Abstract
A portable communication terminal transmits a control instruction for an electronic apparatus. The portable communication terminal includes a terminal communication unit, an inclination detecting unit, a terminal storage unit, and a terminal controller. The terminal communication unit communicates with the electronic apparatus. The inclination detecting unit detects an inclination of a base of the portable communication terminal with respect to a predetermined reference direction and a direction of the inclination. The terminal storage unit stores the control instruction associated in advance with the inclination direction. The terminal controller controls the terminal communication unit, the inclination detecting unit, and the terminal storage unit. When the inclination detecting unit detects that the base is inclined with respect to the predetermined reference direction, the terminal controller causes the terminal communication unit to transmit the control instruction to the electronic apparatus. The control instruction is associated in advance with the inclination direction.
