A radio reception system is combined with a computer system. The radio reception system includes a radio receiver that is integrated with a personal computer system. The radio receiver is configured to receive analog FM signals and linked data transmitted according to at least one of the RDS and MBS standards. The data serves as a data trigger to provide the user with a prompt on the computer system. The prompt may be utilized to access information related to the primary radio broadcast and prev...

If the radio portable information terminal detects the current battery capacity level and the receiving electrical field level and finds that these levels are sufficient to perform data transmission/reception, the radio portable information terminal formulates a data transmission/reception possible signal to send the data transmission/reception possible signal via a base station to the information network center, which then checks to see that the radio portable information terminal is in the tra...

Information about avatar characteristics for a user are stored in a removable memory card (115), for example in a SIM card for the GSM system. The information regarding the avatar can then be moved from one access terminal to another. A virtual world, which the avatar is designed to enter, can then be accessed from many different access terminals by means of inserting the SIM card and entering a personal identity number (PIN) code. Thus by adding such a memory function to a removable memory card...
