Abstract
A mobile storage device includes first and second memory regions in one or more semiconductor memory devices, a positioning system configured to generate positional information indicating a position of the mobile storage device, and a controller. The controller is configured to allow access to the first memory region and prohibit access to the second memory region when the positional information indicates that the position of the mobile storage device is within a first area, and prohibit access to the first memory region and allow access to the second memory region when the positional information indicates that the position of the memory storage device is within a second area, which is different from and does not overlap with the first area.
