Abstract:
1. A mobile terminal device comprising: a communication processor that conducts wireless communication processing; an operation unit that receives an instruction input from a user for selecting a communication contact; a displacement detector that detects a magnitude of displacement in orientation of the mobile terminal device; and a controller that causes the communication processor to conduct the wireless communication with the selected communication contact according to the detected magnitude of displacement, wherein the controller causes the communication processor to conduct the wireless communication with the selected communication contact based on whether the magnitude of displacement detected by the displacement detector is within a predetermined range of given magnitudes of displacement, and when the magnitude of displacement detected by the displacement detector is not within the predetermined range of given magnitudes of displacement, the displacement detector determines that the user has not brought the mobile terminal device up to an ear of the user, and the controller causes the communication processor to automatically conduct the wireless communication as an electronic message.
