Description

  The present invention relates to a privilege granting system by providing location information for granting a privilege to a person holding the mobile terminal when the location information is provided from a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone.

  Conventionally, person trip surveys have been conducted to understand and analyze the actual traffic conditions in urban areas. The person trip survey is to investigate what kind of person moved from where to where, for what purpose and moving means, and in which time zone. In this survey, questionnaires were distributed to people in the survey area, and each person was asked to fill out the questionnaire on the daily traffic behavior, etc., and then the questionnaire sheets were collected and analyzed. Yes.

However, the person trip survey requires a great deal of labor and time, so it cannot be done frequently, and has been conducted only once every few years. For this reason, there has been a demand for an apparatus that can acquire the same result as the person trip survey without using a questionnaire sheet or the like.
In order to calculate the OD traffic volume, which is the number of vehicles per unit time, that originates from a certain point on the road network (occurrence point (O)) and disappears at other points (disappearance point (D)). OD traffic volume calculation device is known. The OD traffic volume calculation device pays attention to each vehicle and manages the OD traffic volume for each trip that occurs from a certain point, passes through a certain route, and disappears at another point.

The OD traffic volume calculated by the OD traffic volume calculation device can express the traffic volume more strictly, and is used as an important parameter useful for traffic volume prediction and various examinations and evaluations.
However, since the OD traffic volume calculation device can only calculate the OD traffic volume of the automobile, an apparatus capable of calculating the OD traffic volume for each moving means such as railway, automobile, bicycle, and walking is desired. It was.

Therefore, the mobile unit identification device that acquires the location information from a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone, and based on the acquired location information, determines the mobile unit used by the person holding the mobile terminal, and the movement An OD traffic amount calculation device that calculates an OD traffic amount for each movement means based on the movement means determined by the means determination device can be considered. These devices can automatically achieve the same effect as the person trip survey without using a questionnaire or the like.

When the acquired position information is on the moving route, the moving means used by the holder of the mobile terminal can be specified according to the moving route. For example, if the location information is on a track, the owner of the mobile terminal can be identified as using the railway, and if the location information is on the road, the owner of the mobile device uses a car. Can be identified. By determining the moving means in consideration of this specification, the reliability of the information of the moving means to be determined can be improved.

The invention described in claim 5 is characterized in that the privilege granting device discounts the communication fee of the mobile terminal that provided the position information.
According to the present invention, as a privilege for the owner of the mobile terminal that provided the position information, the communication fee of the mobile terminal owner can be discounted. Therefore, the owner of the mobile terminal actively provides a lot of position information in order to apply the discount rate of communication. As a result, the privilege grant system based on the provision of position information can acquire a large amount of position information, so that traffic can be grasped and analyzed in detail. The communication fee to be discounted may include a communication fee and a call fee that are not directly related to the location information provision, in addition to the communication fee required for the location information provision of the terminal.

  Even when a large amount of position information is given from the mobile terminal, the acquired position information cannot be used effectively for grasping and analyzing traffic when the mobile terminal holder does not use the moving means. Therefore, in the present invention, the moving distance of the portable terminal holder is used as an index that contributes to grasping and analyzing traffic. This is because it is considered that various moving means are used as the moving distance is longer. As a result, a significant discount on communication charges can be provided to the holder of the portable terminal that has greatly contributed to grasping and analyzing traffic.

The privilege granting device is configured to add points to the owner of the mobile terminal and apply a discount according to the accumulated points to subsequent communication charges charged to the owner of the mobile terminal. (Claim 8).

Further, the moving speed of the holder of the GPS-equipped mobile terminal 13 can be calculated based on the position information acquired from the GPS (Global Positioning System) -attached mobile terminal 13 (see JP-A-7-38951). Hereinafter, the portable terminal 12 and the GPS-equipped portable terminal 13 are collectively referred to as a “portable terminal”. The monitoring control device 10 performs monitoring and control of the radio base station 11.

  Based on the position information of the mobile terminal acquired by the radio base station 11, the moving means determination device 1 calculates the speed when the owner of the mobile terminal moves from O (starting place) to D (destination). It is a device for. Further, the moving means discriminating apparatus 1 includes a position information management unit 7 for managing the position information acquired by the radio base station 11, a position information storage unit 3 for storing the position information, and the acquired position information.

The OD traffic volume calculation device 2 is a device for calculating the OD traffic volume for each moving means discriminated by the moving means discriminating apparatus 1 and is based on the OD information stored in the OD information storage unit 5. An OD traffic amount calculation unit 9 for calculating the amount is provided.
The telephone fee discount device 14 is a device for managing a telephone fee charged to the owner of the mobile terminal that provided the location information to the radio base station 11. The telephone charge discount device 14 includes a telephone charge calculation unit 15 for calculating a discount rate of a telephone charge charged to the owner of the mobile terminal based on the location information acquired by the radio base station 11, and a telephone charge calculation. When the discount rate is calculated by the user information storage unit 16 for storing the discount rate calculated by the unit 15 as the user information of the owner of the portable terminal, and the telephone rate calculation unit 15, the discount rate is calculated. And a telephone bill statement issuing unit 17 for issuing a statement showing the telephone bill to which is applied.

The telephone bill statement 18 created by the telephone bill statement issuing unit 17 is sent to the owner of the portable terminal device 12 or the holder of the portable terminal with GPS 13.
In this system, a communication fee required when location information is provided from the mobile terminal to the radio base station 11 is charged. Further, in this system, a telephone charge is used for a telephone charge necessary for Internet connection, mail transmission / reception and telephone call performed by a portable terminal, and a communication charge necessary for providing location information to the wireless base station 11. The discount rate calculated by the discount device 14 is applied. Therefore, the owner of the mobile terminal can actively provide a large amount of location information in order to receive a discount on the telephone charge.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining the control operation of the moving means discriminating apparatus 1.
The position information management unit 7 extracts the position information of the same recognition code from the position information stored in the position information storage unit 3 at regular intervals such as one day, one week, or one month. Step S1).
An example of the extracted position information is shown in FIG. In this example, the position information of the GPS mobile terminal 13 with the identification code “12A8G329X” is extracted. A recognition code is transmitted every 15 seconds from the mobile terminal 13 with GPS having the identification code “12A8G329X” to each wireless base station 11, and the position information calculated based on this recognition code is updated every 15 seconds. Is stored in the position information storage unit 3. This position information is composed of latitude, longitude, altitude, speed and direction.

In addition, this position information includes the data at "Time 07:10:00", the data at "Time 07:10:15", the data at "Time 07:10:30", and the data at "Time 07:10:45" Is included. That is, four or more data are included.
Referring to FIG. 2 again, when the position information of the portable terminal having the same recognition code is extracted, not all the position information stored in the position information storage unit 3 has been extracted (NO in step S2). The extracted position information is arranged in order of time, and it is determined whether or not the position information at the same position has been continuously detected for a predetermined time _Tod , for example, several hours or more. And when it is detected continuously more than _Tod , the same position is regarded as the position where the trip of the portable terminal holder was interrupted, and the position is D (destination) of the previous trip or the subsequent trip. Is calculated as O (departure point) (step S3).

When position information at the same position is continuously detected for several hours or more, it is considered that the holder of the portable terminal stays at a certain point without moving by the moving means. For this reason, the OD information of the owner of the portable terminal can be acquired by setting the position that has not moved to D of the previous trip or O of the subsequent trip.
In consideration of the fact that the position information acquired from the mobile terminal includes an error, when position information of the same position is detected continuously for more than _Tod , the position is set to D of the previous trip, Or, not only in the configuration to calculate as O of the subsequent trip, but when the position information of the position within a certain range is continuously detected for more than _Tod , the average value or median value of those positions is obtained from the previous trip. It may be configured to calculate D or O of subsequent trips.

Then, while the holder of the portable terminal moves from O to D, it is determined whether or not the position information at the same position has been continuously detected for a predetermined time T _stop , for example, several minutes. And when it is detected continuously for T _stop or more, the same position is regarded as a position where the moving means used by the portable terminal holder is stopped, and is calculated as a stop position M during the trip. (Step S4).

When the information acquired is the same for several minutes while the holder of the portable terminal moves from O to D, it is considered that the moving means used by the portable terminal holder is stopped. Therefore, by introducing the concept of the stop position and processing the position information acquired from the mobile terminal, it is possible to know in detail the state of the moving means used by the mobile terminal holder.
In consideration of the fact that the position information acquired from the mobile terminal includes an error, when position information T _{stop at} the same position is continuously detected, the position is calculated as the stop position M. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be configured to calculate an average value or median value of the positions as the stop position M when position information of positions within a certain range is continuously detected.

  When the trip O and D and the stop position M are calculated, the differential for the respective positions between the stop positions of O and the stop position M, the stop position M and the stop position M, and the stop positions M and D is performed. As a result, the speed between the respective stop positions is calculated (step S5). The speed in the position information of the GPS mobile terminal 13 calculated by the radio base station 11 may be used without performing this differentiation process.

FIG. 4 is a graph schematically showing the speeds between the O and M, M and M, and M and D stop positions calculated from the position information of FIG.
Referring to FIG. 4, in this figure, the above-described trips O and D and stop positions M1 to M9 are entered. The speeds between the stop positions of O and M, M and M, and M and D are depicted as time relationships.

Referring to FIG. 2 again, when the speed between the respective stop positions is calculated, it is determined based on this speed what moving means the mobile terminal holder has moved (step S6). .
The moving means discriminating process is performed by the moving means discriminating unit 8, and the moving means discriminating unit 8 moves the map data stored in the map data storage unit 4 and the moving unit stored in the change pattern storage unit 6. The moving means is determined based on the change pattern of the moving speed for each.

The map data stored in the map data storage unit 4 includes a position on a map of a railway such as a railroad, a position on a map of a motorway such as a highway, and a map of a bicycle road such as a cycling road. The position, the position on the map of a pedestrian road such as pedestrian heaven, the position on the map of a general road, and the like are included.
The change pattern of the moving speed of the moving means stored in the change pattern storage unit 6 includes a change pattern of the moving speed of the railway, a change pattern of the moving speed of the automobile, a change pattern of the moving speed of the bicycle, and a moving speed of the pedestrian. The change pattern is included.

  The change pattern of the moving speed of each moving means includes a speed unit composed of an acceleration when the moving means accelerates, a constant speed when the moving means is constant speed, and a deceleration time when the moving means decelerates. . Some movement speed change patterns include three or more speed units. Each acceleration time, each constant speed time, and each deceleration time are different from each other. A specific example of the change pattern of the moving speed of each moving means is as follows.

The change pattern of the moving speed of the railway is composed of three or less speed units. Furthermore, the average acceleration during each acceleration is 4 to 6 m / s ² , each acceleration time is 20 seconds or more, and each constant speed time is 30 seconds or more. Moreover, the average deceleration at each deceleration is 3 to 5 m / s ² , and each deceleration time is 40 seconds or more.
The change pattern of the moving speed of the automobile includes a plurality of speed units. Furthermore, the average acceleration at each acceleration is ² to 4 m / s ² , and the average deceleration at each deceleration is 1 to 3 m / s ² .

The change pattern of the moving speed of the bicycle includes a plurality of speed units. Furthermore, the average acceleration at each acceleration is 0 to ² m / s ² , and the average deceleration at each deceleration is 0 to 1 m / s ² .
The change pattern of the walking movement speed does not exist at the time of acceleration and deceleration, and is configured only at the constant speed.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a logical expression for explaining an example of the determination process of the moving unit.
Referring to FIG. 5, when the moving means determination process is started, first, the maximum moving speed between the respective stop positions is obtained. At this time, if the maximum movement speed is 0 km / h to 5 km / h, the logical signal V1 is obtained. If the maximum movement speed is 5 km / h to 15 km / h, the logical signal V2 is provided, and the maximum movement speed is 15 km / h to 60 km. If / h, the logic signal V3 is turned on, and if the maximum moving speed is 60 km / h to 100 km / h, the logic signal V4 is turned on.

  In general, the maximum movement speed for walking is 0 km / h to 5 km / h, the maximum movement speed for bicycles is about 5 km / h to 15 km / h, and the maximum movement speed for cars is 15 km / h to 60 km / h. On the other hand, the maximum travel speed of the railway is 60km / h to 100km / h. Thus, the maximum moving speed of the moving means is unique to each other and is different from each other. Therefore, by determining the moving means based on the maximum moving speed between the respective stop positions, it is possible to improve the reliability of the information of the moving means determined.

  And each position of the portable terminal between each stop position and each position on the movement route of the map data stored in the map data storage unit 4 are compared, and where the portable terminal is located. You are asked if you are. If the portable terminal is located on the track, the logical signal L1 is obtained. If the portable terminal is located on the road for exclusive use of the automobile, the logical signal L2 is obtained. If the portable terminal is located on the road for exclusive use of the bicycle, the logical signal L3 is obtained. However, if the mobile terminal is located on a pedestrian road, the logical signal L4 is turned on, and if the mobile terminal is located on a general road, the logical signal L5 is turned on. Here, the mobile terminal is located on the map data track or on the road. However, in consideration of the fact that the position information acquired from the mobile terminal includes an error, the mobile terminal The logic signals L1 to L5 may be turned on when the vehicle is located near the road.

For example, in the map data, when the mobile terminal is located on an automobile-only road, it can be determined that the mobile terminal holder is moving by car. Thus, by determining the moving means while referring to the position information of the mobile terminal and the position information regarding the moving route in the map data, the reliability of the information of the moving means to be determined can be improved.
Next, it is determined which movement means change pattern stored in the change pattern storage unit 6 is similar to the change pattern of the movement speed between the stop positions. For example, the change pattern of the moving speed is composed of 3 or less speed units, the average acceleration at each acceleration is 4-6 m / s ² , and each acceleration time is 20 seconds or more. If the constant velocity time is 30 seconds or more, the average deceleration at each deceleration is 3 to 5 m / s ² and each deceleration time is 40 seconds or more, the change pattern of the moving speed is It is determined that the pattern is similar to the railway change pattern, and the logic signal P1 is turned on.

Similarly, this is a moving speed change pattern including a plurality of speed units, the average acceleration at each acceleration is ² to 4 m / s ² , and the average deceleration at each deceleration is all 1 If it is ˜3 m / s ^2, it is determined that the change pattern of the moving speed is similar to the change pattern of the automobile, and the logic signal P2 is turned on.
Further, the movement speed change pattern includes a plurality of speed units, and the average acceleration at each acceleration is all 0-2 m / s ² and the average deceleration at each deceleration is all 0-1 m / s. if it is s ^2, the change pattern of the moving speed is determined to be similar to bicycle change pattern, a logic signal P3 is turned on.

In addition, when the change pattern of the moving speed is always constant, the change pattern is determined to be similar to the walking change pattern, and the logic signal P4 is turned on.
The change pattern of the moving speed for each moving means is unique and the change pattern is different from each other. Therefore, the determination is made by determining whether or not the change pattern of the movement speed between the stop positions is similar to the change pattern of the movement speed for each moving means stored in each change pattern storage unit 6. The reliability of the information of the moving means used can be improved.

  When each logic signal is obtained, the moving means is determined based on these signals. When the logic signal of the maximum movement speed is V3 or V4, the logic signal of the map data is L1, and the logic signal of the change pattern of the movement speed is P1, the owner of the mobile terminal is on the railroad (See FIG. 5A). Further, when the logic signal of the maximum movement speed is any one of V1 to V4, the logic signal of the map data is L2 or L5, and the logic signal of the change pattern of the movement speed is P2, the possession of the portable terminal It is determined that the person is in a car (see FIG. 5B).

  When the logic signal of the maximum movement speed is V1 or V2, the logic signal of the map data is L3 or L5, and the logic signal of the change pattern of the movement speed is P3, the owner of the mobile terminal rides a bicycle. (See FIG. 5C). When the logic signal of the maximum movement speed is V1, the logic signal of the map data is L4 or L5, and the logic signal of the change pattern of the movement speed is P4, the portable terminal holder moves on foot. (See FIG. 5D).

  Therefore, the maximum movement speed between each stop position is any of 15 km / h to 60 km / h, and the mobile terminal is located on the map data track, and the movement speed change pattern is Only when it is similar to the change pattern, it is determined that the owner of the mobile terminal is using the railway. In addition, the maximum movement speed between each stop position is any of 15 km / h to 60 km / h, and the mobile terminal is located on a road dedicated to automobiles or a general road of map data, and the movement speed Only when the change pattern is similar to the change pattern of the car, the holder of the mobile terminal determines that the car is being used.

  Furthermore, the maximum moving speed between each stop position is in the range of 0 km / h to 15 km / h, and the mobile terminal is located on a bicycle road or a general road of map data, and the moving speed Only when the change pattern is similar to the change pattern of the bicycle, it is determined that the owner of the mobile terminal is using the bicycle. In addition, the maximum movement speed between each stop position is any of 0 km / h to 5 km / h, and the mobile terminal is located on the pedestrian road or the general road of the map data, and Only when the change pattern of the moving speed is similar to the change pattern of the pedestrian, it is determined that the owner of the mobile terminal is using a car.

In this way, when determining what moving means the holder of the mobile terminal has moved based on the position information between the respective stop positions, the maximum moving speed, map data, and movement between the respective stop positions are determined. By performing discrimination based on the three viewpoints of the speed change pattern, the reliability of the discriminated information can be improved, which can greatly contribute to grasping and analyzing the actual state of traffic.
Referring to FIG. 2 again, when the moving means is determined, the connecting position N is calculated (step S7). The transfer position N is a stop position M in which the front and rear moving means are different.

  If the moving means are different after a lapse of a certain time Tstop for several minutes, it is considered that the holder of the portable terminal has changed the moving means at the stop position M. Therefore, by introducing the concept of transit position to the information acquired from the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal holder used it even when multiple moving means were included while moving from O to D Since each moving means can be distinguished, it can greatly contribute to grasping and analyzing the actual state of traffic.

FIG. 6 is a diagram schematically showing the moving means determined from the graph of FIG. 4 and the calculated transfer position N (the graph of FIG. 6 itself is the same as FIG. 4).
Referring to FIGS. 4 and 6, moving means determination unit 8 is based on the maximum moving speed, the map data, and the changing pattern of the moving speed, and the trip O to stop position M <b> 1, stop position M <b> 5 to stop position in FIG. 4. In M6 and stop position M9 to D of trip, it is determined that the owner of the mobile terminal is moving on foot. Further, at the stop position M1 to the stop position M5, it is determined that the owner of the mobile terminal is on the railroad, and at the stop position M6 to the stop position M9, it is determined that the owner of the mobile terminal is on the car.

Next, since the moving means has changed from walking to railway before and after the stop position M1, the stopping position M1 is set as the transit position N1, and the moving means has changed from railway to walking before and after the stop position M5. The stop position M5 is set as a transfer position N2. Similarly, the stop position M6 is set as the transfer position N3, and the stop position M9 is set as the transfer position N4.
Referring to FIG. 2 again, when the moving means is determined and the transfer position N is calculated, these pieces of information are accumulated (stored) in the OD information storage unit 5 as OD information (step S8).

7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a mode in which the information illustrated in FIG. 6 is stored as OD information. FIG. 8 illustrates another example of a mode in which the information illustrated in FIG. 6 is stored as OD information. FIG.
The OD information storage unit 5 stores, as OD information, the time, latitude, longitude, and altitude of the O, D, and connecting position for each trip, and information on the moving means used by the mobile terminal holder between these positions. (See FIG. 7). Further, by dividing one trip for each connecting position, a trip for each moving means may be created and stored as separate OD information for each trip (see FIG. 8). In this way, by determining what kind of moving means the holder of the mobile terminal has used for each transit position, what kind of person is moved from where to what kind of moving means It is possible to grasp in more detail which time zone it moved. Therefore, it can greatly contribute to grasping and analyzing detailed traffic conditions.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining the control operation of the OD traffic volume calculation device 2, and FIG. 10 is an illustrative view for explaining an example of a traffic volume calculation method.
One OD information stored in the OD information storage unit 5 is extracted by the OD traffic amount calculation unit 9 at regular intervals such as one day, one week, or one month (step S11).
In FIG. 10, a specific area (for example, the central part of Tokyo or the central part of Osaka) is divided into 1 km × 1 km areas, and area codes 1 to 25 are added to the respective areas. Moreover, the OD traffic volume calculation part 9 has memorize | stored the positional information on each area, and can each count the OD traffic volume which moved from the position included in the area code 1 to the position included in each area code 1-25. . Similarly, the OD traffic volume moved from the position included in each area code 2-25 to the position included in each area code 1-25 can be counted.

If all the OD information has not been extracted (No in step S12), the area code of the area including the O position of the extracted OD information is changed to the area code of the area including the position of D. The count value of the moved OD traffic is incremented by one (step S13).
Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, OD information 1 and OD information 2 are extracted, the area code of the area including the O position of OD information 1 is 1, and the position of D is included. When the area code of the area is 2, the count value of the OD traffic volume moved from the area code 1 to the area code 2 is increased by one. Further, when the area code of the region including the O position of the OD information 2 is 2 and the area code of the region including the position of D is 25, the OD moved from the area code 2 to the area code 25. The traffic count is incremented by one.

  As described above, the moving means determination device 1 calculates the speed when the owner of the mobile terminal moves from O to D based on the position information acquired from the mobile terminal, and based on the calculated speed. It is possible to determine which moving means the holder of the mobile terminal has moved using. Therefore, it is possible to grasp which person moved from where to where, by what means of transportation, and in what time zone without distributing / collecting questionnaires. And time can be greatly reduced. With this reduction in labor and time, the same results as the person trip survey can be achieved on a long-term basis without using questionnaires.

In addition, the OD traffic volume calculation device 2 can calculate the OD traffic volume for each moving means such as a railroad, an automobile, a bicycle, and a walking by using the information on the moving means determined by the moving means determination device 1. it can.
FIG. 11 is a flowchart for explaining the control operation of the telephone charge calculation device 14.
The telephone fee calculation unit 15 extracts the position information of the same recognition code from the position information stored in the position information storage unit 3 at regular intervals such as one day, one week, one month, etc. ( Step S21). An example of the extracted position information is shown in FIG.

If not all the position information stored in the position information storage unit 3 has been extracted (NO in step S22), the moving distance of the portable terminal holder is calculated based on the extracted position information (step S22). S23) Based on the calculated moving distance, a discount rate based on the moving distance is calculated (step S24).
FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of a table referred to when the discount rate is determined based on the movement distance.

Referring to FIG. 12, the telephone charge calculation unit 15 stores a table as shown in FIG. 12, and based on the movement distance calculated in step S23 and the table, position information is transmitted to the wireless communication station 11. Calculate the discount rate for telephone charges charged to the owner of the provided mobile terminal.
By the way, it is considered that the longer the moving distance calculated in step S23, the more the portable terminal holder has moved using various moving means. Therefore, the position information having a long movement distance calculated in step S23 can greatly contribute to grasping and analyzing traffic. For this reason, the table shown in FIG. 12 is set so that the discount rate of the telephone charge increases in proportion to the length of the travel distance calculated in step S23.

Specifically, a basic discount rate is set according to the length of the travel distance calculated in S23, and the integrated value of the basic discount rate and the travel distance calculated in S23 is the discount rate of the telephone charge. It becomes. Since the basic discount rate is set to be large in proportion to the length of the travel distance, the discount rate of the telephone charge is larger in proportion to the length of the travel distance calculated in S23.
For example, if the travel distance calculated in S23 is 10 km, the basic discount rate for 10 km is 0.020%.
10 × 0.020 = 0.2 (%) (1)
When the travel distance calculated in S23 is 110 km, the basic discount rate for 110 km is 0.030%.
110 × 0.030 = 3.3 (%) (2)
It becomes.

Therefore, it is possible to increase the discount rate of the telephone fee charged to the owner of the mobile terminal that has provided the position information having a long travel distance calculated in step S23.
Referring to FIG. 11 again, when the discount rate based on the moving distance is calculated, the number of data of the extracted position information is calculated (step S25), and the discount based on the number of data is calculated based on the calculated number of data. A rate is calculated (step S26).

FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of a table that is referred to when the discount rate is determined based on the number of data.
Referring to FIG. 13, telephone charge calculation unit 15 also stores a table as shown in FIG. 13, and the mobile phone that provided location information to wireless communication station 11 based on the number of data and this table in step S25. Calculate the discount rate for telephone charges charged to the terminal owner.

  In the table shown in FIG. 13, the discount rate for telephone charges is set to be larger in proportion to the number of data calculated in step S23. Specifically, a basic discount rate is set in accordance with the number of data calculated in S25, and the integrated value of the basic discount rate and the number of data calculated in S25 is a discount rate for telephone charges. Since the basic discount rate is set to be larger in proportion to the number of data, the telephone rate discount rate is larger in proportion to the calculated number of data calculated in S25.

For example, if the number of data calculated in S25 is 9, the basic discount rate for 9 data is 0.10%, so the discount rate for telephone charges is
9 x 0.10 = 0.9 (%) (3)
When the number of data calculated in S25 is 90, the basic discount rate for 90 is 0.14%, so the discount rate for telephone charges is
90 × 0.14 = 12.6 (%) (4)
It becomes.

Accordingly, the owner of the mobile phone actively provides the location information to the radio base station 11 in order to increase the discount rate of the telephone charge. As a result, a large amount of position information is stored in the position information storage unit 3, so that it is possible to grasp and analyze detailed traffic by effectively using these position information.
Referring to FIG. 11 again, when the discount rate based on the number of data is calculated, the discount rate calculated in step S24 and the discount rate calculated in step S26 are aggregated (added) (step S27).

For example, if the discount rate calculated in step S24 is 3.3% and the discount rate calculated in step S26 is 12.6%, the aggregated discount rate is
3.3 + 12.6 = 15.9 (%) (5)
It becomes. The discount rate calculated in step S24 and the discount rate calculated in step S26 may be multiplied so that the discount rates are aggregated. The discount rate aggregated at this time is
{1- (100-3.3) × (100-12.6) / 10000} × 100
= 15.5 (%) (6)
It becomes.

When the discount rate is calculated, the information on the owner of the portable terminal that provided the discount rate and the location information is stored in the user information storage unit 16 as user information. Further, a statement showing the telephone charge to which the discount rate is applied is issued, and the telephone charge is charged to the owner of the portable terminal by a telephone charge collection system (not shown).
As described above, when the location information is given from the mobile terminal to the radio base station 11, the telephone fee calculation device 14 calculates a discount rate for the telephone fee charged to the owner of the mobile terminal. In addition, the discount rate will increase for mobile terminal owners who have given a lot of location information and mobile terminal owners who have made a significant contribution to traffic surveys and analysis. In order to make it cheaper, the location information providing program is installed, and the location information is actively provided to the radio base station 11 by setting the program in the activated state for a long time as much as possible.

Therefore, a lot of position information is stored in the position information storage unit 3, and a lot of OD information is also stored in the OD information storage unit 5. By using this information, traffic can be grasped and analyzed in detail.
The “telephone charge” used in the above description includes a call charge and a communication charge.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the claims.
For example, instead of a configuration in which a telephone fee is discounted based on given location information, points are added to the owner of the portable terminal based on the given location information, and the owner of the portable terminal is charged. It is also possible to apply a discount according to the accumulated points to the subsequent communication charges. At this time, it is preferable that the number of points to be added is different depending on the amount of position information given from the mobile terminal and the distance traveled by the owner of the mobile terminal.

  Further, instead of a configuration that discounts the telephone charge based on the given location information, a gift certificate or a product is given to the holder of the mobile terminal based on the given location information. Also good. At this time, it is preferable to adopt a configuration in which the amount of the gift certificate to be given and the product differ depending on the amount of position information given from the mobile terminal and the distance traveled by the holder of the mobile terminal.

In addition, a 10% discount rate is applied to all mobile terminal owners who have installed a program that automatically uploads location information at all times, and location information is automatically sent between 9 am and 5 pm. A configuration in which a discount rate of 5% is uniformly applied to the holder of the portable terminal in which the program to be uploaded is installed may be used.
In this embodiment, the communication fee required when the location information is provided from the mobile terminal to the radio base station is charged. However, the communication fee may be free. Also, the discount rate calculated by the telephone fee calculation device is the communication fee required when location information is provided from the mobile terminal to the wireless base station, the Internet connection performed by the mobile terminal, and the communication fee required for sending and receiving mail In addition, the configuration may be applied to any one of the communication charges necessary for a telephone call between mobile terminals, or may be applied to two of them.

  In this embodiment, the location information providing program is installed in the mobile terminal, and the location information is provided to the radio base station by keeping the program activated for a long time as much as possible. May be configured to transmit manually.
