over between the first manipulation mode and the second manipulation mode depending upon the orientation of the mobile terminal 100 detected by the detection unit 105 (step S102).
  • Specifically, in a case where the detected orientation of the mobile terminal 100 is longitudinal orientation (the state illustrated in FIG. 3A), the control unit 103 sets the manipulation mode of the mobile terminal 100 to the first manipulation mode. In a case where the detected orientation of the mobile terminal 100 is lateral orientation (the state illustrated in FIG. 3B), the control unit 103 sets the manipulation mode of the mobile terminal 100 to the second manipulation mode.
  • Then, the control unit 103 determines whether the operation of the mobile terminal 100 has finished (step S103). Unless the operation of the mobile terminal 100 has finished (No in step S103), the control unit 103 returns to the operation in step S101. In a case where the operation of the mobile terminal 100 has finished (Yes in step S103), the control unit 103 finishes the operation.
  • As described heretofore, the mobile terminal 100 according to the present embodiment detects the orientation of the mobile terminal 100. In the case where the detected orientation of the mobile terminal 100 is longitudinal orientation, the mobile terminal 100 changes over the mode to the first manipulation mode in which the game is caused to manipulated automatically or semi-automatically. In the case where the detected orientation of the mobile terminal 100 is lateral orientation, the mobile terminal 100 changes over the mode to the second manipulation mode in which the game is caused to be manipulated manually. Even in a situation in which one hand cannot be used, therefore, it is possible to enjoy a game, resulting in improved convenience to the user.
