Abstract: To provide a portable terminal having a macro function which poses a little burden on a user at the time of performance of a macro function. A macro generation section 160 generates a macro (information showing a round of operation procedures of a portable terminal), and stores the macro into a storage section 150. An event generation section 161 defines an event which is to serve as an impetus for performance of a macro and registers the event into the storage section 150. An event/macro association generation section 162 generates an association table for associating a registered event with a registered macro, and registers the association table into the storage section 150. When an event which is to serve as an impetus has arisen, a macro execution section 163 automatically performs processing of a portable terminal according to a round of operation procedures represented by a macro corresponding to the event, by reference to the association table.
