A portable information communication terminal can easily be combined with an existing industrial system. Article discount information is broadcast from a central computer of the headquarters of a convenience store via a broadcasting system, and received by a portable information communication terminal. An image of the article and a discount price represented by the article discount information are displayed on a display screen of a display monitor. When the user purchases the displayed image, the user selects the desired article displayed on the display screen of a display monitor by a manual controller. A bar code corresponding to the selected article is displayed on a display screen of the portable information communication terminal. The user takes the portable information communication terminal with the bar code displayed on the display screen to the convenience store. In the convenience store, a bar-code reader reads a discount code displayed on the display screen, and the user can purchase the article at a discount price.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a portable information communication terminal and an entertainment system which are easily capable of being combined with industrial systems.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a portable information communication terminal and an entertainment system which allow a portable information communication terminal capable of receiving wireless signals and an entertainment apparatus to complement each other to create a new function.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a portable information communication terminal, an entertainment system, and a storage medium which are capable of increasing the convenience of a portable information communication terminal and an entertainment apparatus.
According to an aspect of the present invention, a portable information communication terminal has a wireless signal receiver for receiving basic data relative to a particular code, and a code data converter for converting the basic data received by the wireless signal receiver into an optically readable code-related data.
A display controller displays an optically readable particular code represented by the code-related data on the display screen of a display unit.
The display unit of the portable information communication terminal can display the optically readable particular code corresponding to the received wireless signal.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a portable information communication terminal has a wireless signal receiver for receiving basic data relative to a particular code and related-information data including information related to the basic data, and a code data converter for converting the basic data received by the wireless signal receiver into an optically readable code-related data.
The display controller displays an optically readable particular code represented by the code-related data and/or the related information data on the display screen of a display unit
