Radio communication apparatus, information processing system, program and radio communication method

An information processing system comprising a radio communication apparatus capable of communicating with a base station of radio communication and moved with movement of a movable body and an information processing apparatus that processes information acquired by the radio communication apparatus, wherein

• the radio communication apparatus includes:
• a storage unit having recorded therein position information of unknown base stations whose base station identification information attached to the base station is unknown;
• a notification unit that notifies the movable body or an operation subject of the movable body of the position information of the unknown base stations recorded in the storage unit;
• a communication unit that receives a radio signal containing the base station identification information transmitted from the base stations including the unknown base stations, wherein the radio signal further includes base station attached information attached to the base station that is the source of the radio signal;
• and
• a recording unit that records the base station identification information contained in the radio signal received by the communication unit in the storage unit, wherein the recording unit associates the base station attached information with the base station identification information and records the base station identification information and the base station attached information in the storage unit, and
• the information processing apparatus includes a processing unit that associates the base station identification information contained in the radio signal received by the communication unit near a position of the unknown base stations of the base station identification information recorded in the storage unit and the position information of the unknown base stations.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored therein a program causing a computer to function as a radio communication apparatus capable of communicating with a base station of radio communication and moved with movement of a movable body, the radio communication apparatus comprising:

• a notification unit that notifies the movable body or an operation subject of the movable body of the position information of the unknown base stations, the position information recorded in a storage medium;
• a communication unit that receives a radio signal containing the base station identification information transmitted from the base stations including the unknown base stations, wherein the radio signal further includes base station attached information attached to the base station that is the source of the radio signal;
• and
• a recording unit that records the base station identification information contained in the radio signal received by the communication unit in the storage medium, wherein the recording unit associates the base station attached information with the base station identification information and records the base station identification information and the base station attached information in the storage unit.

A radio communication method executed by a radio communication apparatus capable of communicating with a base station of radio communication and moved with movement of a movable body, comprising the steps of:

• Recording, in a storage medium, position information of an unknown base station whose base station identification information attached to the base station is unknown;
• notifying the movable body or an operation subject of the movable body of the position information of the unknown base stations recorded in the storage medium;
• receiving a radio signal containing the base station identification information transmitted from the base stations including the unknown base stations, wherein the radio signal further includes base station attached information attached to the base station that is the source of the radio signal;
• recording the base station identification information contained in the radio signal received from the base station in the storage medium;
• associating the base station attached information with the base station identification information;
• and
• recording the base station identification information and the base station attached information in the storage medium.
