The terminal has right and left heart pulsation sensors (21D, 21G) for obtaining a biometric signal representing a carrier of the terminal. An analyzing and processing module (26) analyzes variation and/or evolution of the biometric signal to deliver a control signal. A control module (27) controls a function of the terminal and/or a receiver apparatus according to the control signal. Identification and authentication units identify and authenticate the carrier by analyzing the biometric signal and are constituted by a signature determination module (23) and a recognition module (24). An independent claim is also included for a receiver apparatus comprising radiofrequency communication units.
