A distance information acquisition section acquires distance information representing the distance between a terminal apparatus and an electronic instrument through short-range wireless communication with the electronic instrument. A direction information acquisition section acquires first direction information representing the direction toward the electronic instrument with respect to the terminal apparatus through the short-range wireless communication with the electronic instrument. A correction section carries out the process of correcting the first direction information based on the distance information in such a way that the first direction information indicates the direction toward a target position on the electronic instrument. A display control section causes a display section to display the direction toward the target position based on the corrected first direction information.

Terminal apparatus, display control method, and program for displaying direction toward target position

A distance information acquisition section acquires distance information representing the distance between a terminal apparatus and an electronic instrument through short-range wireless communication with the electronic instrument. A direction information acquisition section acquires first direction information representing the direction toward the electronic instrument with respect to the terminal apparatus through the short-range wireless communication with the electronic instrument. When the distance to the electronic instrument based on the distance information is greater than or equal to a threshold, the display controller causes a display to display a first screen containing a direction display that displays the direction toward the electronic instrument with respect to the terminal apparatus based on the acquired first direction information. On the other hand, when the distance to the electronic instrument is not greater than or equal to the threshold, the display controller causes the display to display a second screen different from the first screen.
