Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An opening/closing detection unit detects a transition of an electronic device from an open state to a closed state or from the closed state to the open state. An electrical-power control unit sets an operation mode of an application processing unit that executes an application. When a transition from the open state to the closed state is detected while a hold switch is in an OFF state, the electrical-power control unit switches an operation mode of an application processing unit from a normal mode to a sleep mode. On the other hand, when a transition from the open state to the closed state is detected while the hold switch is in an ON state, the electrical-power control unit does not switch the operation mode of the application processing unit from the normal mode to the sleep mode.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An electronic device provided with an upper housing and a lower housing, wherein the upper housing and the lower housing are slidably connected via a slide mechanism such that an operation key provided on a front face of the lower housing can be in at least two states: an open state where the operation key is exposed to the outside; and a closed state where the operation key is not exposed to the outside, comprising: an opening/closing detection unit c…
