Abstract:
1. A mobile apparatus comprising: first case; a second case: a coupling unit for coupling said first and second cases in a foldable manner, wherein said mobile apparatus attains a folded state and an oven state by said first and second cases pivoting about said coupling unit, and said first case includes a main display unit located at an inner side when said mobile apparatus is in said folded state, and an image pick-up unit located at an outer side when said mobile apparatus is in said folded state, wherein said image pick-up unit is capable of picking up image data in both said folded and open states; said mobile apparatus further comprising a detector for detecting whether said mobile apparatus is in said folded state or said open state; a first memory for storing said image data picked up through said image pick-up unit; and a display control unit for controlling display operations of said main display unit, wherein said display control unit to store rotating 180° the image picked up by said image pick-up unit in said folded state to image picked up by said image pick-up unit in said open state and store said rotated image, wherein said first case further includes a sub display unit located at an outer side when said mobile apparatus is in said folded state, said display control unit controls display operations of said main and sub display units based on the detected state by said detector, and causes said sub display unit to display the image corresponding to said image data stored in said first memory such that a top of the image in an upright orientation is located at an upper side of said sub display unit adjacent to said coupling unit in said folded state and causes said main display unit to display the image such that a bottom of the image in an upright orientation is located at an lower side of said main display unit adjacent to said coupling unit in said open state, wherein said image pick-up unit located at a position also allowing visual confirmation of said sub display unit when said mobile apparatus is in folded state.
