ABSTRACT:
The present invention aims to achieve that geomagnetism can be sensed in high precision while eliminating an adverse influence by magnetic noise with respect to a geomagnetic sensor provided in a housing, and correct azimuth information can be acquired.A portable terminal apparatus according to the present invention is arranged by that both a first housing (11) and a second housing (12) are coupled to each other by way of a hinge portion (13) under pivotable condition, a geomagnetic sensor (33) is provided on a circuit board (32) in the second housing (12), and also, a speaker (19) is provided on the side of a rear surface thereof. Both this geomagnetic sensor (33) and a speaker (19) corresponding to a component for generating magnetic noise which gives an adverse influence with respect to the geomagnetic sensor (33) are provided in the vicinity of each other within the same second housing (12), and both the members are arranged on the same plane. In this structure, since a magnetic force line (35) which is caused by magnetic noise generated from a magnet (19a) of the speaker (19) is intersected with respect to the geomagnetic sensor (33) at a right angle, and thus, a horizontal direction component thereof is not produced, the geomagnetic sensor (33) can correctly sense the geomagnetism without being adversely influenced by the magnetic noise.
