Abstract:
1. A mobile terminal including a first body and a second body, the bodies being movable relative to each other, the mobile terminal comprising: a display unit provided on the first body and configured to display an image; a touch panel provided on the second body, and configured to display an image and to detect contact made thereon; a detection unit configured to detect switching of a state of the mobile terminal from an open state to a closed state, the open state being a state in which the touch panel is viewable, the closed state being a state in which the display unit is viewable and at least part of the touch panel is covered by the first body; a determination unit configured to determine, when the detection unit detects the switching of the state, whether the touch panel has detected contact made thereon between the most recent switching from the closed state to the open state and the detected switching from the open state to the closed state; a control unit configured to perform continuous displaying when the determination unit determines positively, the continuous displaying being processing for causing the display unit to display an image that is the same as an image that has been displayed on the touch panel prior to the detection; and a touch sensor configured to detect contact made on a surface of the display unit, wherein when the touch panel has detected the contact made thereon, the control unit performs the continuous displaying only when the touch sensor has detected no contact made thereon within a time period between when the touch panel has detected the contact and when the detection unit detects the switching from the open state to the closed state.
