Wearable terminal and method for controlling the same

A wearable terminal includes voice data generation unit a voice data generation unit configured to generate audio data, a sensing unit configured to sense a motion of a user's upper limb in a first axis direction perpendicular to a plane defined by a vertically downward oriented direction of the upper limb and a direction of movement of the user, and to generate motion data concerning the motion, a determination unit configured to determine, based on the motion data, whether or not the user is going to perform remote control of a home electric appliance, and a data processing unit configured to process the audio data. The data processing unit includes a transmission data generation unit configured to generate transmission data corresponding to the audio data if the determination unit determines that the user is going to perform the remote control, and a transmission unit configured to transmit the transmission data to a network.
