Abstract
A portable communication terminal which can establish communications between portable communication terminals by Bluetooth or the like by a simple operation are provided. An initiator terminal activates a short-distance radio communication section to make a Bluetooth function active and sends a request to start communications using a Bluetooth communication function to an acceptor terminal through a general communications network such as a telephone network or the like. The acceptor terminal makes the Bluetooth communication function active when it responds to the communication-starting request and sends a Bluetooth connection request to the initiator terminal by using the Bluetooth communication function. The initiator terminal responds to the Bluetooth connection request whereby a Bluetooth connecting session is established.
