Abstract
Abstract An input-output integrated type electronic apparatus is arranged to enable the orientation of a displayed picture to be changed according to the orientation of the apparatus in a used state, whereby the facility with which the apparatus is used is improved. To change the display orientation, the content of a displayed picture is changed on the basis of a detected orientation of the apparatus.
