Provided is a mobile telephone which can easily be found when called in case the mobile telephone is placed on a desk or a floor. An image display plane of a display (5) is arranged on the front surface of a casing (1) of the mobile telephone. A camera (7) is arranged on the rear surface of the casing (1). The mobile telephone includes: a proximity sensor (8), an acceleration sensor (16), and a control circuit (12). The control circuit (12) has: a means for detecting when the casing (1) is placed on an object according to an output value of the proximity sensor (8) and an output value of the acceleration sensor (16); a means for subjecting an image signal obtained from the camera (7) before detection of that the casing (1) is placed on the object, to a color conversion process which converts a color of each pixel into a complementary color in accordance with a predetermined conversion rule; and a means for outputting a color-converted image signal to the display (5) and displaying the color-converted image on the image display surface of the display (5) when a called state is detected after detection of that the casing (1) is placed on the object. |

| Claim: |
1. A mobile telephone comprising a portable casing including an image display surface of an image display apparatus arranged on one side thereof and an image photographing apparatus arranged on the other side thereof, comprising: a state detecting unit that detects that the casing has been placed on an object; and a call/mail reception image display processing unit that, when an incoming call or mail is received after it is detected that the casing has been placed on the object, displays on the image display surface of the image display apparatus an image contrasting to an image photographed by the image photographing apparatus before it is detected that the casing has been placed on the object. |
| Claim: |
2. A mobile telephone comprising a portable casing including an image display surface of an image display apparatus arranged on a front surface thereof and an image photographing apparatus arranged on a rear surface thereof, comprising: a state detecting unit that detects that the casing has been placed on an object; a color conversion processing unit that performs a color conversion process for converting a color of each of a part or all pixels forming an image signal which is obtained from the image photographing apparatus before it is determined that the casing has been placed on the object in accordance with a predetermined conversion rule on the image signal; an image signal storing unit that stores one or a plurality of color-converted image signals obtained from the color conversion processing unit; and a call/mail reception image display processing unit that, when an incoming call or mail is received after it is detected that the casing has been placed on the object, outputs one of the one or plurality of color-converted image signals stored in the image signal storing unit to the image display apparatus to display a color-converted image on the image display surface of the image display apparatus. |
| Claim: |
3. A mobile telephone comprising a portable casing including an image display surface of an image display apparatus arranged on a front surface thereof and an image photographing apparatus arranged on a rear surface thereof, comprising: a state detecting unit that detects that the casing is becoming closer to an object and that the casing has been placed on the object; a photographing control unit that operates the image photographing apparatus at least once after it is detected that the casing is becoming closer to the object and before it is detected that the casing has been placed on the object; a color conversion processing unit that performs a color conversion process for converting a color of each of a part or all pixels forming an image signal obtained from the image photographing apparatus into a complementary color which is located on the opposite side in a color wheel or into a color which is located on the generally opposite side in the color wheel in accordance with one or a plurality of predetermined conversion rules on the image signal; an image signal storing unit that stores one or a plurality of color-converted image signals obtained from the color conversion processing unit; and a call/mail reception image display processing unit that, when an incoming call or mail is received after it is detected that the casing has been placed on the object, outputs one of the one or plurality of color-converted image signals stored in the image signal storing unit to the image display apparatus to display a color-converted image on the image display surface of the image display apparatus. |
| Claim: |
4. The mobile telephone according to claim 2, wherein after a call or mail is received, the call/mail reception image display processing unit repeats operation of displaying the color-converted image on the image display surface of the image display apparatus until a user operation is performed. |
| Claim: |
5. The mobile telephone according to claim 3, wherein after a call or mail is received, the call/mail reception image display processing unit repeats operation of displaying the color-converted image on the image display surface of the image display apparatus until a user operation is performed. |
| Claim: |
6. The mobile telephone according to claim 3, wherein the photographing control unit operates the image pickup apparatus repeatedly after it is detected that the casing is becoming closer to the object and before it is detected that the casing has been placed on the object, and the color conversion processing unit performs the color conversion process on the image signal obtained in the last photographing operation. |
| Claim: |
7. The mobile telephone according to claim 2, comprising a photographed image display processing unit that, when it is detected that the casing has been placed on the object, outputs the image signal obtained from the image pickup apparatus to the image display apparatus to display the original photographed image on the image display surface of the image display apparatus. |
| Claim: |
8. The mobile telephone according to claim 3, comprising a photographed image display processing unit that, when it is detected that the casing has been placed on the object, outputs the image signal obtained from the image pickup apparatus to the image display apparatus to display the original photographed image on the image display surface of the image display apparatus. |
| Claim: |
9. The mobile telephone according to claim 7, wherein the call/mail reception image display processing unit comprises: a selecting unit that selects an image in accordance with a telephone number or address of transmission source from plurality of kinds of images including one or a plurality of color-converted images and the original photographed image; and a display processing unit that displays the image selected by the selecting unit on the image display surface of the image display apparatus. |
| Claim: |
10. The mobile telephone according to claim 8, wherein the call/mail reception image display processing unit comprises: a selecting unit that selects an image in accordance with a telephone number or address of transmission source from a plurality of kinds of images including one or a plurality of color-converted images and the original photographed image; and a display processing unit that displays the image selected by the selecting unit on the image display surface of the image display apparatus. |
| Claim: |
11. The mobile telephone according to claim 3, wherein the state detecting unit comprises an acceleration sensor for detecting acceleration of the casing, and a proximity sensor arranged on the rear surface of the casing for detecting a distance from the object, and detects that the casing is becoming closer to the object based on an output value of the proximity sensor, and that the casing has been placed on the object based on an output value of the acceleration sensor and an output value of the proximity sensor. |
