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
a selection unit configured to select operation information of an apparatus present in the directional space, from position information of at least one control target apparatus assigned to operation information in the storage unit.

Abstract
A mobile device includes a position sensing unit, a remote control information obtainment unit, and a storage unit. Position information obtained by the position sensing unit is stored in the storage unit in association with remote control information. The mobile device further includes a directional space obtainment unit and an apparatus specification unit. The mobile device recognizes a direction pointed by a user using the mobile device, and enables operation of a terminal apparatus existing in the pointing direction.
