1. A wireless communication terminal comprising:

  • a position sensing unit configured to obtain position information of the wireless communication terminal;

    an apparatus information obtainment unit configured to obtain, from a control target apparatus which is an apparatus to be controlled by the wireless communication terminal, apparatus information for identifying the control target apparatus, by near field communication (NFC);

    a request generation unit configured to generate a request for operation information of the control target apparatus based on the apparatus information;

    an external communication unit configured to transmit the request to the control target apparatus or a server that holds the operation information, and receive the operation information;

    a storage unit configured to store the received operation information in association with the position information obtained when performing the NFC with the control target apparatus;

    an operation information transmission unit configured to transmit the operation information to the control target apparatus;

    a direction sensing unit configured to sense direction information of a direction to which the wireless communication terminal is pointed;

    a directional space obtainment unit configured to calculate a directional space of the wireless communication terminal, based on the position information obtained by the position sensing unit and the direction information obtained by the direction sensing unit; and
