1. A mobile device, comprising:
content storing means for storing content that can be used by the mobile device;
content updating means for updating the content stored by the content storing means;
user information storing means for storing, as an entire saved user data, user information for specifying a user of the mobile device;
input accepting means for accepting, as input user data, the user information for specifying the user of the mobile device when the user information is input; and
equivalence determining means for determining whether the entire saved user data is equal to the input user data,
wherein the user information storing means stores a single data as saved user data, and when a result of the equivalence determining means indicates that the entire saved user data and the input user data are not equal, the content updating means erases the content stored by the content storing means, requests that new content corresponding to the input user data be transmitted to the mobile communication network to which the mobile device belongs and stores the new content transmitted from the mobile communication network in the content storing means.
