Such memory 184 includes the concept of a generally known hard disk, card type memory (e.g., SD or XD memory), flash memory, RAM, ROM, and the like.

The broadcast receiving module 185 receives broadcast signals transmitted through satellite or terrestrial waves, converts the received broadcast signals into broadcast data formats that can be output to the sound output unit 114 and the display unit 113, and outputs the broadcast data formats to the controller 180. In addition, the broadcast receiving module 185 receives additional data (e.g., EPG (Electric Program Guide), channel list, etc.) related to broadcasting. The broadcast data and the additional data converted by the broadcast receiving module 185 may be stored in the memory 184. [

The power supply unit 170 receives external power and internal power under the control of the controller 180, and supplies power necessary for operation of the respective components.

The above-described watch mobile terminal is not limited to the configuration and method of the embodiments described above, but all or some of the embodiments may be selectively combined so that various modifications may be made to the embodiments.
