First Claim
1. A communication system for transmitting at least one of the program, the data, and a combination of the program and data from a host facility to a communication terminal device, said communication terminal device comprising:
- an input device for inputting instructions to execute the program or to process the data, receiving means for receiving one of the program, the data, and a combination of the program and data as sent out from said host facility, storage means for storing the program, the data, or a combination of the program and data received by said receiving means, executing means for executing the program stored in said storage means or executing data processing by using the data stored in said storage means, in accordance with instructions from said input device, clock means for keeping a predetermined time period after said receiving means receives the transmission, and interference means for interfering with execution of said executing means when said clock means counts said predetermined time period; and
said host facility comprising;
storage means for storing at least one of the program, the data, and a combination of the program and data together with the duration data indicative of the predetermined time period to be counted by said clock means, and sending out means for sending out at least one of the program, the data, and a combination of the program and data together with the duration data stored in said storage means to said communication terminal device.

Abstract
A communication system is proposed for transmitting at least one of the data, the program, and a combination of them from a host facility to a communicator such as a communication terminal device. In this communication system, the data or the program becomes unable to be used when a predetermined time has elapsed after it is transmitted from the host facility to the communicator. This communication system is provided with the function of giving a warning before the use of the transmission becomes unable and the function of resuming the use in accordance with the user'"'"'s instruction even after the use becomes unable.
