Abstract: When a mobile communications terminal receives message data, operations by a message data processing section that processes message data are prohibited. Operations by the message data processing section may be prohibited simply when message data is received by the mobile communications terminal, or operations by the message data processing section may be prohibited when specific information, such as information including certain characters, time, sender address and the like, included in the message data matches preset information. Thus, there can be provided a message data processing method for a mobile communications terminal in which even if a user is away from the mobile communications terminal, the viewing of the contents of message data by others can be prevented, and in which security functions are enhanced so that others cannot view the contents of message data that is sent to the mobile communications terminal at times not expected by the user.

Abstract: In a case of being judged that a compressed mode is applied in a mobile terminal, if it is judged that reception quality during data communication is favorable, gap intervals are not created by passing through a processing of gap interval creation. Further, if the data communication over the HS-DSCH is performed, the data communication over the HS-DSCH is continued. This prevents degradation of data transmission rate over a channel for high speed data transmission service, in the presence of a mobile terminal in a favorable reception quality area.
