However, even if various measures for increasing the communication capacity of the entire wireless communication system are executed, the position distribution of the user holding the wireless communication terminal device cannot be changed. Therefore, the uneven use of frequency in the communication area, in which traffic is concentrated in a specific communication area due to the uneven distribution of wireless communication terminal apparatuses that perform communication, cannot be resolved.

  The following techniques are known as techniques that can be used to eliminate the uneven use of frequency in the communication area. That is, the vehicle communication device mounted on the vehicle transmits the route information of the vehicle from the current position of the vehicle to the destination to the communication network management device. The vehicle communication device receives the radio resource status for each communication area including the route from the communication network management device. The vehicular communication device refers to the received radio resource status for each communication area, determines a communication area in which the vehicle travels, and determines a communication mode in the traveling communication area.

  Moreover, the following techniques are known. That is, the mobile communication terminal apparatus determines whether the data communication requested by the mobile communication terminal apparatus is based on the state of the communication path in the path from the current position of the mobile communication terminal apparatus to the destination and the type of communication scheduled to be performed by the user. Search for possible routes and create a communication schedule. When the mobile communication terminal apparatus becomes in a state that matches the communication conditions of the created communication schedule, the mobile communication terminal apparatus executes communication.

  Furthermore, the following techniques are known. That is, the mobile phone acquires time information and position information. Further, the mobile phone measures the data communication speed that can be received at the present time based on the pilot signal transmitted from the base station. The mobile phone associates the measured data communication speed with the time information and the position information, generates history information regarding the communication level, and creates the generated history information in a database in chronological order. When the mobile phone receives a request to shift to the data communication guide mode, the mobile phone acquires time information and position information. The mobile phone reads a plurality of history information corresponding to the acquired time information and position information from the database. The mobile phone generates a guide display screen by superimposing the data communication speed of the area indicated by the plurality of read history information on the map data centered on the current position of the mobile phone, and displays the generated guide display screen .

The data communication determination process at is terminated. Then, the communication availability determination unit 713 advances the wireless communication control process to the process of step S107.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the wireless communication quality value indicated by the wireless communication quality data is less than the wireless communication quality threshold determined by the threshold determination unit 712 (“NO” in step S201), the communication availability determination unit 713 The process of step S202 is executed.

  In step S202, the communication availability determination unit 713 extracts the set connection terminal number corresponding to the communication service indicated by the service type data transmitted from the wireless communication terminal device 2 from the set terminal number database. Then, the communication feasibility determination unit 713 determines whether or not the average connection terminal number determined by the threshold determination unit 712 is equal to or less than the set connection terminal number extracted. The determination process in step S202 is an example of a determination process for determining whether or not the average communication speed value is equal to or higher than the communication speed threshold.

  When it is determined that the average number of connected terminals is equal to or less than the set number of connected terminals (“YES” in step S202), the communication availability determination unit 713 ends the data communication determination process in step S106 and performs the wireless communication control process. The process proceeds to step S107.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the average number of connected terminals exceeds the set number of connected terminals (“NO” in step S202), the communication availability determining unit 713 executes the process of step S203.

  In step S203, the communication availability determination unit 713 determines whether or not the communication service indicated by the service type data received from the wireless communication terminal device 2 via the communication unit 730 is an immediate communication service.

  The communication service indicated by the service type data can be broadly classified into a first communication service that is required to start communication immediately and a second communication service that is not necessarily required to start communication immediately.

  As an example of the first communication service, there is a communication service in which a user downloads and browses a moving image provided by the server 5 or browses a website provided by the server 5 using the wireless communication terminal device 2. . In the first communication service, the user of the wireless communication terminal device 2 activates application software stored in the auxiliary storage device 205 via the input device 208, and transmits data to the server 5 via the activated application software. Request. As described above, in the first communication service, since the user requests transmission of data, the communication between the wireless communication terminal device 2 and the server 5 is wireless that covers the communication area of the current location of the wireless communication terminal device 2. It is necessary to start immediately via the base station apparatus 3.

  As an example of the second communication service, there is a communication service in which a user uses the wireless communication terminal device 2 to receive a mail transmitted from the server 5 or distribution data of a subscription. In the second communication service, the server 5 can transmit data to the wireless communication terminal device 2 at a predetermined timing determined by the server 5. Thus, in the second communication service, the user does not recognize the specific timing at which data is transmitted from the server 5. Therefore, the communication between the wireless communication terminal device 2 and the server 5 can be postponed until the communication environment (wireless communication quality and communication speed) in the current communication area of the wireless communication terminal device 2 is established.

  When it is determined that the communication service indicated by the service type data is the second communication service without immediacy (“NO” in step S203), the communication availability determination unit 713 performs the wireless communication control process in step S102. Return to.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the communication service indicated by the service type data is the first communication service with immediacy (“YES” in step S203), the communication availability determination unit 713 executes the process of step S204. .

  In step S <b> 204, the communication availability determination unit 713 transmits a communication start confirmation as to whether to start communication between the wireless communication terminal device 2 and the server 5 to the wireless communication terminal device 2 via the communication unit 730. That is, whether or not to immediately start communication with the server 5 even if the wireless communication quality and communication speed necessary for executing the requested communication service are not obtained at the current location of the wireless communication terminal device 2, The communication availability determination unit 713 confirms with the wireless communication terminal device 2.

  The display device 209 of the wireless communication terminal device 2 that has received the communication start confirmation does not have the wireless communication quality and communication speed necessary for executing the requested communication service even if it is obtained at the current location of the wireless communication terminal device 2. A confirmation screen is displayed as to whether to start communication immediately. The user of the wireless communication terminal device 2 refers to the displayed confirmation screen and instructs the wireless communication terminal device 2 via the input device 208 whether or not to immediately start communication. The CPU 201 transmits data including user instruction content to the communication unit 730 via the communication interface 206.

  The communication unit 730 receives data including an instruction content as to whether or not to immediately start communication from the wireless communication terminal device 2, and transmits the received data to the communication availability determination unit 713.

  When the instruction content of the data transmitted from the wireless communication terminal device 2 is an instruction to immediately start communication (“YES” in step S204), the communication availability determination unit 713 performs the data communication determination process in step S106. Then, the wireless communication control process proceeds to step S107.

  On the other hand, when the instruction content of the data transmitted from the wireless communication terminal device 2 is an instruction that does not immediately start communication, that is, an instruction to postpone the start of communication ("NO" in step S204), a communication availability determination unit In step S713, the wireless communication control process returns to the process in step S102.

  When the wireless communication control process returns to the process of step S102, the communication unit 730 receives terminal position data, time data, wireless communication quality data, and service type data newly transmitted from the wireless communication terminal apparatus 2 again. (Step S102). The position determination unit 711 determines again the communication area of the current location of the wireless communication terminal device 2 based on the terminal position data newly transmitted from the wireless communication terminal device 2 (step S103). For example, when the user holding the wireless communication terminal apparatus 2 moves and the current location of the wireless communication terminal apparatus 2 changes, a communication area different from the previously determined communication area is set as the communication area of the current location of the wireless communication terminal apparatus 2. May be judged. The threshold determination unit 712 again selects a wireless communication quality threshold based on the service type data newly transmitted from the wireless communication terminal device 2 and the communication area determined again (step S104). The threshold value determination unit 712 again selects the average number of connected terminals based on the time data newly transmitted from the wireless communication terminal device 2 and the communication area determined again (step S105). The communication availability determination unit 713 executes the data communication determination process again based on the wireless communication quality threshold value selected again and the average number of connected terminals (step S106).

  The above-described repetitive processing from step S102 to step S106 is executed until the postponed communication between the wireless communication terminal device 2 and the server 5 is started.

  On the other hand, when the wireless communication control process proceeds to the process of step S107, the communication availability determination unit 713 permits the start of communication between the wireless communication terminal apparatus 2 and the server 5 to the wireless communication terminal apparatus 2. Notification is made to the radio base station apparatus 3 that covers the communication area of the current location of the radio communication terminal apparatus 2. Communication between the wireless communication terminal device 2 and the server 5 is performed via the wireless base station device 3 that covers the communication area of the current location of the wireless communication terminal device 2.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment, the communication classified as not needing to be started immediately between the wireless communication terminal device 2 and the server 5 is the current location of the wireless communication terminal device 2. It is postponed until the communication environment (wireless communication quality and communication speed) in the communication area is improved. Even if the communication is classified as needing to start immediately, if the postponement is instructed by the user of the wireless communication terminal device 2, the communication in the communication area at the current location of the wireless communication terminal device 2 is performed. The start of communication is postponed until the environment is improved.

  On the other hand, according to the first embodiment, when the communication environment of the current communication area of the wireless communication terminal device 2 is good, communication between the wireless communication terminal device 2 and the server 5 is performed by the wireless communication terminal device 2. Starts immediately at your current location. In addition, even if the communication environment of the current communication area of the wireless communication terminal device 2 is not good, communication classified as needing to start communication immediately is an instruction from the user of the wireless communication terminal device 2 Will start immediately.
