The control module of the address information selection server 132 selects a location factor collection area (in-building residence) for collection of location factors, and when the late-night time arrives, the subscriber address information of the mobile communication service is located in the location factor collection area. After extraction, it checks whether the subscriber address information of the mobile communication service and the current location of the mobile communication terminal 110 match. As a result of the check, when the subscriber address information and the current location of the mobile communication terminal 110 coincide, the address information selection server 132 extracts a latitude / longitude value corresponding to the subscriber address information of the mobile communication service, In conjunction with 120, the MIN of the mobile communication terminal 110 is extracted and transmitted to the position factor collection server 134.

Here, a detailed operation description of the address information selection server 132 and a method of confirming the current location of the mobile communication terminal 110 by the address information selection server 132 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2.

Here, the location factor extracted from the PSMM message by the control module of the location factor collection server 134 is data that is heavily influenced by the location of the base station, the location of the repeater, and the location of the new building in the region, and quickly reflects the external environment. In order to update, it is preferable to manage in conjunction with an external base station operation management system.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for collecting location factors in a building using a mobile communication terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

The address information selection server 132 selects a location factor collection area (in-building residence) for collecting location factors (S210).

For example, the address information selection server 132 may select a location factor collection area for collecting location factors as 'Yangsam-dong, Gangnam-gu'.

The address information selection server 132 checks whether the late night time has arrived (S220).

In this case, the address information selection server 132 checks whether the late night time has arrived, since the mobile communication service subscribers usually reside in the residential area during the late night time, and the late night time is generally used for most people. It is preferable that the bedtime time is 02 am to 04 am, but this is merely illustrative of the technical idea of the present invention, and those skilled in the art do not depart from the essential characteristics of the present invention. It will be applicable to various modifications and variations of the late night time in the range.

As a result of checking in step S220, when the late-night time arrives, the address information selection server 132 extracts the subscriber address information of the mobile communication service in the location factor collection area, and then the subscriber address information of the mobile communication service and the mobile communication terminal 110; Check whether or not the current position of the match (S230).

For example, when the late-night time (02:04 o'clock) arrives, the address information selection server 132 in conjunction with the mobile communication network 120, the subscriber address information of the mobile communication service in the location factor collection area (Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu) Extract

Here, when the subscriber address information of the mobile communication service is assumed to be 'A apartment 101 101 503', the address information selection server 132 collects PN information that can be received in the 'A apartment' in cooperation with the mobile communication network 120. PN information received by the mobile communication terminal 110 by comparing the PN information received by the mobile communication terminal 110 by transmitting a location update command to the mobile communication terminal 110 of the service subscriber. Is identical to the PN information that can be received in the 'A apartment', the address information selection server 132 determines that the mobile communication terminal 110 resides in the address information of the service subscriber (A apartment 101, 503). .

That is, when it is assumed that the PN information that can be received in the 'A apartment' is 230, 250, and 270, and the PN information received by the mobile subscriber terminal 110 of the service subscriber is 230, the address information selection server 132 ) Determines that the mobile communication terminal 110 resides in the address information of the service subscriber.

As a result of checking in step S230, when the subscriber address information and the current position of the mobile subscriber station 110 of the service subscriber match, the address information selection server 132 obtains a latitude / longitude value corresponding to the subscriber address information of the mobile communication service. Extract it and transmit it to the location factor collection server 134 (S240).

That is, the address information selection server 132 extracts the latitude / longitude values of 'A Apartment 101 Dong 503, Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu'. Here, the address information selection server 132 uses a database in which the latitude / longitude values for the location factor collection region are stored to extract latitude / longitude values corresponding to subscriber address information of the mobile communication service, or provides location-based services. It may be linked to a location determination server (not shown), which is merely illustrative of the technical idea of the present invention, and those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention. The method of extracting the latitude / longitude value corresponding to the subscriber address information in the range of not being applied may be variously modified and modified.

The address information selection server 132 interoperates with the mobile communication network 120 and extracts the MIN of the mobile subscriber station 110 of the service subscriber and transmits the MIN to the location factor collection server 134 (S250).

The location factor collection server 134 receives the latitude / longitude value of the address information and the MIN for the mobile communication terminal 110 from the address information selection server 132 and transmits a PMRO message to the mobile communication terminal 110. (S260).

The mobile communication terminal 110 receiving the PMRO message from the location factor collection server 134 generates a general PSMM message defined by the IS-801 standard and transmits it to the location factor collection server 134.

The location factor collection server 134 receives a PSMM message from the mobile communication terminal 110 (S270).

The location factor collection server 134 extracts location factors including RTD, Ec / Io, PN_Phase, MSC ID and Serving Cell ID from the PSMM message received from the mobile communication terminal 110 (S280).

That is, the PSMM message generated by the mobile communication terminal 110 is a general message defined by the IS-801 standard, and the position factor collection server 134 is a RTD, Ec / Io, PN_Phase, MSC ID and Serving from the PSMM message. It extracts Cell ID.

The location factor collection server 134 databases the extracted location factor by matching the latitude / longitude value corresponding to the subscriber address information of the mobile communication service with the MIN of the mobile communication terminal 110 (S290).

The above description is merely illustrative of the technical idea of the present invention, and those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains may make various modifications and changes without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention.
