  • Publication number: 20060205339
    Abstract: A communication terminal is provided that enables one communication terminal to share with another communication terminal information relating to broadcast data such as broadcast content and broadcast usage restriction information received by the aforementioned one communication terminal. In a portable terminal 101 that is a communication terminal, a broadcast data receiving section 201 receives broadcast data to which is attached usage restriction information that restricts the use of broadcast data, a content management section 210 manages transferability/non-transferability of the broadcast data to another communication terminal based on the usage restriction information, and a content transmitting/receiving section 221 transmits the broadcast data to another communication terminal in accordance with management by the content management section 210.
