COMMUNICATION TERMINAL
First Claim
1. A communication terminal comprising:
- a remote control section that transmits a control signal for controlling a control target device;
a video outputting section that outputs a video signal;
a detecting section that detects whether a video output cable for connecting the video outputting section and the control target device is connected or disconnected; and
a control section that starts the remote control section when the detecting section detects connection of the video output cable.

Abstract
A communication terminal wherein when a video is outputted from the communication terminal, a device, to which the video is outputted, can be operated in a simple manner from the communication terminal side. A communication terminal (100) comprises a cable connection/disconnection detecting part (101) that detects a connection or disconnection of a video output cable (150); a video signal output part (102) that converts moving images and still images in the communication terminal to video signals and outputs the video signals to the exterior; an infrared ray emitting part (103) that outputs a remote control signal; a liquid crystal display part (104) that displays GUIs; a control part (105) that controls the whole apparatus and the components of the apparatus; and a key entering part (106) for performing the operation of the communication terminal and that of the remote control function. When a video is outputted from the communication terminal (100) to a television receiver (200), the infrared ray emitting part (103) in the communication terminal is automatically activated upon a connection of the video output cable (150) to the communication terminal, whereby the power supply control, video input switching and sound level adjustment of the television receiver (200) can be performed by operating the communication terminal (100).
