FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating the configuration of the stay information database 122 (stay information VI). FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of the statistical information database 124 (statistical information SI).

  Prior to the description of the flowchart of the update process, the configuration of the stay information VI and the statistical information SI will be described. As shown in FIG. 6, the stay information VI includes a plurality of stay information elements VE (VE1, VE2, VE3, VE4, VE5,...) Each corresponding to one stay in the cell C by the user apparatus 100.

For example, the statistical information element SE1 for the cell Ca is calculated based on the stay information elements VE1 and VE5 corresponding to the stay in the cell Ca. Each statistical information element SE includes a plurality of information items such as a cell identifier CID and an average staying time length.

The update trigger detection unit 132 detects various events that occur in the user device 100 as update triggers (S10). Non-limiting examples of events that serve as update triggers are given below.
User apparatus 100 has been handed over from the first cell C1 to the second cell C2 (update opportunity A)
-The display of the user device 100 has transitioned to the on state (update opportunity B)
-User device 100 is being charged and inactive (update opportunity C)
Instructed to shut down the OS of the user device 100 (update opportunity D)
-A statistical information request (described later) was detected (update opportunity E)
・ Predetermined time (for example, 3:00 am) has arrived (update opportunity F)

  The update instruction unit 134 instructs the database control unit 136 to update the statistical information element SE for one or more specific cell identifiers CID or all cell identifiers CID based on the update trigger detected by the update trigger detection unit 132. (S20). For example, when the update opportunity A is detected, the update instruction unit 134 instructs to update the cell identifier CID of the first cell C1 and the cell identifier CID of the second cell C2, which are the cells C before and after the handover. When the update opportunity B is detected, the update instruction unit 134 instructs to update the cell identifier CID of the cell C where the user apparatus 100 is staying. When the update opportunity E is detected, the update instruction unit 134 instructs to update the cell identifier CID indicated by the statistical information request. When update triggers C, D, and F are detected, the update instruction unit 134 instructs to update all cell identifiers CID. As understood from the above, the update instruction includes the update instruction for the statistical information element SE for the specific cell identifier CID (specific update instruction) and the update instruction for the statistical information element SE for all the cell identifiers CID (update instruction for all cases). ).

  Here, “all cell identifiers CID” means cells obtained by removing duplicate cell identifiers CID from a plurality of cell identifiers CID indicated by all stay information elements VE included in the stay information database 122 (stay information VI). Indicates the identifier CID. That is, in “all cell identifiers CID”, there is only one cell identifier CID (unique). For example, in FIG. 6, “all cell identifiers CID” are three cell identifiers CID (Ca, Cb, Cc) obtained by removing duplicates from five cell identifiers CID (Ca, Cb, Cc, Cb, Ca). is there.

  When the update instruction unit 134 instructs to update the statistical information element SE for the specific cell identifier CID (S30; specific update), the database control unit 136 selects the stay information element VE having the specified specific cell identifier CID. Obtained from the stay information database 122 (stay information VI), the statistical information element SE is calculated for each cell identifier CID (S40). For example, the database control unit 136 calculates the average stay time length by averaging the stay time lengths indicated by the stay information elements VE for each of the specific cell identifiers CID.

  On the other hand, when the update instructing unit 134 instructs to update the statistical information element SE for all the cell identifiers CID (S30; all cases updated), the database control unit 136 stores all the information from the stay information database 122 (stay information VI). The stay information element VE is acquired, all the cell identifiers CID included in the acquired stay information element VE are extracted without duplication (uniquely), and the statistical information element SE is calculated for each extracted cell identifier CID (S50). ).

  When step S40 or step S50 ends, the database control unit 136 updates the statistical information database 124 (statistical information SI) in units of cell identifiers CID using the statistical information element SE calculated in units of cell identifiers CID (S60). ).

1 (3) -2. Processing for Statistical Information Request Next, processing for statistical information request will be described below. In summary, the statistical information acquisition unit 138 acquires the statistical information element SE based on an instruction from a module (for example, a module that displays an advertisement corresponding to a position) in the user device 100 that uses the statistical information element SE. Provide to that module. Here, the instruction from the above module includes a cell identifier CID corresponding to one or more statistical information elements SE to be acquired.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing processing relating to the request for the statistical information element SE. The statistical information acquisition unit 138 requests the statistical information element SE corresponding to the notified cell identifier CID by notifying the database control unit 136 of one or more cell identifiers CID (S110).

  When the cell identifier CID is notified from the statistical information acquisition unit 138, the database control unit 136 searches the statistical information database 124 (statistical information SI) using the notified cell identifier CID. When there is a statistical information element SE corresponding to the notified cell identifier CID (S120; YES), the database control unit 136 acquires the retrieved statistical information element SE and provides it to the statistical information acquisition unit 138 (S130). ).

  On the other hand, when the statistical information element SE corresponding to the cell identifier CID notified from the statistical information acquisition unit 138 is not included in the statistical information database 124 (statistical information SI) (S120; NO), the database control unit 136 acquires the statistical information element SE. A signal indicating the absence of the power statistical information element SE is transmitted to the statistical information acquisition unit 138 (S140).

  When the above signal is received, the statistical information acquisition unit 138 notifies the update trigger detection unit 132 of a statistical information request for requesting acquisition of the statistical information element SE for the notified cell identifier CID (S150). The update opportunity detection unit 132 detects the notified statistical information request as an update opportunity (S160). The update instruction unit 134 instructs to update the statistical information element SE for the cell identifier CID indicated by the above statistical information request based on the detected update trigger (S170). Upon receiving the above instruction, the database control unit 136 acquires the stay information element VE corresponding to the instructed cell identifier CID from the stay information database 122 (stay information VI), and obtains the statistical information element SE for each cell identifier CID. It calculates and provides to the statistical information acquisition part 138 (S180). After that, the database control unit 136 may or may not update the statistical information database 124 using the calculated statistical information element SE.

1 (4). Effects of this embodiment According to the above configuration, the update of the statistical information SI based on the stay information VI is more appropriately executed. More specifically, since the stay information database 122 that stores the stay information element VE and the statistical information database 124 that stores the statistical information element SE are provided separately, the statistical information element is changed from the stay information element VE to each time there is a request. Compared with the configuration in which the SE is calculated, the response is improved and the processing load is reduced. Further, since it is determined whether to update a specific cell identifier CID or to update all cases according to the detected update opportunity, the update of all cases in the statistical information database 124 is executed for each update opportunity. In comparison, the above technical effects become more prominent.

2. Modifications The above embodiment can be variously modified. Specific modifications are exemplified below. Two or more aspects arbitrarily selected from the above embodiments and the following examples can be appropriately combined as long as they do not contradict each other.

For example, the type of wireless system in cell C (LTE, 3G, wireless LAN, etc.), wireless LAN connection history (present / not present), operating state (active / inactive), charged state (changed to charged state during stay) ), Battery level (remaining battery level at the start or end of stay), communication status (whether or not the wireless communication status has been changed during stay), location characteristics (home, work) Destination, railway station, etc.), day of the week (stay day) of staying in cell C, time zone of staying in cell C (staying time zone), number of times of wireless communication performed during stay of cell C, and user device 100 frequently The distance from the base cell where the user stays (for example, the cell C corresponding to the user's home) is shown as an example of the information item. All or part of the above information items may be included in the stay information element VE.

  Each statistical information element SE may include information items other than the information items shown in FIG.

All or part of the above information items may be included in the statistical information element SE.

2 (2). Modification 2
In step S10, an arbitrary event can be detected as an update opportunity. For example, the update opportunity detection unit 132 determines that the user device 100 is being charged, is in an inactive state, and the location characteristics of the cell C that is staying are “home” or “workplace”. You may detect as an update opportunity for matter update. According to the above configuration, there is a possibility that the user is not using the user device 100 and the user device 100 is being charged by the power supplied from the fixed power supply instead of from the portable charging device. In the high state, all cases of the statistical information database 124 are updated. As a result, adverse effects on service quality caused by a decrease in response and an increase in power consumption due to the update of all cases can be suppressed.

2 (3). Modification 3

  When the statistical information element SE corresponding to the cell identifier CID notified from the statistical information acquisition unit 138 is not included in the statistical information database 124 (statistical information SI) (S120; NO), the database control unit 136 notifies the notified cell. A statistical information request for requesting acquisition of the statistical information element SE for the identifier CID is notified to the update trigger detection unit 132 (S142). The update opportunity detector 132 detects the notified statistical information request as an update opportunity (S152). The update instructing unit 134 instructs to update the cell identifier CID indicated by the statistical information request based on the detected update trigger (S162).

  Upon receiving the above instruction, the database control unit 136 acquires the stay information element VE corresponding to the instructed cell identifier CID from the stay information database 122 (stay information VI), and obtains the statistical information element SE for each cell identifier CID. The statistical information element SE corresponding to the specified cell identifier CID in the statistical information database 124 is updated by calculation (S172). Thereafter, the database control unit 136 supplies the updated statistical information element SE to the statistical information acquisition unit 138.
