Abstract
Description
図1は、第1実施形態の携帯端末の外観構成を示す外観図である。図1に示されるように、携帯端末(情報端末)1は、タッチパネルディスプレイ4を備える通信端末であって、このタッチパネルディスプレイ4をタッチ操作することにより、携帯端末1に備わるカメラ(撮像装置)の操作、及びアプリケーション内におけるオブジェクト(アイコン:icon)に対応する機能などを実行することができる。携帯端末1は、タッチパネルディスプレイ4の裏側(背後)にクリック機構(押下検出機構)10を備えている。ユーザは、タッチパネルディスプレイ4を押下することによりクリック操作を行うことができる。
次に、図7及び図8を主に参照しながら、第2実施形態に係る携帯端末(情報端末)101について説明する。図7は、第2実施形態に係る携帯端末の機能構成を示すブロック図、図8は、図7に示す携帯端末におけるカメラの制御方法の流れを示したフローチャートである。なお、第1実施形態に係る携帯端末1と同一の作用を有する部分には同一の符号を付して、重複する説明を省略する。
