Abstract: The present invention provides a portable television receiver which comprises an antenna 4 for receiving waves of television broadcast, a transmitting-receiving circuit 12 for detecting the reception condition of the waves of television broadcast before recording, a display 21, a speaker 20, and a main control circuit 14. The main control circuit 14 judges whether the recording is permitted with reference to the detected result of the reception condition of waves of television broadcast. When the recording is not permitted, the message that the recording is not permitted is shown on the display 21, and the speaker 20 produces sound.

Abstract: A portable wireless terminal device which has a main body including a first case provided with a plurality of manual keys, a second case provided with a display having a rectangular screen of a predetermined aspect ratio, and a connecting mechanism for interconnecting the two cases. The connecting mechanism includes a pivot mechanism for rotating the second case relative to the first case along a plane parallel to the screen. For wireless communication, the display is activated in a screen position wherein the screen is elongated vertically. For receiving a television broadcast, the display is activated in a screen position wherein the screen is elongated horizontally.

Abstract: A mobile terminal recording system includes a mobile terminal and a cradle. The mobile terminal creates video recording reservation information of a desired TV program, and sends the created video recording reservation information to the cradle. The cradle that has received the video recording reservation information performs a video recording reservation of the TV program on the basis of the video recording reservation information, and starts to record the TV program when a broadcast start time has come. After completion of recording, when the mobile terminal is set to the cradle, the record data of the TV program recorded in the cradle is transferred form the cradle to the mobile phone. The transferred record data is reproduced by the mobile terminal.
