Abstract: A tuner receives service information SI for each of a plurality of channels included in a digital broadcasting signal at one carrier frequency. A service information extraction unit extracts and stores the received service information preset into a memory. The operator selects the service information stored in the memory and acquires a program. The tuner may have a function of automatically scanning the carrier frequency all over the receivable frequency bands and store it. The temporary service information having irregular broadcast time is stored in the memory through an operation of an operation input unit. When the temporary service information is not broadcast, such temporary service information is deleted from the memory.

Abstract: A mobile terminal which is usable by a plurality of users enables only a regular user to browse data for the regular user of the mobile terminal. An IC card 3 installed in a mobile terminal stores an encryption key 4 and a decryption key 5. Input data 10 is subjected to data encryption processing by using the encryption key 4 read from the IC card 3 to be transformed to encrypted data 14 and is then stored in a storage device 7. In addition, the encrypted data 14 read from the storage device 7 is subjected to decryption processing 6 in data decryption processing 200 by using the decryption key 5 to be decrypted to the original data. For different IC cards, different encryption keys 4 and different decryption keys 5 are assigned, and therefore, the data 14 will be subjected to the decryption processing 6 with a different decryption key 5. Consequently, the data 14 thus encrypted will not be decrypted correctly.
