Abstract

La présente invention concerne un terminal mobile ayant un écran tactile pouvant être amené à défiler. Le terminal mobile comprend : un écran tactile configuré pour défiler le long d'une surface circonférentielle externe d'un arbre rotatif ; un corps ayant l'arbre rotatif dans ce dernier et configuré pour enrouler et recevoir l'écran tactile ; une unité d'entraînement configurée pour faire tourner l'arbre rotatif ; et une unité de commande pour régler une partie de l'écran tactile exposée à l'extérieur du corps comme zone d'affichage dans laquelle des informations visuelles sont délivrées, l'unité de commande commandant l'entraînement de l'unité d'entraînement, en réponse à une entrée d'utilisateur, de telle sorte qu'au moins une partie de l'écran tactile est retirée du corps ou pressée dans le corps par rotation de l'arbre rotatif, et commandant l'écran tactile de façon à délivrer des informations d'affichage différentes sur la zone d'affichage selon la taille de la zone d'affichage lorsque la zone d'affichage est changée par rotation de l'arbre rotatif.
