Abstract:
1. A terminal apparatus comprising: a display device; a first sensor configured to detect a proximity state of being in proximity to an object different from the terminal apparatus; a second sensor configured to detect vibrations; and a processor, wherein the processor determines whether or not a first detection value acquired from the first sensor indicates that the terminal apparatus is in the proximity state, turns off a backlight of the display device when it is determined that the first detection value indicates that the terminal apparatus is in the proximity state, and activates the second sensor and acquires, when it is determined that the first detection value does not indicate that the terminal apparatus is in the proximity state, a second detection value from the second sensor, determines whether or not the second detection value, which has been acquired, indicates that the terminal apparatus is vibrating, and turns off, when it is determined that the second detection value does not indicate that the terminal apparatus is vibrating, the backlight of the display device.
