Information processing device and control method
An information processing device includes: a first chassis and a second chassis connected to be rotatable relative to each other; a foldable one display provided over the first chassis and the second chassis; a camera provided in the first chassis; a memory which stores at least a program; and a processor which executes the program. By executing the program stored in the memory, the processor performs: display mode switching processing to switch between a first display mode in which display is controlled by setting a screen area of the display as one display area, and a second display mode in which display is controlled by splitting the screen area of the display into two display areas of a first display area corresponding to the first chassis and a second display area corresponding to the second chassis, orientation detection processing to detect an orientation of the screen area.
1. An information processing device comprising:
a first chassis and a second chassis connected to be rotatable relative to each other;
a foldable one display provided over the first chassis and the second chassis;
a camera provided in the first chassis;
a memory which stores at least a program; and
a processor which executes the program stored in the memory,
wherein, by executing the program stored in the memory, the processor performs
display mode switching processing to switch between a first display mode in which display is controlled by setting a screen area of the display as one display area, and a second display mode in which display is controlled by splitting the screen area of the display into two display areas of a first display area corresponding to the first chassis and a second display area corresponding to the second chassis,
orientation detection processing to detect an orientation of the screen area,
display control processing to change a display orientation in the screen area according to the orientation of the screen area detected by the orientation detection processing, and
connection detection processing to detect mounting of an external keyboard on a surface of the second chassis with the display provided thereon, and
when the mounting of the keyboard is detected by the connection detection processing, the display mode is switched to a third display mode in which only the first display area is a display target in the second display mode and display is controlled in a preset display orientation by the display mode switching processing regardless of the orientation of the screen area.
2. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein
the preset display orientation is an orientation in which a side with the first chassis and the second chassis connected in the first display area is down.
3. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein
a display mode in which the first display area is set as a primary screen and the second display area is set as a secondary screen, and a display mode in which the first display area is set as the secondary screen and the second display area is set as the primary screen are included in the second display mode, and
in a case where the first display area is the secondary screen when the mounting of the keyboard is detected by the connection detection processing, the processor switches the first display area to the primary screen by the display mode switching processing.
4. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein
when the display orientation in the screen area is changed according to a change in the orientation of the screen area in such a state that the mounting of the keyboard is detected by the connection detection processing, the processor controls the display orientation to the preset display orientation after the change by the display control processing.
5. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein
in such a state that the mounting of the keyboard is detected by the connection detection processing, the processor controls, in the display control processing, the display orientation to the preset display orientation without performing control to change the display orientation in the screen area according to a change in the orientation of the screen area.
6. A control method for an information processing device including: a first chassis and a second chassis connected to be rotatable relative to each other; a foldable one display provided over the first chassis and the second chassis; a camera provided in the first chassis; a memory which stores at least a program; and a processor which executes the program stored in the memory, the control method comprising, by the processor executing the program stored in the memory:
switching between a first display mode in which display is controlled by setting a screen area of the display as one display area, and a second display mode in which display is controlled by splitting the screen area of the display into two display areas of a first display area corresponding to the first chassis and a second display area corresponding to the second chassis;
detecting an orientation of the screen area;
changing a display orientation in the screen area according to the detected orientation of the screen area;
detecting mounting of an external keyboard on a surface of the second chassis with the display provided thereon; and
when the mounting of the keyboard is detected, the display mode is switched to a third display mode in which only the first display area is a display target in the second display mode and display is controlled in a preset display orientation regardless of the orientation of the screen area.
