Abstract

La présente invention concerne un terminal mobile pourvu d'une unité d'affichage flexible, ainsi que le procédé de commande du terminal mobile. Le terminal mobile pourvu d'une unité d'affichage flexible sur laquelle des informations d'écran devant être sorties varient en fonction des caractéristiques de courbure de l'unité d'affichage flexible comprend : une unité de mémoire dans laquelle un ordre de sortie d'une pluralité d'informations d'écran est stocké ; l'unité d'affichage flexible conçue pour afficher au moins une partie de la pluralité d'informations d'écran en fonction de l'ordre de sortie ; une unité de détection conçue pour détecter la posture de l'unité d'affichage flexible par rapport au sens de la gravité ; et une unité de commande conçue pour déterminer les informations d'écran devant être sorties sur l'unité d'affichage flexible sur la base de la position d'une partie d'extrémité recourbée vers l'extérieur entre les deux parties d'extrémité de l'unité d'affichage flexible. La position de la partie d'extrémité recourbée vers l'extérieur entre les deux parties d'extrémité de l'unité d'affichage flexible est déterminée par rapport à la posture de l'unité d'affichage flexible. L'unité de commande affiche sur l'unité d'affichage flexible les informations d'écran dont l'ordre de sortie est tel que les informations d'écran viennent avant ladite au moins une partie de la pluralité d'informations d'écran par rapport à ladite au moins une partie des informations d'écran lorsque la partie d'extrémité recourbée vers l'extérieur de l'unité d'affichage flexible est dans une première position, dans un état dans lequel ladite au moins une partie de la pluralité d'informations d'écran est sortie sur l'unité d'affichage flexible, et affiche sur l'unité d'affichage flexible les informations d'écran dont l'ordre de sortie est tel que les informations d'écran viennent après ladite au moins une partie de la pluralité d'informations d'écran par rapport à ladite au moins une partie des informations d'écran lorsque la partie d'extrémité recourbée vers l'extérieur de l'unité d'affichage flexible est dans une seconde position différente de la première.
