Mobile terminal and function control method thereof

摘要

The present invention provides a mobile terminal and a function control method thereof that can appropriately set or release an operation mode in accordance with a situation of a user. A mobile terminal includes an opening/closing sensor 18 that detects whether the mobile terminal is in an opened state or a closed state, an acceleration sensor 11 that detects acceleration and a posture of the mobile terminal, and a control unit 12 that restricts an execution of a specific function in accordance with the detection result of the opening/closing sensor 18 and releases a restriction of at least a portion of the restricted specific function in accordance with the detection result of the acceleration sensor 11.

主权项

1. A wireless mobile terminal that takes at least two forms of a utilization state and a non-utilization state, comprising: a restricting unit that restricts an execution of a specific function when detecting a closed state and movement of the mobile terminal; a state detecting unit, having an acceleration sensor, that detects whether the mobile terminal is in the utilization state in accordance with the detection result of the acceleration sensor and determines whether a possessor of the mobile terminal is moving; a posture detecting unit that detects an inclination angle of the mobile terminal and determines whether the mobile terminal is held at an operation enabled posture based on a pre-set margin of an angle; and a restriction releasing unit that releases a restriction of at least a portion of the specific function restricted by the restricting unit when detecting an opened state of the mobile terminal, and releases a lesser portion of the specific function when detecting a closed state, in accordance with the detection results of the acceleration sensor and the posture detecting unit.
