Herein are disclosed a cable television system, mobile communication
terminal, a relay apparatus, a center apparatus, and a method of
providing a cable television service using the system, which enable a
user operating a CATV mobile terminal (6) to receive a CATV service
regardless of the service area of the CATV station where the user is
located. When a vehicle (5) having a CATV mobile terminal (6) mounted
thereon moves into a service area of a CATV station (3, 4), the CATV
mobile terminal (6) is operated to transmit a log-in request to the CATV
station (3, 4). The CATV station (3, 4) is operated to inquire about the
user to the subscriber station (2), and the subscriber station (2) is
operated to judge whether or not the user is authentic. Subscriber
station (2) is operated to deliver common contents to the CATV mobile
terminal (6) through the CATV station (3, 4) when it is judged that the
user is authentic.
