1. A method for controlling an external device (6-8, 10) having a wireless communication function, the method comprising executing an application on a mobile digital terminal (1), the application sequentially outputting digital content which changes over time by an output unit of the mobile digital terminal (1), said content containing a set of embedded or linked control commands (<cl>, <c2>), the mobile digital terminal sequentially executing the embedded or linked control commands when sequentially displaying the content in accordance with a flow control (1c) of the mobile digital terminal (1), and when at least one specific control command (<cl>, <c2>) from the set of control commands (<cl>, <c2>) is reached, a wireless communication module (1e) of the mobile digital terminal (1) wirelessly controlling the external device (6-8, 10) in order to implement a function of the external device (6-8, 10) in a substantially synchronous manner with the display of the content or a section of the content, the content comprising at least alphanumeric text (2a, 2a′), displaying the content as the alphanumeric text (2a, 2a′) as scrolling text (3, 3′) on a display (1a) of the terminal (1), said text (2a, 2a′) is generated from a file (2, 2′) that contains the control commands (<cl>, <c2>) in addition to the data to be displayed, and
displaying the scrolling text (3, 3′) horizontally and sequentially on the display (1a) of the terminal (1),
wherein said function of the external device (6-8, 10) is commanded automatically by the mobile digital terminal (1) in synchronism with sequentially displaying of the alphanumeric text (2a, 2a′) on the display (1a) of the terminal (1).
