摘要

A method and an apparatus for changing display orientations on a monitor of a portable computer are provided to vary display orientations on the portable computer monitor after a user physically rotates the portable computer. Physical rotation of a portable computer is detected(210). It is determined whether a new physical orientation of the portable computer is not changed within a predetermined time in response to the detection of physical rotation of the portable computer(230). If the new physical orientation of the portable computer is changed within the predetermined time, the portable computer continuously detects physical rotation. If the new physical orientation of the portable computer is not changed within the predetermined time, display orientations on a monitor of the portable computer is adjusted(240).
