  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a display example of the display screen of the smartphone. In FIG. 10, a person photo and the name of the person are displayed. Here, for example, if the part of the button 81 displayed on the screen is touched, an SNS (Social Network Service) can be accessed and a new member addition process can be performed. Further, for example, if the part of the button 82 displayed on the screen is touched, the blog service can be accessed and the contents of the diary can be updated. Furthermore, for example, if the part of the button 83 displayed on the screen is touched, the SNS can be accessed and the profile picture can be updated.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a process of synchronizing phone book information in cooperation with SNS or the like. In FIG. 11, the feature phone 21 and the smartphone 22 have the same user name. The smartphone 22 can be connected to the Internet 100 via a radio base station device 20b, a packet switch 30b, and an external GW device 80 in a 3G (3rd Generation) network 200. In the Internet 100, services such as a blog service, a tweet service, a web album service, and an SNS are provided by a content provider (hereinafter abbreviated as CP).

  Here, let us consider a case in which another user updates his / her contact information with the personal computer (hereinafter abbreviated as PC) 10 or the smartphone 91 in the SNS. In such a case, the smartphone 22 can synchronize the phone book information in cooperation with the SNS.

(Operation example by phonebook information synchronization system)
In FIG. 5 and FIG. 9 referred to in the following description, double-line arrows indicate transmission paths based on the user plane (U-Plane), and other arrows indicate transmission paths based on the control plane (C-Plane). ing.

  The user α owns the feature phone 21 and the smartphone 22. The phone number of the feature phone 21 is “No. B”, and the phone number of the smartphone 22 is “No. A”. Further, a user β (for example, a friend of the user α) different from the user α owns the PC 10. Then, the user β operates the PC 10, connects to the Internet, and accesses the CP 90 (step S101). This access is performed by HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) communication. Note that instead of the PC 10, a tablet terminal or another smartphone may be operated to connect to the Internet. As a result, the phone book information held in the CP 90 is changed (step S102).

  Here, for example, if the account information in the SNS is updated as a result of the user α operating the smartphone 22 and accessing the SNS by the CP 90, the user α recognizes that the user α has been updated. Instead, the following operations are performed. For example, consider the case where the phone book information is updated as shown by the arrows in FIG. That is, in FIG. 6, among the phone book information registered in the SNS “Fusebook”, the telephone number (TEL) of the name “XX XX” is changed from “0X0-XXXX-0002” to “0X0-XXXX-1234”. Consider a case where the email address (Mail) has been changed from “●● hatmeil.com” to “●● gmeil.com”.

  Returning to FIG. 5, in such a case, when the user α accesses the SNS from the smartphone 22, the following processing is performed. That is, first, by the operation of the user α, the smartphone 22 transmits a connection request to the CP 90 on the Internet (Steps S103a, S103b, and S103c). When a connection request response is returned from the CP 90 in response to this connection request (steps S104a, S104b, S104c), HTTP communication is started (step S105). By this HTTP communication, the information registered in the SNS and the information held in the smartphone 22 are synchronized. First, when the CP 90 recognizes a connection from the smartphone 22 (step S106), the CP 90 notifies the smartphone 22 of the updated content by HTTP communication (step S107). The smartphone 22 that has received this notification updates the phone book information (step S108). Through the above processing, the updated phone book information is held in the smartphone 22.

  When the user α uses the data storage service, the phone book information held in the smartphone 22 is regularly backed up in the smartphone phone book server device 70. The following processing is started for backup, triggered by the arrival of the backup period of the telephone directory information (step S109). When the backup cycle arrives, the smartphone telephone directory server device 70 transmits a backup request for the telephone number “No. A” to the packet-switched GW device 40 (step S110). This backup request is, for example, a packet in which the telephone number “No. A” is added to the payload, as shown in FIG. The packet switching GW apparatus 40 that has received this backup request transmits a subscriber information call request for the telephone number “No. A” to the subscriber information management server apparatus 50 (step S111).

  The subscriber information management server device 50 that has received the subscriber information call request for the telephone number “No. A” checks the line information subscriber information for the subscriber with the telephone number “No. A”, that is, the user α. (Step S112). First, the subscriber information management server device 50 confirms whether the contractor of the telephone number “No. A”, that is, the user α has contracted a plurality of lines with the same name (step S113). When a plurality of lines are not contracted under the same name, the subscriber information management server device 50 transmits a response (existing response) to that effect to the packet-switched GW device 40 (step S113 → S113 ′).

  In this example, the line information contractor information for the contractor of the telephone number “No. A”, that is, the user α is as shown in FIG. That is, in FIG. 8, for the user α who is a contractor, the terminal identification number of “smartphone” is the telephone number “No. A”, the terminal identification number of “Feature phone” is the telephone number “No. B”, The terminal identification number “smartphone” is associated with “No. C”. Therefore, the subscriber information management server device 50 can determine that the contractor of the telephone number “No. A”, that is, the user α has contracted a plurality of lines with the same name.

  Therefore, the subscriber information management server device 50 next checks whether there is a profile in which the feature phone is associated with the contracted line number (steps S113 → S114). If there is no profile in which the feature phone is associated with the contracted line number, the subscriber information management server device 50 transmits a response (existing response) to that effect to the packet-switched GW device 40 (step S114 → S114 ').

In this example, in FIG. 8, there is a profile in which a feature phone and a contracted line number are associated with a user α who is a contractor. Accordingly, the subscriber information management server device 50 can determine that there is a profile in which the feature phone and the contracted line number are associated with the contractor of the telephone number “No. A”, that is, the user α.
Therefore, the subscriber information management server device 50 next checks whether there is a custody service contract related to the data in the phone book of the feature phone on the contracted line (steps S114 → S115). When there is no custody service contract for the data in the telephone book, the subscriber information management server device 50 transmits a response to that effect (existing response) to the packet-switched GW device 40 (step S115 → S115 ′).

  In this example, it is assumed that there is a custody service contract regarding the data in the phone book of the feature phone (steps S115 → S116), and the subscriber information management server device 50 sends a callee information call request response to the packet-switched GW device 40. Transmit (step S116 → S117). This callee information call request response is given a synchronization flag and a telephone number (No. B) associated with the feature phone for updating the phone book of the feature phone. This called party information call request response is, for example, a packet in which a synchronization flag and a telephone number “No. B” are added to the payload, as shown in FIG.

The synchronization flag is a flag assigned by the subscriber information management server device 50 in order to synchronize the phone book information between the feature phone phone book server device 60 and the smartphone phone book server device 70. It is.
The packet switching GW apparatus 40 that has received the callee information call request response transmits a backup request to which the synchronization flag and the telephone number (No. B) are assigned to the packet switch 30 (step S118). Receiving this backup request, the packet switch 30 holds the synchronization flag and telephone number (No. B) given to the backup request (step S119). Then, the packet switch 30 transmits a backup request to which the synchronization flag and the telephone number (No. B) are assigned to the smartphone 22 (step S120).

  Upon receiving this backup request, the smartphone 22 confirms whether or not the feature phone attached to the telephone number (No. B) needs to be updated by a pop-up display and notifies the user α of the update request flag when updating (step S121). ). At this time, after the pop-up display is performed, when an operation requiring update is performed by the user α, the smartphone 22 transmits a packet connection request with the update request flag added to the packet switch 30 (step S122). . This packet connection request is, for example, a packet in which an update request flag is added to the payload, as shown in FIG.

The processing shifts to FIG. 9, and the packet switch 30 confirms the presence or absence of an update request flag, and if there is an update request flag, connects the held synchronization flag and telephone number (No. B) to the telephone directory server. If the update request flag is not present, the synchronization flag and the telephone number (No. B) are discarded (step S123).
The packet switch 30 transmits a packet connection request to which the synchronization flag and the telephone number (No. B) are assigned to the packet switched GW apparatus 40 (step S124). The packet connection request is, for example, a packet in which a synchronization flag and a telephone number “No. B” are added to the payload as shown in FIG. This packet connection request is transmitted to the smartphone telephone directory server device 70 via the packet switching GW device 40 (step S125).

  The smartphone phone book server device 70 that has received the packet connection request updates the phone book information about the user α (step S126). As a result of this update, it is determined whether there is a difference in information compared to before the update (step S127). If there is a difference in information, the smartphone telephone directory server device 70 determines whether a synchronization flag is added to the packet connection request (steps S128 → S129). If the synchronization flag is added to the packet connection request, the smartphone phone book server device 70 transmits a backup processing instruction to the feature phone phone book server device 60 (step S130). Information on the telephone number (No. B) is added to this backup processing instruction. This backup processing instruction is, for example, a packet in which the telephone number “No. B” is added to the payload, as shown in FIG.

If there is no difference in step S128, the process ends (step S128 → S128 ′). If the synchronization flag is not given to the packet connection request in step S129, the process ends (step S129 → S129 ′).
When the feature phone phone book server device 60 receives the backup processing instruction, HTTP communication is started between the feature phone phone book server device 60 and the smartphone phone book server device 70, and the phone book data is synchronized. (Step S131).

  The feature phone telephone directory server device 60 that has received the backup processing instruction to which the telephone number (No. B) information is added is stored in the feature phone and the contents of the phone book information held in the smartphone. In order to make the contents of the telephone directory information the same, a backup request to which the telephone number (No. B) information is added is transmitted to the packet switching GW apparatus 40 (step S132). The packet-switched GW apparatus 40 that has received this backup request transmits a called party information call request to which the telephone number (No. B) is added to the subscriber information management server apparatus 50 (step S133). The subscriber information management server device 50 that has received the callee information call request calls the location information for the telephone number (No. B) information (step S134), and uses the packet exchange GW device 40 as a callee information call request response. (Step S135). The packet-switched GW apparatus 40 that has received the callee information call request response transmits a backup request to the feature phone 21 (steps S136a and S136b).

  When the feature phone 21 receives the backup request, the feature phone 21 transmits a packet connection request to the phone book server device 60 for feature phone (steps S137a, S137b, and S137c). Receiving this packet connection request, the feature phone telephone directory server device 60 updates the telephone directory information (step S138) and transmits a packet connection request response (steps S139a, S139b, and S139c).

  The feature phone 21 that has received this packet connection request response starts HTTP communication with the feature phone telephone directory server device 60 (step S140). Thereby, update processing of the phone book information including the SNS synchronization data of the feature phone 21 is performed, and the phone book information held in the feature phone 21 is updated (step S141).

By performing the processing as described above, automatic update of the phone book information of the smartphone by the SNS can be performed also for the feature phone.
Here, in the network of feature phones, a Push-type mail system that transmits an SMS message when an incoming call is received is adopted. This SMS message may be transmitted using either C-Plane or U-Plane. Then, a system is adopted in which a mail is obtained by accessing the network from a feature phone that has received an SMS message. Then, as described above, a backup request is periodically transmitted for the phone book information to perform an update process. For this reason, even if the feature phone is located outside the wireless service area corresponding to the wireless base station device, that is, out of the service area, the feature phone can receive a message by SMS when it returns to the area, that is, within the service area. Update phone book information.
