Movement history reference system, movement information registration server, information collection server, movement history reference method and program

A movement information registration server which constitutes a movement history reference system by being mutually connected to an information collection server and a base station that communicates with a first terminal, the movement information registration server comprising:

• a storage unit that stores movement history of the first terminal;
• a movement history recording unit that acquires positional information of the first terminal from the base station, requests the information collection server to retrieve an address corresponding to the positional information and additional information related to the address, and stores the positional information and the address as well as the additional information returned from the information collection server to the movement history;
• and
• a movement history reference unit that retrieves a record regarding the first terminal from the movement history according to a movement history reference request from the first terminal, requests the information collection server to retrieve an address corresponding to the positional information contained in the retrieved record regarding the first terminal and the additional information related to the address, changes the address and the additional information retrieved from the movement history to the address and the additional information returned from the information collection server, and returns the changed address and the additional information to the first terminal.

A movement history reference method capable of recording and making reference to movement history of a terminal in a radio communication network that is farmed with a base station communicating with the terminal and a movement information registration server as well as an information collection server connected mutually to the base station, the method comprising:

• acquiring positional information of the terminal from the base station and requesting the information collection server to retrieve a first address corresponding to the positional information and first additional information related to the first address by using the movement information registration server;
• retrieving the first address and the first additional information from address data stored in itself by using the information collection server;
• returning the retrieved first address and first additional information to the movement information registration server by using the information collection server;
• storing the positional information and the first address as well as the first additional information returned from the information collection server to the movement history by using the movement information registration server;
• retrieving a record regarding the terminal from the movement history according to a movement history reference request from the terminal by using the movement information registration server;
• requesting the information collection server to retrieve a second address corresponding to the positional information contained in the retrieved record regarding the terminal and second additional information related to the second address by using the movement information registration server;
• retrieving the second address and the second additional information, and returning the second address and the second additional information to the movement information registration server by using the information collection server;
• and
• changing the first address and the first additional information to the second address and the second additional information returned from the information collection server, and returning the second address and the second additional information to the terminal by using the movement information registration server.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing movement history reference program that causes a computer, which is a movement information registration server that constitutes a movement history reference system by being mutually connected to an information collection server and a base station that communicates with a terminal, to execute:

• a function of acquiring positional information of the terminal from the base station;
• a function of requesting the information collection server to retrieve a first address corresponding to the positional information and first additional information related to the first address;
• a function of storing the positional information and the first address as well as the first additional information returned from the information collection server to the movement history;
• a function of retrieving a record regarding the terminal from the movement history according to a movement history reference request from the terminal;
• a function of requesting the information collection server to retrieve a second address corresponding to the positional information contained in the retrieved record regarding the terminal and second additional information related to the second address;
• and
• a function of changing the first address and the first additional information to the second address and the second additional information returned from the information collection server, and returning the second address and the second additional information to the terminal.

A movement history reference system capable of recording and referring to movement history of a first terminal, which is structured with a base station communicating with the first terminal and a movement information registration server as well as an information collection server connected mutually to the base station, wherein:

• the movement information registration server comprises
• first storage means for storing the movement history,
• movement history recording means for acquiring positional information of the first terminal from the base station, requesting the information collection server to retrieve an address corresponding to the positional information and additional information related to the address, and storing the positional information and the address as well as the additional information returned from the information collection server to the movement history, and
• movement history reference means for retrieving a record regarding the first terminal from the movement history according to a movement history reference request from the first terminal, requesting the information collection server to retrieve an address corresponding to the positional information contained in the retrieved record regarding the first terminal and the additional information related to the address, changing the address and the additional information retrieved from the movement history to the address and the additional information returned from the information collection server, and returning the changed address and the additional information to the first terminal;
• and
• the information collection server comprises
• second storage means for storing address data that is a list of addresses corresponding to the positional information, and
• data retrieval means for retrieving an address corresponding to the positional information from the address data, retrieving additional information related to the address, and returning the acquired address and additional information to the movement information registration server.
