A portable terminal comprising: a first detection unit that detects a change in a position of the portable terminal; a second detection unit that detects a change in a physical quantity representing a surrounding condition of the portable terminal; and a transition unit that causes the portable terminal to transition from a first state to a second state in which electricity consumption is smaller than that of the first state, upon a relation between a direction of the change detected by the first detection unit and a trend in the change in the physical quantity detected by the second detection unit satisfying a predetermined condition, wherein: the second detection unit detects a change in a relative position of an object with respect to an operation surface, the object being located in a direction in which the operation surface faces; and the transition unit performs a transition upon an opposite relation being satisfied between a component of the direction of the change detected by the first detection unit, the component being parallel to the operation surface of the portable terminal, and the trend in the change detected by the second detection unit.
