1. A mobile terminal device comprising:

  • postural change detecting means for detecting specific changes on a posture of an apparatus body, the specific changes comprising at least rotation of the apparatus body in yaw and pitch directions;

    the postural change detecting means comprises a sampling means for sampling, after the data to be transferred are selected in the transferred data selecting process, angles by which a posture of an apparatus body is displaced from a reference position from outputs of acceleration sensors fixed in the apparatus body every predetermined period of time, the acceleration sensors comprising acceleration sensors for detecting rotations of the apparatus body in yaw and pitch directions;

    a display for displaying visual information;

    transferred data candidate display means for displaying candidates of data to be transferred on the display;

    transferred data selecting means for selecting data to be transferred from the candidates displayed by the transferred data candidate display means,wherein the transfer of data comprises transmitting the selected data to a receiving mobile device via a radio channel; and

    data transfer starting means for starting transfer of the data when the postural change detecting means detects any of the specific changes in a state where the data to be transferred are selected by the transferred data selecting means, the data transfer starting means further comprising notification sound outputting means for outputting sound of flowing water as a notification sound for notifying a predetermined data transfer state while the data are transferred,wherein;

    the postural change detecting means detects the specific change when the apparatus body is rotated on a plane in a range of angle while the display displays visual information regardless of the posture;

    the range comprises a first posture that the apparatus body is rotated on the plane by 180 degrees from a second posture that a user operates the mobile terminal device with seeing the display, and information displayed on the display is out of sight of the user when the apparatus body has the first posture.
