MOVEMENT DETERMINATION DEVICE AND MOVEMENT DETERMINATION METHOD
First Claim
1. A movement determination device that determines whether a mobile communication terminal that performs mobile communication by visiting any one of a plurality of communication areas and performing radio communication is moving or not, the movement determination device comprising:
- visiting area information acquisition means for acquiring visiting area information indicating the communication area that the mobile communication terminal is visiting;
storage means for storing the visiting area information acquired by the visiting area information acquisition means as a visiting area information history being a history of the communication area that the mobile communication terminal is visiting;
peripheral area count acquisition means for acquiring the number of peripheral areas indicating the number of the communication areas located at the periphery of the mobile communication terminal;
reference range specifying means for specifying a reference range of the visiting area information history stored by the storage means in accordance with the number of the peripheral areas acquired by the peripheral area count acquisition means; and
determination means for determining whether the mobile communication terminal is moving or not by comparing the visiting area information history stored by the storage means in the reference range specified by the reference range specifying means with the visiting area information acquired by the visiting area information acquisition means.
