1. A laser marking system comprising:
a laser marker including:
a laser beam emitter configured to emit a laser beam;
a first device communicator configured to perform a first wireless communication with a beam receiving device;
a second device communicator configured to perform a second wireless communication with a portable terminal device; and
a device control circuit configured, in response to the first device communicator receiving or having received a first positional signal, to transmit a second positional signal to the portable terminal device via the second device communicator;
the beam receiving device including:
a laser beam receiver configured to receive the laser beam;
a transmitter configured to perform the first wireless communication with the laser marker; and
a beam receiving control circuit configured to:
generate the first positional signal in accordance with a receiving position of the laser beam in the laser beam receiver; and
transmit the first positional signal to the laser marker via the transmitter; and
the portable terminal device including:
a terminal display;
a speaker;
a vibrator;
a terminal communicator configured to perform the second wireless communication with the laser marker; and
a terminal control circuit configured to, in response to the terminal communicator receiving or having received the second positional signal:
(i) cause the display to show the receiving position of the laser beam;
(ii) cause the speaker to output a sound in accordance with the receiving position of the laser beam; and
(iii) cause the vibrator to output a vibration in accordance with the receiving position of the laser beam.
