Portable communication terminal, electronic apparatus, and method of controlling electronic apparatus by using portable communication terminal

A method of controlling and electronic apparatus, the method being performed by a portable communication terminal, the method comprising:

• by using the portable communication terminal, initiating communication when the electronic apparatus comes close within a predetermined range, then activating an application program for controlling the electronic apparatus through an inclination of a base of the portable communication terminal, and notifying a user of one or more inclination directions in which the case is to be inclined with respect to a reference direction;
• and
• when the base is inclined in one of the one or more inclination directions and returned to the reference direction, transmitting, by using the portable communication terminal, a control instruction to the electronic apparatus, the control instruction being an instruction for the electronic apparatus, the control instruction being associated in advance with the inclination direction.

An electronic apparatus that is controlled by receiving a control instruction from a portable communication terminal, the electronic apparatus comprising:

• an apparatus communication unit that, when a base of the portable communication terminal is inclined with respect to a predetermined reference direction of the base of the portable communication terminal and returned to the predetermined reference direction, receives the control instruction from the portable communication terminal, the control instruction being associated in advance with a direction of the inclination;
• and
• an apparatus controller that performs predetermined processing in accordance with the control instruction.

A method of controlling an electronic apparatus by receiving a control instruction from a portable communication terminal, the method comprising:

• by using the electronic apparatus, initiating communication when the portable communication terminal is brought close within a predetermined range, then transmitting and instruction to the portable communication terminal, the instruction being an instruction to activate an application program for controlling the electronic apparatus through an inclination of a base of the portable communication terminal, and notifying a user of one or more inclination directions in which the base is to be inclined with respect to a reference direction;
• and
• when the base is inclined in one of the one or more inclination directions and returned to the reference direction, receiving the control instruction from the portable communication terminal, the control instruction being associated in advance with the inclination direction, and performing predetermined processing in accordance with the control instruction.
