Mobile terminal and locked state cancelling method

摘要

A mobile phone apparatus is provided with an accelerometer for detecting an attitude and a display for displaying a moving object. Furthermore, a key locked state is set to the mobile phone apparatus for the purpose of preventing an operating error in the key. When an arbitrary key is operated in the key locked state, the moving object and a pocket object representing a predetermined area, etc. are displayed on the display. Then, when the moving object changes in position in correspondence with the change of the attitude of the mobile phone apparatus and is put into the pocket object, the key locked state is cancelled.

主权项

1. A mobile terminal capable of setting a locked state, the mobile terminal comprising:
a detector operable to detect one or more changes in an angle of the mobile terminal; a canceller operable to cancel the locked state based on the detected one or more changes in the angle of the mobile terminal; and a displayer operable to display a movable object in a display area on a display of the mobile terminal, and change a position of the movable object relative to the display area in response to the detected one or more changes in the angle of the mobile terminal; wherein canceling the locked state based on the detected one or more changes in the angle of the mobile terminal comprises determining if one or more positions of the movable object relative to the display area, resulting from the detected one or more changes in the angle of the mobile terminal, satisfy a predetermined cancellation condition, and, if it is determined that the one or more positions of the movable object satisfy the predetermined cancellation condition, canceling the locked state.
