Abstract

A mobile phone includes: a first housing having a first display part; a second housing having a second display part; acquisition section for obtaining image data and position information associated with the image data; position information acquisition section for obtaining current position information concerning a current position; a guide information acquisition section for generating a guide map showing a route from the current position to a spot that is indicated by the position information associated with the image data, based on the position information associated with the image data and the current position information; and a display control section for controlling display contents in the first display part and the second display part. The display control section causes the first display part to display the guide map and causes the second display part to display an image based on the image data.

Claims (18)

1. A portable electronic device comprising:

a first housing including a first display part;

a second housing including a second display part;

acquisition section for obtaining image data and position information associated with said image data;

position information acquisition section for obtaining current position information concerning a current position;

guide information acquisition section for obtaining a guide map showing a route from said current position to a spot that is indicated by said position information associated with said image data, based on said position information associated with said image data and said current position information;

display control section for controlling display contents in said first display part and said second display part; and

a determination section for determining whether or not the display content in said second display part is changeable,

wherein said display control section causes said first display part to display said guide map and causes said second display part to display an image based on said image data, and

said guide information acquisition section does not obtain said guide map in a case where said determination section determines that the display content in said second display part is unchangeable.

2. The portable electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a mechanism for coupling said first housing and said second housing to each other in such a manner that said first housing and said second housing are displaceable between a first state in which said second display part is visually observable and a second state in which said second display part is not visually observable; and

state detection section for detecting said first state and said second state,

wherein said display control section causes said first display part to display said guide map, and in a case where said state detection section detects said first state, causes said second display part to display an image based on said image data.

3. The portable electronic device according to claim 2 , further comprising a first touch panel provided on a display surface of said first display part,

wherein said display control section interchanges the display content in said first display part and the display content in said second display part in accordance with a predetermined operation being performed on said first touch panel.

4. The portable electronic device according to claim 2 , further comprising a second touch panel provided on a display surface of said second display part,

wherein said display control section interchanges the display content in said first display part and the display content in said second display part in accordance with a predetermined operation being performed on said second touch panel.
