Problems solved by technology

However, since the direction of the finger touching the screen of the touch panel of the mobile terminal device when the mobile terminal device is held with the right hand is different from that of the case where the mobile terminal device is held with the left hand, according to the screen displayed on the mobile terminal device content, there is a possibility that the finger touching the screen covers part of the content displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal device, so that the user cannot correctly determine the content displayed on the screen

Embodiment Construction

[0049] The present invention is configured such that, in a mobile terminal device operated using a touch panel, touch sensors are installed on the top side, bottom side, left side, and right side of the mobile terminal device to determine which of the left hand and right hand holds the mobile terminal The device accurately determines the upward direction of the mobile terminal device, and displays a picture on the touch panel in a manner suitable for holding. Therefore, the touch panel can be easily operated while holding the mobile terminal device, thereby further improving the usability of the mobile terminal device. Some exemplary embodiments of the mobile terminal device according to the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the mobile terminal device described in the following exemplary embodiments may be, for example, a mobile phone.

Abstract

To improve the operability of a touch panel that can be operated in a mobile terminal device, by causing the touch panel to display a screen in the form appropriate to the way of holding the device. Touch sensors provided on upper, lower, right and left side surfaces of the mobile terminal device detect the contact state of a hand gripping the mobile terminal device. A holding form determining unit then determines how the mobile terminal device is held on the basis of the number and size of contact areas where the touch sensors have been detecting the contact state. Furthermore, a display screen generating unit generates a display screen according to the holding form determined by the holding form determining unit and causes a display unit of the touch panel to display the display screen.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to mobile terminal devices and the like, such as mobile phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs), and more particularly, to a mobile terminal device having a touch panel for operation and a display method for the touch panel in the mobile terminal device. Background technique [0002] Recently, the number of mobile terminal devices such as mobile phones having a touch panel as a user interface has been increasing. Such a touch panel of a mobile terminal is extremely convenient because the mobile terminal can be operated intuitively by simply touching the screen. However, since users hold mobile terminal devices in different ways, the usability of the touchpad also changes in various ways. For example, depending on the way of holding the mobile terminal device, there is a possibility that the user cannot operate the touch panel as the user intended because the screen is blocked by the finger touching the screen, and w...
