Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration example of a mobile communication area management system. The mobile communication area management system shown in FIG. 1 reduces the load on a workstation (hereinafter, referred to as a database server: a third computer) that supervises and manages the management data of the mobile communication area. Is a client / server system composed of a plurality of personal computers (first computer) and a plurality of workstations (hereinafter, referred to as client: second computer) that distribute the client.

In this figure, C is a center for managing the measured area data, and includes a personal computer 1 (computer 1), a client 2 (computer 2), a database server 3 (computer 3), a hub 4 and a gateway 5. (Interconnect device).

The personal computer 1 has area measurement data indicating the reception electric field strength of a radio wave transmitted by a mobile communication base station (not shown), and position data (latitude / longitude information, etc.) indicating the measurement position of the reception electric field strength of the radio wave. And manage.
Further, the personal computer 1 transfers the area data including the area measurement data and the position data to the client 2 via the hub 4.

The hub 4 includes the personal computer 1 and
In communication performed between the client 2 and the database server 3, signal relay and distribution are performed.

The client 2 performs data editing of the input area data, performs processing for data registration,
The area measurement data and the position data are written and registered in the area management database in the storage unit of the database server 3. Further, the client 2 has map data of an area where the received electric field strength is measured. Further, the client 2 can display the installation position and the area map of the base station on the map displayed on the screen of the client 2 by accessing the database server 3.

The database server 3 includes equipment data unique to the base station having at least identification data of the base station, data of the installation position of the base station, transmission output data of the base station, and the like, and numerical values of the latitude and longitude of the installation point of the base station. The storage unit stores a base station equipment management database composed of data, an area identification database having area identification data, and area management data classified according to the area identification data.

The gateway 5 mutually connects networks having different protocols (communication rules), and identifies a user accessing the network by a registration number.

D1 is a sales office and has at least a client 6. Similarly, D2 is a sales office and has at least a client 7. The client 6 and the client 7 store an area map of the received electric field strength of the radio wave in the storage unit.

The client 6 can access the database server 3 via the hub 4 at any time to retrieve necessary base station equipment management data and area management data. That is, the client 6 can always display the latest area map on the display screen based on each data extracted from the database server 3.

Similarly, the client 7 can access the database server 3 at any time via the hub 4 and retrieve necessary base station equipment management data and area management data. That is, the client 7 can always display the latest area map on the display screen by using each data extracted from the database server 3.

The gateway 5 is interposed between the database server 3 and the network server 8 and interconnects a network centered on the center C and another network.

For example, assuming that the other network is the Internet I, the network server 8 is an Internet multimedia server and responds to a user's request by using search software stored in the storage unit.
Searches for moving image data, still image data, audio data, text data, and the like requested by the user, which are stored in the storage unit of the network server 8 or the storage unit of the database server 3, and provides the search result to the user.

The gateway 5 is accessed through a network server 8 and used by general users.
The personal computer 9 used in the office F, the personal computer 10 used in the home U1, the personal computer 11 used in the home U2 and the personal computer 12 used in the home U3, and the personal computer T managing the center. The personal computer 13 to be used is identified by the registration number given to each.

Here, access to the database server 3 is performed by a general user's personal computer 9 or 1.
0, 11 or 12, the information on the Internet I is open to the public in principle.
Performs line processing so that only the public information stored in the storage unit of the database server 3 can be accessed.

Further, when the gateway 5 is accessed by the personal computer 13 of the communication carrier T managing the center C, the gateway 5 can access the data of the non-public information stored in the storage unit of the database server 3 so that it can be accessed. Perform processing.

Next, the operation of the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. For example, when the user of the mobile terminal of the home U1 wants to check the area data, the user accesses the network server 8 by the personal computer 10.

Here, from among the area data stored in the storage unit of the database server 3, the manager of the center C transmits the public information to the general user in order to promote the serviceability of the mobile communication. Is registered in the network server 8 to create a homepage of the mobile communication service.

Thus, the user of the mobile terminal at home U1 can search for necessary public information data and area map data by opening the homepage on the network server 8. As a result, the area map is displayed on the display unit of the personal computer 10 together with the update date of the area data.

When the user wants to check the area data not registered on the home page, the user of the mobile communication terminal searches the personal computer 10 for information data necessary for the database server 3. Then, the gateway 5 confirms that the user is a general user based on the registration number of the personal computer 10, and performs a process of connecting a line only when accessing the public information.

When the user accesses the non-public information, the gateway 5 connects to the personal computer 1.
Deny access from 0. Similarly, the personal computer 9 in the office F, the personal computer 11 in the home U2, and the personal computer 1 in the home U3
The gateway 5 performs the same processing for the access from the personal computer 10 of the home U1 to the access to the database server 3 from the home server 2.

Further, the communication carrier T managing the center C
Access the gateway 5 from the personal computer 13 connected to a network different from the network of the Internet I, and
With the registered number 3, the database server 3 of the center C can be accessed.

According to the present invention, an area map of a service area of a mobile terminal that is highly interested in a user can be provided on the Internet I, so that the user does not need to go to a business office to check, and the service for the user is improved. I do. Also,
Since a large number of people can check the information desired for the mobile terminal via various networks, the effect of advertising the mobile terminal to general users is extremely large. Further, by providing an identification function for identifying a registration number of a user accessing the gateway 5, discrimination of data that can access the database server 3 between a general user and a specific user (such as a communication carrier) is provided. Can be done.
