Abstract

L'invention porte sur un terminal portable (1) qui comprend : une unité de communication sans fil à courte portée (101) qui réalise une communication sans fil à courte portée avec des étiquettes d'électronique grand public (201, 202) équipant un appareil externe (2) ; une unité de détermination (107) qui détermine l'état de communication entre l'unité de communication sans fil à courte portée (101) et les étiquettes d'électronique grand public (201, 202), sur la base du résultat de réponse en provenance des étiquettes d'électronique grand public (201, 202) qui ont réalisé une communication sans fil à courte portée avec l'unité de communication sans fil à courte portée (101) ; une unité d'affichage (110) ; et une unité de génération d'interface utilisateur (IU) (109) qui affiche un écran d'affichage correspondant à l'état de communication déterminé sur l'unité d'affichage. En fonction de la proximité du terminal portable (1) vis-à-vis de l'appareil externe (2), l'unité de détermination (107) détermine un premier état de communication, un deuxième état de communication différent du premier état de communication, ou un troisième état de communication différent des premier et deuxième états de communication, à titre d'état de communication. L'unité de génération d'IU (109) affiche, sur l'unité d'affichage (110), un écran d'affichage correspondant à l'état de communication respectif, parmi les premier à troisième états de communication, déterminé par l'unité de détermination (107).
