Mobile communications terminal, service area calculation apparatus and method of calculating service area
First Claim
1. A mobile communications terminal adapted to communicate with a service area calculation apparatus via a first mobile communication network, the service area calculation apparatus collecting and transmitting information concerning a service area provided by the first mobile communication network and a second mobile communication network including a base station, the mobile communications terminal comprising:
- a positional information generator configured to generate positional information indicating a current position of the terminal;
a receiver which receives identification information sent from the base station of the second mobile communication network;
a notification information generator configured to generate notification information including the identification information and the positional information generated at the time of receiving the identification information; and
a transmitter which transmits the notification information to the service area calculation apparatus via the first mobile communication network to derive the information concerning the service area.
