Description

  The present invention relates to a position information collection device, system, method, and program for collecting position information of a wireless terminal.

  Traffic volume surveys can be cited as a method for investigating traffic when opening a new commercial facility or for road maintenance.

  The most frequently used traffic volume survey method is to place an investigator at a location where traffic volume is to be surveyed, and the investigator visually confirms the traffic, or the full-time staff confirms the video shot later. There is.

  However, in this method, since the investigation is performed manually, a lot of labor costs and the investigation take time. Furthermore, labor costs and processing time will be further increased if a wide range of surveys, surveys in areas with high traffic volume, or surveys of specific types such as gender and age are attempted.

  In addition, since the survey is conducted only at the point where the investigator is arranged, there is a problem that the flow of people cannot be investigated. Even if you increase the number of investigators and measurement points, you cannot collect information about how an individual moved and where they went. As described above, there is a problem that only end point data having poor versatility can be acquired.

  On the other hand, Patent Literature 1 to Patent Literature 5 describe a method for investigating traffic using measurement information of a wireless base station and a wireless terminal.

  In the method described in Patent Document 1, information indicating whether or not there is a wireless terminal in a specified cell is acquired and used for investigating human flow. In this method, measurement starts when triggered by entry into the measurement cell, and measurement ends when triggered by exit from the measurement cell. In addition, while there are wireless terminals in the measurement cell, it is confirmed that the wireless base station is periodically located with respect to the wireless terminals.

  However, since the method described in Patent Document 1 obtains whether or not a certain wireless terminal is in the cell, movement in the cell cannot be measured in detail.

  As a method for solving the problem that the movement in the cell cannot be measured in detail, there are methods described in Patent Documents 2 to 4.

  The methods described in Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3 acquire and monitor the behavior of the measurement subject. First, the behavior route of the measurement target person and the predicted passage time are registered in advance. Then, the measurement subject is allowed to have a wireless terminal, and the position information is reported at regular intervals. The information processing server that has acquired the position information compares it with the predicted route and the predicted time. If the predicted value and the actually measured value do not match, the former sends an e-mail to the administrator as a warning, and the latter gives a warning to the wireless terminal of the measurement subject.

  In addition, the method described in Patent Document 4 measures how fast each person moves from their starting point to their destination. In this method, position information is periodically acquired from wireless terminals owned by an unspecified number of individuals. When a certain wireless terminal stays at the same place for a certain period of time, that place is set as the starting point or destination. Furthermore, when the movement of the wireless terminal is confirmed, the moving speed is calculated from the position information and the acquisition interval.

  In the methods described in Patent Document 2 to Patent Document 4, the problem of the method described in Patent Document 1 that the movement in the cell cannot be measured in detail because the position information of the wireless terminal is acquired is solved. However, since the methods described in Patent Document 2 to Patent Document 4 are not triggered by position measurement, the position information of a specific individual or an unspecified number of individuals is always acquired and acquired when the acquisition time becomes long. The amount of information becomes enormous.

  As a method of reducing the problem that the amount of information becomes enormous as the acquisition time becomes longer, there is a method described in Patent Document 5.

  The method described in Patent Document 5 specifies a wireless terminal in the warning area. The location database stores the position information of the wireless terminal, and notifies the information of the wireless terminal in the area in response to a request from the warning application.

  In this method, since only the information in the warning area is acquired, the problem that the amount of information is enormous, such as the methods described in Patent Document 2 to Patent Document 4, is reduced.

  However, in the method described in Patent Document 5, it is possible to specify a wireless terminal existing in the warning area, but since subscriber information such as the sex and age of the subscriber is unknown, the acquired location information is used as the subscriber information. Cannot be classified and provided to users.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a position information collecting apparatus, system, method, and program that can provide position information according to subscriber information desired by a user.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the present embodiment, the position information collection device of the first embodiment will be described more specifically.

  First, FIG. 3 shows a configuration example of a position information collection system using the position information collection apparatus 10 of the present embodiment.

  The location information collection system according to this embodiment includes a user terminal 6, a management device 50, a location information collection device 10, a subscriber information database 7, a radio base station 30, and a radio terminal 40. In FIG. 3, the radio base station 30 shows the radio base station 30A and the radio base station 30B, but the number of components is not particularly limited. Further, although one wireless terminal 40 is shown in FIG. 3, the number of wireless terminals 40 is not particularly limited.

  The user terminal 6 is a terminal for a user who wants to use location information collected by the location information collection system, such as a traffic survey, to input monitoring information necessary for monitoring location information such as a monitoring area. As the user terminal 6, an information communication terminal such as a personal computer or a tablet computer can be used.

  The monitoring area is a point or region designated by the user as a target for investigating the traffic volume or the like with respect to the position information collection system. When the user designates a road or a track as a monitoring area, the traveling direction may be designated. A plurality of monitoring areas may be designated.

  The management device 50 is a device that manages the position information collection system. The management device 50 receives monitoring information such as a monitoring area from the user terminal 6. Then, the monitoring information is transmitted to the radio base station 30 (radio base station 30A and radio base station 30B in FIG. 3) including the monitoring area in the cell range (communication range).

  The radio base station 30 (radio base station 30A, radio base station 30B) corresponds to a radio base station of a mobile communication network. The radio base station 30 receives the monitoring information from the management device 50 and transmits a monitoring instruction for position information to the radio terminal 40 connected to the radio base station 30. In addition, among the position information received from the wireless terminal 40, the position information of the wireless terminal 40 included in the monitoring area is transmitted to the position information collecting apparatus 10.

  The radio terminal 40 acquires location information according to the monitoring instruction from the radio base station 30 and transmits it to the radio base station 30.

  The subscriber information database 7 is a database that stores, for each wireless terminal 40, subscriber information corresponding to the wireless terminal 40, for example, information such as sex, age, and age.

  The position information collection device 10 is a device that stores received position information and outputs information collected according to an input predetermined request signal. In the position information collection device 10, the position information received from the radio base station 30 (the radio base station 30 </ b> A and the radio base station 30 </ b> B) is stored together with the subscriber information of the radio terminal 40 acquired from the subscriber information database 7. Note that the position information collection device 10 may be integrated with the management device 50.

  Next, FIG. 4 shows a configuration example of the management apparatus 50 of the present embodiment. The management device 50 includes a monitoring information receiving unit 51, a radio base station determining unit 52, and a monitoring information transmitting unit 53.

  The monitoring information receiving unit 51 is a part that receives monitoring information such as a monitoring area from the user terminal 6.

  Further, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the position information measurement period and report period are also input from the user terminal 6. The measurement cycle is a cycle in which the wireless terminal 40 measures position information. The reporting period is a period for reporting position information from the wireless terminal 40 to the wireless base station 30. The location information may be reported to the radio base station 30 every time the radio terminal 40 acquires the location information. In this case, traffic from the radio terminal 40 to the radio base station 30 increases. Therefore, in this embodiment, a reporting cycle is provided to reduce traffic. Further, the monitoring start time and the monitoring end time may be designated as the monitoring information.

  The radio base station determination unit 52 is a part that determines the radio base station 30 that collects position information based on the monitoring area. In the present embodiment, one or more measurement cells that cover a point or area designated in the monitoring area are selected. If no measurement cell can be selected, this is notified to the user terminal 6 via the monitoring information receiving unit 51. It is assumed that the management device 50 stores the cell range of each radio base station 30 in advance.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of the relationship between the monitoring area and the radio base station. In this example, the monitoring area is included in the cell of the radio base station 30A and the cell of the radio base station 30B. In the case of this example, the radio base station determining unit 52 determines the radio base station 30A and the radio base station 30B as the radio base station 30 that collects position information. Thus, the radio base station determination unit 52 determines the radio base station 30 that includes at least a part of the monitoring area in the cell as the radio base station 30 that collects position information.

  The monitoring information transmission unit 53 transmits monitoring information such as a monitoring area, a measurement cycle, and a reporting cycle to the radio base station 30 determined by the radio base station determination unit 52.

  Next, FIG. 6 shows a configuration example of the radio base station 30 of the present embodiment. The radio base station 30 according to the present embodiment includes a monitoring information receiving unit 31, a monitoring instruction transmitting unit 32, a position information receiving unit 33, and a position information transmitting unit 34.

  The monitoring information receiving unit 31 is a part that receives monitoring information such as a monitoring area. In the present embodiment, monitoring information is received from the management device 50. In this embodiment, a monitoring area, a measurement cycle, and a report cycle are received as monitoring information.

  The monitoring instruction transmission unit 32 is a part that transmits a monitoring instruction to the wireless terminal 40 connected to itself. As a result, a monitoring instruction is transmitted to the wireless terminal 40 existing within the cell range of the mobile terminal. The monitoring instruction transmission unit 32 transmits a measurement period and a reporting period as a monitoring instruction.

  The position information receiving unit 33 is a part that receives position information from the wireless terminal 40. Also, the position information measurement time is received together with the position information.

  The position information transmission unit 34 is a part that transmits position information included in the monitoring area to the position information collection device 10 among the position information received from the wireless terminal 40.

  Next, FIG. 7 shows a configuration example of the wireless terminal 40 of the present embodiment. The wireless terminal 40 includes a monitoring instruction receiving unit 41, a position information acquiring unit 42, and a position information transmitting unit 43.

  The monitoring instruction receiving unit 41 is a part that receives a position information monitoring instruction from the radio base station 30. The monitoring instruction receiving unit 41 receives a measurement period and a reporting period as a monitoring instruction. Further, the measurement start time and measurement end time may be received.

  The position information acquisition unit 42 is a part that acquires position information of the wireless terminal 40 in accordance with a monitoring instruction. In the present embodiment, position information and measurement time are acquired at a measurement cycle.

  The position information transmission unit 43 is a part that transmits the position information and measurement time acquired by the position information acquisition unit 42 to the radio base station 30. The position information transmission unit 43 transmits the position information and the measurement time at the report cycle. Further, the position information and the measurement time are transmitted also when the wireless base station 30 to be connected changes (at the time of handover).

  Next, a configuration example of the position information collection device 10 of the present embodiment will be described. A configuration example of the position information collection apparatus 10 of the present embodiment is the same as that in FIG.

  The position information receiving unit 11 receives position information and measurement time from the radio base station 30. Also, the identification information of the wireless terminal 40 is received. The location information receiving unit 11 may receive location information from a plurality of radio base stations 30.

  The subscriber information acquisition unit 12 acquires subscriber information corresponding to the received identification information of the wireless terminal 40 from the subscriber information database 7.

  The control unit 13 causes the location information storage unit 14 to store the location information received by the location information receiving unit 11, the measurement time, and the subscriber location information in which the subscriber information acquired by the subscriber information acquisition unit 12 is associated.

  The output unit 15 outputs subscriber location information in response to a predetermined request signal input via the user terminal 6. For example, when the user designates the sex of the subscriber, the subscriber location information corresponding to the gender is output to the user terminal 6.

  By configuring the position information collecting apparatus 10 in this way, the position information collecting apparatus 10 stores the position information of the wireless terminal, the measurement time of the position information, and the subscriber position information in which the subscriber information is associated with the position information. Store in the department. Then, the location information collection device 10 outputs subscriber location information in response to the input predetermined request signal. Therefore, it is possible to provide location information corresponding to subscriber information desired by the user.

  In this embodiment, the management apparatus transmits monitoring information to a radio base station that includes at least a part of the monitoring area in the cell. Therefore, a wireless terminal connected to a wireless base station that does not include the monitoring area in the cell does not collect position information, and the amount of information to be collected can be reduced as compared with the case of acquiring position information of all wireless terminals. It becomes possible.

  In the present embodiment, the position information transmitted from the radio base station to the position information collection device is position information included in the monitoring area. For this reason, the position information collected by the position information collection device is limited to the position information of the monitoring area, and the amount of information to be collected can be further reduced.

  Next, an operation example of the position information collection system of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the user inputs monitoring information (monitoring area information, measurement cycle, reporting cycle) using the user terminal 6 (step S201).

  When receiving the monitoring information from the user terminal 6, the management device 50 determines the radio base station 30 to be monitored based on the monitoring area information. Then, the monitoring information (monitoring area information, measurement cycle, reporting cycle) is transmitted to the determined radio base station 30 (step S202).

  The radio base station 30 transmits a monitoring instruction (measurement cycle, report cycle) to the radio terminal 40 when the radio terminal 40 enters the measurement cell (steps S203 and S204). For example, the monitoring instruction may be transmitted when the wireless base station 30 receives a report of the wireless environment measurement result from the wireless terminal 40 and transmits a handover instruction to the wireless terminal 40. A monitoring instruction is transmitted to the wireless terminal 40 in the measurement cell at the measurement start time at the measurement start time.

  The wireless terminal 40 measures position information at a measurement cycle. Then, in the reporting cycle, the position information acquired during that time and the measurement time of the position information are transmitted to the radio base station 30 (step S205). In the wireless terminal 40, the reported location information is deleted.

  When the radio base station 30 that goes out of the measurement cell and connects to the wireless base station 40 changes (handover), the radio terminal 40 transmits unreported location information and measurement time to the radio base station 30 before the change. (Step S206). For example, when reporting the radio environment measurement result from the radio terminal 40 to the radio base station 30, the position information and the measurement time may be transmitted.

  When the measurement is completed while the wireless terminal 40 is present in the measurement cell, the wireless base station 30 notifies the wireless terminal 40 to that effect, and the wireless terminal 40 notifies the unreported position information and measurement time. Is transmitted to the radio base station 30. Note that the measurement end time may be specified in the monitoring instruction in step S204. In this case, when the measurement end time is reached, the radio terminal 40 transmits unreported position information and measurement time to the radio base station 30.

  When the wireless base station 30 receives the position information when the wireless terminal 40 leaves or the measurement ends, the wireless base station 30 transmits the positional information received from the wireless terminal 40 to the position information collecting apparatus 10 together with the identification information of the wireless terminal 40 (step S207). At this time, only position information belonging to the monitoring area is transmitted to the position information collecting apparatus 10.

  Note that the location information may be transmitted to the location information collection device 10 every time the radio base station 30 receives the location information from the radio terminal 40. However, in the present embodiment, the output of the radio terminal 40 is intended to reduce traffic. This is transmitted to the position information collection device 10 at the end of the area or measurement.

  When receiving the position information from the radio base station 30, the position information collection device 10 acquires subscriber information (gender, age, etc.) corresponding to the identification information of the radio terminal 40 from the subscriber information database 7 (step S208). Then, the location information storage unit 14 stores the location information, the location information measurement time, and the subscriber location information associated with the subscriber information (step S209). The position information may be mapped and stored on a map.

  Then, the location information collection device 10 outputs subscriber location information from the location information storage unit 14 in response to a request input via the user terminal 6 (steps S210 and S211). For example, when the user designates gender, the position information corresponding to the designated gender is acquired from the position information storage unit 14 and output to the user terminal 6. In addition, it is possible to narrow down the location information according to the age of the subscriber, the time zone of the measurement time, and the like.

  By operating the position information collecting apparatus 10 in this way, the position information collecting apparatus 10 stores the position information of the wireless terminal, the position information measurement time, and the subscriber position information in which the subscriber information is associated with the position information. Store in the department. Then, the location information collection device 10 outputs subscriber location information in response to the input predetermined request signal. Therefore, it is possible to provide location information corresponding to subscriber information desired by the user.

  As described above, in the second embodiment of the present invention, as in the first embodiment, the location information of the wireless terminal, the measurement time of the location information, and the subscriber location that associates the subscriber information. The information is stored in the position information storage unit, and the subscriber position information is output according to the inputted predetermined request signal. Therefore, it is possible to provide location information corresponding to subscriber information desired by the user.

  In this embodiment, the management apparatus transmits monitoring information to a radio base station that includes at least a part of the monitoring area in the cell. Therefore, a wireless terminal connected to a wireless base station that does not include the monitoring area in the cell does not collect position information, and the amount of information to be collected can be reduced as compared with the case of acquiring position information of all wireless terminals. It becomes possible.

  In the present embodiment, the position information transmitted from the radio base station to the position information collection device is position information included in the monitoring area. For this reason, the position information collected by the position information collection device is limited to the position information of the monitoring area, and the amount of information to be collected can be further reduced.

[Third embodiment]
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  In the present embodiment, the movement type (transport means used for movement) is estimated based on the moving speed of the wireless terminal 40 calculated from the position information and the measurement time, and is stored in the position information storage unit in association with the position information. . If it does in this way, it will become possible to provide position information for every movement classification to a user. When it is possible to provide location information for each type of movement, for example, the location information of people walking on the road for the purpose of opening a commercial facility, or the location information of a car for the purpose of road maintenance. It becomes possible to use the position information of the moving means suitable for the.

  First, FIG. 9 shows a configuration example of the position information collection device 20 of the present embodiment.

  The movement type estimation unit 26 is a part that calculates the movement speed of the wireless terminal 40 from the position information and time information and estimates the movement type based on the movement speed. The correspondence relationship between the movement speed and the movement type may be stored in the position information collection device 20 in advance, or may be set in the position information collection device 20 by the user via the user terminal 6. Optionally, the user can define a train along the track as a train. FIG. 10 shows an example of the correspondence relationship between the movement speed and the movement type. The speed and the movement type are associated with each other, and when the position information is along the track, the movement type is determined to be a train.

  In the control unit 13, the movement type estimated by the movement type estimation unit 26 is stored in the position information storage unit 14 in association with the position information, measurement time, and subscriber information.

  In the output unit 15, when the user designates the movement type, the position information corresponding to the designated movement type is acquired from the position information storage unit 14 and output.

  By configuring the position information collecting device 20 in this way, the position information collecting device 20 stores the position information of the wireless terminal, the position information measurement time, and the subscriber position information in which the subscriber information is associated with the position information. Store in the department. Then, the location information collection device 20 outputs subscriber location information according to the input predetermined request signal. Therefore, it is possible to provide location information corresponding to subscriber information desired by the user.

  In the present embodiment, the moving speed is further calculated from the position information and the measurement time, and the moving type is estimated from the moving speed. Therefore, when the user requests information on a specific movement type, it is possible to output position information corresponding to the estimated movement type.

  Next, an operation example of the position information collection device 20 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Step S301 in FIG. 11 is performed between step S102 and step S103 in FIG. Note that this step may be performed between step S101 and step S102 in FIG. 2, simultaneously with step S102, and after step S103.

  When receiving the position information and the measurement time from the radio base station 30, the position information collection device 20 calculates the movement speed from the position information and the measurement time, and estimates the movement type (step S301). In step S <b> 103, the position information collection device 20 stores the movement type in the position information storage unit 14 in association with the position information, measurement time, and subscriber information. When step S301 is performed after step S103, the movement type is stored in the position information storage unit 14 in association with the position information, measurement time, and subscriber information in step S301.

  By operating the location information collection device 20 in this way, the location information collection device 20 stores the location information of the wireless terminal, the location information measurement time, and the subscriber location information in which the subscriber information is associated with the location information. Store in the department. Then, the location information collection device 20 outputs subscriber location information according to the input predetermined request signal.
