MOBILE TERMINAL

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mobile terminal capable of executing various functions by catching a temporal change in an azimuth or a tilt in which a main body is directed. SOLUTION: When the azimuth or the tilt in which a mobile phone 1 is directed is changed, the mobile phone 1 captures an output value of an earth magnetism sensor 90 by each unit time, extracts a feature, stores it to a RAM 60 as motion data, and assigns a function to be executed. When the azimuth or the tilt in which the mobile phone 1 is directed is changed, the mobile phone 1 extracts a feature from time series data of the output of the earth magnetism sensor 90, compares the feature with that of the motion data whereby the function is assigned and executes the assigned function when they are coincident with each other.
