The data transmitting / receiving unit 26 is connected to the same data memory 30 nationwide and the data memory 31 for each radio base station, and stores the database 42 of the information center 40, the contents of which are the information data search circuit at the request of the terminal 1. Searched via 29. Also, the R connected to the CPU 21
The OM 23 stores a program for processing transmission / reception and other functions in a predetermined flow.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described with reference to the explanatory view of FIG. 5 and the flow charts of FIGS. First, the procedure for referring to the information database will be described with reference to FIG. When the power switch 10 (FIG. 2) of the communication terminal 1 is closed, the terminal 1 is in the operating state. When the call switch 5a is pressed and the information service request key 7c is pressed,
An information reference request (50) is transmitted from the terminal 1, and the wireless base station 20 drives the information data search circuit 29 in response to the request and opens the nationwide same data memory 30 or the data memory 31 for each wireless base station. Communication for reference is started (52), and when the reference is completed, the call key 5a of the terminal 1 is pressed to disconnect the communication and end.

Next, an information database input / update procedure will be described. The information center 40 calls the wireless base station 20 (54, 55) via the communication carrier network 41 in a time zone such as midnight when the usage of the telephone line is small, and waits for a response from the wireless base station 20 ( 56, 57), the communication path is established and the data is updated (58).

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the flow chart. In FIG. 6, the wireless base station 20 holds the standby state (120) when there is no information input request from the information center (121) and no information reference request from the mobile terminal 1 (122). , Information center 40
When the information data input request is received from (121), the process proceeds to step E.

In FIG. 7, the radio base station 20 responds to the information data input request from the information center 40 (123), enters the information data waiting state (124) from the information center 40, and receives the same national data (125). Stored in the same data memory 30 (FIG. 7) in the previous section (12
6) Then, when the data for each radio base station is received (127), it is stored in the data memory 31 for each radio base station (1
28) and ends (129).

When the data of each radio base station is not received (127), it is judged whether the communication is disconnected (130). When you are talking (13
1).

Now, returning to FIG. 6 again, the information center 40
If the information reference request is received from the mobile communication terminal 1 (122) in a state where the request for inputting the information data from (121) has not been received, the process proceeds to step F. In FIG. 8, the wireless base station 20 responds to the information reference request from the mobile communication terminal, and indicates to the display unit 4 of the terminal 1 "Please indicate # 00 for national data and # 11 for base station data." After displaying, an inquiry is made to the terminal as to whether to nationwide data reference or data reference for each base station (132), and an information number waiting state for reference (133) is entered.

If there is no request for the reference desired information type from the terminal 1 (134, 135), it is judged whether the reference of the terminal 1 is completed or not by the operation of the terminal 1 (136), and If it is in the operating state, the process returns to step G and the standby state (133) is held. When the terminal is not in the operating state, the call ends (137).

When the signal of the desired reference information type is received from the communication terminal 1 (134), the process proceeds to step H. The data is sent to the terminal 1, the information number and the desired reference information list are displayed on the display unit of the terminal, and the desired reference information number is inquired to the terminal (138). The information number is read from the display unit 4 of the terminal 1 and the number is transmitted, but if the wireless base station 20 does not receive the number (139), the call ends (140).

The signal for designating the information number is received (139).
Then, the information data retrieval circuit 29 of the radio base station 20A retrieves the desired information for reference from the same national data memory 30 (141), and transmits the retrieved information to the mobile communication terminal 1 (142) for reference. Waiting for desired type (13
3).

Here, returning to FIG. 8 again, when the reference desired information is not national data (134) and the terminal 1 specifies the data for each radio base station (135), the process proceeds to step I. In FIG. 10, the wireless base station 20B inquires of the terminal 1 about the reference desired information (143), and if the information number from the terminal 1 is not received, the call is terminated (145), but if the information number is received (144), The information data search circuit 29 searches the data for each wireless base station (14
6) Then, the retrieved information is transmitted to the terminal 1 (147), and the desired reference type waiting state is entered (133).

As described above, according to the information service system of the embodiment, not only the national data but also the data of each radio base station is stored in the database in the memory provided in the radio base station and the database is accessed. Since the information is provided to the communication terminal by the wireless base station, unique information such as events and traffic conditions for each area around the wireless base station is provided from the wireless base station, which is useful for activating the area around the wireless base station.

Since each wireless base station has a database and wirelessly provides information to the terminals, it is not necessary to access the information center from the wireless base station via the network of the communication carrier, Service time can be shortened and the cost of using communication lines can be reduced. further,
In addition to shortening the time required for information services, data input / update is performed during the hours when telephone line usage is low, such as in the middle of the night, so there is no burden on the network of the telecommunications carrier.

[0035]

As described above, the present invention stores a database in the memory provided in the relay base station and accesses the database to provide information to the communication base station. There is no need to access the information center via the network of the telecommunications carrier, the time for information service is shortened, and the cost of using the communication line can be reduced. Further, since the data provided for each relay base station is stored in the database in the memory provided in the relay base station and the database is accessed to provide the information to the communication terminal, the data for each area around the relay base station is provided. Unique information such as events and traffic conditions will be provided by the relay base station, which will help revitalize the area around the relay base station. And so on.
