20120058780 | COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM AND COMMUNICATIONS METHOD - A communications system and a communications method that enable to collect location information without imposing a load on the network. In an RNC of a communications system, when a communication controlling module performs communication connection processing to a mobile station among a plurality of mobile stations, a positioning module measures the location of the mobile station and the communication controlling module transmits location information of the mobile station to an exchange when communication is connected with the mobile station. In the exchange, a communication controlling module receives the location information transmitted from the RNC and a storage module stores the received location information. Then, in response to a request from a management center, the exchange transmits the location information stored in the storage module. | 03-08-2012 |

20120064915 | MOBILE STATION, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND COMMUNICATION METHOD - A mobile station, a communication system, and a communication method that are capable of efficiently collecting location information of any user. A communicating module receives a positioning request including attribute specifying information from a management center, a determining module determines whether measurements of the location are necessary or not based on the attribute specifying information in the received positioning request and the attribute information stored in advance. Then, when the determining module determines that measurements of the location are necessary, a positioning module performs measurements of the location and sends location information thus measured to the management center. Accordingly, it is possible to collect the location information of the mobile station that agrees with an attribute that the management center desires and therefore, it is possible to provide an attentive service and the like based on the location information. | 03-15-2012 |

20120066266 | MESH DATA CREATION METHOD - Provided is a mesh data creation method allowing appropriate expression of population densities while making a balance between accuracy and granularity. In the mesh data creation method, when the number of samples in a region of reference mesh data with a predetermined size is not less than a threshold, divided mesh data is created by dividing the region of the reference mesh data. Namely, each portion with a high population density can be expressed by a fine region of mesh data and each portion with a low population density by a coarse region of mesh data. The above makes it feasible to prevent meshes from becoming too fine to ensure accuracy or, conversely, from becoming too coarse to maintain granularity, thereby resulting in failing to achieve a detailed grasp of population densities, and thus to achieve appropriate expression of population densities while making a balance between accuracy and granularity. | 03-15-2012 |
