Terminal position managing server, access point, and call control server
First Claim
1. A position managing server that manages a position of a mobile terminal wirelessly connected to an access point of a network, comprising:
- an access point group table in which a plurality of access points are grouped into a plurality of groups each including at least one access point;
a terminal position table in which the groups and the mobile terminal are correlated; and
a registering unit that registers a current position of the mobile terminal in the terminal position table based on an identifier of the mobile terminal and an identifier of a connected access point that is an access point to which the mobile terminal is connected.

Abstract
Access points are grouped into access point groups. An access point group table that stores correlation between the access point groups and the access points and a terminal position table that manages the correlation between the access point groups and a terminal are provided for a position managing server that manages the position of the terminal. An access point notifies the position managing server of the identifier of the access point itself and the identifier of the terminal being connected to the access point. In the position managing server, an access point group to which the access point belongs is found by searching the access point group table. The terminal is registered in the column of “access point group” of the terminal position table.
