System for conforming position of moving terminal
First Claim
1. A system for confirming a position of a moving terminal comprising:
- a radio communication network including a plurality of base stations, each of said base stations corresponding to one of a plurality of individual radio areas;
a moving terminal having a specific identification code, said moving terminal including a receiver for receiving a paging signal including said specific identification code, and a transmitter for wirelessly outputting a response signal in response to said paging signal;
a first data base for previously storing position data representing positions within said plurality of individual radio areas to which a person holding said moving terminal may visit, and base station data representing respective ones of said base stations corresponding to said positions to which the person holding said moving terminal may visit, said position data and said base station data being stored in an associated manner with respect to said identification number of said moving terminal; and
a service center means for paging one of said moving terminals by use of said radio communication network and for identifying base station data corresponding to a given one of said base stations which receives said response signal output by said moving terminal; and
position retrieving means for retrieving from said first data base corresponding position data associated with said identified base station data, and for outputting said retrieved position data as a candidate for location of the person holding said moving terminal.

Abstract
A system for confirming a position of a moving terminal in a radio communication network including a plurality of base stations each corresponding to one of a plurality of individual radio areas. A moving terminal having a specific identification number is provided which includes a receiver for receiving a paging signal including the specific identification number, and a transmitter for wirelessly outputting a response signal in response to the paging signal. A first data base is provided for storing position data representing positions within the plurality of individual radio areas to which a person holding the moving terminal may visit, and base station data representing respective ones of the base stations corresponding to the positions to which the person holding the moving terminal may visit. The position data and the base station data are stored in the first data base in an associated manner with respect to the identification number of the moving terminal. A position retrieving means is provided for identifying base station data corresponding to a given one of the base stations which receives the response signal output by the moving terminal, for retrieving from the first data base corresponding position data associated with the identified base station data, and for outputting the retrieved position data as a candidate for location of the person holding the moving terminal.

11. A method for confirming a position of a person holding a moving terminal in a wireless communication network including a plurality of radio base stations each corresponding to one of a plurality of individual areas, said method comprising the steps of:
-
a) preparing a first data base for storing position data identifying positions to which a person holding said moving terminal may visit and base station data identifying ones of said radio base stations corresponding to said positions to which the person holding said moving terminal may visit; b) paging said moving terminal and identifying a given one of said radio base stations which receives a response signal from said moving terminal; c) retrieving from said first data base position data associated with base station data corresponding to the identified given one of said base stations which receives the response signal from said moving terminal; d) outputting said retrieved position data as a candidate for location of the person holding said moving terminal; (e) providing a second data base for storing telephone number and address data of companies and individuals; and (f) retrieving a telephone number and an address from said second data base corresponding to said position data retrieved in said step (c); wherein said position data stored in said first data base in said step (a) comprises names of companies and individuals which the person holding said moving terminal may visit. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
